Okay, so... The last week of April, I was an artist, and a productive one despite claiming to be blocked. I've the room full of sketches and paintings, and a few that aren't finished yet but I'll probably get to it eventually.

[It would be silly to just throw them away after all.]

Problem is... I have a lot of them, really, and as much as I like some, I find silly to keep most of them. Besides it's not as if I can sell them, and actually many are kind of slice-of-life themed. Things I witnessed during that week and decided to portray on a whim so some of them could even be considered pictures I suppose, and that's not counting the random portraits I made without anyone asking for them. So, if any of you guys want any of them, the sketches, portraits or paintings, just give a shout and I'll give them to you.

I'll set a stand for today outside my place, House #21, with the sketches and paintings that are up for grabs, so just drop by and have a look if you want them.

[True to his word, there's going to be a stand outside House #21 the whole day, with sketches and paintings on display. The paintings are mostly generic and landscape style though a few may picture a few of the Luceti habitants. The sketches are all from Luceti people, from portrait-like sketches to family scenes, Keiichi spent all his time drawing and painting after all. In fact he will probably be painting, giving the finishing strokes to a couple of paintings he had pending.]

[ooc: Feel free to come up with scenes for the sketches yourselves. Keiichi was pretty much an artistic version of Hughes during that week so he drew many things -of course the amount of sketches isn't as big as of pictures and there's probably like one or two featuring a similar scene, but there may still be ones your chars like. he was actually pretty good at it -must be the genes-.]

[Is this a setup for some pervy joke?

Because she'll punch you if it is. :| But for now, he is humored.]

Anytime!

[It could very well be. However, Keiichi just smiles at her calmly.]

I'm glad. Rena isn't a bother either, no matter when she comes.

[And he returns his attention to the painting, pointing at a chair close to him for a second.]

Why don't you sit? You'll be more comfortable that way.

[She continues to smile at him, though the vibrance to it dims somewhat into a calmer show of affection as Rena perches herself onto the chair to which Keiichi was gesturing.]

I'm glad. The house is a lot quieter when you're not in it. Satoshi-kun and Rika-chan don't play like Keiichi-kun does.

Is that a way of saying that I'm a noisy fool who only causes chaos at home?

[He's fooling around but he knows what she means. He supposed the house would be quieter, even more since Hanyuu left again but... He loves her, he loves them all but Minato is his best friend and he also needs him. He tries his best to keep bothering his friends from Hinamizawa, though... But, of course, it won't be the same and he's guilty for it.

For months he was here alone, all his friends left after he finally reached them. Rena returned and left, like a fleeting dream. And he was alone, guilty for being late, because they had been there alone and without him for so long... Feeling as if somehow, at one time in which he hadn't been looking, they all had speed up with their bikes and left him behind, with him not knowing where to head to. And during that time... Minato and Haruki where there, Minako-chan too and Hughes-san and Ami-chan...

Then his friends returned and he tried to keep going on with them at the same pace, but Minako-chan left and... Minato would have been fine, he could be alone... But Keiichi didn't want him to be, so he caught up with him. And not it feels as if he's the one leaving the others behind. As if they are again slipping through the fingers of one hand because he's holding Minato and the others tightly with the other.

He wants to be able to close both hands. But he isn't strong enough for it, is he?]

[It's not an attempt to make him feel bad about his decision. She no more wants Minato to live alone than Keiichi. But it is a little harder now, to live apart from him. It had been a comfort to have him near her, after the unfortunate way she had left Hinamizawa.

But his question does make her flustered.]

No, no! That's not what Rena meant at all!

[He knows, imagines, where and when she's from, it's not hard to guess. And he knows that being around her may be some comfort but he's scared too that it may just add stress and worry to her. Because she thinks he's the same Keiichi that is dead in her world now, so if she ever even considers the idea of him leaving this place, she will think that it's to a world where he's dead. That he won't return anywhere... Just as he knows that's how it is with her, even if he tries to find comfort in the idea that she too will be brought over to a new world and they will escape fate.]

Well, if that's what worries you I could go there from time to time to dance around in my underwear and sing horribly.

[Trying to keep the light mood, even if this will probably earn him a punch after all.]
