...still nothing yet. But if you keep paying me visits like this-- I think sex is one of your options to get more out of us. A tradeoff, you know? Feels like a weird system to me, but if it's how things work, then we're going to have to go with it.
[like, stick with chuuya if you want, hige, he doesn't mind--]
It's more like... if you want something specific out of one of us, you'll probably have to sleep with us for it? The particulars are a little fuzzy, but-- keep coming back, and I think that's going to help you out here.
If you haven't asked any of the others yet, it'll probably help more if you stick with me. I don't think it's really a collaborative effort.
[hige is well aware that he's cute and it's criminal!! but that doesn't actually manage to pull away from the sincerity in his smile that comes after that]
You've been very good at looking after me so far.
[hige got answers?? he's pleased tbh]
Please let me know if there's any way that I can return the favor - normally I'm the one doing the protecting, you know?
...yeah, to an extent. It's probably better that my subordinates aren't here, considering everything, but-- I'm used to keeping an eye on them. Having some of them around. It's a little weird to go drinking without Hirotsu and Kajii.
[his brows furrow there as he mutters, a little more to himself-]
Wonder what Anesan would have to say about all this, too.
no subject
[that gets a little grin out of him, fingers combing idly through higekiri's hair. fluffy...]
no subject
baby lioncat]Mm, that's true... but it's not like you chose for anything to happen this way, right?
You and... uh, Nathan will be safe on Thursday?
[or does he have to figure out how to break spells so he can protect his small npc friend]
no subject
Yeah, we ought to be fine. You don't have to worry about us too much, all right?
no subject
Mm, okay. Then I'll just look after my brother.
No leads on a way for me to protect him better...?
[he's going to ask this every time chuuya i'm sorry]
no subject
chuuya pauses again, thinking.]

no subject
I have to fucking coitus with you all in order to protect my brother?
[hm]
Okay, I guess.
[that makes as much sense to him as the rest of this place??]

[he'll just
let his head rest more heavily in chuuya's hand then]
Then please continue to take care of me.
no subject
I like to think I'm pretty good at that. You can call on me whenever you want.
[or just like let me know when you want to handwave bc that's still valid]
no subject

[he breathes out a little laugh at that, shaking his head.]
I'm used to trying to keep the people working for me safe, so I don't know much about being on the other end of that... but I'll let you know.
no subject
[so he'll be around for chuuya to ask favors from whenever, he thinks??]
Do you miss your - mm, men? Soldiers? Troops...?
[he doesn't know the modern word for it]
no subject
[his brows furrow there as he mutters, a little more to himself-]

no subject
... Anesan...? You have a sister?
[siblings....!!]
no subject
[he's grinning slightly as he continues-]
She used to scold me for calling her that, said she wasn't old enough for it.
no subject
Eh? And you do it anyway? What a mischievous younger brother.
[hige is so spoiled and does not realize]
