Event Post 11 - End of Year Get-Together!

[pendulum_soul]

*Since this week is a week off from classes before the next year of school at the Academy begins, Yuya has decided to put a little personal get-together for his and Yuma's friends in the Osiris Red dining area. A chance for them to celebrate passing their finals and also to give a send-off to their friends who are graduating.

The tables have been moved to be around the walls of the room and have bowls and plates of various snacks, as well as various drinks in bottles (soda or water) which can be poured out into plastic cups that are provided. Music is playing off of Yuya's duel disk, but it's not particularly loud. This is definitely more a personal gathering party rather than a full-on party.

Don't feel your character knows Yuya and Yuma good enough to be invited? Just turn up anyway! They won't mind!*

*He shakes his head.*

No. Yuma's got a lot on his plate already at the moment. I didn't want to add to that or worry him with this.

[allunseeing]

*I feel like this would already worry him, if any of this got out. But he finally learns to keep his comment to himself.*

You care a lot about him.

[pendulum_soul]

*Yuya nods.*

Yeah.
He was the first friend I made here. We became pretty close almost straight away.
He and I have been through a lot together just in this last year, but he's had so much stuff happen to him recently.

[allunseeing]

I see...

It's nice to hear, he has such close friends. I don't really get to speak with him much. It's hard to... pinpoint people, essentially, when it's in that school building.

But it's nice to hear he has people who really like him.

[pendulum_soul]

*Now the subject has changed slightly, Yuya seems a little calmer.*

Myself, Yuma and our other friends, we all look out for each other a lot.

[allunseeing]

That's good. It's nice to be able to have someone who's willing to look out for you.

Or at least, I'd assume it's nice.

[pendulum_soul]

It is a nice thing to have. We can rely on each other a lot when difficult stuff happens, even if all we need is...
... *He stops himself, realizing what he was about to say. A slight look of sad realization hits him, before he finishes the sentence.* ... to talk.

[allunseeing]

*... kinda realized what I was thinking without me saying it, huh?*

Having someone to talk to is nice, too. I don't have anyone I can do that with.

[pendulum_soul]

*Yuya looks up at him curiously.*

You don't?

[allunseeing]

*he shakes his head*

I tended to be around a lot of people who didn't want to talk to me, for quite some years. Before that, I was mostly at home. Because of my disability, I was deemed unable to attend a school, or anything like that. It really sorta cut off most avenues for friendship and close confidants.

[pendulum_soul]

...you must of felt really isolated, huh.

[allunseeing]

*he smiles a little*

I managed to get by it. I've been able to talk to quite a few more people now, since not only coming to the city, but also to this school. Being here has been a very marked improvement.

[pendulum_soul]

*Yuya smiles a little at that.*

I'm glad things improved for you. I find the Academy is a good place to meet and talk to people.

And... you're always free to approach and talk to me, and Yuma too.

[allunseeing]

... You're not upset at me, then?

[pendulum_soul]

*He shakes his head slowly.*

It's the way you 'see', right? I can't be angry at you for that. It just... took me kinda off guard.

Besides...
*He pauses and glances over to Yuma for a moment, who's across the room.* ... I think it helped.

[allunseeing]

*... he smiles again, this time a bit more fully*

I'll be glad to talk to you at any time I can, then. You, and Yuma.

[pendulum_soul]

*Yuya smiles and nods.*

Anytime!
