[tokakujuho]

Are you fishing for compliments?

Fathers are generally absent.

[gorb]

Maybe.

My ego could be bruised.

( ... )

[tokakujuho]

[ now you've made him laugh in public. :( ]

I'll ask Ieiri to get in touch and say something nice about your hair.

[gorb]

She used to threaten to cut it in my sleep, Nanami. She's not going to say anything good.

[tokakujuho]

She was probably jealous that you were allowed to have long hair.
She's grown hers out now.
It will be fine.

Probably.

[gorb]

( Silly, that he feels a pang of jealousy over someone knowing that, when Geto chose to leave. )

I'll take your word for it. But I'm sure she'd still just call me out so I'll pass.

[tokakujuho]

Very well.

Though I think she'd like to hear from you sometime.

[gorb]

Better to not implicate her. She deserves better.

[tokakujuho]

[ why does he still talk to any of them? he could have stayed a banker boy and be retired, enjoying his beach house by now. ]

Stubborn ass.

[gorb]

( Sucks to be him! )

Aren't we all, in our own way? Maybe it's part of a jujutsu sorcerer's genetic makeup.

[tokakujuho]

I have no idea what you're talking about.
Everyone else aside from you two is perfectly reasonable.

[gorb]

Satoru is his own beast entirely. Don't lump me in with him.

( :C )

[tokakujuho]

If he is a beast then he's your beast and you are forever responsible for him because you're the one who tamed him.

[gorb]

Eh!!!

( Wow. )

I'm leaving him at the side of the road if that's the case.

[tokakujuho]

[ don't 'eh' him. it was a compliment. sort of. ]What, again?

[gorb]

Again.

He's fine, isn't he? He got over it.

( In the same way that Geto did. Everyone's fine, nobody is fucked up. )

[tokakujuho]

Are you asking me or telling yourself that?

[ and Geto thinks they're not the same?? ]

[gorb]

Either way I don't have much sway in matters these days.

[tokakujuho]

Says the man with a vision.
Don't give up so easily, Geto-san.
We haven't.

[ not a single one of them in spite of it all. ]

[gorb]

Oh, I still have the Vision. Don't worry.

It just doesn't include the care and feeding of feral old friends. You'll have to keep it up for me.

[tokakujuho]

No, no, that one you should give up.

[gorb]

Is this your roundabout way of reforming me? I don't think it works like that.

[tokakujuho]

When have you known me to be anything but direct?
We're just talking.
It doesn't have to mean anything.

[gorb]

Good.

Because it doesn't.

( Stubborn. )

Tell me something else.

[tokakujuho]

Something else?
You're quite demanding.
