[It's July 1. The date hadn't meant too much, other than the fact that for some reason, the Garden was on its way to taking over the Mansion. It seemed to be spreading at a rapid pace, enough to cause concern. But it was low on Minato's list of concerns at the moment. He had something else to worry about--even besides turning more plant-like--and that was trying to figure out how to stay upright on his feet without wanting to fall over, pass out, or vomit. He would very much like the room to stop spinning too.
Minato resorted then to just sitting on the floor with his back against the side of the bed. It might've been more logical to sleep in the bed. When he had the strength in him to get up there, he would.
But right now he was as comfortable as he could get from just sitting where he was with his eyes closed, and trying not to pay too much pay attention to the way his head hurt and the incessant chatter of the larkspurs in his room.]

action;
It reminds me of when I first arrived.
action;
How do you feel now?
action;
Okay. You?
action;
[Yuu reached over and plucked at one of the tiny tendrils.]
This is a new look for you. What's it like?
action;
... I can feel that.
[Which was already kind of weird in itself. It didn't hurt or anything.]
It just feels like you're touching me.
action;
...Weird. [It was a late attempt at a save. His hesitation had been too noticeable for that to cover it up.]
action;
He brought a hand up to rub his eye to look at Yuu again. He knew who this was, he knew he did. Then why did it feel like he didn't or couldn't, to the point that he hadn't wanted to look away. But that was awkward, and so Minato did.]
It'll go away soon. ... You look worried.
action;
It's probably nothing. I mean, the last few days have been weird all around.
action;
When he looked up at Yuu though to start speaking again, he was slightly surprised, like he hadn't expected Yuu to be sitting right there. He looked down to avoid appearing any more alarmed, thinking that it was still more startling that he couldn't remember what Yuu looked liked the moment he looked away. Something was really wrong, but it wasn't going to set him on edge. Yet.]
Mn. It's not like it'll last forever.
[He didn't like how that came out though.]
action;
Since...]
....Where did we come from?
action;
From there?
[From back at the Mansion, as Minato indicated by pointing behind him with his thumb. That seemed like a good enough answer for the time being.]
action;
But...weren't we somewhere else before that?
[The question didn't seem as urgent as it might have ten minutes ago. His voice held only vague curiosity; the answer really didn't matter.]
action;
Maybe.
[Minato would try to remember it later. In the meantime he was still making patterns in the sand, then when he noticed sand on the edges of Yuu's pants, he brushed it off for him.]
... I like where we are now.
action;
Me too.
action;
What's it feel like to you?
action;
It feels...good.
[He could remember that feeling good wasn't that normal for him. But it was getting harder to remember why.]
action;
I'm glad.
[He gave Yuu's hand a light squeeze.]
... But I meant the vines.
action;
[Yuu might have blushed slightly, but he didn't pay any attention to it.]
Like a plant, I guess.
action;
Can you be more specific?
action;
action;
You're not going to try, are you?
action;
It might hurt.
action;
I like that you're here with me.
action;
[Yuu looks at the water, too, then slumps sideways so he's leaning on Minato.]
With you, I mean.
action;
Then stay with me.
[He leaned his head against Yuu's, comforted by their closeness. He had asked before, and Yuu had complied. Really, Minato shouldn't be so lucky.]
