[5thchild]

[ yeah, kaworu needs to stop or he will die right here and there. After taking few deep breathes, he finally speaks ] I'm sorry - I can't run and talk at the same time. [ no stamina, no resistance, no decent set of lungs, apparently ]

[loveanddreams]

You're upset about the people who were sickened?

[He was slightly disturbed about the incident himself. Even if his family desired revenge against humans, he preferred to go about it in a more discriminating way, punishing those who deserved it.]

[bloodinbloom]

Mhm... We couldn't help a few of them and their families are mad. It's in their right to be.

[She's the wrong person to come to for revenge.]

[loveanddreams]

I see. It is quite easy for love to turn into hate with the loss of a loved one. Do you blame yourself for what happened?

[bloodinbloom]

I just hope... one day, they could try forgiving me. [Rosalia nudges the ground with a dangling foot]

I do.

[motherofthesun]

[Watching him stand up, she trots after him and immediately springs up when he picks up the stick. She drops, hops, anything that might get him to throw the stick sooner. Yes! Yes she wants to catch!]

[loveanddreams]

But none have tried to harm you? [He's seen that happen in the past, too.]

It was unfortunate but I don't know if you could have done otherwise in the circumstances. [He sets his picnic basket down on the table. Perhaps some tea would make her feel better...]

[bloodinbloom]

No, they haven't. [Would people really try that? Everyone's been asking.]

If I could have known before it happened... I mean, what happen did explain why I was tired more than usual.

[unbreakably]

[ You sure are a typical dog in some ways, Amaterasu.. but Josuke doesn't mind.

He's already grinning as he stretches his arm back and then swings it forward, actually throwing the stick a good distance into the air in front of them. In this sense being overly muscled for someone your age sort of helps, huh. ]

There, get it!

[motherofthesun]

[To be fair, chasing a stick can be seen as an agility exercise.]

[She's already bolting when the stick is tossed. If only it was a Frisbee, she could catch it all cool like, but it's a stick and coming down. Making a spring, she catches it in her fangs. Gnawing on it for a second, she jogs back over to Josuke. Keep throwing like that, and she would use all her muscles today.]

[5thchild]

[ kaworu can agree. Raids to the city and attacks to come, the angel knows this place is not as safe as it looks. If he had zero tact if he was manga kaworu he'd ask Shinji if it didn't remind him of Tokyo-3. But he does have some tact, so he doesn't ask. He already knows. ]

I'm alright. [ he is far more worried about Shinji, right now ]

Are you worried, about the city and what is to come?

[5thchild]

[ Kaworu watches Josuke put the sandwich back, and he just smiles wide at that. Nope, not soiled, kaworu doesn't mind ]

I think it's good to see people enjoying themselves. Even if it's with food.

[ he will take a bite of his own sandwich now ]

HI LATE TAG SORRY convention season

[sharingan]

[ Sasuke shakes his head. ]

With the number of partners we have, it isn't unusual for someone to be on a mission.

[ his hand settles on the hilt of his katana, though the gesture isn't threatening so much as relaxed. the black of his eyes walk the length of the other man's body, clearly sizing him up, though to what end is difficult to say. ]

We haven't met.

[sharingan]

[ he oofs softly, and nearly loses his balance with all that canine in his lap, but one hand behind him stops Sasuke from careening into the bed of flowers. he closes his eyes and his mouth purses. ]

You act just like a regular dog sometimes.

[motherofthesun]

Wuf.

[Yes, she does, but it doesn't bother her. Nosing his leg for a moment, she lets her head settle and closes her eyes. Yes, this is a comfortable spot too.]

i almost forgot what i was doing in this thread

[sharingan]

Hn.

[ it's an agreement, and Sasuke's gaze sweeps out to the field, inadvertently looking for the slash of blond that is his partner's hair. ]

They've been giving us extra eggs, when we come back.

[ it would be a bad omen, if Sasuke believed in such a thing. ]

HI AGAIN

[sharingan]

[hot

Sasuke's gaze rakes the other nin, follows his movements and the expression on his face. he isn't particularly close to Lee, hadn't been even before— even if he'd always respected his ability to use taijutsu.

Lee greets him and Sasuke says nothing, for long enough for it to be deemed awkward by any other.

the he reaches down and unhooks his katana from his belt, dropping it on the grass next to him. ]

[heavenly_earth]

[Neji however, isn't so sure, and it shows in the way he glances sidelong in response to the information. That's never happened before]

They must really need more Deathscythes.

[And he really needs to get Lee out on the field more, but something's brewing further south from what's heard..]

[sharingan]

Things could only be simple for so long.

[ not that Sasuke thinks they had always been simple. so much had happened— he recalls Naruto's kidnapping, the vector tails...

but it was very different, when their numbers were smaller. ]

Smaller numbers mean we need to hit harder.

[heavenly_earth]

[So Shibusen's running out of time, and they feel the strain that's losing veteran partnerships, that's BREW's instability and their tenuous existence. They might be well be handing out souls that'll vanish just as quickly as they're consumed, but it's a risk they're taking.

It doesn't bode well for victory]

And exercise more care.

[The world is beginning to look more and more like their own, and there's an ache in his chest that will never fully heal]

[heavenly_earth]

[She looks young to his eyes, but he knows plenty about appearances in contrast to capability. This girl could be all of a thousand years old for all he knows.

But a smile tugs at the corner of his mouth, because hardly anyone addresses him in such a fashion anympre]

Impressive, Tomoe-san. You do sound well-suited. Do you have any combat training? It's not mandatory, but advisable.

[unbreakably]

[ Still pretty impressive, catching it before it hits the ground. ]

Oh, so you're an expert! [ Expert at.. playing catch.. I don't know, don't ask me, Josuke is a loser, okay. He's already raising the stick anyway to throw it again, this time a little harder so it goes further. ]

[rosso_fantasma]

That sounds like a bummer. [As far as being the last troll around, that is.]

My family couldn't afford it. [Again, very nonchalantly, and with a small shrug.] What about you?

[rosso_fantasma]

[Well... that wasn't really what she was expecting. Huh. At least she ate it. She gives a puzzled look before returning to her plate once more and... maybe something else would be better? She picks up a muffin she had in the pile of food and splits it in half. Maybe that would be a more suitable treat for Amaterasu.]

[rosso_fantasma]

[Good thing Amaterasu's patient enough for that, because Kyoko isn't about to put that apple down just to test out a resonance. She does finish it off fairly quickly, though!]

You ready, then? [As if she wasn't the one being waited on. Wonderful.]
