beau just... wanders into winter dorm, running her hand along everything? kind of just looking at it. trying to memorize it, maybe. she seems sort of melancholy, but at least she's not as despondent as she was last night.
no kidding ichiro seems to be looking around for something - when he spots beau he perks up a little bit and comes over to her immediately. there's something tucked under his arm, though he won't let her see what it is right away. for such a long, wild day, he looks... better than he has in a really long time, and offers her a smile. ]
You wanna come do something with me for a little bit? Up on the roof.
cute, though! he grins at her, and nods, and up the roof ladder they go! once they're both up to the top, ichiro drops down on one of the blankets they left out here forever ago, taking up a ridiculous amount of space as usual, and then finally reveals whats under his arm. ]
...You remember when you were in my memories and saw Kuko, yeah? He used to have this tradition that like - low key, he'd never let us skip it. Whenever we'd fight a battle together, we'd drag our asses out to the nearest konbini, and buy two cokes.
[ and that's what he's got! two glass bottles of coca cola and a bottle opener, which he sets down in front of him. ] Didn't matter if we won, or lost, or whatever. He always said it was how you closed up the day - usually spouted some Buddhist mantra about it, but I'm pretty sure those were usually made up.
....but it's a good tradition. Even if we're not friends anymore, it - [ it was an important time, in his life. an important memory. something he wanted to hold on to, and a feeling, right now, he really wants to replicate with someone who has become very, very close to him in the eight weeks here. ]
...just thought it might be a good idea to wrap up right.
she listens, head tilted a bit, as he talks about kuko, and about the tradition. and the more he explains, the more she just sort of smiles a little, very clearly touched. she leans forward to push his arm gently, very playfully.]
... Yeah. Yeah, of course, man. You're right, you gotta end a story with the right cap.
Think after this, I could probably stand to never hear "ending a story" ever again, but, exactly, you got it.
[ that's teasing, definitely, and he grins at her when he's jostled, jostling her back a little bit in return. ichiro pops the top off of them both, and then holds his bottle out to her. ]
[ fantasy german.. it sounds a little weird in his mouth but that's okay. the irony here is that kimura subaru is half german and japanese is his second language.
anyway! he will take a long drink, and then exhale, and then just kind of - smile. he can't help it. ]
Think maybe we're gonna - it was, what. We're gonna leave this place better than we found it, right? Think our ending pulled that off?
I can't wait to see them. They're gonna have like a million questions. [ his cool new scars, ] But, I can't wait. They're - they'll probably start fighting fifteen minutes in, and I don't even care.
[ aaaaaaa he's so HAPPY, god, it feels good to be happy.
as beau leans against him, he allows it with no trouble, returning the gesture. ] What about you? You get to bring Molly back, right?
I'm thinking, uh - I think maybe we're gonna use a wish to knock Lucien the fuck out of Molly's body. And then... I don't know. Take on the rest of the world, I guess.

Cheers. [a beat.] Hah - prost! Like Caleb says.

Yeah, I think so. I think at the very least we made it not worse. [she takes a drink.] It almost doesn't feel real.
