[ on monday, kazuki might notice there's something delicious smelling in the air at the restaurant - something that isn't just steak. it smells spicy and wonderful, and is floating up from the stairs where the kitchen is.
[ oh he is absolutely investigating like a true teenager with a neverending appetite. pokes his head right in without hesitation. who's in here, what's cooking? ]
[ CUTE... strohl's out looking at the screens at the moment, hands on his hips and frowning deeply - when kazuki addresses him, he blinks, looks a little surprised... and then huffs, ducking his head. ]
...Yeah. Yeah - don't worry. First thing I did was run out fast as my legs could carry me, nearly crashed into her on the way. [ a little softer: ] Thanks. For asking. And for keeping her company, too, against your will or otherwise.
[ man. what the hell was that. strohl's out on the terrace, hands on his hips, foot tapping away... he glances when he sees kazuki, though, and gives him a little nod. ]
[ we are standing innnn the homo location. or well strohl is just kind of standing in the center location in japanifornia with his hands on his hips, squinting up at the skyscrapers. he looks like, comically out of place. ]
[ crawls in... you know why i was busy too now..... here we are.....
anyway. once everyone's been safely triaged and handled, it doesn't take strohl too long to come to check on kazuki!! he's not hesitant, if only because, well - he's not that kind of person, and his heart is far, far too big to see a wounded comrade and ignore it, let alone with the horrors they all went through.
he comes in when things have quieted down a bit, holding something small in his hands - a water and a small package that looks like a sandwich wrapped in tinfoil, which he gently sets down. ]
...Always find eating helps. After dealing with an excess amount of magla. [ quietly. ] Kazuki.
[ he's looking a little better, if not by much. still wincing with every movement, but he's at least been bandaged up, and all limbs are bending the right ways.
kazuki still looks a little wary with strohl, but not necessarily like he wants to argue. he'd be too tired to, anyway, judging from the way he just stares at the sandwich blankly. ]
Thanks. [ ... ] I don't really have an appetite, though.
...Suppose the resort did - at least on the other side, but there was something wrong with them. "Programmed" oddly, or something. None of them were real.
[ but there are in fact people everywhere here. there are so many elda...
and prinnies. he's eyeing one of them a little wary, fully expecting it to attack or something. nyeh. ] It's...odd.
[ you know who would fucking love all these location is taair there are so many birds.
strohl is not taair. therefore, he's warily eyeing the flamingos at the pool from where he's sitting on a lounger thing because he has never seen a flamingo in his life. what the HELL is that thing. they're having some kind of staring contest..... before he tosses the pea from his drink (????) in that general direction and it distracts the birds. alpha win.
also it's the pool so he's not got a shirt on. it means kazuki can see he's got the pictured tattoo on his left arm, and also a fresh new one on his right in the same spot! it looks like it's reddened and it's got one of those fancy plastic wrap things to protect it on top of it, even. it is not glittery.
he gives a sup nod once he spots kazuki in his peripheral. ] Oh. [ pauses briefly... then looks back at the birds. ] Afternoon. Odd looking bird, isn't it...?
[ hateful how he sees the tattoos and immediately decides that strohl can have one (1) coolness point. he nods back then follows his gaze with a frown. ]
What, the flamingos? Guess they do look kind of weird when you think about it.
wknd 0 sat
anyway. we're here at the coffee shop. strohl's holding the cup that says ASS with a look on his face that suggests exhaustion. ]
Really puts your faith in whatever you're about to drink, doesn't it? [ dead inside ]

For real. They could seriously go for a rebrand here.
