[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?

[rokubro]

Yeah. Not seriously, anyway. She'll just forgive you right away and probably want to give you a hug.

[tailsneverfails]

You should tell her not to do that. I don't want to make her cry anymore, and she definitely will if she sticks around me...

[rokubro]

Giving up already, huh? I thought you were better than that.

[tailsneverfails]

It's for her own happiness. I don't see what's wrong with that.

[rokubro]

Yeah and what about yours?

[A not so subtle nudge.]

And did you ever consider she would be unhappy about your decision? One you're making all on your own without even talking to her about it?

[HINT HINT HINT.]

[tailsneverfails]

She's dating you. Isn't that all the happiness she needs?

[rokubro]

[HE'S GIVING YOU SUCH A LOOK RIGHT NOW, EIZEN.]

Not sure if you're serious or it's the alcohol.

[tailsneverfails]

I'm bein' serious! Who the hell is dumb enough to keep around a dumb pirate that makes them cry all the time?

[rokubro]

It was just the one time.

[tailsneverfails]

I made her cry the one time I trapped her in an alley. [ Well, it was more like she was scared out of her mind but... ]

[rokubro]

...Okay you were pretty intense from the sound of it, but you're not the only one who has scared, hurt, or made her cry you know.

[Just said matter of factly.]

[tailsneverfails]

That's exactly my point. She's too trusting of assholes and she shouldn't have to deal with us.

[rokubro]

I won't disagree with that. But that's what she chose, anyway.

Isn't it our job to respect that choice?

[tailsneverfails]

And when I make her cry again?

[rokubro]

I'll comfort her, maybe smack you a little depending on what you did, you apologize, and we continue on.

Saying it out loud, I might actually benefit from this.

[He's joking. Mostly. Okay yes joking, he doesn't want Serah upset.]

[tailsneverfails]

You're such an asshole.

[ He laughs and tries shoving at Rokurou again. ]

[rokubro]

So are you.

[Takes the shove and returns it. But then after a chuckle he looks at Eizen a little more seriously.]

But I mean it. Don't avoid her, Eizen, or anyone else, either. You mentioned Eleanor, right? She's probably wondering since you did kind of bail out that night.

Just talk to them. You can't just hide under a rock forever.

[tailsneverfails]

It's not... like I wanted to bail that night... it's just... everything I said just kept pissing her off more... I was even trying to pull back a little, but it just... kept making her angry. I know the fog made people act odd but... it only made you more paranoid than usual... what if that's how she really felt about me? I'd rather not continue making either of them deal with a pain that only makes them suffer...

[rokubro]

[Rokurou is just going to look at Eizen for a moment.

And then smack him over the head.]
