week 6, friday

[vigilantics]

[ where is shirasu idk

either way, stephanie has been. crying?? it's fine (it's not actually fine). but once she's managed to reel it in enough so that she's no longer a sobbing mess, she'll just wander along the hallways until she runs into him. ]

[wagashis]

-ah.

[he manages a tiny smile as well, there.]

In that case, I... suppose it might be fine.

[vigilantics]

[ with that slight misunderstanding out of the way, she'll start walking in the direction of the baths then. ]

How did you get so dirty?

[wagashis]

...Melloi was buried in the gardens, but no one saw fit to leave a shovel.

[he's tired steph.]

[vigilantics]

Oh.

[ she has to close her eyes at that, trying not to imagine it. ]

Sorry.

[wagashis]

Fane was in the same area.

[he breathes out a sigh, there. two bodies, one location, one shirasu.]

...it's nothing to be sorry for, though. You had nothing to do with it.

[probably?]

[vigilantics]

[ this man found two bodies, oh my god.

she just... slowly reaches out to grab his hand. ]

[wagashis]

[he'll take it, thanks steph...]

Remind me not to go alone next time.

[vigilantics]

I'll go with you.

[ because she is just going to aggressively believe that neither of them will be dead. she'd probably scream otherwise at this point. ]

[wagashis]

I'd appreciate that, I think.

[he's stopping himself from saying 'if we're both alive'. that's not something she'll want to hear.]

Next week I'll find you first, then.

[vigilantics]

It's a promise. I better not see you with Belph.

[ because he too will surely still be alive. ]

[wagashis]

No? Would you be opposed if he came along?

[if he's not alive someone's probably going to die, so.]

[vigilantics]

... I'd be willing to let him third wheel us.

[wagashis]

Then I'll see what I can do. I'd like to keep an eye on the both of you, after all.

[vigilantics]

... thanks.

You should keep taking good care of your partner.

[wagashis]

Are things still all right between you and yours? I can't say I speak to him often...

[it's a little awkward tbh.]

[vigilantics]

We... figured out our issues.

[ as in, hikage finally realize that they're friends after over a month. ]

So we're okay.
