[Call filtered to onsen residents/employees, Magnus and Unicorn (since he knows they're friends), Draco (since he's heard Fay talk about the Quidditch before), Ashura]

[There is a certain tight gruffness to the man's voice as it comes through the call. A mix of frustration, irritation and perhaps some concern...]

The magician hasn't woken up yet. It's been over a day and normal means aren't doing anything to wake him up. Looks like a sleep coma. Just so everyone is aware of it.

Everyone at the onsen, we're going to have to divide up kitchen duties until he wakes up. I'll handle today.

I hope he wakes soon. But in the meantime, I'm willing to help wherever needed, Kurogane.

Just let me know, OK? [Smile]

[Video]

[souhi-no-arashi.livejournal.com]

[He'd hesitated to ask until now, but...]

Do you know how to cook at all? Or do laundry?

[Video]

[chiavarone.livejournal.com]

[Laughs]

Of course!

Ah... as for the cooking, well, I'm sure I can follow instructions?

[Video]

[souhi-no-arashi.livejournal.com]

If you're certain on the laundry, let's start there. And playing host to any guests. You're friendly enough, you can manage that.

We'll figure out some rotation for cooking, I guess. Pretty sure the kid can manage a few dishes too, so we'll have some options.

[Video]

[chiavarone.livejournal.com]

I can manage that. [Grin]

[Video]

[souhi-no-arashi.livejournal.com]

Good. I'm going out for food then, so I'll be back in a while. Watch the place while I'm gone.

[It was clear he could use the air too...]

[Video]

[chiavarone.livejournal.com]

Absolutely.

Don't worry, OK?

[Video]

[souhi-no-arashi.livejournal.com]

You don't know what sorts of trouble that guy gets himself into, but... it'll be fine. I'll be back in a while.

[Ends the call.]

[Video]

[knows-remorse.livejournal.com]

Is this your first time experiencing a sleep coma?

[Video] (at least I'm pretty sure this is the first time they've ever spoken...)

[souhi-no-arashi.livejournal.com]

[Stares just a moment, considering this is the first time he's seen the so-often-spoken-of Unicorn.]

No, the kid had one the first time he was with us in Somarium too. He'll wake up eventually. Just a matter of how long that'll take.

[Video] It is

[knows-remorse.livejournal.com]

Fay will be fine. Thank you for telling me however.

[Video]

[souhi-no-arashi.livejournal.com]

Hn.... No problem. He talks about you enough, I figured you should know.

After all if that guy goes quiet for too long, it's definitely suspicious.

[Video]

[knows-remorse.livejournal.com]

He speaks of me?

[Video]

[souhi-no-arashi.livejournal.com]

Amongst a million other things, yeah. You're a friend of his, right?

[Video]

[knows-remorse.livejournal.com]

I am fond of him, yes.

[Video]

[souhi-no-arashi.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it's mutual, since he's like that and talks highly of you.

I'll remind him once he wakes himself up to let everyone know he's alright himself.

[Video]

[knows-remorse.livejournal.com]

Very well, I am able to wait for his waking.

[Video]

[souhi-no-arashi.livejournal.com]

[Nods his head in acknowledgment to her before going to end the call, not sure what else to say to the creature.]

[voice]

[alphaophiuchi]

[Draco sounds only vaguely surprised, if not slightly bored by the predictability of Somarium stealing his players.] Yet another of the buggered things. I have to say, they do get in the way, don't they?

[voice]

[souhi-no-arashi.livejournal.com]

First time one has hit him. It's kind of unnerving happening to a guy that's got his nose in everyone's business, yeah.

[voice]

[alphaophiuchi]

I can't imagine who might take over a job like that. With any luck, he'll rejoin us again shortly and without much bother.

[voice]

[souhi-no-arashi.livejournal.com]

Hn.

He'll be sure to contact people when he wakes up on his own, I'll make sure of that.

[voice]

[alphaophiuchi]

Well, aren't you the considerate one. Letting everyone know he's out, making sure everyone knows when he's up...

[voice]

[souhi-no-arashi.livejournal.com]

Tch.

Look brat, I just didn't want him to lose his spot on that team since he goes on about it.

That's it.

[voice]

[alphaophiuchi]

I assure you, it won't happen. Even if he's out for a month or more, I can hardly lose my best player.

[voice]

[souhi-no-arashi.livejournal.com]

Then that was the only reason I let you know. He'll talk to you later.

[Clearly he's finished talking unless there is something more to be said by the boy.]

[voice]

[alphaophiuchi]

Well, I'm sure he will. Until then. [he's got nothing. Draco waits a moment before amicably hanging up, humming to himself.]

[kairyuuha.livejournal.com]

Is he going to be okay? He still hasn't woken up!

[souhi-no-arashi.livejournal.com]

He'll be fine. It happens here... Who, when and for how long is all random.

So we just have to... wait it out.

[One could definitely hear his distaste at having to just "sit back and wait" but they really had no control over it.]

[kairyuuha.livejournal.com]

Can't we shake him awake?

[Ryuu's not fond of waiting, either.]

[souhi-no-arashi.livejournal.com]

... already tried that some. We do it anymore and even more will come loose in that air-filled head of his.

He'll wake up.

[kairyuuha.livejournal.com]

Should have figured you'd try that. There's really nothing we can do then...

Alright. What can I do?

[souhi-no-arashi.livejournal.com]

We're going to have to split out his chores and kitchen duties. I already got the other blonde idiot taking over the front desk and hosting duties.

I'll take care of dinner for tonight, you work out between you and the kid who's taking the meals for tomorrow.

[kairyuuha.livejournal.com]

I call dibs on dinner tomorrow! I'll fight him for it!

[souhi-no-arashi.livejournal.com]

So long as someone does it, you guys do what you want.

[kairyuuha.livejournal.com]

Yes, sir!

[Might be the sound of things breaking as he rushes off to ask Little Puppy about this business.]

[kase-ni.livejournal.com]

Fay-san...

[Syaoran remembers the time when he and the princess had their own sleeping coma periods. But now it's his turn to witness...

Still, Syaoran managed a small smile here.]

I'll do my best. Please let me know anytime if there is extra work to be done, I will not mind at all.

[souhi-no-arashi.livejournal.com]

Mm. I will, kid. Without hesitation.

[Echoes that smile if only very faintly.]

Counting on it, in fact.

[kase-ni.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Kurogane-san...

It's my turn to help you and Fay-san, so please rest easy.

[souhi-no-arashi.livejournal.com]

Hn. You and your friend work out who'll take the meals for tomorrow. I told him the same thing.

[kase-ni.livejournal.com]

All right. I'm sure that we can make a schedule by ourselves, so that we can have turns with certain chores.

[souhi-no-arashi.livejournal.com]

Work out what you want with him, just let me know later.

I have some things to pick up for dinner, so I'll be back in a while.

[kase-ni.livejournal.com]

Understood. Please take care when you go out, Kurogane-san.

[Video]

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

A sleep coma?

Well, I'm sorry for your sake, but I almost envy him that.

[Video]

[souhi-no-arashi.livejournal.com]

Envy him? [Lifts a brow.]
