how do we always end up separated when things go bad?

[deontology]

you should pay attention to where you are going

[though this time it's probably because they picked different choices

oops???]

[sunshrouded]

you picked the robot didn't you

[where's your libido, sousei]

15 minutes later;

[deontology]

[Okay so he had to save some people, but after--]

why would i do that

robots have tried to kill us before

7 minutes later

[sunshrouded]

you picked the guy?

was he more graceful than the girl?

i thought he'd be kinda cold

[sunshrouded]

also i met the first head of my clan???????

[deontology]

he was distracted. [sousei wasn't, but that guy sure was.]

Kumou Kagemitsu, you mean? I met him too.

[isn't it...weird........]

[sunshrouded]

he's really snooty and uncooperative! i didn't recognize him at first.

[wonder where that family trait went]

[deontology]

he was more cooperative than you.

[...]

I didn't find him problematic at all.

[sunshrouded]

well he had gerokichi! I thought he might've been a thief!

and I'm always cooperative!

[deontology]

ah, that's the trend i was thinking of.

he also accused me of stealing my family's sword. it would appear kumou are fond of accusing innocent people of theft

[sunshrouded]

you just don't look like the type of guy to inherit a sword, apparently

[deontology]

you were jealous

[...]

he saw it recently in the hands of another [Which would be...Sousei's ancestor, or thereabouts. Weird.]

[sunshrouded]

i eventually got my family heirlooms! a ton of them!

[seriously do the kumous just hoard everything from previous generations]

is your ancestor here too?

[because as far as tenka knows right now, hirari just has.... amnesia....]

[deontology]

[ok tenka whatever makes you happy. But honestly--]

possibly. [That's hella vague, but...he's not entirely sure.]

i thought he was a police officer, but apparently his name is Abe no Hirari

[sunshrouded]

HIRARI'S YOUR ANCESTOR?????

NO HE'S SUPPOSED TO KILL ME

[sunshrouded]

that sounds worse than i meant

[deontology]

[.....what.]

what

[deontology]

[no seriously, what? Supposed to kill him? are you cheating on his death pact with another Abe???]

what are you talking about

[sunshrouded]

[stop making this gay]

long story

can i tell you when i find you again

[deontology]

[it's just true okay

there's a pause at that, though, before finally the text comes through--]

fine. we'll meet at the apartment.

[since there's no guarantee they're even in the same virtual world...]

[sunshrouded]

ok

[And that's that. Normally Tenka doesn't respond with short messages like that, but he's honestly not looking forward to this conversation.

Eventually though, he makes it back to their place and siiiiiighs.]

Soouuuseeeiiiii, is there tea?

[He's assuming if he dragged his feet to get back, which he did, Sousei probably got there first.]

[deontology]

[He did drag his feet, enough that Sousei was considering texting him again...but there he finally is, and Sousei frowns at the sigh and the whine that grates on his nerves--and sets the cups on the table with a thud.

Sit.]

Yes.

[Quite frankly and shortly. He sure doesn't look happy.

Now sit and talk.]

[sunshrouded]

[Why are you so grumpy, wow, that's not exactly stuff that makes him want to talk.

But now Tenka is sitting.

And taking the tea and nodding his thanks.

And sipping.

And sipping.

And sipping.

Watch him attempt to drain the cup before he starts talking.]

[deontology]

Tenka.

[He's not messing around here, okay. He sets his own glass down firmly, meeting Tenka's eyes.]

What were you talking about before?
