Round two!

[blueondeck]

[Going to the cabin to locate Chiaki now that the first awkward talk is out of the way]

Comments

[blueondeck]

You really think he jut came in and told me everything? If he couldn't tell you in an understandable way, how can he to anyone else?

[woodfortono]

Oh. Well, that's just him sucking at talking, not him not wanting to tell you stuff.

[grins a little, nudging you with a foot]

I like that he's comfortable with you, okay?

[blueondeck]

It wasn't talking so much as it was "You can't deny Chiaki hasn't done that to you too"

[woodfortono]

[fjksghskjsdhf

dropping his eyes and flushing again]

[blueondeck]

You'll both figure it out. You still have five months until the vacation day you've earned.

[taking a few steps away]

[woodfortono]

Yeah, I guess. Just--y'know. I want it to work whether we get vacation time or not.

...thanks, though. For all that stuff. [wiggles his elbow a little, still wrapped in the sling] Even the embarrassing bits.

[blueondeck]

It's working. It's not going to start out perfect and be perfect.

[looking you over] Besides, there's nothing really embarrassing about any of this. I've seen you beat up worse, naked, dealt with you all over me for your own and for camp reasons, while Takeru is a person I can get along with and understand in .. what seems now nearly all areas. There's nothing embarrassing about any of it.

[woodfortono]

Hey! [nudges at you, laughing] Don't say I was all over you like it was some sort of huge problem! You were all over me too--you started it!

[blueondeck]

I guess I did.

[woodfortono]

'You guess,' huh.

[but his face is softening, and he looks a lot more relaxed than he did when you came in here]

[blueondeck]

That's better. Since you look better now, I'll leave.

[woodfortono]

All right. I'll see you around.

[blueondeck]

Maybe.

[Now if you'll excuse me, I have a monkey carrying a gun to go see]

[woodfortono]

[the hell do you mean 'maybe'

also what]

[blueondeck]

[Maybe!

And yes. Did you expect me to have something else to do? I did all my training for today already]

[woodfortono]

[don't you 'maybe' me it's not like i'll never see you again you dick

i thought you never stopped training]

[blueondeck]

[Sometimes that happens though

Thar was when I had things like fighting, running from an empire, and finding powers to do between it.]
