[Kaiba does go looking, as after finding some dry-enough wood and an ill-advised tree battle that he's happy no one actually saw him not win (it was a strategic withdrawal), he still had time to wait around long enough to get--not quite "worried," but perhaps "concerned," given his group's wildlife encounters the previous day. So he keeps quiet as he stalks through the forest, axe in hand, listening for breathing or footsteps or Something Worse. It's kind of anti-climactic when he finally comes across the waterfall and Yusuke looks all in one piece]

--What happened?

[wantsnudes]

[Yusuke looks around for a brief moment, and smiles when he spots Kaiba, oblivious to any concern he may have caused.]

Ah, so you've arrived. Would you care to join me? I have been admiring the sight of this waterfall, suspended in time by winter's icy grasp.

[Translation: this thing is pretty and he likes it.]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

.........You've been here the whole time, just...sitting.

[Kaiba is not really sure what expression he's wearing, definitely incredulous and a little red-faced and hopefully not too relieved but either way he's pretty sure it's gonna get real angry real soon]

[wantsnudes]

Actually, I've also been standing, and climbing. I attempted to scale along the rocks for a better view, but without the appropriate gear, it proved too dangerous.

[...Mostly just sitting, though, yeah.]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

...

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[Just. Bites his tongue and whirls to stalk off.]

[wantsnudes]

Kaiba-san?

[WHERE IS HE GOING, did he see something else interesting? Yusuke jumps to his feet to hurry after him, and...

Promptly turns right back around to scoop up the logs he'd forgotten. Oops.]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[Kaiba's not really sure where he's going, because he's too busy working on not yelling or punching a tree. Even though he's really good at yelling! (As an aside, trees can suck it.) But he is trying! To interact with people like a normal human being! Even though he's really not sure why anymore, the whole point of being rich is that you can pay your way out of human interactions.

[That said, he stops himself mid-flounce because angry or not, walking aimlessly through snowy woods is probably a Bad Idea. If only any of this looked any different than any other part of this. PS: Trees suck.]

[wantsnudes]

[Yusuke's doing his best to keep up, even with an armful of logs. It's only when they stop that it occurs to Yusuke that Kaiba might not actually have a destination in mind.]

Kaiba-san... What's wrong? We should really head back to the sled.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

That's where I'd thought we were going to meet, and yet here we are.

[and yet catty remarks don't make the clump of trees or fall of snow any more or less familiar than anyplace else he'd tramped through searching for dryish wood and then Yusuke.]

You're the one who likes looking at stuff so much; what way do you think we should be going?

[wantsnudes]

[And you're the one who stormed off in a random direction... Mostly Yusuke's just confused, though, so he doesn't have any catty remarks of his own.]

Why don't we retrace our steps back to the waterfall? Then we can follow our tracks in the snow back to the sled.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

...Fine.

[he turns around, stalking more slowly back to the waterfall, trying to lose neither the trail nor his companion. the sun is still fairly high in the sky, but the trees are also fairly high, so there's definitely been a change in the light since they first left on this excursion.

[still, it's easy enough to come up on the waterfall; they hadn't gotten too far from it in the first place, plus it's large and impressive enough to spot from a distance. once they're back to what even kaiba must grudgingly admit is a pretty cool waterfall, the trail mingles with a couple others, human and otherwise. kaiba pauses and turns to yusuke; apparently he's finished actively sulking]

...This one is probably the path I took here, so whatever the next freshest tracks are should be yours. Mine was not particularly direct; I don't know if yours is any better.

[wantsnudes]

Mine were not direct, either, but most of my stops before here were to collect wood. [Thankfully.] Let's try following my trail, shall we?

[The logs are starting to get a little heavy with all this chasing Kaiba around and backtracking, so he sets off straightaway. He begins to retrace his steps, which go on a slight detour before stopping at a (sadly mutiltated) tree. From there, it's more or less a meandering path from where he'd stopped to pick up fallen logs here and there.]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[Kaiba follows without complaint. After not too long he reaches over to take some of the more unwieldy logs, since using his words like a normal person would make too much sense]

[wantsnudes]

[Yusuke's surprised to feel some of the weight from his arms is lifted, and he blinks at Kaiba.]

--Ah! Thank you, Kaiba-san. You're very kind.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

I'm not, but if you collapse or drop everything you've gathered, I will be unhappy. Besides, it's cold enough that even the thought of powdered chocolate-flavored milk substitute is sounding appealing, meaning it's time to get going.

[wantsnudes]

[Oh... Yusuke suddenly looks pleased about something.]

I believe I understand now. You are a "tsundere", meaning you behave outwardly cold while hiding your true feelings. It is not the first time I have encountered someone who displayed similar behaviour.

[Nods to himself!!! He's a genius.]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

...That is the most preposterous thing I have ever heard, and Dave Strider just tried to convince me of the organizational skills of the Insane Clown Posse.

[wantsnudes]

Yes, it's only fitting of such a personality that you'd deny it... [SMUG.] But what is this about clowns?

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

It's fitting of reality that I'd deny it, I have no need to lie to you.

[he dumps the wood with the rest on the sled, offended by the very thought of someone thinking he had any "deres," much less with tsuns attached]

The clown nonsense is equally ridiculous. He claimed they have priests as part of their little horrorcore rap unit. Note that they are baffled by the workings of a magnet, just to let you know the intelligence level we're working at.

[wantsnudes]

[It's too late, Yusuke is already convinced Kaiba is Nice People, no matter how much he tries to grump his way out of it. Yusuke deposits his own logs onto the pile with a sigh of relief for his poor noodle arms.]

Frankly, I'm not sure I understand a word Dave says at the best of times... What's "horrorcore"?

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Most of what he says is ridiculous, so you aren't missing much. As for horrorcore, it's a sub-genre of rap music with "spooky" beats with topics that tend to overlap with slasher movie tropes. At its best it's still bad. Don't ask why I know this.

[since everything seems to be gathered, he takes the sled and starts walking it down to the cabin. home stretch!]

[wantsnudes]

I see! So two art forms, film and music, are blended together as one. That is truly fascinating... Perhaps I should ask Dave about it later.

[Yusuke follows, somehow managing to avoid getting distracted, this time around.]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

You do that. He'll probably get a kick out of it.

[no one's getting lost this time! NO MAN LEFT BEHIND let's just dump this and be warm for once]

[wantsnudes]

As would I. I am always looking for ways to expand my creative horizons.

[Not that he knows a lot about either horror movies or rap, but??? Once they finally arrive back at the cabin, Yusuke helps carry the second batch of logs inside. After topping up the fire a little and making sure it's still burning brightly, he flops down to sit on the couch, exhausted.]

Ahh... I have never been so appreciative of heat until this moment.
