[Free Time - Ishi]

Ishi didn’t even give me a chance to leave the room before deciding where I would spend my time that afternoon.

Ishi yells in the distance.
Ishi
Oy! Tim! You in there, my dude?
Tim laughs.
Timaeus
Yeah, yeah.

I fixed my hair and opened the door a crack. She barged in immediately, thumping me on the shoulder as she swaggered over to my bed and sat down on the edge. At least she was wearing clothes this time?

Tim smiles.
Timaeus
How’s your arm?

She waggled her bandaged arm a little.

Ishi frowns.
Ishi
Still hurts like a binch, but it ain’t bleeding. How ‘bout you? Holding up okay?
Tim laughs.
Timaeus
Yeah, so far, I guess… But what are you doing here?
Ishi grins.
Ishi
I wanna hang out with my main man Tim, duh! Aoi left for lunch so I snuck out, ehehe.
Tim yelps.
Timaeus
Wh– you didn’t tell them?! They’re gonna worry about you!

Ishi yells.
Ishi
Let ‘em worry! I ain’t stayin’ cooped up in that goddam room for another five seconds!
Tim sighs.
Timaeus
Ishi…
