"...You don't remember me...very well...but know Ryuu...you aren't something to break. You aren't something for someone to buy...I'll stay away if you at least have fun with Nyl and Seph..."
Tutsumi backed away slowly, his head down with his hair covering his face. If someone was able to see under his hair, he would actually be crying silently right now. He hadn't heard what anyone else had said other than Ryuu. He slowly turned around and headed into the forest, far from the Academy...and his sister...

Seph sighed and crouched down, falling into a sit, and then letting himself roll back, lying down. He took a few deep breaths to slow his heart rate, but wasn't being very successful. He remembered the tea and the kettle, and groaned softly at the thought of cleaning it up.

~Bit jumpy tonight, thief-sensei?~
Nyl waited in the main room. She had no business interfering with Ryuu and Tutsumi.

She sees Neko and stops. She's too panicked to think. It's just colors and she messed up and why is he here? Does he see her?

~Hey, man. Know what you're thinking, Seph.~
His food on the table, Reeve sets about cleaning the teasaster area.

-=Neko needs to know. He digs a small symbol into the ground where he left off, and walks towards the dojo, past Tut. he opens the back door, and looks inside, looking down at Ryuu. He showed little of his emotion, but a heavy mental sigh was apparent on his face as he moved his gaze away, to the wall, trying to squeeze his words out. he looked back into her eyes, almost as if he was peering into her soul=-
Who am I, Miss?

Ryuu closes her eyes and tries to disappear. Not here. Not now. She's still a mess and he sees her. She should've stayed hidden in that corner. No. This is bad. Too soon. She just saw Nyl. And Nyl was nice. Nyl was going to make things okay. She always did. Ryuu remembered that. Nyl always made things okay.
"No body. You're nobody. You don't exist. Not now. Too soon. Not ready. You'll be angry. Neko's come too early. Should've scrubbed harder. Too messy."

~Couldn't tell you why, Doc, other than I get like this every so often. No matter how I try, when I get like this, I flinch.~
He rolled over and picked himself up off the floor, moving into the kitchen to help Reeve clean his own mess. "Thanks, Reeve. What am I thinking?"

Reeve wrings out a rag over the sink.
"You're thinking the same thing that I'd think if anyone important yet noticeably missing for a while came back home and started to do the Yoko Ono. That is to say, 'WTF.' "

-=Neko's face didn't change from how one might normally see him. He -slowly- knelt down, and pulled his sleeve up, revealing the thick steel bracer on his right arm. He reached under the metal, between the cloth and the steel, and dug out a simple gold ring, a man's ring. He held it up to Ryuu, staying a good few feet away=-
Not angry, Ryuu. Just a little lost.

It wasn't her business to interfere with Ryuu and Neko, either. Ryuu knew where she was, if she chose to come find her.
~Afraid of snakes?~ There was an underlying concern in this question. She knew, vaguely, that Orochimaru had taken Seph and then let him go.

"I made a mess. Blew up a couch. Made people angry. Please don't be angry. I'll clean up the wood. I helped sweep. Back and forth. I swept and made the wood go away. Is it away?"
She puts her head down, letting her hair flop in her face.

Seph shook his head a bit, "I don't know about all that. I've missed Ryuu, yes, but where she went and how long she was gone is not my business." He smiled a bit, "I don't think she remembers me, but that's fine." He snapped his fingers and burned away the rest of the liquid on the floor, gathered up the shards of kettle and swore to make a new one the following day.
"She'll be fine. She and Nyl are getting along." He nodded.
~Not so much, anymore. The one I tried dealing with last night disappointed me, as did his Uchiha Servant. I definitely wouldn't mind running this particular snake over on the highway.~

It's fine... Couches can be replaced... Messes can be swept up. Noone is angry with you.
-=Neko extended his arm, slowly, offering the ring to Ryuu=-
Take this... And the next time you get afraid, angry, or you just want to blow a couch up, squeeze it. Squeeze the ring as hard as you can. It's strong enough to hold up through it.
-=He sat the ring on the floor, and withdrew his hand. If her condition had worsened since the last time he saw her, and from when her father last saw her, she was very fragile, and the last thing Neko would want to do is 'break' her=-
