It could be said of him that he cared too much. He however saw that it was part of who he was. He knew he had to protect them all. He worried because at times like this he was the last one to worry. Everyone else got comfortable in the peace but not him. He could feel it wash over him like a spring rain.
"Touma?" Seiji asked walking up behind him. "Why don't you come inside, you've been out on this dock for hours…what are you doing out here all by yourself?"
"Thinking." Was his simple answer.
"About what?" Seiji walked forward and sat down on a wooden support post for the deck.
"The war." He shook his head and looked out across the crystal waters. "Something's not right…I can feel it."
"It's just been stressful Touma." Seiji said turning to look out to the crystal clear lake water. "We are all still a bit weak , sore, and burnt out."
"Something is coming." He said looking up to the darkening sky as the stars started to make their first appearance.
"Like what?" Seiji asked standing again looking up.
"Not sure…but I can feel it…" he touched his chest. "Like I feel my armor when it's not on, I feel it."
Seiji shook his head "I think you need to get some sleep."
"No this isn't anything like that." He waved a careless hand. "I'm not sure what to think about it all. Ryo still has nightmares, and Shin is restless."
"Shuu doesn't seem effected nor I." Seiji said.
"But you are." Touma corrected. "Shuu's tempers been a bit …edgy at times and you don't let things go as easily as you once did."
"Kinda hard when you're trapped in a dark cave, at least you had a good view." Seiji smiled and turned again. "Come on back to the house."
"I will in a bit, I need to speak with my stars." Touma sighed and stepped back.
"I'll be waiting back at the house for you when you want to talk some more." Seiji stood and turned. He wanted to say more, but he continued back to the mansion slowly.
Touma remained on the dock. He knelt down to his knees and closed his eyes. "Tell me my beautiful stars….what is it that I am missing?" He would be there most of the night praying to the sky.
