action; 7/18

[ needless to say, there's plenty on steven's mind after he leaves the group that he woke up with. the first thing that he does is return home to rest - hypothermia is (not so surprisingly) exhausting, but sleep doesn't come easily. no matter how high he puts up the heat in his apartment, he can't seem to shake the cold that has penetrated into his very core.

layering helps, but only a little bit - it's warmer than any of his suits, but the chill still lingers in his body as if the spirit that they disturbed is still lingering around him. sitting around in his apartment with his thoughts isn't doing him any favours either; the fresh memories of seeing death and experiencing it slowly are still fogging his brain. it's not doing him well to dwell on it, which is why he leaves the building. it looks quite odd for him to be wearing so much in the middle of july, but he can't bring himself to care very much.

it's there that neji will find him, leaning against a wall and scrolling through his CereVice without much focus. he gives up after a little while with a sigh, idly wondering if taking a walk can clear his thoughts. when his gaze rises to what (or rather, who) is in front of him, he stops. ]


...You.

[ despite the apparent curtness, his tone isn't isn't accusatory. it's surprised and soft, but above all, tired. ]
