(GSE3) House Field: Seifer Leo's House

[Cipher Izanagi]

After shopping, and hanging out with his friends again, Seifer returned back to the house he was sharing with Rosalia, putting up the groceries he'd brought in, in a rather... particular... manner. It was very organized for someone like him though probably no complaints would come of it. Finishing, he'd help his companion put away her set of groceries as well before flopping on the couch tiredly and sighing. "Long day was long... How are you holding up Rose?..." he asked, looking over the back of the couch at the red head.

[RosaliaIzanami]

Rosalia flopped to her knees when they finally got all the stuff back to the house, not realizing how heavy food could be when you have to carry it all. But she helped put the items away in whatever manner Seifer wanted them in. It was essentially his house more so than her's, so she didn't complain. By the end of it, she was just happy she got some baking ingredients for making cookies, but she was exhausted. No way she could bake tonight. Maybe tomorrow morning or something, depending what they even were going to do tomorrow.

"Hm? I'm alright.." Rosalia answered, making her way to the living room. She took her seat in the chair from before when Neo and Tsubasa were visiting, hands folded in her lap as always. And yet, her body felt so heavy, leaning back in the chair and wishing she could sink away into the quiet comfort. Her gaze, first on Seifer, moved to stare up at the ceiling with a soft sigh. "Your friends are... interesting, to say the least... Everyone has such diverse personalities... Tsubasa and Haruka seem okay, Neo is kind of loud but harmless. Hana.. is a bit out there.." She sighed again, no blush in sight as she shut her eyes completely. "And I bet there's still more to meet maybe? Even if not, how did you meet all these people?... I feel like... I don't know anything you anymore..."

[Cipher Izanagi]

After the kind of day that had been going on, Seifer was just ready to get home. However he had an extra, passed out, guest for the night. Taking his sister into his bedroom he set her down on his own bed pulling the blanket up over Noel to her neck before walking out, quietly closing the door and sitting down on the couch sighing and rubbing his face. What the crap kinda day just happened? Being taunted about having two lovers, one being his sister, when that was very clearly not the case drained a lot of out of him. Then again, how everything happened really didn't put a whole lot in his corner, stacking most of it against him. Shrugging it off though, Seifer grabbed a drink from the kitchen sitting back down and flipping on the television, flipping through channels mindlessly.

[RosaliaIzanami]

Rosalia was quiet the entire walk home from the park, though she did manage to calm her sniffling and such on the way. By the time the housemates pair plus one got home, she was falling asleep on her feet. She was the first in the kitchen while Seifer took his sister to his bedroom to rest, getting a glass of juice before taking a seat in the living room in her usual chair. "A-are you okay, Seifer?... I'm.. I'm still sorry if I caused you trouble today... I-I was just worry that Noel was a stranger and.. I'm not sure what I was thinking anymore... I couldn't even win the fight..." she spoke softly, breaking the silence that wasn't filled with the random TV noise.

[Cipher Izanagi]

"I'm alright. And hey, don't worry... It was more those guys irritating me than you or Noel were. Look at it like this to. You came out of your shell some." he smiled looking from the TV to her. "It may of been in my defense, but you still came out of your shell. Which is a good thing." he laughed softly grinning a bit before looking back at the TV watching the screen. "Besides... Even with the result, I enjoyed your circus." he spoke quietly but was probably just barely loud enough for her to hear.

[RosaliaIzanami]

Rosalia felt her face heat up as per usual, more so embarrassed about coming out of her shell. It wasn't her fault she grew up a shy, protected kid, but he was right. She did something out of her ordinary routine, and it felt.. good. It reminded her of yesterday when she was wandering around the shopping district by herself for the most part. Then she heard about her circus, and her face darkened to a few shades deeper than her hair color. Both hands held the now half empty glass of juice tightly, taking a sip. "Y-y-you did?... I-I-I tried my best... I-it was the first time facing someone that wasn't you, s-so I was nervous..." she replied just as quietly, and despite her stuttering, the redhead was smiling nearly ear to ear while staring at her reflection in the glass.

[Cipher Izanagi]

"You did pretty well for your first fight. It came down in the end to how lucky you both were. That was it. You're both evenly matched. ...For some reason that makes me pretty happy." he spoke just as softly as before still staring at the tv screen, sipping on the drink he'd gotten from the fridge. "Just work on fighting a lot of other people and you'll be fine. Don't try to hard though... Just enjoy the game for what it is. Have fun, alright?" Seifer spoke to her again, looking in the red head's direction once more.

[RosaliaIzanami]

The female sipped at her juice slowly, and though she kept her gaze away from her housemate, she was listening to every word carefully. Only when she felt Seifer's gaze on her did she look up, smiling still and nodding. "Okay~" Rosalia finished off her juice, and prepared to get up and return it to the kitchen, but something stopped her. Her smile faded slightly as she stood, just so she could move to the couch with her housemate. "H-hey.. You've been.. tired a lot lately... Are you okay?.. Something keeping you up at night?..." Rosalia asked sincerely, remembering the day before with the fight against Sky, and today when they got home. She couldn't imagine what the other guys were messing with Seifer about, and truthfully she didn't want to know, but he still seemed out of it to her...

[Cipher Izanagi]

When questioned about how come he had been tired lately, Seifer smile faded and he rubbed the back of his neck. He didn't want to tell her because she didn't need to worry about him, but... "...I've been having nightmares lately, usually multiple times in a night since it forces me awake at times. It's just..." he sighed looking down into his drink and swirling it around. "It's just a silly nightmare, so it shouldn't affect me in such a way... But it does, and I don't know why yet... The nightmare itself is just as silly... I'm just... in a dark place by myself. The feeling of loss and despair flooding my body. It just kind of hurts being alone like that... But it's nothing more than a silly little dream. ...I really should just start ignoring it."

[RosaliaIzanami]

Rosalia frowned as Seifer explained the nightmare, sitting quietly and watching the male as he in turn stared at his drink. Loss and despair?... Lonelieness?... Similar to at the park, she slipped her arms around her companion's torso so that his arms weren't trapped, but more so that she didn't accidentally knock the drink out of his hand. It would be a shame to have a spill already in the new house. "It's okay, ya know, to feel down sometimes... But, it's just a dream, and you're here... You have your cards, and your friends, and... and your sister now, and..." She pulled back enough from the hug so that she could smile up at the male, tilting her head slightly. "And I'm here, right? So you're not alone. I don't think you could be alone even if you tried anymore~ So whenever you're down, we'll be here to pick you up again, right?"

[Cipher Izanagi]

Feeling the female's arms around him again, he hugged her back with one arm, nodding in response. She was right, he did have his friends, his sister, and her. So there was no reason to fear his dreams and be down all the time. Nodding again, he smiled back. "I'll keep that in mind. I'll be leaning on you all for support now to, now that you've said that." he smiled again shutting his eyes.

[RosaliaIzanami]

The soft warmth returned to her cheeks again, but Rosalia nodded nonetheless and smiled even wider. "Mkay~ I'm always here. I have to become a stronger fighter too, so my circus can grow and bring happiness everywhere~" She giggled softly, which turned into a yawn, the female scratching the back of her head. "E-eh... I can think about getting stronger tomorrow..." She got to her feet and returned her glass to the kitchen, then passed the living room on her way out as she headed for her own bedroom. "I'm gonna head to bed... Night, Seifer~ If you need an extra blanket or pillow, just say so. Sleep well."

[Cece Lockhart]

"Noel...
Noel....
Don't give in to temptation...

Noel suddenly wakes up after a random voice in her sleep speaks to her. "What in the world... was that...? That was something I never dreamed of before... and what temptation?" Noel spoke to herself quietly and as she fully woke up, she started looking at her surroundings and noticed she is no longer at the park. "Huh? Where am I? I don't remember coming here... I remember being at the park and then..." Noel couldn't remember what happened next no matter how hard she tried. "Darn, why can't I remember?"

Noel then got out of the bed she was in and noticed it was a guy's room. She didn't feel like bothering what could of possibly happened for her to end up there so she left the room and started her way out the door until she saw a note that said: I'm going out for a walk at the park for a little while, make yourself at home.... Seifer

"Huh, so this is his house then. Not bad, but I can't stay here forever, I need to find a place of my own." she said and walked out the house

[RosaliaIzanami]

Rosalia sat up the next day in bed when she heard the front door open, figuring it was Seifer like usual before remembering Noel. The redhead checked the second bedroom, and sure enough, the other female was gone. The note says Seifer went to the park... so Noel probably went there too... After yesterday though, I think it's best if I give her a day to relax. I caused some trouble for her... "Hopefully she doesn't hate me.." the lone female wondered out loud at the end, getting a snack from the kitchen. "Well, I'm alone right now... Seifer and Noel are at the park, and I've been to the shopping district already... Maybe I'll head somewhere else today." She made sure to grab her phone before leaving the house, since she didn't leave a note as to where she was heading out to.

[RosaliaIzanami]

Rosalia had stopped by in the shopping district with Seifer briefly to get ice cream, but decided to head home alone soon after getting their treats. She had homework to do, but after the first day of school, fighting Sky, and meeting Satoshi, the redhead was exhausted. The sugar in the ice cream kept her up long enough to get her homework done. Soon after that, however, she was in bed and asleep in an instant. Her deck box was in its usual spot on the bedside table, next to a set of what seemed to be fine art supplies like shiny wire and sparkly things, glue, and who knows what else she was going to bedazzle the box with.
