[ Eizen lets out a huff and with that he goes back to leaning his weight against Rokurou. It seemed like the rain wasn't really following them now which was probably a good sign, or a sign that Eizen was too drunk too feel things anymore... it's probably not that last guess. ]

You're better off ditching me... somewhere no one else is. Like an empty alley, or off the cliff side.

[rokubro]

You make it sound like I'm going to murder you and dump your body somewhere.

[He'll wait a moment before he tries to make him walk again.]

[tailsneverfails]

You'd be rid of a huge burden off your shoulders. No more curse.

[ He lets out another huff, but it seems like he was a little more willing to walk along with. ]

[rokubro]

This is true. Maybe I should cute you up into a few pieces, scatter you around. Give the detectives of this place something to play with.

Not like they'd be able to see all of it, anyway.

[Rokurou. Why.]

[tailsneverfails]

[ That... is honestly the first time in these past couple days that Eizen wanted to laugh. ]

Shut the hell up you brat... even if you tried you'd be cursed for a thousand more years.

[rokubro]

I'm a daemon. Think a dumb malak's curse is going to stop me?

[tailsneverfails]

We'll see how cocky you are when the curse lands you flat on your ass and you no longer can wield swords.

[rokubro]

Don't underestimate my passion for swords. My will will be a lot stronger than that.

[tailsneverfails]

[ That gets another laugh out of Eizen as he leans more of his weight against him as they walk. At the very least, he isn't trying to fight Rokurou anymore, even if he didn't feel like he should be coming back. He didn't know that Shigure went to talk to Rokurou about anything, and honestly he didn't mean to talk to him about anything either. Everything was just.... stupid. ]

Yeah yeah... it always has been.

[rokubro]

Damn straight.

[A very Rokurou-like answer. But then he's silent for a moment as he spares a glance over at Eizen before looking back forward. He's not sure if he should say anything right now or if he should wait when Eizen wasn't drunk. He wants to apologize, but...would it really mean anything if he's not completely sober? Did he drink so much that he might forget? Shigure might think him stupid to worry about these kinds of things, but in all fairness it is something to consider for this kind of context. Would suck to have heartfelt apologies and then he doesn't remember it.]

So you're not going to pass out on me, right? Or do you need to throw up—because if you do, the gutter is on your other side.

[tailsneverfails]

The rain kept me sober enough....

[ That didn't mean he was able to walk very well. In fact if Rokurou wasn't supporting him so well right now, he absolutely would have fallen over with his face right in the dirt. He wouldn't throw up on the man though, at least not unless Rokurou starts running off while dragging him or something. ]

[rokubro]

Should I call a cab? Would make this go faster.

[On the other hand maybe a horse-drawn carriage ride through cobbled streets might not be the smoothest journey...]

[tailsneverfails]

Arms getting tired already, huh? You still have the chance to ditch me. I doubt I could really chase after you right now...

[ He was trying to make light of it. He's had to take Rokurou home plenty of times and Rokurou probably doing the same for him a few himself. It just... felt different with all these words left unsaid. So what else could he do but just make light of it. ]

[rokubro]

Yeah, it's like lugging around a giant boulder.

[It's not too difficult for Rokurou to stay in step of Eizen's own attempts to make lighthearted jokes.]

If I get tired I'll just throw you in the back of a wagon, and then drive it through the bumpiest roads.

[tailsneverfails]

I hope the wheel breaks and we both get sent flying off somewhere.

[ He snorts softly and slowly falls into silence as he walks along with Rokurou. If it wasn't for him moving, Rokurou might have thought he actually fell asleep until he spoke up again. ]

The bridge... is still there, right..?

[rokubro]

[Rokurou only glances at him before he kind of shoves him a little.]

C'mon, man. There's not even a crack.

[tailsneverfails]

[ His whole body just seemed to relax after hearing that from him. That had been one of the big worries on his mind ever since this stupidness started. And maybe even thinking that was stupid as well, but... Rokurou's done a lot of growing in this world and a lot of changing that maybe he didn't even realize himself. It wouldn't be impossible for Rokurou to outgrow the company of an idiot pirate. ]

I'm... glad.

[ Oddly enough he seemed to be more willing to be honest with his feelings when he couldn't think clearly. ]

[rokubro]

[Eizen, you really are stupid if you think Rokurou would cut ties with him from just one stupid argument. You're not his brother.]

Quit it, your sap is starting to creep me out.

[Just another friendly shove, but there's a light laugh to go with it.]

Keep this up and I'll have some great stories to tell you when you wake up.

[tailsneverfails]

[ He lets out another huff and drunkenly tries to shove him back with a lot less success. He couldn't help it. The sappiness just kept slipping out of his mouth. ]

You're awful at telling stories. You don't know how to make them exciting...

[rokubro]

[He takes the drunken shove in stride.]

Oh yeah? Name one.

[tailsneverfails]

Like the one time... when you were telling us how you met Velvet. You coulda added more pizzazz to it.

[ A prison break? Pssssh More like a... dull break.

Look, he's drunk, you can't expect him to think more elegantly than this. ]

[rokubro]

Okay then, how would you have told it?

[tailsneverfails]

With a lot more explosions. And tunnels. Your story didn't even have a single tunnel in it, Rokurou...

[rokubro]

Why would I include tunnels? That would be your thing.

[Yes he remembers Eizen and his tunnels.]

[tailsneverfails]

Because everyone knows that tunnels are the perfect thing for all stories. Especially when they're hidden. They can lead anywhere and adds an air of mystery to them... have I taught you nothing?

[ He huffs loudly and drunkenly shoves at Rokurou once more. ]

I should build one... then you'll see the beauty of them.
