[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]
[ah. . . well. that's not very fun. Phoenix will get some exhaustion and worry in return, though there's an undercurrent of determination that never quite goes out beneath it all]

[ takes another... swig.... ]
no subject
Are you okay. . .?
no subject
[ bc everything is on fire, his cabinmates are dead, and they've only caught one killer..... ]

no subject
[steps forward to bump their shoulders together as much as he can. how tall is Nick I forgot]
Have you talked to Beau recently?
no subject
[ phoenix palms at his forehead. ]
.... Yeah.
Things are... messy, as I'm sure you're aware.
no subject
[boy is he aware. he heard about the blow out fight she and Chuuya had in the mess hall]
I don't know how to fix it, though.
no subject
[ for once, he doesn't have an answer. he just takes another long drink, closing his eyes. ]
no subject
[Akira isn't sure he's ever seen Phoenix like this before]
Want to talk about it?
no subject
[ kick him ]
no subject
[he doesn't kick him but he does bump their shoulders together again]
I'm asking about your feelings.
no subject
What's there to tell?
no subject
