[Hmmmmm!! He lets Chuuya drink for a long time before his own glass is empty, and he sets it aside carefully.]

You know, I'm a little curious about that business of yours. Other worlds have differences and all that, but do executives usually have anything they'd call a "partner?"

[He stands up from the table, straightening out his clothes.] Well, but it doesn't matter here, does it? What's really on my mind is whether or not Kunikida knows about you and Dazai.

[doublesmall]

He was one, too. Before he left.

[Ah, there's that sullen look again. Another half-truth; they were never executives at the same time, Dazai had outranked him before his defection, but Chuuya can only hope that deflects the question well enough.]

And like I said, I didn't know until now that they were even familiar. It never came up, you know?

[luxuriant]

I see, I see! So he has no idea.

[Zelos isn't about to tell him, but he doesn't make it clear either way in front of Chuuya. He doesn't make a lot clear in front of him. He's had his wine, Chuuya is healed a good bit, and now he can rest and enjoy the bottle. Zelos claps him lightly on the shoulder as he steps past him.]

I've had a good drink, but I've got to get back, or he'll be worrying about you until I do. Try not to drink yourself into a coma, Chuuya.
