If you think I'm capable of that then you're a fool. And you've never been that, you just like playing one.

( There is no other way around asking his next question, no matter how much it sets his teeth on edge. )

Have you seen a cursed spirit here? Beyond the one I mentioned.

[rikugan]

[ he has met a cross-dimensional version of a curse called a shadow, but otherwise— ]

no
none like the ones we have back home

[gorb]

Interesting.

It doesn't matter much. All you have to do is look beyond these walls and you know they've found other ways to be parasitic.

[rikugan]

who will you be fightin to protect here then suguru?

[gorb]

( It's frustrating that he doesn't have an answer. )

Oh, I'm sure I'll make friends.

[rikugan]

to what end?

[gorb]

( With all the grace and maturity of a twenty-seven year old toddler. )

Why would I tell you?

[rikugan]

bc were both equally aimless rn

[gorb]

Your boredom hasn't had anything to do with me in an entire decade and I'm not about to start letting it again.

[rikugan]

aww dont say such hurtful words suguru
were teammates now~

[gorb]

A fact I'm taking as personal spite from the universe.

[rikugan]

fine
you dont gotta tell me

hate to break it to you tho
unless youre plannin to side with the kaiju
youre gonna have to suck it up & play nice with alllllllllll the nonsorcerers here

[gorb]

I don't think that's part of the demand Lilith set out for me, actually.

I can manage alone, I have done before.

[rikugan]

if she wanted us to manage it on our own she wouldnt have put us in teams

quit bein stubborn suguru
you dont have any more reason to be like this

[gorb]

Out of sight, out of mind? You think it's that easy? Or that I can forget everything and behave?

Maybe I was wrong earlier, maybe you are a fool.

[rikugan]

i dont need you to forget or to behave

i just dont want you to waste your time on smth that has no meanin here

[gorb]

That sounds an awful lot like you're giving me a second chance.

( It makes him feel itchy and discomfited. )

[rikugan]

isnt this place a second chance for the both of us?

[gorb]

No.

( Ten years he's managed to wriggle his way loose from any attempt at sincerity and this bastard thinks he can try now? Geto would rather get eaten by a Kaiju. )

I said I'd leave your people alone. Do the same for me.

[rikugan]

[ this stubborn fool. ]

no

[gorb]

( ...

...

... )

Don't push me. I'm at least trying to be reasonable.

1/2

[rikugan]

[rikugan]

no
