Well... At any rate, make sure to keep taking care of it. I - don't know if you guys can get infections? But you really don't want to find out.

[unsaid]

I am unsure as well. We normally do not keep our injuries for very long...

But nonetheless, I am sure that Shinobu Kocho shall intervene before this old man causes too much damage to himself.

[agleam]

Good. Hopefully we'll get a medical center or something soon... Maybe we could ask the staff about it.

[unsaid]

The staff only cautioned me to have patience - and so I shall.

[he went to ask after hua cheng suggested it and he's like yea makes sense]

For now, I believe I am in good hands. I would much rather inquire about you.

[agleam]

Hopefully soon, then.

[he pauses, though.]

I don't know. It's - complicated.

[unsaid]

And what is it that makes it complicated?

[agleam]

[he pauses, trying to organize his thoughts, here. since he's already mentioned it in very vague terms:]

What happened back home... I don't want to get into the details yet, really, but - it's made it really hard to trust people when I don't know exactly how they might act when things get difficult or dangerous. But even with that, Sieghart is my friend. And the way he calmed down all of a sudden at the end there - I wonder if maybe there was something influencing him. I want to think he wouldn't have done something like that ordinarily.

[he sighs.]

Besides, it feels kind of hypocritical of me not to give him the benefit of the doubt before we know more. So - I don't really know how to feel, yet. Not until I go talk to him.

[unsaid]

[ . . . mikazuki smiles faintly at that.]

... I am pleased that you will speak with him.

[some people have told jiji that he absolutely won't and jiji, with his face stab, still cannot entirely fathom why not. but he does not begrudge people for their choices - only feels the slightest bit of happiness to know that sieg has not been left alone.]

I hope that you find the answers that you seek.

[agleam]

So do I.

[after a moment:]

Are you going to go talk to him, too?

[unsaid]

[nodding]

Naturally so.

Our conversation was left very unfinished.

[agleam]

...If I'm guessing right, he'll probably want to apologize to you.

[unsaid]

He has little to apologize to me for.

[agleam]

I don't know if most people would see it that way... But - I'm glad you weren't more seriously injured.

[unsaid]

I would not allow myself to be.

[easily....]

Do not worry. When it comes to important moments, even this old man ought to be reliable.

[agleam]

Oh - I didn't mean to imply you aren't capable or anything, just...

[unsaid]

Fufu... I am aware.

[ . . . ]

But I would like it most - if you all extended more care to each other than you did to me. I believe... that is what I have come to realize this evening.

[agleam]

...Are you thinking of anyone in particular when you say that?

[unsaid]

I was not until you asked, and now I am thinking of guns.

[agleam]

[immediately makes a face]

That guy...

[unsaid]

[laughs a bit]

I rather like Jason Todd...

[agleam]

Why?

[BE NICE]

[unsaid]

[LAUGHS OPENLY]

Ha ha ha.

Because he is dishonest.

[agleam]

Why would you like somebody for being dishonest?

[unsaid]

Because he is dishonest about how much he cares for others.

It is charming.

[agleam]

How do you get that idea?
