[ it's a half-hearted thing, his reply. little escapes a man like gojo satoru, same as it wouldn't with someone like geto suguru. different speeds and perceptions, perhaps, but they're opposing sides of the same double-edged blade. megumi should already know better than to dodge the cut. he'll get his red lines no matter what, whether or not it's intended. ]
it's still a successful mission, in the end. so that's good. right?
[ reinforce the good, shuck off the bad. do it for yourself like you keep being encouraged to do. ]
We'll work on it. You can train with me this week.
( Whether or not that is a threat is entirely to be decided. He'll still need to get details from Shoko, and from Nanami, but usually the girls all end up vouching for Megumi and really, Geto isn't interested in being an unyielding taskmaster. Maybe he'll just exhaust him a little as punishment. )
And I'd like to see your report too. Even if you think Satoru will tell me it.
[ bright side: training with geto-san probably won't drag megumi to the very brink of death. he'll take it for what it is. ]
i've started writing it up on my phone.
[ little notes on both the work tablet and his notes app; he'll outline it further when he gets in. megumi likes to handwrite his reports from time to time, keeping practice with his characters and pen strokes. it can be so easy to rely on easy; easy writing, easy techniques, easy outs. he always has to remind himself that life is worth taking the more difficult path for. ]
[ the elders. they carry the same weight as saying the garbage, hearing gojo-san tell it, and megumi can't blame him. his few interactions with the elders from his zen'in family prove to him how unsavory and unpleasant they can get. ]
thank you.
and please don't tell tsumiki. i know she'll worry even more than she already does.
Maybe next time you'll recall their wrath, and how much torment you'll have to endure while in that sling. You know there's no summoning in the living room, so you'll be defenceless.

you're right. no one died.

well it's an unfair rule! i'm the only one with shikigami, how is that fair at all? nanako portals objects back and forth all the time.

if i get the dogs and the rabbits house-trained can i please summon them at home?
[ nue's out of the question entirely; for one, she's too big. for another, she'll absolutely fry all the electronics indoors. ]
no subject
( The answer is yes, but unfortunately he cannot fold that quickly. The four of them already run roughshod over him. He can't deny them much at all. )
no subject
i'll look up bunny beds and dog leashes. thank you.
no subject
Now if only you could summon a cat so the girls will stop asking.

Probably neither will the dogs.
no subject
if i die won't the dogs also be released back into the... wherever shikigami come from?
i would be freeing them from indentured servitude.
no subject
Maybe he should ask Shoko for that therapist number she keeps trying to palm off on him. )
There's probably no biscuits in the void.
no subject
i also wouldn't be around to give them biscuits. would they remember me when the next ten shadows user is born?
