[he shrugs.]

In any case, the only other people who know I have them is the people aligned with Love. I don't think Madoka even realized what I did—she probably just assumed she was feeling stressed enough to talk about it.

Unfortunately, they're not that easy to use. Not everyone is as trusting as she is.

[usogi]

[ . . . . . ugh.]

If we're ever reeeaaaally in a pinch....

You can give me one and I can try to give it to someone. I think people expect me to do stupid mundane things a little more often.

[he takes out what might be a familiar tin (hi, guess when ray considered drugging senri), before pulling out a cookie from it.]

You can't control the type of secret, for the record.

[usogi]

That's—

[ . . . . senri closes his eyes]

.... well, it's worth a shot. Someone can honestly assume that Cunning or Dizzy gave it to me for favors and I was careless and didn't ask what they did.

[he sighs]

I'm sure there's a lie that'd be harder to unravel if it needs to happen.

... in exchange, never give one of those to Shishimaru.

[selfimmolates]

Oh, don't worry. I'd only use it against people I think I could fool and whose bridge I'm willing to potentially burn.

[... but you know

morality is not a factor in the equation.]

[usogi]

[ . . . . . . . . . . ]

You were willing to burn our bridge?!

[selfimmolates]

To be fair, it was already kind of on fire.

[usogi]

I thought we were fine by then!

[??????]

[selfimmolates]

Then, smouldering?

[usogi]

That doesn't mean you need to just set it on fire again!

[selfimmolates]

Weren't you the one who made that dramatic speech about how it was okay if I didn't believe in you, etc., etc.?

[usogi]

And it's true but I can still be kind of unhappy that you were thinking of drugging me.

[selfimmolates]

I didn't do it. Doesn't that count for anything?

[no]

[usogi]

... yeah.

[senri,]

But please don't scare me like that. Just be straightforward with me... I already said I'd try to do better.

[selfimmolates]

Five dimensional chess, remember?

[usogi]

Having a little more faith in me, remember?

[selfimmolates]

Yeah, if I was good at that kind of stuff, I wouldn't have drugged Madoka.

[usogi]

Just think of it as one more thing you need to get good at!

[selfimmolates]

I thought I was outsourcing that to others?

[usogi]

Yeah - but I still need you to believe in me!

[selfimmolates]

... I believe in you more than I believe in most people here.

You'll have to content yourself with that.

[usogi]

[ . . . . the terrible thing is that seems to be enough for him?

he sighs in relief???? fucking moron]

... okay.

Then that's fine.

[selfimmolates]

[he just looks away because this shit is embarrassing.]

[usogi]

[lmao, emo tsunderes

senri just offers up a smile at that]

Okay... I think that's all I had then. I'll see you later at Beauty's room? I'm gonna try to see if I can find Sasuke to get dinner with me.

[selfimmolates]

Yeah, sure.
