[ He might need another minute, so hopefully he doesn't mind if Eizen doesn't speak up quite so soon as he tries to catch his breath. Who knew a Malak could puke just like a normal person... ]

Don't... it's my fault, remember...?

[rokubro]

[Puke or no, he's standing by his buddy. Well, figuratively since he's squatting, but same deal.

Just a small sigh as Eizen insists on taking all the blame.]

Nope, not letting you win this one. You were an asshole, but I was a lousy friend.

[tailsneverfails]

Just because I let my emotions get the better of me, that doesn't make you a lousy friend.

[ he clicks his tongue a little, one hand propping him up and digging into the ground for extra security. ]

[rokubro]

You're right—it's my actions that matter. [And then he reaches out to lightly thwap Eizen on the forehead.] Regardless of what you felt I still should have listened to you fully. I even knew you didn't mean what you said and that it was just an misunderstanding, but I got riled up for my own reasons, anyway.

Face it, we were both assholes.

[tailsneverfails]

[ He huffs a little at the thwap, but he doesn't have the energy to actually fight back. ]

That I can actually agree on... we're both complete assholes.

[rokubro]

You're a pirate, I'm a daemon—kind of a given.

[But there's a light grin before he reaches out to clap Eizen on the shoulder and stands.]

All right, now c'mon, we're not too far now. Unless you need to ride in Stormhowl for the rest of the way.

[tailsneverfails]

[ Clicking his tongue, he weakly swipes at him. ]

I don't need to ride in stormhowl... I'm not that weak...!

[ Just ignore the fact that he's slooowly standing up. ]

[rokubro]

...Uh huh, uh huh, sure, sure.

[Sounds so convinced (he's not). But he'll watch and just be ready to catch him in case he sways too much.]

[tailsneverfails]

[ Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay...... okay. He's fine now. He's up. He's just.... fine.

He slowly moves to put his arm around Rokurou again so he didn't fall over. ]

I'm fine...

[rokubro]

So he says while still reaching out for support.

[tailsneverfails]

Oooi! I'm keeping you up. That's all.

[rokubro]

I'm not the one who's so drunk he's puking everywhere and can barely walk straight.

[tailsneverfails]

I said I was fine and that mean I'm fine.

[ He huffs loudly, even if he realized that Rokurou was completely right. He didn't want to admit it though. ]

[rokubro]

[That's Eizen for you, but Rokurou just laughs.]

Sure old man. Let's just get you back to your room.

[tailsneverfails]

You mean it's still my room? You didn't send me to sleep on the deck?

[rokubro]

I thought about it, but I think you've punished yourself enough.

[tailsneverfails]

I did no such thing...

[ Okay he might have, but it's embarrassing to realize how right he was about it all. ]

[rokubro]

Let me guess. Set yourself up in isolation, drank most of the day and night, probably haven't had a bath in days.

[tailsneverfails]

Technically the rain counts as a bath...

[ But he can't really... deny everything else he said. ]

[rokubro]

[He was joking, but hearing that it might actually true? ...Eizen, man.]

You know, you never really struck me as the type to actually be affected by this kind of stuff. What happened to that whole "the wheel is my own" or whatever?

[tailsneverfails]

Just because I steer my wheel the way I want to, it doesn't mean my own actions don't affect me inside. I'm not heartless.

[rokubro]

Even for a pirate, huh.

[Just something like a wry grin before it fades a little.]

C'mon, you don't have to be that dramatic about it. Just figure it out, apologize, and move on.

[tailsneverfails]

I'll apologize to Serah... when I'm more together. And I'll make her understand I was an idiot...

[rokubro]

You know she won't ever think that, right?

[tailsneverfails]

What, that I'm an idiot?
