[The calloused hand rubs Senri's neck for a moment before sliding away.] Senri. [He doesn't have to ask, Are you okay? He knows Senri isn't. He knows Senri hasn't been for a while, maybe since even the very first trial.]
We did what we could.
no subject
[sasuke might pull his hand back but
senri follows, pressing his face into his collarbone]
... It's not enough.
We're not done yet.
I haven't found the other one.
no subject
[Sasuke sighs, maybe frustratedly, maybe tiredly. In a moment or two, his arms rise to loop around Senri's shoulders.]
We'll find them. We found Connor. You're always good at getting people to talk. [He frowns.] I know you're angry about Ray.
I am, too.
no subject
[and his fingers might curl into sasuke's shirt to hold him in place as he sighs]
And even if I can get people to talk, I can't do anything to save people before they get hurt.
I'm still... not....
[he trails off, blinking furiously to ward off tears]
no subject
You can't save everyone. None of us can.
no subject
Everyone has... really important wishes.
[there's the shuddering in his shoulders, and the sound of his throat choking up again]
I didn't ask Zo what hers was... or Jude-kun....
I barely got Ray-kun's....
no subject
I doubt Justice is going to win, and I won't leave him at the end. If he does win... I can see if there's a way to ask for something like that.
no subject
I'm taking Ray-kun's as my own.
[and he breathes out when he mentions that]
If the right god wins, they can grant smaller wishes to people even not on their team so....
no subject
Sasuke leans back just enough to force Senri to look him in the face.] Why...? Your wish was so important to you.
I don't understand. Don't give it up.
no subject
... if Taka and I graduate at the top of our class in three years, I'll have all the resources I need to make my wish come true.
I don't... need to rely on gods.
[ . . . ]
I'd rather make sure Ray-kun is taken care of, after all he's done for us.
no subject
Hh... [His expression is strange in a way that's almost unreadable, but it's soft regardless. In a way, maybe he looks a little fond?] You think I'm going to praise you?
...Stop copying me, tangerine.
no subject
sighs as he leans against sasuke, exhausted as if he's been carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders for oh about five weeks]
... why would I ever want to copy someone so uncool....
no subject
[Admittedly, Sasuke leans a little back, equally as exhausted. He's been exhausted since week one when his brother kicked it!!! But... whatever, this is fine.]
Tea with valerian in it is what you want. It'll help you sleep. It's a sedative herb.
no subject
... then I'll have some later.
There's still some stuff I have to do, before I get to sleep.
no subject
Like what? Being nosy? [The frown is in his voice.] Be careful.
no subject
I have to be.
I'm about to be Cheri's only follower.
no subject
Everyone expects me to defect because of it. What if I don’t?
no subject
I'm not... mad at you, I just -
[he struggles]
... Zo told me that if I ever needed help, keeping gods from going to zero, to let her know. Jude-kun was supposed to be the one who stuck by Cheri, so I could be a moving piece based on what we needed. Ray-kun...
I don't... need to tell you how much I relied on Ray-kun.
I just.... lost a lot of help, this week.
no subject
[His arms tighten. It isn’t enough to squeeze uncomfortably, or even really squeeze at all. A shift of the muscles in his arms and his shoulders. He didn’t know anyone hardly except Ray. And Ray was enough.
Livestock. The thought makes him frown so much.]
We’ll manage. We don’t have any other choice. We’ll see them again when it’s all over.
no subject
I'm... Yeah.
I'm reassessing. Establishing new connections, and making bridges where I used to let Ray-kun handle it for me....
... I'll have new, better information this coming week, so we have more to work off of. I promise.
no subject
Whatever happens, trust your instincts. [That much... he can thank Naruto for.] What you feel on the inside. It will help you more than anything else I know.
no subject
My instincts say....
You need to tell me wherever you defect to.
Please try to get a favor from Bambi, so we can put hints together about what happened to Ray-kun before the new trial.
And... if you were convinced by Piety, help me encourage more people to talk to him.
Those... are my new plans for the week. They're really basic, and nothing like what Ray-kun can do but.... I'm going to get there.
no subject
I’ll tell you when I decide. [He just makes a bit of a face.] I don’t know if I can be the one to convince people to talk to Piety. You can get a Justice follower to make a rule requirement.
[Don’t look at him!!!!!!!]
