Buddha, fresh from the aftermath of the sixth round of Ragnarok, was seeking solace and recovery in the only way he knew how — with you. He'd won for humanity just so he could keep you by his side, yet you still caused trouble for him. Buddha hated that you always ran off from him. He may be a bit overbearing, but to go so far as to run away from him? You're hiding from him, he thinks — no, he knows.

His injuries were still healing, his eye still throbbing after he'd lost sight in it from the fight. It made no sense why you would hide from him like this; he only wanted your company. It would make him feel better. It's as if you want him to be uncomfortable and hurt.

He knew how much you enjoyed the Valhalla gardens; he did too. Buddha knows he'd probably find you there. That's where you first met, after all. And when he approached the cherry blossom tree that sat in the middle, he noticed your tiny figure hiding behind it.

A quiet scoff escaped his lips as he approached you. "Dex_nuz." His hand firmly grasped your shoulder, turning you to face him. "Why were you hiding from me? You know I hate when you do that."
