whatwas[The PCD is set on a bedside table, so nothing is really the center of focus. The part of the window in view is carefully boarded up, and the bed is large and clean. And occupied.
Horst wakes the moment the sun is gone, just a twitch of the fingers at first and then a groggy mumble. He rolls onto his side, instinctively moving towards warmth. Yuca is next to him, though very much awake; the PCD can't see much of him at first, though.
Horst's arm snakes around Yuca's waist and pulls him closer.]
Hey. Fancy meeting you here.
...House is quiet. What'd you do with the kids?
[He sees the blinking light, makes a face, and turns the PCD off]

Date: 2011-02-21 07:31 am (UTC)[He eyes the PCD, which has at least a dozen messages on it, and scoffs] You're causing a scandal, Yuca.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-02-21 07:34 am (UTC)[Taking the PCD and browsing through the various messages.]
Though- really, you'd think we'd been doing something inappropriate.

Date: 2011-02-21 07:37 am (UTC)...Have you spoken to Negi today?
[They have been known to go days without speaking to their kids, or at least Horst has. Parenting what?]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-02-21 07:38 am (UTC)[Airily. Yuca is just as... spacey now as ever.]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-02-21 07:44 am (UTC)You should wake me up more often. I prefer it to the kids coming in and jumping on the bed.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-02-21 07:45 am (UTC)[Not bristling away at the touch, but not quite nuzzling back either. The event won't change who he is, after all.]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-02-21 07:54 am (UTC)[Horst is used to it by now; most of the time, he seems to do these things just to reassure himself that Yuca is still there and not leaving yet.]
Be careful this week. No one seems to know what the hell the Animus got up to, but it's something to do with blood.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-02-21 07:57 am (UTC)[He picks his book up again, thumbing through the pages idly.]
Thicker than water... true ties on the inside... do not forget. Ominous. The animus love speaking in riddles.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-02-21 08:10 am (UTC)No one seems affected, except Rhode.
[And although he's pretending to take this all at face value, to ignore what he thinks the riddle means, he's...really bothered.]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-02-21 08:13 am (UTC)[He looks over his shoulder at him, curiously.]
They're talking about rearranging blood ties. You've figured that much out at least, right?
[Offline]
Date: 2011-02-21 08:18 am (UTC)[He sighs and shakes his head] It's just a week. Never mind.
Listen, I spoke to Usagi. She's going to try something with my soul. To...fix it. Heal it.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-02-21 08:22 am (UTC)...hm.
[After a long moment, Yuca turns back to his book. And then, idly-]
Wait until the event is over to make sure you feel the same way.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-02-21 08:32 am (UTC)[He frowns at the book then.]
Astrology?
[Offline]
Date: 2011-02-21 08:37 am (UTC)[Humming.]
Was there a man named Galileo in your world?
[Offline]
Date: 2011-02-21 08:42 am (UTC)[Mostly because Horst has never really subscribed to the notion of it. His family has always been too pragmatic for it.]
Tell me some trivia to wow people with.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-02-21 08:43 am (UTC)[He shrugs.]
What sorts of things do you want to know? This book is a little dated.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-02-21 09:09 am (UTC)[He strokes Yuca's hair absently, like one would a cat--except Horst doesn't like cats, so he has Yuca instead.]
Tell me something about Tauruses. If there's anything believable.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-02-21 09:19 am (UTC)[That still gets a little smile out of him anyway.]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-02-21 09:23 am (UTC)Besides, the smile was all he was really after.]
And what does astrology tell us little humans?

Date: 2011-02-22 02:01 pm (UTC)[A pause, and he scoffs faintly. He's not a magician, he's not much of anything now besides a spouse and parent, and being able to put use to what should be useless trivia seems to annoy him. Why know something you have no use for? He'd rather leave that sort of thing to Yuca, and then bug him for random details later.]
Anyway. I found a map, and I'm fairly sure I drew it, but I can't really decipher it. Have I mentioned the Inner City to you lately...? At all?
