( It's been a little over a week since the anonymous post was open to everyone and he had a rather unfortunate conversation with someone close to him. Asriel hasn't really sought company. He's used to being alone, after all. At the same time, he can't keep looking at the empty bed across from his. It's just gotten painful for him at this point.

He doesn't want to use video this time. Asriel doesn't really want to worry anyone. A part of him is even ready to settle into the woods until things blow over. If they blow over. )

howdy, everyone

does anyone know if you can change rooms at the inn for just a little while?

That shouldn't be an issue since there's a lot of room.

What's wrong?

text: un - starblazing

[letmewin]

oh, okay. thanks

( There's a pretty significant pause then before Asriel responds. He doesn't want to worry anyone or talk about what they discussed. )

my sibling's gone for a little while, so i just wanted somewhere else to stay for now.

[rustyhonesty]

oh. are you going to be okay?

[letmewin]

dont worry about me

i'm used to being alone.

I think you can but why would you?

[letmewin]

hi, ken

uhm
it's really complicated

... do you think you could check on chara? i think it'd be good if they had someone make sure they were okay.

[whatsamada]

It's not a problem but what happened?

What did Chara do?

[It wouldn't surprise him that Chara had, in fact, done something questionable to their sibling. Indeed, what did they do now?]

Don't see why you can't! But I don't think there's anything special about changing rooms.

un: starblazng

[letmewin]

oh okay

thanks a lot

i've been in the same room for a while now

text, un: FromTheSwamp

[ricketybiscuit]

ohhhh! so you need a change of scenery! want to hang up some pictures? I can help!

[peninhand]

Are you okay?

Has this something to do with your sibling?

[letmewin]

hi, monika

sort of. but, don't worry. neither of us got hurt

( He remembers Monika being afraid of that during their initial conversation together. )

[peninhand]

Do you want to tell me what's happened?

I'll understand if not, but you shouldn't go through what's happening alone.

[tantailizing]

i'm sure you can

you okay?

text; un: starblazing

[letmewin]

( Asriel's happy to hear from so many friends, but he didn't mean to make anyone worry. )

i'm okay zidane!

my siblings just away for a little while

so i thought it'd be better to sleep in a smaller room

text; un: starblazing

[tantailizing]

oh okay

[He's thinking they're just off on a quest at least.]

if you want you could crash with me. don't have to move out completely to do that

I'm sure it'd be no problem at all, if you asked the clerks.
But...
Is everything okay, Asriel-kun? Do you want some company, maybe?

[Ochako pauses, hovering over 'send' on her next sentence she types. She looks over at the spare bed in her little unit that's been left most untouched, except for being more a place to put things... Would it be too forward to ask outright? Mmh...no, she needed the push when she got his note, so--]

You know, you're always welcome to stay here as long as you need to.

text; un: starblazing

[letmewin]

if it's no trouble, i'll ask them
but i think it'll just be for a little while

i'll be okay ochako

( He doesn't want anyone to worry about him, and seeing him now when he's feeling pretty down might do just that. )

thank you but

i cant really stay away for long

chara's gone, and i want to make sure the flowers are taken care of.

someone should look after them

[floatsaway]

[Gone? Did their sibling actually leave, like the girls here did? Ochako can't be sure, but if regardless...a loss like that is extremely painful - Ochako knows this perhaps the best right now. And, well...she can definitely understand wanting to be left alone for a little while to just sort of get it all out in solitude. It's why she doesn't push too hard, or get upset at being turned away. Asriel is a smart kid, and sometimes you just need a bit of space to process everything, at first.]

I know you will be, Asriel-kun.
But that invitation is always available to you, you know.

In the mean time, though...is it okay if I bring something by your new room later?
Something sweet - I think you'll like it.

[sighsheavily]

I doubt there's much of an issue with that.
Have you encountered some trouble within your own?

un: starblazing

[letmewin]

there's not really a problem with it

its just a little emptier

ill find somethin smaller for now.

[sighsheavily]

I see.
Have you other trusted companion your age around?

text; un; dandelionwine

[concierto]

I'm sure there would be no issues with that. Sometimes roommates can be quite the pain for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes it's the smell!

Is there something wrong with your room?

text; un: starblazing

[letmewin]

really? i always thought that sharing a room could be really fun. it gives you a chance to spend a lot of time with someone

do you have a roomate here?

oh, no
it's just a little emptier right now. so i just wanted to spend the night somewhere else tonight

[concierto]

Most of the time it is, assuredly, fun! Unless you have a grumpy mess of a roommate like I do. What I mean is sometimes you are best to pick and choose your company!

Yet if you're alone, that's another story in itself. Are you alright?
