[Honestly, the two of them probably keep running until they can't run anymore, egging each other on with the fear of what they left in ruins behind them.
Sasuke collapses in the middle of the street of the neighborhood, resting on his knees and his palms, gasping for breath, until he hears the grating voice yell at them from several yards off.
He lifts his head, but is too out of breath to talk!! So he just--looks down. THE BRA. He swipes it like an angry cat, sending it flying into the middle of the road.]

[ well when sasuke goes down, taka just stumbles?? he manages to catch himself, but he starts looking wildly around as if he expected that sasuke was taken down by something instead of just falling on his own
it's just senri though
so he just fucking. goes to grab at sasuke's head. ]
Come on!
[ HE IS TERRIFIED ]

[Honestly, he could keep running, but he doesn't know what good it'll do in their situation. It isn't like they can hide.
So he jostles Takaomi's hand by shoving.] Get off me. [He at least rolls up to his feet, raising a knee so he can rest a hand on it.]
Would you shut up?! This doesn't concern you! Get out of here!

[At first, Sasuke look at Taka is surprise, and then it's a glare.] You what!? Idiot! [He grabs Taka's arm and hauls himself up to his feet.]
I'm not afraid of Cunning, and I'm not afraid of them either! They aren't--! They aren't gods!
[poor senri]

[ SENRI READ THE ROOM
he takes the glasses off and shoves them in his pocket. what were they for? you will never know. anyway. ]
Can we go inside before they figure out where we went? I'm pretty sure everyone in that goddamn courtyard will helpfully point in this direction.

[AT LEAST THEY AGREE ON THIS ONE THING.
Unhelpfully (for Senri), Sasuke grabs a handful of the tangerine's clothes and starts hauling him off with the two of them for one of the houses in the neighborhood.] Go. Get in. [No arguments. He's dragging Senri regardless.]

[ it's cool. they are in this house now. this house that taka is now looking around in, like he's making sure there is no one hiding in a closet or under a bed to stab them. it's all good.
once he's sure it's all clear, taka is just going to... go and collapse on the couch.
once again, senri has received zero answers. ]

[Sasuke doesn't check anything like he's paranoid, but he does drop back against the door and heave a long, low sigh.]
Do you ever shut up, you idiot orange?
[He and Taka honestly look extremely Exhausted. They smell very faintly like smoke, but not a good campfire smoke. Burnt fabric kind of smoke. Senri already apparently knows what they had gone to do, so...]
We ran into Ambition and Disorder.

That's all you need to know. [DON'T HOLD UP THEUHFHDSUF BRA!!! Sasuke's face actually turns gently red at the highest parts of his cheeks, and he quickly whips his head away so he doesn't have to look.] We found a hidden room in the armory.
It belongs to Cunning. While we were searching, Ambition and Disorder came in.
[This does not explain how they escaped. But anyway.
For a second, Sasuke pauses. Then he reaches up to pat his chest on one side. He reaches in his shirt to pull out a rolled up piece of paper. He looks from it straight at Taka.]
What the hell were those papers on the desk? You knew it was Cunning's room.

Oh my fucking god did you steal that too.
[ WHEN DID SASUKE TAKE THAT. WAS THE BRA NOT ENOUGH. DOES HE WANT TO KEEP KILLING TAKA OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
but he just... sighs. ]
I'm pretty sure it was notes on us. There weren't... names, or anything, but I could tell which were about me. Shit like which gods I've spoken to. It referenced a conversation I had with him.
[ thus, he knew it had to be cunning. ]

It would have been a waste if we left without something!
[They couldn't even leave with their DIGNITIES? They had to take a prize!!]
Shut up! We're burning that before we leave. Stop touching it. You're the one who's gross. [But he's unrolling the paper he has so he can look over it again. Hm.
It looks... like a map?] Have either of you spoken to the gods about who they were before and what they were like? Any who actually gave you answers.

... yeah. Bits and pieces mostly.
[ takaomi has already seen the map from when he checked out the desk earlier, but he'll get up so he can walk over. ]
I don't think the map is anywhere here, so... you think it might have to do with Cunning's past? Like how the West Wing right now is from Merriment's memories.
[ if senri looks at it, senri will see a map of a body of water, a pavilion, a bunch of little buildings, a forest, and what looks like a mountain, but it's all very messily drawn. ]

I don't know.
[A map seemed, at the time of their panic, to be the best thing to take. He doesn't know whether it's a place here or a place somewhere else. Or...] It could be a place he's planning to give us in the temple. [He hates this. It was supposed to be beneficial.]
I'm going to ask Ray to make a copy, and then I'm going to get an audience with Cunning. [He glances between the two of them.] They aren't gods. They're people. Like us.
Even now.
[rip sasuke has even less fear than before]
I know of one other room someone else found. I'm going to ask what they saw in it.

[ meanwhile taka is ready to die because they sure did manage to piss off three of the gods with the worst goddamn reputations. this is fine. ]
We saw Disorder without the mask.
[ he says this to explain why sasuke is being cryptic. and also to explain the blonde comment. ]
