[ ...There's the ninja. Elec had been running and he slows as he approaches. He has a guitar slung over his back. It's the Light Guitar this time, it was the first one he grabbed before yanking himself up here. He picks his way closer. ]
Hey Kage.
[ He nods in greeting and then just... sits next to him, swinging the guitar to the front as he gets himself comfortable. ]
[ Kagerou stills, wings held ever so slightly closer to his frame, as Elecman approaches. He'd heard the footsteps, but perhaps... Perhaps he'd been hoping he'd be passed on by. The dead end ignored once more.
Optics brighten into full wakefulness, but he still doesn't move. Just watches Elecman, and his guitar, and feels emotional tiredness circuit-deep.
It takes some time for him to muster up the will to speak. ] ...I'm staying here. [ It's faint, though. Hardly an argument starter. ]
[ He settles himself and doesn't say anything for a moment or two. He lets his fingers move across the strings. The idle plucking making a haunting echo in these wide vents. ]
Guess I'm staying here a bit too.
[ He looks up at him. There are times for arguments and times for understanding. This is one of the latter times he thinks. ]
I never did get around to really playing you that birthday song did I?
[ He's played music before, songs in his room and elsewhere. ]
[ He tenses, just a little. Curling into himself a bit at Elecman's easy admittance. Staying. Just because Kagerou was there. Just because Kagerou was upset.
It helps, a little. Even if he doesn't really smile, not even at that offer. ]
...It's a bit too far past my birthday for that, I'd think.

You know your oil looks like it's gone a little cold.
[ It's a simple statement, but it's a question in a way, without being one that has too be answered. ]

It's alright. It doesn't matter.
