[ luke & senri are just two foolish redheads ]
tales of the abyss (2005)
tales of the abyss (2005)
[senri quietly just.
settles for eating a rice ball as he watches luke and considers his next words thoughtfully]
... Luke-kun, if a lot of people got convinced to join Pippin, and others disagreed - what do you think would happen? If ambitious people, who thought that we only have one more week before the game is over, see someone get in between them and their wish? And they won't be able to dissuade them, and encourage them to join their team?
[ . . . ]
It's dangerous... Please be careful who you might tell.

Oh.
[The reality of the situation settles on his shoulders—and he slumps.]
Y-Yeah. I get it now.
...Sorry.

Y-Yeah. I get it now.

[and senri just offers up a soft smile]
It's okay.
I appreciate your enthusiasm - just be careful. Of Ambition's team members especially, or anyone who might go back to her. I don't know what the numbers next week are going to look like, but we have to make it count.
[that said it looks like they've made it to the beauty salon]
And like Cheri always says - look your best to feel your best!

Right! I mean--I will! I won't tell anyone. Oh, except Guy—I'll make sure he's going to switch!
[And he laughs, as they arrive. Was he really coming here on his own accord? Oh, well... at least he was in good hands.]
Ha ha, nothing crazy! Just a trim!

Of course, of course. I can manage that easily. I'm pretty good at this kind of thing, you know?
[he's really proud of himself!! and he'll gesture for luke to take a seat in one of the chairs by a mirror as he retrieves a smock to cover him up and some scissors specifically for hair]
But... thanks. I'll keep you posted on what I can figure out on my end, to make sure the numbers work out.

I definitely know!
[he slips into the indicated chair, and even waits patiently for the smock, drumming his hands on his legs.]
I know you've been super busy with stuff, so... seriously, if you ever need some help with anything...!

[sometime in the day wednesday
wherever luke is, as long as he's alone
senri is just going to sliiiiiide up next to him]
I can't believe you didn't tell me that you and Pippin were like - a thing.
I thought we were friends, Luke-kun!!
[bUT AT LEAST
THE LOOK IN HIS EYES IS TEASING INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY HURT he just wants to do this]

[He's in the West wing, lazing around the fountain—it looks like he's nearly napping.
When Senri slides over, he opens one eye, and smiles a greeting--
--and his face rapidly goes through several color variations at once.]
Ah!
[In his scramble to sit up, he nearly topples directly into the fountain. Barely holding on, he scrambles over to Senri, and clamps a hand over his mouth.]
Sh-Shut up! Don't go around shouting stuff!

[HE'S DYING]
Who even--?! Why can't people keep their stupid mouths shut!?
[HE'S DYING]

He--?!
[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]
That little...! He just can't stop talking about it the second people ask him anything!
[His protestations simmer into mutters, and it's clear they're not directed at Senri, anymore.]
I'm not telling anyone! I--Piety just answers every question anyone asks him!
[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]

[HEE
senri thinks this is awesome. this is totally what he needed this week.]
He really can't - but all I did was mention you, and he said that he loves you more than anything.
That's so sweet. I'm shocked that I found you by yourself for even a second! I thought you'd tooootally be glued to his side!

W-Well, he's a god! He needs time to do... god stuff sometimes, right? Like offerings and whatever!

Luke is increasing looking like he might melt into the fountain out of embarrassment.]
D-Don't tell anyone else!

senri's just laughing and offering up a smile]
It did.
... I'm really happy for you. The both of you. It's really sweet, how much the two of you care about each other.
So I mean it - I hope you find a lot of time to do things together, and to bring each other happiness.
