Ritsu gasps loudly finding the one he was looking for the entire afternoon sitting in his own room.

The caretakers had been looking for him as well, it seemed he disappeared after lunch, which was roughly four hours ago.

The boy's white ears are folded up against his head, almost invisible in his unusually sticky looking hair. His tail wrapped around his curled up body. His head hidden against his legs, and...

Shaking violently from head to toe.

'Oi!' He says, but when he sees the boy flinch at the sound and even shaking more, if that was even possible, he reduces his voice to a whisper when he speaks again.

'You're Len, right?'

Said boy looks up at him and nods slightly, still shaking.

Fear dominates his bright emerald eyes, having Ritsu gasp inwardly.

'You OK?' He then asks. Naturally, he knows the answer already. It's really obvious that the kid isn't "OK" but he can't think of anything else to say.

Still shaking the boy shakes his head "no".

'The caretakers are still looking for you.' He nods again, but he doesn't seem to have any intention to move. Ritsu's beginning to think he might just can't.

So he walks up to the boy. As soon as he starts moving the blonde scoots away until his back reaches the wall. Shaking the boy covers his ears with his hands and starts rocking back and forth.

Immediately Ritsu stops and sits down on the floor, facing the shaking boy.

'It's OK. I won't hurt you.'

Emerald eyes lock onto his. The poor boy still doesn't stop shaking.

'Tell me what happened.'

The boy suddenly starts shaking his head very hard. 'No! ...' His voice cracks already on the second letter.

Ritsu notices how high the boy's voice is , and briefly wonders if he's actually talking to a girl. But for a girl his voice would be too low.

Strange...

Ritsu simply nods, not realizing that he's been talking more already than he normally talks in a week or two.

The boy looks back at him almost curiously. Something that suits him more than the fear that is still present in his eyes.

The boy looks kind of... cute, the "awwww" kind of cute though, just somehow...

'Who are you?' The boy suddenly asks, surprising Ritsu. 'Have I seen you before?'

Ritsu nods.

'We sparred a few times, and I've seen you at lunch a lot.' He answers, not noticing just how strange the statement sounds.

'O-ohh...' The boy stutters.

'And my name's Ritsu.'

The boy's eyes start to stare at the point. His ears pop up and he looks at the archer in awe.
