Just before the April event

[leggierissimo]

[With a search party apparently forming to go find Beat, Joshua knows that Neku would want to go, too. The gargoyle has been worried in his own way. Joshua isn't that blind. Still, he's waffled hard on whether he wants to ask Neku to go or not - there's always something that seems to happen around mid-month, and all things considered, he doesn't want Neku or Shoka to be caught out in Lager Woods when it happens, especially if it's something particularly awful.

It also makes him a horrible hypocrite, since he's willing to be out there himself under the same conditions, but that's ultimately what makes him sigh and walk up the stairs anyway. He's going soft.

There's a quick knock on Neku's door, followed by the door opening just a crack, enough for him to call through.]

Neku?

[unlivinglegend]

[Neku's voice is muffled:]

Come on in.

[He's in the pile, curled up in one of Beat's stolen hoodies.]

[leggierissimo]

[... oh, Neku. He comes the rest of the way in, closing the door behind him and seating himself on the pile next to the gargoyle.]

You're worried about him, too.

[Just an observation. One hand lifts and cards slowly and gently through Neku's hair.]
