week 1, saturday

[preowned]

[ if rupert passes by the dojo, he will see tsuru just

laying down on his back on the floor

existing ]

[agleam]

[he's wandering aimlessly but when he sees him he hurries over, alarmed, with a wince]

Are you alright?!

[preowned]

[ he does not move, but he'll call out ]

Rupert, you're still injured.

[agleam]

I'm very aware! But if you're not hurt, you can't just lay on the floor like that even if it's not Friday! You're going to give me a heart attack...

[preowned]

Ha ha ha, sorry, sorry.

[ he sits up. ]

Just thinking.

[agleam]

[walking at a normal pace now]

In that case... Penny for your thoughts?

[preowned]

What do you think of what everyone was saying. About guilt.

[agleam]

I asked for your thoughts...

[he huffs, but after a moment]

If it's like last week, with the shadow... Of course this wasn't her fault.

[preowned]

[ he nods ]

And about whether or not the murder counted if he came back?

[agleam]

...He got shot in the head, I'm not going to act like that doesn't matter or doesn't count. I'm really glad he's back, but that doesn't really erase what happened. It doesn't make it her fault, either, though.

[preowned]

[ he just nods his head again. ]

Right.

[agleam]

I wasn't kidding when I said I wanted to know what you thought, though...

[preowned]

I think that... I understand the people a little more, after today. That's all.

[agleam]

How do you mean?

[preowned]

I don't know how to explain, but... it's not a bad thing.

[agleam]

[a laugh, though there's not much humor in it.]

Well, as long as we're impressing you.

[preowned]

That makes me sound so conceited.

[ ... ]

Well, it's not important. You are being careful, right?

[agleam]

I don't think you're conceited at all.

[he nods, though.]

Yeah. Shinobu's made it pretty clear there's going to be consequences if I reopen anything, so...

[preowned]

She's pretty scary, huh?

[agleam]

She's a really good friend! And also pretty scary.

[preowned]

Yeah! You definitely don't want to get on her bad side.

[agleam]

Are you speaking from experience...?

[preowned]

... not personally. We get along very well.

I've just seen when she is very upset with others.

[agleam]

Remind me to never be on the receiving end of that.

[preowned]

Going by what I know of you, I'd be surprised if you do.
