[Unfortunately, Horikawa's experience over the past week hasn't been entirely different from his brother's, and the thought of the quiet atmosphere that the citadel must have had during those few days between the matches and the revivals is enough for Horikawa to feel even more compelled to ensure that everybody is doing alright. Though, for the time being, he has been focusing somewhat on ensuring that he's up to standard as well, and paying particular attention to the more simple chores that he's taken upon himself in the meantime. The post-revival queasiness and weakness of constitution, paired with the existing effects that the fog has on him as a Fourth follower is, to say the least, not something that he had hoped to experience again.
As Yamanbagiri may have expected, Horikawa is doing just that when he arrives; the wakizashi barely bats an eye at his brother's meek approach, focusing on sorting some of the food that he's prepared into the proper containers for the different members of the house to ensure that they each have their meals. (There are a lot, to be fair.) It's only after a moment that he raises his eyes, a bright and comforting smile offered up.]
Ah, of course! Is there something on your mind?
[Though his tone is amiable, there's an underlying understanding to it as well. After all, each of them knows of the circumstances that the others underwent, and Horikawa has personally committed each of the names inscribed on his comrades hands to memory, even if his own enemy may not be perceived as a particular threat to their household just yet from his perspective.]
