Closed to Kira and Setsuna

Setsuna really had no idea when a half an hour was, so he just went right outside like Kira told him to as soon as he got Kira's last reply.

The whole suggestion of a talk was never a good one, so the kid was on edge, no matter what Kira said. Hands in his pockets, he glowered at the world in general waiting for Kira to show up and explain whatever this was about.

"Of course I'm okay," Setsuna said like it was the most ridiculous thing ever, and besides, he was fine. As for where to sit...thankfully they were near one of the many restaurants with outside seating, so Setsuna pointed to it.

"That'll do for seating. And a fruit juice would be nice. Apple?" Well, if Kira was so eager to get him something, might as well let him, right?

But also, Setsuna knew he needed to settle Kira's concern, and now. He still wasn't accustomed to Kira worrying about him so much, but Setsuna would also admit some of his actions over the past few months probably hadn't helped keep Kira to stop fretting over him.

Setsuna had leaned back, comfortably, then took the apple juice with a quick, "Thanks," when Kira brought it over. He laughed when Kira felt his forehead -- which was perfectly normal -- and asked, "Senpai, why are you freaking out? I'm just a little tired, that's all."

But he was lying, and he knew it, and he was afraid Kira knew it too. Oh, not that it was anything to make a fuss over, and some part of Setsuna knew he might have to tell Kira eventually what was going on, but he didn't think now was the time to say.

"Nah, nah. Apple juice is fine," Setsuna assured Kira, content with that. He could tell from Kira's questioning, though, that Kira didn't fully believe he was being honest.

Unable to look Kira in the eye, Setsuna just didn't bother responding to the question and drank the juice, hoping that Kira wouldn't think much of it. Maybe there was something else to talk about.

The second Setsuna finished his drink, he said, "So Cayce is also considering we might be fictional (http://community.livejournal.com/dizzy_land/147069.html?thread=8646269#t8646269) due to outstanding evidence. What do you think?" After speaking, though, the kid groggily leaned his elbows on his knees and tried his best to breathe normally.

It wasn't too labored, and Setsuna managed to set it right, then he took another swig of apple juice.

"Nothing's wrong. I'm fine," Setsuna insisted, because he was okay, just tired. "I need a nap, that's all," the teen added, hoping that would calm Kira down.

he had smiled to help ease Kira's fears, but once Kira mentioned a collaborated effort, Setsuna frowned. "That...who could or would collaborate something like that? It's freaky.... Cayce mentioned an Author Elite. Think it's anything like that? And can we find this Author Elite and make them send us home?" Naturally -- everything had to go back to that at some point or another.

"Well, I didn't know what to think of that Devil guy. He seemed okay.... I finally figured we're all fictional though, because Pikachu showed up." Setsuna wasn't sure why that was the turning point, but it seemed a good thing to bring up and distract Kira with.
