Re-emerging (open RP)
After the disaster in Hogsmeade and the meeting with his God, Mikami had barely left his room for over a fortnight. The house elves had agreed to bring his food there (although some of them were still unhappy with him for lasering parts of the Great Hall), and he'd taken some books from the library on his way back from Slytherin. Most of them were first-year level spell books, but there were a couple of extremely thick volumes on wizarding law. Those also made good makeshift weights. He still hadn't found a gym anywhere.
He had to keep working, keep learning. There had to be something he could do for Kira, even here, even now. Something to atone for his failure, to make things right again. He'd been letting things slide, and this was the result, but it wasn't too late. The end hadn't come yet. It had for Near, but not for Light Yagami, and God was the only one who mattered. Surely that future could be changed.
(If not, then he'd destroyed everything. He couldn't afford to let himself think of that.)
But there was a downside to constant studying. He'd run out of books a lot sooner than expected. So now, a slightly pale, withdrawn Mikami was in the library, counting the number of pages in the textbooks and occasionally weighing two against each other.
Feel free to talk to him. He needs the distraction, poor thing.

While talking to Mikami, he tried that silent spell again. This time, any fire setting would be deliberate.

He heard a faint crackling sound, glanced down, and then leapt away from the bookshelves with a startled cry. The bottom of his coat was smouldering. He grabbed his wand - what was that water spell again? "Aqua - no - Aguamenti!"
He might have been a bit too enthusiastic. The stream of water from his wand was more like an explosion. At least he'd extinguished himself.

He raised his wand, and somehow his hand wasn't shaking even though everything inside him was, shaking and twisting with fury and humiliation. "Liar."

Speaking of, Ryuk passes them, reading a book on ghosts, eating an apple. But lets ignore him.
"You can't just accuse the first person you see. And before you mouth off about my taking your wand, you pointed it at me first."

And, he doesn't add, would everyone stop telling me to calm down?
no subject
He leaned in close so only Mikami could hear. "Be thankful I only punched you. Mello would kill you if the no-kill rule wasn't in place."

The 'irrational fear' comment troubled him, but asking for an explanation would be backing down as well.

"If you promise that you won't attack me, I will give you back your wand."
no subject
A pause. "I won't attack you unless you force me to defend myself. I'm not planning gratuitous violence." Slamming Matt into the wall had been a moment of weakness that he still couldn't fully explain to himself.

Soichiro handed back his wand. He picked up his book and acted for all the world that nothing happened.
"And I do apologize for that second time." Not for the first. He had Light's non-Kiraness to think of.
no subject
He replaced the wand in his pocket and turned back to the bookshelves without a word, also acting as if nothing had happened.
no subject
Now he's got to go retch. Apparently using silent spells makes the letters and numbers move so much that he gets queasy.
