[Video] [Origin: Prima Prime's Temple]

[actionshortshorts]

Hey guys!

[A sign comes up on screen, large bubble letters written on a piece of cardboard. It reads: "FREE CAR WASH TODAY! Though you don't have to be a car! Helpers paid in hugs! 8'D"

The sign is pulled back and Yuuta's grinning face comes up. He looks particularly excited.]

I heard from McCrane that you guys haven't been getting regular washings since you guys came here. I'm looking at you, Deckerd! So! What if we have a huge car wash today! I'll help anyone who needs a cleaning, though if anyone would like to help as well I won't refuse.

I'll be at Prima Prime's temple, so come on over!

... Then why would he accept my being reformatted? Erased?

[The bird shakes its head.]

I need to handle my own trouble. I should be the one to speak.

[Kagerou you don't talk.]

... All right.

They hadn't understood then. They didn't realize what impact it would have. But now they do. A lot has happened since then, Kagerou. It really is okay now.

... Well if you say so. Tell me if anyone does give trouble okay?

[thxforthememories]

... I see.

[But... 'a lot has happened'. While in a way, that's reassuring. If things have really changed. But on the other hand...]

Tell me something.

... he's all right, isn't he?

[To the rest, he just nods. He's not entirely sure if he could do it, after the Drift Fiasco. But it seems best just to agree.]

[Kagerou's concern draws out bright smile from Yuuta. 10+ approval points right there.]

If you mean Shadowmaru, he's fine. He seems a bit lonesome sometimes, but he's been well!

[thxforthememories]

Lonesome...

[Oh. Ouch. Right in the feelings.]

[He's silent for a good few seconds. A little longer than he probably should be.]

Thank you. For telling me.

I'm nearly to your location, now.

[Yuuta nods and looks up at the sky squinting.]

Ah - I think I see you! Hey!

[He starts waving and jumping excitedly.]

Over here!

[thxforthememories]

[... Yuuta you're impossible to miss.]

[He touches down lightly, a few feet from where the boy stands, looking down at him, expectantly.]

[Okay, kiddo, what now?]

[Action]

[Yuuta grins and runs up to meet Kagerou.]

Kagerou! Good, you're here! Now then, let's see how dirty you are.

[Yuuta holds up his hand clearly and wiggles his fingers before putting them on Kagerou's plating testing for dirt.]

[Action]

[thxforthememories]

[Normally, he would have pulled back, or gone tense, at the approach of a relative stranger. But... This feels different.]

[He crouches, instead.]

It's not that bad. I... fell in the lake... before.

[Kagerou that's not getting clean, that's a misadventure.]
