[ voice ] | 6/21

[rokubro]

[Eizen is going to feel a rather...almost meek nudge as Rokurou reaches out to him.]

...Hey.

[Yeeeep that's all he's starting with.]

[ voice ] | 6/21

[ For a long moment of silence, Eizen doesn't say anything in return. Maybe he was annoyed, or maybe he was just trying to pull himself together long enough to come off as okay. ]

...hey.

[rokubro]

[Don't give him the silent treatment, that would actually make him worry—]

So.........

[This is. So damn awkward. UGH HE HATES AWKWARD—gonna just suck it up and bowl through this.]

Just wanted to check in and see how you were doing and apologize.

[tailsneverfails]

You damn well should apologize. I haven't been able to have a proper drink throughout all of this.

[ Is that Eizen making light of this? Of course. ]

[rokubro]

[Ha ha ha...

.......]

Seriously, Eizen, how bad is it?

[tailsneverfails]

I'm fine... [ Despite saying that, Rokurou could probably feel Eizen holding back on something. ]

Don't worry about it.

[rokubro]

[Yeah no.]

Come on, Eizen, you can't fool me. I know how much I dumped on you.

[tailsneverfails]

I don't need to fit my coat with any new holes.

[ Get it... because he doesn't have wings yet.... haha. he's so funny. ]

[rokubro]

Eizen.

[tailsneverfails]

What?

[rokubro]

[For a moment, for a very real moment, there's a bit of heat in the connection as Rokurou's frustration rises to an abnormal height. But then he sighs, taking a moment before it cools.]

Whatever, guess if you're still alive and not breathing fire then that's fine.

[For now. He better be glad the daemon is keeping his distance to not force the answer out of him. (But then again, should he really be caring so much to begin with? Stupid emotions.)]

[tailsneverfails]

I'm still me if that's what you're worried about...

[ he sighs softly. ]

I chose to follow you and I chose to continue pursuing you no matter how many warnings were thrown my way. You don't need to apologize or hold this over your own head.

[rokubro]

Yeah well... I may not need to, but I'm choosing to give it, anyway. [See what he did there.] I should have been able to keep it back.

[tailsneverfails]

Sometimes these things are out of our hangs. You just have to keep moving forward and dont let it set you back.

[rokubro]

Easier to do when you don't have something that's trying hard to make you do the exact opposite.

[Another aggravated sigh, but it's less than before.]

Have you heard anything? How are things back in town?

[tailsneverfails]

From what I can tell, things are... not as noisy..?

[rokubro]

What do you mean? Like the fog is less?

[tailsneverfails]

Sort of...? And some people seem to be snapping back to normal.

[rokubro]

That's good... Probably having their friends helping.

[He sighs.]

Still a pain in the ass. No word on that Gem thing I bet.

[tailsneverfails]

[ He honestly hasn't been focusing much on everyone else. His stubborn eyes had been set on Rokurou and Serah this whole time, but he hasn't been the luckiest. ]

Something like that, yeah.

[rokubro]

[Probably for the best.]

T'ch, figures. Guess I'll have to find her myself.

[tailsneverfails]

In your condition?

[rokubro]

I'm fine.

[YOUR TURN.]

[tailsneverfails]

If you're not dumb enough to believe that, you damn well better believe I'm not dumb enough to believe that.

[rokubro]

[Fine.]

It's enough to get me through a fight. Besides, you know how I am. It picked the wrong daemon to mess with.
