( though it stings, a part of him expected as much. patient though this ritsu may be compared to his own, he was thorny still toward rei. to hope their relationship would be by far more repaired by halloween was ... a silly hope, and one he lacks the right to have.
but he knows, too, ritsu—probably—doesn't mean it, and perhaps, optimistically, it might be nice to think ritsu's prickly reply disguises more affectionate emotion. they're brothers, aren't they? )
if my deer ist ruby stuck wants me over so soon then i'll be over postman haste !
( responding normally, as if everything were normal and ritsu hadn't said what he had, as usual. it was an unfair question, anyway, to both of them.
rei's pace is not the quickest, but he's there fairly soon despite it being a brand new location, with the help of a little sweet talking to the locals every few blocks or so— he's as worried about ritsu's potential injuries as he is eager to see his darling brother. (though he does delay arriving to the door by a minute or two, to scope out the sort of housing ritsu's arranged for himself ... acceptable, he decides. he'd still rather ritsu live with him, but this is enough, for now.
and then!! very politely, he knocks on the door (and rings the bell, if there is one). )
