Wary friends... [COMPLETED]

[thewizardhowl.livejournal.com]

Characters: Howl and Asuka.
Content: Howl goes back to his hotel room. Asuka tags along.
Setting: Haja o Que Houver [F4]
Time: Saturday early morning, around 4-5am.
Warnings: Howl in just a towel (you get the picture), and Asuka swearing at Howl at one point.



The room was relatively plain -- at least by Howl's standards. The one he had back at his castle was more elaborate, which was to say, far more cluttered than the neat, homey, but worn hotel room at the Haja o Que Houver.

"Make yourself comfortable." Howl yawned, tilting his head to one side in an attempt to work the kink out in his neck muscle. He walked towards the side table and picked up the upside-down plate that covered another before he turned to look back towards Asuka. "It's cold, but I think it's still okay to eat." A half scoop of mashed potatoes with peas, carrots and one last slice of what appeared to be roast beef.

She cracks the door open when Howl has said for her to get it and snatches the robe from where it hung on the handle. Fastening the belt around her, she gathers her plugsuit and steps out of the bathroom. The bath has succeeded in lightening her mood, and even if her wounds are stinging a bit, Asuka feels much better now that she does not have the plug suit on and she does not smell like blood anymore, "That felt nice!"

Noticing Howl sitting on the bed and tinkering with the journal, she hops onto the bed and peers over his shoulder, the thought that the gesture might annoy him did not cross her mind even once, "Whatcha doing?"

He had just responded to the comment (http://thewizardhowl.livejournal.com/556.html) left by someone on his journal entry when she'd come up behind him. "Just checking the network." He smiles, fingers fiddling with the tiny keys. "I'm trying to find out how this nice lady found my entry." Tinkering a bit more with the contraption, Howl is not the least bit bothered by her presence.

"I assume you're feeling much better now?" He doesn't wait for her response, and instead puts forward the question that has been seeking his attention for the past few minutes. "I didn't catch your name, Scarlet." He looks up and smiles, the corners of his mouth just tilting up slightly. "It's polite to introduce yourself, you know."
