[ Sougo was well aware that the minute he steps outside, there was no guarantee for safety. He was well aware that the danger of the world was real and if hypothermia didn't get him, some kind of crazed monster probably would. But hey -- maybe his strength of will and hatred of Hijikata would make him beat the odds. ]
Probably not. That would be too convenient. Just tell me what you see when you look out the window. Or you could always set yourself on fire and I'll just follow the smoke signal?
[ He tossed on his jacket, strapped his sword to his side (he fortunately still had his weapon) and abandoned the makeshift explosive. ]
Just don't leave, Hijikata-san. There's no guarantee we'll be able to get back if you leave to try and find me. I'll be mad if the weather kills you before I get the chance.
[ Okita drew in a breath before he opened his door and headed out into the bitter cold. ]
Outside now.
[ He wandered a few steps aimlessly, searching for signs of life -- lights and other cabins. He felt as though he was being watched, eyes boring into his back -- but he didn't turn around to look. He felt as though someone was walking beside him, but he didn't even give a glance.
Because Sougo knew if he entertained it, he would be haunted by his sister. So he would keep his head forward and eyes straight; he would keep his thoughts focused...because the minute he caved and looked at her was the minute he would give up all of his fight just to join her. ]
:'[ Mitsuba will always hurt!! but ugh so sorry for my delay. Work's been nutty!
