Fude # 3 [Video] Help wanted

I know this is a bit of a strange request, but... We kind of need a person to take care of our friend -- [A bright voice in the background interrupts Tsuzuki's feed, making him jump. "A babysitter!"]

Shhh Watari! He's going to be mad if he hears you. Anyway, he's sick and need someone to help look after him. Not long. Just until--

[An excited voice is heard in the background, once again. "Bon's a good kid! Just remember to let him rest and feed him three times a day. And don't feed him spicy food!"]

Yeah. He can't handle things like that. But anyway, if anyone can help us look after him for a day or two I'll try to pay you. Might take a while though.

Tsuzuki should be responding soon. I got to it first, though ♥

We're in Unit 406. If you need help getting there, let me know.

[ WHOOPS why did the mun think it was the 18th today??? Clearly Anne just meant cannonfire regarding the quarantine threats! Anyway, she'll veeeeeeery reluctantly make her way over to that building, which is fortunately just two over, so she doesn't get very wet! The crude, yet-to-be-finished cloak will take most of it, anyway, and she'll be sure she doesn't have a hair out of place before announcing herself as well as she can without disturbing their neighbors. She'll even have a curtsy ready when the door does open. ]

Sirs, my name is Anne Boleyn, the woman you spoke with a short time ago. I have come to offer company to the poor boy in need.

[ Whatever happened to just knocking? ]

[ And at the door will be this young man here and his happy little owl. He's a bit surprised by the curtsy (who curtsies anymore?! Let alone in Japan... not that they're in Japan anymore... ) but he doesn't let it show. Instead, he gives the lady- Miss Anne Boleyn - a winsome smile and motions for her to come in. ]

Yutaka Watari ♥ Thanks for coming! 003 and I'll call Tsuzuki-- or actually, I'll have 003 call him.

[ On cue, the little owl flying beside him seems to nod before disappearing further inside the apartment. ]

You can take a sit in the meantime, Miss Boleyn.

[ Actually, now that he thinks about it... that name sounds awfully familiar. ]

[ She nods at the man, having as hard of a time understanding his name as she does with the other one he keeps saying, 'Suzuki' or something. At least that's how she'll end up saying it, you bet.

She removes the cloak to reveal a very old-fashioned red and green dress, much fancier than the damp cloak, which she's currently trying to hand off to him before going to take a seat. She doesn't just want to dump it on their floor, and she's not digging through their closet either.

A tiny owl flying off to do someone's bidding can't beat dragons, it just can't, so she just stares after it a moment as she sits. ]

Might I ask for the name of the charge?

Hisoka Kurosaki. Eighteen years old- I think [ He seems thoughtful here. Technically, Hisoka is sixteen and the additional two years... it must've been that long since he died... Anyway, he grins at Anne. ]

A bit too old for a babysitter but circumstances make it so that his poor partner will probably be too distracted to work properly if we leave him here without someone to watch him.

So~ I hope you don't mind ♥

He's also not used to being taken care of.... considering his situation back home...

[ The last part is mumbled thoughtfully. Watari tends to ramble sometimes... ]

Eighteen?

[ Anne abruptly stands, openly glaring. ]

You misled me, allowing me to think he was naught but a young boy. Eighteen years is long since a man grown. Where is it you are going that is so urgent, if I may also inquire after your business, sirs?

[ She pissed! But she's not such a bitch that she's going to abandon someone who's sick after already you know...showing up. But she wouldn't have said anything if she'd known it was a man, and maybe that makes her cold, but damn this is her health. ]

[ She may be angry ~~and her angry face is scary~~ but Yutaka continues smiling. He seems unfazed, but he's not about to make it seem like it's Anne's fault for jumping to conclusions. Instead... ]

The mission to find the cure for the sickness going around, of course! It'll probably help their cause if we threw a few more brilliant minds - just mine, really, Tsuzuki is more manpower - to the cause.

[ She did indeed, but he had a couple openings to correct her, now didn't he??? At least it got an Anne in the apartment, although how good that actually might be is yet to be seen.

Still, mentioning that they're going a-soldiering and for a good cause softens her features considerably. ~~Still, she doesn't forget.~~ ]

...How long do you plan on being away?

[Tsuzuki returns from Hisoka's room, surprised to see they have guests. He carries the tray out to the kitchen and comes to sit with them.]

Just a few days.

[ As soon as she sees another man enter the room, Anne immediately stands out of respect, especially as this is his home, and lightly curtsies with a bow of her head just for a moment.

Three days, that is awhile, but maybe she can ask Nash to bring her a few of her belongings. ]

Good day, I am Anne Boleyn.

It's so nice to meet you, miss Boleyn. [Tsuzuki bows as well. Next time he hopes he's allowed to call her Miss Anne, because that last name was hard to pronounce.]

I'm Tsuzuki Asato. I see you've already met Watari.

[ Good luck with that. Even 'Miss' is inaccurate, bro! But close enough to 'Mistress' to pass, and she's not about to correct foreigners on English etiquette at a time like this. ]

Yes, I have. It is good to meet you both, though the circumstances are trying.

[ When she straightens and sees Tsuzuki's eyes, it takes all her self-control to keep from outright gasping, but there is still a start in her breath. ]

Forgive me for saying, but your eyes are beautiful enough to inspire poetry. The color of royalty... Pray tell me I am not standing in a king's presence.

[ Whoops sorry not the time to flirt. But he is attractive...for a foreigner. Dem eyes. Anne can appreciate good eyes, as she's always complimented on her own. ]

[It has a catastrophic effect. Tsuzuki becomes self-conscious when people comment on his eyes, simply because it always lead to something bad happening. It's not Anne's fault, but it does make him panic, for just a second.]

Royalty? That's the first time I've heard that.

[He shyly takes a step back. Anyone can see that Anne is an attractive woman, and he's sure he's not the only one feeling how magnetic her personality is.]

I really can't thank you enough for coming here. If there's anything we can do to repay you, please don't hesitate to tell either of us.

[ His reaction is subtle, but noticable, especially to one as skilled at picking up on body language. It's especially easy with his simple and plain clothing... Really, it's so bland, and strange.

Perhaps she overstepped her bounds because he's married, not that marriage usually stopped a man...

Well, it's not the time, and she knows that, but courtly flirting is like breathing, really. It's hard to turn off. But she nods, smile settling back into something almost humble. ]

You are brave men to go and fight for his and everyone else's cure. I will pray to God for you both, and you can be assured my prayers will sound strongly for Mister...Kurosaki.

[ She butchers that name, but at least she tried. And what is she supposed to do if his condition worsens while they're gone? She hopes he doesn't die on her, that would just be terrible. If he gets worse she's calling a doctor, screw what they say. ]

May I meet him, or is he at rest?

Oh, Bon- He should be fine now...

[ Watari had been silent up until then, content to watch Tsuzuki and Miss Boleyn as they conversed. Was she hitting on him? Trust Tsuzuki to gain an admirer so fast.

Not that he could blame her, everyone notices Tsuzuki's attractive features....

Anyway, he smiles at this thought and adds with a playful grin,]

He was actually complaining about us getting him a babysitter just now...

[It's strange that not more people notices Watari. The man is perfectly suited for the limelight, from his long, flowy hair to his vibrant personality.

Tsuzuki doesn't genuinely dislike flirting. It's only the eye comments he can do without. Anne manages to remind him of things he loves, even without much effort, and once she plays more humble he easily warms up to her again. If they weren't talking about such grave matters, he would have tried to get to know her better.]

Speaking of Hisoka, there are some things you should know about him.

[ Oh don't you boys worry, she'll probably flirt with Watari before it's all over and done with, but purple eyes are just too striking to ignore! But she's seen many amazing things here, and she enjoys beauty where she can find it in such a wasteland. ]

Yes? Of course. What ought I to know?

[ He's watching and totally worried Tsuzuki will say something that will compromise them.

~~This is pot calling kettle black, considering the fact that HE almost compromised his mission with Tatsumi with his careless babble~~ ... ]

[He leans forward, obviously not wanting to speak too loudly. His whole body language shows that he's saying something that shouldn't leave the room.]

He hasn't been treated very well in his life. Because of that, he doesn't like it when people touch him.

Try to be kind with him. He has a good heart.

[ That's sad news to hear, as she assumes it means he's been beaten a lot, but if it means she can get away with touching him as little as possible and not offending him, that's a little bit splendid. She's smart enough to keep that thought to herself. ]

I will treat him as well as if he were mine own beloved brother in need of care.

[ And here's Watari to break the somber mood a little. ]

Great! ♥

Miss Boleyn, we'll make sure to pay you back with something nice! Or well, credits work too.

[Anne's reply fills him with relief. It's going to be alright. Tsuzuki resists the urge to hug her. Instead he touches her hand briefly, looking into her eyes.]

Thank you so much. You won't regret this, I promise.

[Turning to Watari, he smiles brightly.]

Is there anything else she should know before we go?

[ Watari looks thoughtful and then he smiles brightly. ]

Nope! Nothing comes to mind right now... but if 003 and I remember anything, we can let Miss Boleyn know-

[ he shows his phone/communicator. ]

through this, of course!

[ At the touch, her smiles becomes even softer, and she gets a chance to really enjoy those purple eyes before they go off to probably get blown out of his head. ...Really, they look like laymen, not soldiers, but who knows what could help in this bizarre war. She still feels as if she's holding on for dear life. ]

I will keep my, ah, tablet ever ready in the case of emergency, though let us pray non such occur.

[ Anne crosses herself with a short prayer, than reaches out to take both of their hands to kiss each gently, murmuring another prayer under her breath. ]

God bless the both of you.
