... Perhaps...

You... are right.

[blurspot]

That you're lonely?

[No you goober, that it isn't the same.]

[intercalaryninja]

That it isn't the same, Reira-dono. I only do follow you.

[But if he's honest with himself, his young master is right. He is... very lonely.]

[blurspot]

[...Hmn. There is another blink...And this time the boy sits up, holding his bear a bit closer as he tries to come to his decision.]

...If I said 'don't do that'... ...Would you still follow me?

[intercalaryninja]

. . . If that is what you wished. I would protect you when you came home, and enquire where you were in the day, but if you truly didn't want me to follow you, I would not.

[soft_focus]

[...That works. So in that case.]

...What if I said you had to go outside still?

[intercalaryninja]

Yes... but where are you going with this, Reira-dono?

[The man asks, tilting his head.]

[blurspot]

....You're gonna do that then.

[Uh oh.] Starting tomorrow.

You have to make friends for you.

[intercalaryninja]

. . .

[An order to go make friends... That's going to be... harder than Reira might expect. He didn't even do that back when he was off duty. Still, there's a nod and a bow.]

If that is what you wish. I will head out tomorrow then.

[blurspot]

...Don't force things though. [Oof now that's just being paranoid, child.]

[intercalaryninja]

[There's an amused chuckle]

I promise so, Reira-dono. Have faith in me.

[blurspot]

...Okay.

...It's a promise then.

[intercalaryninja]

A promise it is...

Now get some sleep, Reira-dono. Tomorrow is a new day.

[soft_focus]

[So it is. With that, he lies back down, nodding.] Okay.

...

Goodnight, Tsukikage...

[intercalaryninja]

Goodnight, Reira-dono. Sweet dreams.

[And Tsukikage... well, after some moments of watching, he sleeps too.]
