Don't make any stupid decisions. [she tells him, jostling him again.] I fucking mean it, Akira. If I find out you try to make some deal with Satan and it involves any sort of self-sacrifice I'm going to find you Thursday night.
[well, she appreciates that. she's just going to have to trust him. nyeh.
she lets him down, though, and reaches to do something that she very obviously learned from one of the dad figures around here, which is to wipe his leftover tears away from one eye with her thumb and then honk his nose briefly.]
I've got to tell Harrow I'm staying with you, but I'm following through on that.

Maybe we can convince Satan it won't be a party without more than twenty people...
[This is like "heh heh" but the laughter doesn't reach his voice.]
no subject

We'll figure it out... I'll see when I text him.

I don't know what he'll say. He might tell me nothing works except what we get. [This is not a promise, though, so:] I won't make any stupid deals.
[He is grateful for the carry. He will get down to help get into the room too once they are there.]

THIS DAD BEHAVIOR. He looks a bit surprised, then flustered in the way of a teenager being dadded. He pushes at her arm for the nose honk.]
I should probably shower off, so you can do that while I am if you want. [Thoughtful pause.] If you need to stay with her, I don’t mind. I get it.
[Because of her and Ryo’s whole thing.]
I’d be okay.
no subject
she grins a little at him at the first part, and then, for the second:]
Go shower. I'll be back. [she just won't acknowledge that. he gets it, but she said she'd stay, and so she's staying.]
no subject
His smile is weak and doesn’t exactly reach his eyes, but it’s there.]
Okay. I’ll be here. […] Thanks, Gideon.
