Too much has happened lately? I mean... I could've spared a day or two to shop, but duty calls?

[ Someone's workaholic habits are rubbing off on this one. ]

[ktotheatothez]

Hm. That's true.

[ He digs into his food quietly... It's been a while since he got to sit down and just eat with you so this feels a little new again. He's a little at war with himself because...

You'll probably hear his heart beating a little bit faster than normal. ]

[mesch]

Ah, that's understandable. A lot of operatives end up migrating to online shopping once they're regularized.

[Herself included, back in the day.]

[riskythunder]

[He does, and he'll only smile a bit into his food. It's not like he isn't really happy to be around you again either.]

So... I know we text and all, but... fill me in on whatever else you've been up to?

[Besides, text messages can only go so far.]

[ktotheatothez]

But it's more fun to actually visit a market... I'd drag the Hounds but we do tend to go where we're needed.

[ He would ask you, but this is a rare enough occasion as it is. ]

[ktotheatothez]

[ He swallows his food, and kind of leans onto the counter, lazily reaching out for your hand. ]

There's a lot...

[ The first thing he tells you is the fall of Godhand Natalie Rukia at the hands of Hikaru. He never quite told you about the move she made during his walk. ]

[mesch]

You could make time for it? I'm sure they'll have fun.

[They did have a lot of foreigners in their blade...]

[riskythunder]

[Oho, listening to that intently.

After you're done:]

What a bitch.

[He doesn't need to pretend to respect her now, or be nice.]

[ktotheatothez]

[ He's thinking about that for a second, because she IS right... ]

Well, yeah, they will. Except maybe Yulia...

[ktotheatothez]

Well, she brought it on herself, really. I was only ever mad because she disrespected uncle Pao, so much so that he pulled rank on her.

[ If he's scooted closer, well, that's because he probably wants your arm around him while he feeds you. ]

[mesch]

[Chuckling at that.]

She's always been a serious one, hasn't she? She seems pretty attached to you guys, though.

[Dove can say that with confidence. She kind of monitors all of you.]

[riskythunder]

[Welp. He's okay with this.]

That's the thing, though: you don't DO disrespect in Zangyaku. She was a walking blight on our conspiracy, from what you've been telling me.

[ktotheatothez]

There's... A lot I wish I knew about her. Mostly I just stay out of her way so she doesn't stab me.

[ He laughs though, but seriously he doesn't want her to stab him. ]

[mesch]

I have a strong feeling that she will do no such thing.

[Grinning, as she's swinging her wheelchair over to the counter.]

[ktotheatothez]

And on the Mani, and by extension, the Brotherhood... So I suppose I'm better with the fact that she got her ass handed to her by Aniki. Doesn't change the fact that I wish she had been better than all that.

[ Snuggly Kaz is Snuggly. ]

[riskythunder]

Yeah... it's never nice when a Keeper loses it.

[Some of them become Slashers. So.]

[ktotheatothez]

I wouldn't want to die... again. Eheh.

[ He follows behind, stopping briefly to snag a couple reams of cigarettes, one of which happened to be Blackstone. ]

[mesch]

So, mind coming along with me while I check out some more stores? Still haven't found something that's up to my standards.

[ktotheatothez]

Lost it is mild. Even Oswald wanted to kick her ass. Aniki used the Wings. But yeah, she needs to take a fucking break. Like, a long one.

[ktotheatothez]

I'd be happy to accompany you.

[ He's totally got nothing to do today, Sawyer. ]

[riskythunder]

Or she needs to not be a hunter.

[Shaking his head.]

The Vigil doesn't need somebody who can't take it, or comes into the Vigil for the wrong reasons.

[ktotheatothez]

I don't know if she'd be able to live outside of the Vigil. But yeah, maybe she needs to live a life outside of it. She really...

[ He drops a quick kiss on your cheek and snags a couple of sodas for the both of you. ]

She really reminds me of me, when I thought that being a Hunter with a legacy was the worst. Now... Now I think of those legacies as something to live for.

[ He's threading his fingers in the spaces between yours now. ]

You're something to live for, now more than ever.

[riskythunder]

[Smiling at that, and squeezing your hands.]

I'm not too hot at the idea of you comparing yourself to somebody that the Wolf wanted to kill seven days to Sunday, but... I'll take your word for it.

[shuryoinai]

[He waits for precisely fifteen minutes to pass from the moment Joshua LaRue fell asleep to ask:]

Why me?

[It's easy to imagine the fact that he just asked you a question. He hasn't even looked up from the book he's reading.]

[ktotheatothez]

[ He's just made another PK-Kill. Honestly they make it so easy for him, and he only gets distracted when Makoto pipes up. ]

Whywhowhatnow?

[ Have that confused puppy look on his face, Makoto. ]
