[overprotecting]

[ He opens his eyes slowly, body feeling heavy and uncooperative. All he can see is dark. ]

Subaru? [ No reply... no sound at all. His heartbeat begins to speed up. His hands press up against something solid and crumbling and cold. ]

Subaru?! [ He pushes at the stone in front of him, breaths coming out quick and shallow. A stone box. And he is trapped. Kamui begins to pound on the stone. Shoving, pushing with his feet, all the while starting to smell acid rain and rotting concrete. Stale, sick blood. Tasting sand in his mouth -- powder from the stone? He can't tell. ]

Subaru?! [ They had been together. Subaru could be in the same situation. He has to get out--

In his panic, he's managed to rock the tomb over, knocking the lid loose. He tumbles onto the floor, choking on his own breath and the dust in the room. ]

[oversmiling]

[...well, now. That's a familiar voice. On one hand, Seishirou can't help but be exasperated-- Kamui will be angry (to put it mildly) and no doubt attack Seishirou. Seishirou does, at least, have the advantage for the moment: Kamui is freshly here, and Seishirou has been here for quite awhile, more than long enough to return to normal.

On the other hand, Kamui's arrival will likely spur Subaru into living again, instead of being the hollow, worry-filled shell he'd turned into recently. Seishirou could accept Kamui's presence in that manner.

Besides. It would make Fuuma happy.

For now, though, Seishirou is just going to stand safely away from Kamui, on a ledge above him, and wait to be noticed.

It shouldn't take long.]

[overworking]

[The room full of sarcophagi was interesting, in a morbid sort of way. Maybe it was just because the Witch had sent him to ruins before to find treasures, but it was interesting, seeing the drawings on the walls, the strange lettering. The things people thought were important enough to leave behind was pretty telling after all. Those sorts of things could tell them about who was here before. Maybe even those shadow things.]

[But of course, his attention was drawn by away by a rather familiar voice. Was that really...?]

[There's the same, easy smile on his face when Fuuma spots the vampire falling out of the tomb, keeping his distance for now.]

Subaru's here, Kamui.

[oversleeping]

[Subaru only catches the last cry of his name as he enters the room, but Kamui's voice isn't one he needs more than a syllable to recognize. He freezes for just a moment, almost too stunned to believe what he's hearing.]

[Then the stone tomb crashes to the floor and Subaru's hesitation vanishes. He breaks into a run, rushing in the direction of his brother.] Kamui!
