[ Voice ]
Where's Pilouette? [ But he knows. He suspects, at least. He didn't see her when he watched everyone come in. He was then reminded people died, and today that people are coming back. But still not her - he hasn't seen her and he doesn't know. He sounds somewhat lost, he sounds choked up. He half wants to just leave the journal behind and...
Precis... ] I want to- ... Wait, what was that!
[ And then it cuts off- ]
[ Action ]
[ Because his house just vanished. So did the pool There's just a grassy field with a tree in the middle of it. Shiemi was out somewhere and now it's just him and Skarmy, Shiemi's seven foot tall murderbird of steel. Her and Rin loo confused at each other. And then Skarmy squawks at him before making to fly off. Rin ends up flipping her the bird before going to collect Midori the turtle and go off to look all over down for where his house just vanished to ]

[ Nod to himself. Wait, where did Midori go ]
[Action]
[He told you about your turtle man. And now it's gone. Way to go... But luckily, it won't be gone for long! Caius is about to find her. By turning around, managing to walk two steps and tripping over her.
He doesn't kick her or hurt her or anything. He just sort of stumbles over her when he realises there's a turtle at his feet, falls forward and introduces his face to the floor. Ow. He's too tired for this.]

HAHAHAHAAHA ]
[Action]
Oh shut up, like I could've noticed her down there!
[DON'T YOU LAUGH DUDE he told you about the turtle and you didn't care. Also you're still missing a house. So there.]
[Action]
[ L O S E R he keeps laughing, but then makes his way over so he can pick up Midori to get her back with him ]
[Action]
What was I meant to do?! I would've kicked her if I didn't fall!
[On the plus side, tripping over Midori has helped him wake up some. So there's something!]
[Action]
Well... I got her.
[Action]
Good... [Well, he should probably get back to the task at hand. Arguing over something as small as this could wait until another. Or, more hopefully, will end up forgotten.
He lingers for a moment before turning to head off again, without being thwarted by anything at his feet this time.]

After looking around for a good amount of time and finding nothing, he heads over to wait for Rin at Seventh Heaven like they agreed. While waiting he takes a seat at one of the tables where he can keep an eye on the door while waiting for Rin to show up. It doesn't take too long for his sleepless night to catch up to him though, and before Rin manages to show up Caius has fallen asleep at the table. Arms folded on the table, head resting on top of them, breathing deeply.]

...
Well whatever, he won't wake him. He'll just go get him some food for if he gets up ]
