[ Yep, it's Lt. Saitou Hajime all right, looking spic-and-span and normal as ever... Well. As normal as a 165-year-old samurai can pass as normal.

Not surprisingly there's a cigarette in his hand, taking a long drag from it before saying anything. Though one will note, when he does speak, it has a noticeably colder tone than usual (and will continue to sound so in all replies). ]

So sorry, Cavil. Didn't take.



[ POLICE FILTER (thou shalt not hax) ]

As annoying as this debacle was, I did obtain some useful information. It's better we discuss off-network.


[ PRIVATE TO BILLY, VIEWABLE TO KIRYU, HIRUMA, MELEE, ALASTAIR AND ELISA MAZA ]

Dr. Horrible, was it? [ He narrows his eyes dangerously, throwing his spent cigarette away as well. ] Consider yourself a dead man.

[The Porter has made Saitou forget his 3-year-old son = basically translates as an upgrade to Cold Bastard™ 3.0]

[ Saitou's silent for a long while after that. In a way Kiryu was right, but... he was also wrong. It's not like Tokio was here to be by his side during this moment to reassure him that she was still in his life. That maybe he'd forgotten her for a second, but she'd forgiven him and had let him know it was all right...

Aome startles seconds later and jumps off him when Saitou finally gives in to that want of falling back on his bed, covering his eyes with one hand. (Whereas the cat is considering using his chest as a nap area, but who knew how long he'd stay there if he kept moving around--) ]

[ An unsteady exhale. ]

You're so damn lucky I feel bad about what happened, 'cause if I didn't, you'd be eating my fist.

permavideo! also private

[wolfofmibu]

[ His expression falters, just a bit. Though it still shows in his eyes (even as he looks away) - he is definitely sorry she ever had to find out. ]

I'm sorry I put you through this.

oh right! private also. 8]

What's there to be sorry for? [ A bit under her breath. ] You're the one that fuckin' died. Not like anything happened to me.

8D

[wolfofmibu]

[ Yeah no not looking back at the screen just yet he's got another guilt trip laid on his shoulders right now.

... And actually yeah he can't think of anything else to say. He felt responsible more than anyone. ]

[ She pauses. His silence seems to quell her anger a little. Finally, in a tough-girl tone, she goes on: ]

Well, I hope you learned your damn lesson. I'm gonna go easy on you this time, but next time, you're gonna be eating soup for a week when I'm done with you.

also will tag more tomorrow >.>

[wolfofmibu]

[ ... All right well he can't help an amused smile at that, and tentatively looks back at the comm. ]

I'll keep that in mind.

sleep good!

[martialartistic.livejournal.com]

Don't do it again. I mean it. Okay?

[wolfofmibu]

[ That smile stays there for a little while longer, as he shakes his head just the slightest. ]

I won't.

[Kiryu's a little disappointed by the lack of agreement, but of course, Saitou wasn't thinking clearly right now, so he probably shouldn't have expected it.

He gives Saitou's shoulder a brief squeeze before getting up and walking over to his own bed, partially to let Saitou have the whole bed if he wanted it and partially because he was exhausted himself.]

[ Saitou moves his hand a little to watch Kiryu move over, knowing this had to have been hard on him too...

Briefly he sighs again and shifts until his head hits his pillow, staring up at the ceiling. He'd done a lot of that when Cavil was trying to get him to pay attention... but he'd rather think on those things later. And how to fix all this later. Now just sleeping in his own bed for once sounds like a good idea (as Aome jumps back on the bad and curls up next to him; so predictable.) ]
