[Akira hadn't hovered when Phoenix, Magnus, Taako and Anaido had shown up in a seemingly dead pile that morning, but that was only because he a) was trying to give the group a bit of space because. . . all that blood. . .]
[and b) because Yu's death had hit him harder than the death from last week and he needed a bit of space to get his head on straight]
[but once he has composed himself, he goes searching for Phoenix by-- uh. moonwalking all throughout camp??? hm. where you at, hobodad]
[ but okay no phoenix is near the laundry, sitting down with a bag of frozen peas pressed into his forehead and generally taking it easy. he's in jorts with no shirt for this reason, and if akira looks closely he can see a couple of nasty scars on both his forehead and back of his head. fun!! ]
[ he lifts one hand in a wave when he sees akira. come kick his ass ]
[I'M GONNA SAY NICK CARRIED HIM B/C IT MAKES MY HEART WARM]
[he'll hang out in the infirmary for a bit to let Dick take care of his eye, so! once it's fully dressed though, he is going to head back to his cabin to change, and Nick happens to catch him just as he's getting up to do just that]
[Akira was MIA on Saturday night, and no matter how hard someone may have searched for him he was nowhere to be found. but! he reappears for the execution on Sunday and stays reappeared. no more disappearing acts]
[he finds Phoenix in the kitchen, flashing him a wan smile as he immediately goes for the coffee machine]
[the past weekend was. . . well. pretty shitty!! even if they did manage to find an actual killer this time, the emotional fallout of voting for Nie Huaisang took a toll on everyone. Beau especially. and if there's anyone else in the camp who is as close to Beau as Nie Huaisang was, it's. . .]
[. . . Akira finds him in the memorial hall, wrinkling his nose a bit as he steps inside, gaze flickering towards the flowers]
[this probably does not come as a surprise to Phoenix, but hey!! guess who is tap dancing everywhere!!]
[IT'S THIS GUY]
[it's extremely inappropriate for how he feels right now but WHATEVER, IT'S FINE, HE WILL DEAL WITH IT, where is Phoenix. time to look for him near the isolation cabin]
[so! on Tuesday, Akira-- who should be resting-- is making his way to Phoenix's cabin. once he gets there, he knocks on the door with one crutch before poking his head inside and nodding when he sees Phoenix]
[ yeah phoenix is wrapped entirely in bandages like a freaking mummy for reasons akira surely remembers and is taking it easy. he gestures for akira to come sit on the bed next to him ]
