Log;

Akito skipped along, careful not to put too much stress on his recently healed legs, but feeling good that he was all patched up, going to the café, and going to see Adam again. The sky was clear and from what he could tell, there was no curse. A perfect day.

He rounded the corner and stepped into the square, stopping for a moment to look around. Adam wasn't anywhere in sight yet. Ah well, that was alright too; Akito had all the time to wait.

After all, it wasn't like he was being hunted.

...Maybe he should have bothered that smartass for some directions. Or even waited for that girl he spoke a bit with and asked for more. 'It's like any other entrance' is a rather disappointing answer. He’d been searching the whole damn city for something like that for the last.. who knows how fucking long. He wasn't going to start keeping count of the days like some criminal locked in a cell.

He meandered into the busy square and looked around. Probably the fourth time he's passed through the area. Didn't that one idiot post a map of this place before? Fuck.

Kaito hesitated in his thinking for a second and stopped. And stared. No fucking way. Finally. He could pick out that four-foot brat in a crowd of a thousand if he ever had to.

"Akito!"

That booming voice completely shattered Akito's excitement and joy. It was accompanied by that tone, too, the kind usually followed by rubber-tipped bullets and a ball cage. He whirled around, blanching, wavering gaze focusing on his older brother's lanky and hostile figure.

"Onii-chan!" He gulped and forced a smile. "Onii-chan, I haven't seen or heard from you in a while! How have you been?"

But he was shrinking away, backwards, because Kaito had that predatory feeling to him and there was no way he was going to injure his body after what Simon Tam had so kindly done for him. The boy pulled the sleeves of his shirt down a bit, self-consciously, trying to hide the bandages around his wrists and hands.

"Cut the bullshit. Do you have any idea how long I've been out here looking for you?"

He didn't expect him to answer that question. Kaito moved towards the other at a determined pace, watching him intently with narrowed, reptilian-like eyes. Ignoring Akito pulling at his own clothing and inching away from him as he approached. The expected response. The little annoyance had better felt some regret for this wild chase he put him through.

"Just what the hell were you thinking? Running like that?"

Of course Kaito had been looking for him. He was the unrelenting stalker type of the hunter variety, and Agito's secrecy about both wandering into the Underground and returning from it would have only incensed his older brother further.

"I-It's not... There were people there, it's not like I was alone." Of course, said people weren't really there to look after him. But wasn't he capable of taking care of himself? ...Not according to his physical state after returning, no.

"B-Besides, I'm alright," Akito offered in reassurance, knowing it wouldn't help. He gulped again, took another step back, hunched his shoulders to make himself smaller. "It's not like I came back... not in one piece..."
