[THIS POINTED DUNK. He sort of makes a very defensive teenager face about it.]

I don't either. [He has to say it!! It always finds him.........] I don't know if any of these are gonna heal enough in the next almost three weeks.

[astika]

[mmhmm]

That's fine. As long as they don't physically hinder me, it doesn't matter.

[tearduct]

Probably not as good of a reason as you think it is. Someone might go after you thinking you'd be easy now. And if they did, it'd take us five hours to figure out how you died.

[astika]

If someone wanted me dead, I imagine you could come up with more reasons beyond me hypothetically being an easy target.

[someone could just target him because he's a dick,]

[tearduct]

[They'd have a difficult time picking between him, Ryo, and Scaramouche in that case is what he wants to say.]

You think that, but I don't trust this place not to screw around with us.

[astika]

In any case, for you, there's no point in worrying about something like that. Even if I wasn't injured, there are plenty of "easy" targets here.

Someone who intends to kill will, and you have no reason to wish for my death less than that of, say, Kuranosuke's. Or, if this place is manipulating things in the event that no one has any murderous intention, that'll also occur regardless of my state.

[tearduct]

I don't know, Kuranosuke stays drunk so much he'd probably accidentally kill anyone who came after him.

[Which seems like a very Britt thing to do and is very funny. He's not laughing, but it is.]

Do you ever just say thank you instead of trying to shoot holes in everything someone says to you?

[astika]

[i'm crying

but anyway he stares]

Why would I be thanking you?

[tearduct]

[Like it's obvious even though he knows Chandra is acting like it isn't obvious:]

Because I gave enough of a shit to come check on you after what happened today.

[astika]

[but what if he didn't want to be perceived akira!!]

And that's something you do to seek out gratitude from others?

[tearduct]

[he perceived it]

No, but some people can probably stand to say thanks or at least something besides picking apart every single thing I say to them.

[astika]

[as he gets to work re-bandaging himself—]

If it pains you so much to speak with me, need I remind you that you're the one who chose to approach me?

[tearduct]

You can't make your decision to not show anyone manners my fault. I'm here, but I don't have any control over that.

[He puts his hands in his pockets.]

My voice came out, so it doesn't seem like I'm half as annoying as you make it seem.

[astika]

[...]

You're reading a lot into things.

[tearduct]

Like what? That you actually give more of a damn about other people than you think you're able? That you think you should?

[astika]

That's quite an assumption to make. You really like meddling in others' affairs, don't you?

[tearduct]

[His brows furrow gently, but he doesn’t back down.]

It’s still all inside of you, isn’t it? Pain, and sadness, and loneliness? It’s inside of me, too.

[astika]

[this is the worst.]

Yes, you make that obvious every time you burst into tears.

[tearduct]

[suffer

This still doesn't seem to bother him, being called out for crybaby tendencies.]

It's not a sin to feel those things. They don't have to be hidden.

[astika]

You do realize not everyone needs to act the way you do.

[tearduct]

[Too late. Water starts bubbling up in both eyes the longer he stands here. Here it comes.]

I can say the same about you.

[astika]

[HOLD ON CONVERSATION IS BEING PUT ON PAUSE as is the bandaging]

... What are you doing?

[WHY ARE YOU TEARING UP]

[tearduct]

[He just starts crying. He's at least not sobbing or anything? (Yet.) The tears are pouring out.]

It's because you can't.

[astika]

[









HELP WHAT THE FUCK DOES HE DO WITH THIS]

[tearduct]

[Suffer by sitting there and watching him cry.]
