The extra on top of the usual hustling we do.

[ for the general record, yuri still has the bandage on his arm and it's still bleeding. it's totally fine. ]

Do you mind me asking a bit about what you're looking for?

[ yeah, his chest is just. soaked in blood. he's not even bothering to bandage it because there's really no point! haha, also pretending it doesn't even exist. ]

Windows. That's pretty much it.

[senjinrouha]

[ i'm glad they're just bleeding everywhere. good for them. ]

But... let me guess, only you can see them?

[sponsoredby]

[ they deserve it, honestly. ]

I don't know about that, but I'm the only one that can close them.

[senjinrouha]

... Well, if you don't mind me being here, I can be an extra pair of eyes to test the theory.

[ he pauses in his walk with that, seeming to hesitate for a moment before continuing on. ]

Sure, have at it.

[senjinrouha]

[ he just raises an eyebrow at him. yes kotetsu? ]

[sponsoredby]

[ he just shakes his head at the look ]

[senjinrouha]

[ he gives the sky a look like he'd be quite happy if it smote him, but continues on regardless. ]

[ yeah. well. sorry, this tiger isn't exactly happy right now and he's not really going to hide it in present company. ]

[senjinrouha]

[ you do that, big tiger. yuri is just that ben affleck meme the whole time but he's not bringing it up until kotetsu does. ]

[ then they're probably just going to awkwardly walk like this like a couple of jackasses pretending not to acknowledge the garbage that's there. ]

[senjinrouha]

[ nice. let's see who cracks first. ]

[sponsoredby]

[ spoilers: they're both losers and neither of them probably will. ]

[senjinrouha]

[ good. ]

Are you coping with the change with the leg? ... Not that I don't think you've tried to get something sorted for it, but they can't give you a replacement one for the moment?

It's not like I have much choice. It's what I'm stuck with now.

[ to the other part, he gives a non-committal shrug. maybe he is, maybe he isn't. ]

[senjinrouha]

That’s why I’m asking, Kotetsu.

[ he’s going to get grey hairs ]

What do you want me to answer? Please tell me.

[senjinrouha]

[ tick tock tick tock ] m

Alright then, we can talk in circles or we can actually talk. One or the other, thanks.

[sponsoredby]

You're the one that started the conversation.

[ Yeah. He's... not being his normal self at all. ]

[senjinrouha]

I sure did. So are we going to sulk or actually talk about the elephant in the room?

[sponsoredby]

I'm pissed at what happened there. What else am I supposed to say?

[senjinrouha]

Talk it out? Because I’m tired of playing everyone’s babysitter, so I’d really rather clear the air out before we all choke on it.

I think what you and Xie Lian did to Sholmes was pretty shitty. Didn't realize I was bringing him in to be attacked by you guys. I thought he was there to help out, especially with Nero's stuff.

I guess I was an idiot to think that's how it'd work out. I'm also pretty mad about not having another option to tell someone. I didn't realize it was limited to two, but that's my fault for not asking. A little warning would have been nice beyond there being a limit.

[ That last part he knows he's to blame for not asking, but he was pretty overwhelmed with meeting everyone and trying to catch up in a race he was behind on. ]

So, I'm starting to wonder if I should regret having agreed to this whole thing if this was what was going to happen.

[senjinrouha]

I was making a point in general, because apparently despite everyone seeing what happened to the Watchers in Otamo, no one actually asked them about how many people we can actually tell. And that’s probably on me for assuming, but that’s why I made the point of asking if everyone was okay about meeting certain people and letting you take the time to decide, and why I reiterated the importance of not chasing people down and being careful about discussions outside of those who know when I did. If it wasn’t clear enough, then yeah. That is on me, and I’m sorry for taking that choice from you.

Despite it being my role to gather people together, I’m not actually your babysitters — if Xie Lian had a issue and wanted to address it, that was news to me and having things kick off like that wasn’t exactly something I expected from this either. Sholmes is smart, and knows a lot of things we don’t know and having him around isn’t a bad thing. I don’t mind reiterating that to him myself.

But if you’re mad about it, then I can say this much: he probably has a reason to be mad too.

[ which sort of leads into the point that frustrates him a bit— ]

I’m not going to judge this “us versus the world” mentality you seem to have given each other, but I am interested in knowing why, when we’re all at constant risk anyway no matter what we do.
