[ . . . . ugh.

senri pauses, if only because those sure are odd words to hear when you've been alone most of your life. he pauses, and his smile worries into something faintly touched.]

... I need you too.

[and he'll peer up again to press his lips to taka's

when he pulls away, he also looks away]

It's okay... I might just need to - get better at letting go.

[because he's not used to having anything he cared about losing either]

[bakaomi]

... we still have time to figure things out.

[ it may not seem like a lot from where they're standing, but look at how much progress they've made in the short time that's already passed?

he leans his head against senri's, closing his eyes. ]

The game's not over yet.

[usogi]

[senri just sighs as he leans against taka too]

... he doesn't want to come back with us. He has to take care of his village, and there are people waiting for him. I can't ask him to leave all that.

[bakaomi]

Maybe there's something else we can do...

[ interdimensional cell phones? he doesn't know. they'll probably have to ask. ]

... but you are important to him, you know.

[usogi]

[senri just snorts at that]

He... cares about me enough, I guess. It's probably because it's been a while since he's had anyone that wouldn't hate him for all the stupid things he does.

And he cares about you too, you know, even though he's really bad at saying anything about it.

[bakaomi]

[ he just makes a Face at that ]

[usogi]

Stop it.

[senri laughs even as he gives taka another kiss]

... well, I'm glad you two are getting along better so you can't get jealous all the time.

[bakaomi]

When have I ever been jealous?

[ lmao ]

[usogi]

Often. So often. You're almost more jealous of Sasuke than Beauty sometimes.

[WHICH SENRI THINKS IS HILARIOUS???]

[bakaomi]

You're always hanging off of him!!

[usogi]

If I don't get physical, he'll just walk away from me or work himself into an angry mess when I don't have the words to show that I care about him.

[bakaomi]

[ he looks away ]

Sometimes it just gets annoying seeing you cling to other people like that when you can't really...

[ do the same with him unless there's a convenient excuse like being cold. ]

[usogi]

[taka is

very cute

and senri's expression just softens as he nuzzles into taka's cheek]

.... I'll find more excuses to cling to you soon.

I want to hold your hand all the time.

[bakaomi]

You're so gross.

[ he says as if he didn't just admit that's what he wants like two seconds ago ]

[usogi]

Mm-hmm.

[and he'll kiss Taka's cheek!]

Just wondering.... how did you get Catra-san to tell you her alignment anyway?

[bakaomi]

I asked her what her alignment was, she said no, I asked again, she asked why I wanted to know, and I said I was looking for Ambition followers.

[usogi]

.... and did she ask why you wanted to know?

[bakaomi]

I just said that I was trying to make sure Ambition followers weren't only joining her for the numbers.

[usogi]

Oh.... Yeah, hopefully that's trustworthy enough to get her to talk.

What did she say?

[bakaomi]

She said that she's not even if Ambition annoys her sometimes.

[usogi]

... I guess that makes sense. Bambi isn't bad - I just... I don't know if I see her as a leader.

[he's stuck in a difficult place on that one,]

But she could be... I just don't know if we have time to get her to learn before we have to leave.

[bakaomi]

I don't think we do. And even then, a lot of it depends on her relationship with the other gods. Their drama with each other is so...

[ dumb ]

[usogi]

[senri winces]

... that little family unit is so complicated. Cunning, Dizzy, Bambi... Cunning and Dizzy have affection for everyone involved, but no trust. I don't know if Bambi realizes how they feel - and I'm scared for if she ever finds out.

[bakaomi]

... mm. They care about her but they're-- something.

[ he reaches out to hold senri's hand ]

I think they're getting better, but it probably won't be enough by the time the game ends.

[usogi]

[senri will immediately take taka's hand, interlacing their fingers quietly as he breathes in and sighs out a heavy breath]

... I think the game is making things harder on them. They still view each other as competitors.
