[wow, answer his question???

he blinks.]

Huh? Oh, you ran into him?

[he sounds way too casual about this.]

[usogi]

Ray-kun, please don't just stab people!

[selfimmolates]

There was an incident. It probably won't happen again.

[probably?]

[usogi]

Please don't leave it at 'probably'.... Guy-san is too nice. He wouldn't even tell me who did it.

[and senri is a GOSSIP]

Anyway I don't know - did you find out what it is? I haven't asked yet. He's been weird, everyone's been weird, I'm tired.

[selfimmolates]

We were training. He told me to find an opening, so I did. It's not like I ran up to him and put a dagger in his chest for no reason.

[ :/ ]

Dang, I was hoping you'd know.

[usogi]

[ . . . . ]

That's not training anymore, Ray-kun....

[but he doesn't scold him anymore than that??]

Ask Uchiha. Apparently they talked.

[selfimmolates]

[good, so that means he can stab guy again, right—]

Sasuke and I don't have the kind of relationship where I'd go up to him and ask him about random people.

[usogi]

You're still useful to him so I don't think you're in trouble if you push the envelope a little more.

I'm still alive?

[what an argument]

[selfimmolates]

I prefer to keep my relationship with him focused on business.

[usogi]

[ . . . ]

Yeah that makes sense.

[senri will pull up his long sleeve and show ray a mark around his wrist, like a hand encircled it and gripped on tightly]

Back me up in case it comes up on Saturday that I already had this?

[this was clearly not at all related to their prior topic]

[selfimmolates]

... How'd you get it?

[usogi]

How do you think I got it...

Uchiha's a mess.

[and he'll actually bring a hand up to press at his neck, pulling at a scarf that he's been wearing since monday]

I've been triple-checking but there's nothing here, right?

[no apparently his neck was left undamaged]

[selfimmolates]

I figured. Have you considered not provoking him?

[a beat.]

... Actually, it's pretty bad.

[usogi]

Ha?! No way!

[HE'S GETTING UP TO FIND THE CLOSEST MIRROR]

[selfimmolates]

I'm kidding.

[usogi]

That's a really bad joke, Ray-kun!

[he'll whine... and go to sit back down...]

It's not my fault... We just end up arguing....

[selfimmolates]

Weren't you supposed to be good at faking?

[also, he's going to pull out his camera and snap a picture of senri's wrist, if he can.]

[usogi]

[oh my god - senri is quick to pull his sleeve back down anyway??]

What're you doing?

[selfimmolates]

My word won't mean much since people know we associate with one another. A photo isn't perfect proof either, since I could hypothetically have taken it on Friday, but it might help back up any claims.

[usogi]

[ . . . . . . senri sighs.]

Who knows? Uchiha might take credit anyway.

[and he just waves a hand]

I don't get him at all - but I feel like if I leave him alone now, I'll just be proving him right.

[selfimmolates]

If you say so.

[no skin under ray's back. he puts his camera away.]

Why does it even matter to you?

[usogi]

I'm stubborn and don't think he'll actually kill me.

[selfimmolates]

... And your reasoning for that?

[usogi]

Too obvious. He'd get voted out immediately. You know what his current god is and if you need an ability, you'd know what his next one is too.

[selfimmolates]

He doesn't know that I'm aware of his current alignment. It's also risky for me to call him out on anything—he could try and paint me as an accomplice, since I'm assisting with upgrading his weaponry.
