It can be dangerous, then. To call the enemy to you and your weapon like that.

[tauborn]

Yes, it can.

[But knowing how to use it is better than accidentally using it. And maybe he should shoo Kaworu away or something...? He's unsure, and the uncertainty is killing him. He's tempted to look around to see if anyone is watching this clearly innocent conversation, but the act of looking around would seem suspicious, wouldn't it?

Anxiety is a strange thing.]

[5thchild]

...

Is something wrong?

what even is that icon of yours.... o.O

[tauborn]

Huh?

[Should he try to shrug it off or should he actually explain? What would Yako prefer, anyway? Would it be weird if he just casually walked away? Yes, of course it would be weird. And it would probably hurt Kaworu's feelings. He doesn't want to hurt Kaworu's feelings--he does that plenty already.]

Er, no. I mean yes.

[What is he saying. He is going to screw this up. He can't screw this up. He's not allowed any more screw-ups. This is already feeling like a nightmare.]

he is eating an apple o.o

[5thchild]

[ There is a small pause, before Kaworu's smile drops just a little ]

Do you wish to talk about it?

And that makes his clothes fall off? how... biblical

[tauborn]

[He hesitates, trying to think of what he could say, what might be the least damaging thing to say... and eventually decides that it's not fair to leave Kaworu entirely in the dark. He exhales loudly, and folds his arms across his chest.]

Okay, so, the thing is, I need to pretty much not be around you for a while. I mean, I suppose we can talk every now and then but that's it. It's not really your fault, but it's how I need things to be.

Oh, and don't talk about the strip club to Yako--it upsets her. Of course, if she asks, say whatever you want.

it's a shirt that shows the shoulders. it's actually an official image

[5thchild]

[ kaworu doesn't really understand, mostly because a) takuto never really explained him what happened between them b) what is romantic love he has no idea? c) takuto has always kept at arms-length around Kaworu. There are certain lilin interactions that the angel still doesn't understand at all. But knowing how uncomfortable he makes the other feel, he won't press the issue.

Instead Kaworu nods, with a small smile ]

Alright. I understand. [ he can't say he understands the reason why, but he understands the need to keep away. ]

of course it is. it looks just like a doujin image or something.

[tauborn]

[Takuto tries not to grit his teeth. That is such a typical Kaworu reaction. He manages to get by with just frowning and taking a deep breath.]

No, I don't think you really do. But that's okay, as long as I can keep my distance for a while. [He's well aware he hasn't explained everything--that in fact he really hasn't explained anything at all--but he can't see how he can explain it properly without falling into the same traps he fell into before. And he's determined to not make any more mistakes.]

[5thchild]

Perhaps I understand more than you think I do.

[ Since it was a request, Kaworu decides it's time to leave and with one last nod he turns, after he offers the other boy a last smile ] Goodbye, Takuto.

[ he will take his leave. Kaworu still wishes to see Shinji before the training is over. ]
