Log:
[Lying under a tree, Cruz was thinking... Brooding... Broodinking.

He hadn't been feeling like himself at all. Even if he gotten his regular eight hours of sleep in, he would still feel... well, tired. And if someone were to speak to him, he would respond with a forced smile and a "I'm okay! Please don't worry about me!" However, there was always that hint of sadness on his face.

He knew people were always leaving Johto out of the blue... And he's seen some of his friends disappear too. But for some reason, it feels like that fact hadn't fully sunk in until Eve had left.]

... What am I thinking? It's better if things are like this, right? Everyone has a place to return to, so... Why do I feel-- [siiiiiigh]

Father... What would say in a time like this...?

[So, while Cruz is brooding he may hear a familiar singing voice--]

Aimo, Aimo... Neder rushe...

--?! [Cruz perks up at the voice.] That's...

[Alright, he's going to end his little broody brooder session to go look around for the source!]

Noina miria... Ender prodea... Fotomi...

[You shall find one green haired idol singing! She doesn't seem to be paying much mind to anything besides singing right now since... well, you may also notice a certain recognizable tiny round thing napping near by.]

We are in a warm ocean.

... [Cruz looks over to Pop-chan and he giggles quietly a little bit before looking back to Ranka to simply listens to her singing.]

Lulei luleia... The dancing larks in the sky are waves. Lulei luleia...

You are a young and gentle child.

[At this point she was going to check to see how Pop was doing but-- Hi there, Cruz.]

Ah!

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

[He'll laugh and clap for a bit.]

Ahaha... That was a beautiful song, Ranka. Um... I've never heard of that one before!

[nyanrolls.livejournal.com]

Ehehe... So you heard it.

[Nods and thinks about it for a bit.]

Ah, well... I don't think most people have heard it before. Since it's kind of a childhood memory of mine, I think?

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

[He'll just come on over and flop himself beside her.]

Eh? Really? Do you remember who sung that to you?

[nyanrolls.livejournal.com]

Mm, no... But it's the kind of song that has a nostalgic feeling to it, doesn't it?

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

Mm... It does! You're pretty lucky to have something like that for yourself!

[nyanrolls.livejournal.com]

Ehehe, right? This song always makes me feel better when I sing it. And it makes a good lullaby!

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

... [He pauses for a moment.] Hey, Ranka? How long do you think we're gonna be in a place like this?

[nyanrolls.livejournal.com]

Eh?

[nyanrolls.livejournal.com]

... Mm, that's kind of a complicated question, huh?

[One that she doesn't... really know the answer to herself in all honesty.]

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

Y-yeah... [He was going to follow up by saying "One of us could leave tomorrow", but he leaves that out.]

I guess I've been having these thoughts lately about people coming from home and going from home here. I mean... If you knew someone was going to a far away place, how... or what would you do?

[nyanrolls.livejournal.com]

[Thinking about that for a while before replying.]

I would be sad about it. But, hm... It's probably selfish but I like think that I would be able to meet them again if that were to happen.

[Speaks a little too loudly here.] I-I don't think it's selfish at all!

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

I-I mean...

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry! I-I didn't mean to yell... It's just... I was thinking the same thing too!

[nyanrolls.livejournal.com]

... 2/3 i lied.

[nyanrolls.livejournal.com]

[... Okay, she's laughing a bit.]

Ahaha, that was the first time I've seen you yell like that!

[nyanrolls.livejournal.com]

... But then that's normal, isn't it? Everyone wants to be able to see their friends.

[ffff turning a bit red since wow he's embarrassed and though she would've flinched or something]

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

... Y-yeah, you're right. I guess it's okay to be unreasonable and selfish sometimes if it's for people you care a lot about.
