...she probably did. I hope she doesn't get into too much trouble either. [Who is he kidding...she definitely caused a big ruckus. Sinclair gives a little huff over the phone]
Why are you blaming yourself? You didn't start anything...[He frowns a little] Hey, when you're back...can you tell me everything? Cethin told me what he knew, but...
[ There it goes with the association again. Oria figures that Satria had leveled his elementary tactics to targeting people Oria is closely associated with. He already feels angry about the fight. ]
I hope you won't be too bored in the meantime. That's definitely a suspension in the works.
...ah. I did break his nose so that's a big suspension isn't it--[mentally, screaming] Oh no. Beatrice will be so upset...I hope it's not too late in Germany when they contact her...
[aaaah he's sorry big sister!! He tried to stay out of trouble!!]
I'll talk to her about this. It's the least I can do. I'll tell her to give me a call tomorrow.
[ Oria stifles his yawn but it can still be heard through the phone. ]
The business proposal didn't go so well, so I have to make up for it tomorrow. Shoot me a text if anything else happens... or if Satria tries bothering you again.
[ After a few more days, Oria returns to school and the first thing he does is lug all the stuff he brought back for Sinclair: his picky self's favorite snacks and several books by recommendation based on the book that he got Sinclair before. He hopes Sinclair will like these.
Hm? But Sinclair doesn't seem to be inside the dorm room... so Oria will change his clothes into something more comfortable and wait for him. ]
[With the suspension in place, Sinclair isn't allowed to be seen in school uniform or venture beyond the dormitories and cafeteria outside of reporting to his hall teacher. He hands over the packets of homework completed and collects the new ones, and returns to his room, pointedly ignoring all the whispers and stares. Of course anyone would be surprised...
He pokes a distressingly squishy bruise on his cheek as he returns to his room, nearly dropping his homework when he realises he's not alone anymore]
[ Oof. Down they go. Oria laughs a little when they bounce on the mattress just a tiny bit. ]
It was so intense, but I got through it like I always do. I learned a lot from the experience too. So I'd say that overall, it was a good time. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Do you still wanna hear about Satria? If you do, give me a place to start.
Mm...[Sinclair pauses for a second, frowning and then sighs, pressing close. Bed. Warm. Safe. ] Did you always know he existed? That he was...your twin?
no subject
[ Uuughhh]
He...I might have gotten into a fight? So I'll definitely be in trouble tomorrow. [ Mumble mumble]
...Oria...his name is Satria Evelyn.
no subject
Are you hurt anywhere? Are you okay?
[ And that's Sinclair's well-being because of course it is. ]
no subject
[ If he keeps the ice pack on, he can get some of the swelling down before it looks too bad ]
I'm fine though. Really. I was more worried for you.
no subject
[ A short pause. ]
Do I have to teach someone a lesson...
no subject
...there's nothing wrong with me. It's fine. Everything got patched up easily. [ aaaaah, why did he do this, and he can see Oria's evasive words now]
Don already got into a fight with Satria, you don't need to add to it.
no subject
[ There's a deep sigh on the other end of the line. ]
I'll thank her and probably bring something back. I hope she beat the shit out of him.
[ He sounds even more worn out despite that. ]
This is absolutely the worst timing. I haven't even been gone for a full 24 hours yet... I'm sorry, for getting you involved.

Mm. I will. Don't...don't worry so much about me, okay? [So Oria wont be coming back tomorrow then.]
I miss you...take care of yourself too.
no subject
[ He tries to sound chipper even with how drained he feels. ]
Good night, Emil.
no subject
[He hangs up, and then messages Beatrice for a call, and then spends a good half hour apologising to her, despite her confusion.
Just a few more days then...]

Ah. Oria--
no subject
Oh, you got that. Good. Hi, Emil! I'm back.
no subject
Welcome back. How was everything?
no subject
[ He lets himself be hugged and returns it, gently patting his back and resting his forehead on Sinclair's shoulder. ]
It was tiring. I'm soooo glad to be back here. Got you some snacks and booksâthey're on your desk.
no subject
You didn't have to...but thanks. I appreciate it.
no subject
[ Oria lifts his head from Sinclair's shoulder. ]
Did the fox keep you company? Hm?
no subject
no subject
[ Does Sinclair want to toddle over to the bed with Oria in tow or walk over there normally? ]
no subject
Mm. You went through a lot it sounds like...
