[after sending that second pic, the next time tonbokiri opens a door, he'll find it doesn't lead where he was expecting. instead, it opens into a large, lavish office, with one fully windowed wall that has 3 chairs arranged nearby.
chuuya's perched in one, and unfortunately, he's still a little tipsy from his trial drinking? he gestures for tonbokiri to enter, though, indicating the closest chair to his own.]
Good to finally see you. Come in, sit-- should I get you a drink?
[ he's smiling back at least as he accepts, hands encircling the cup. ]
The others have all attested to your help so I suppose it had been more the timing than anything else. [ HE REALLY WASN'T GONNA MAKE APHRO WEEK THEIR FIRST MEETING AFTER ALL............ ]
I figured I would take a moment to ask if you knew anything about this. [ he takes out his letter from Kanesan from wherever he stashed it ] He asked me to "take care of the rest" and while I'm sure there plenty you cannot say...
[ he absolutely hesitates for a beat but since there’s nothing incriminating in there it’s eventually handed over. Don’t mind him while he just takes a sip or three of sake in the meantime ]
[ he sounds just as fond while tucking the paper away. ]
And thus, it falls on me to keep his mission going. [ ...except doesn't this makes him vice-captain of their unit...? i'm not enough of a braincell for this. ]
I might not know you, but he seemed like he had a good head on his shoulders. If you're who he's asking to keep an eye on the rest... I think you'll be fine.
[kanesan, a fav sword...]
If you need our help, we'll try, but just know there's a lot that we can't hand out. You're going to have to work for certain kinds of information or assistance.
[ IT'S FINE.... HE'LL JUST AAAA VERY LOUDLY ON THE INSIDE ]
I had thought as much and Junpei had mentioned similar to me before. I only wished to know if there was anything required of me to help.
But, if not... please let me know if there is anything else I can do in return. [ since it feels.. like he's taking advantage?? he'll make treats or something if he has to. ]
[oh, this one's a good guy too... he kind of feels the urge to headpat, they've seemed to like that, but tonbokiri is so damn tall?]
There's nothing right now, no-- besides visiting all of us more. We'll let you know if there's anything else we have for you to work on if you ever need anything from us.
[it's because he's good? chuuya looks satisfied, leaning back in his chair again.]
All of you have been.
...mm, speaking of the rest of you, though. How's Nikkari holding up? I'd ask him, but I sort of get the feeling I'd get less of a real answer that way.
[another one of the swords might be a better source, he thinks, and tonbo is the one who's here.]
[ no wonder all the others talk of Chuuya so fondly. ]
Nikkari...? Despite the goo he had been unable to remove, and perhaps being more confused than he lets on about the hand that is yet is not his..... He has been well.
[Chuuya gestures for Tonbokiri to go ahead and take a seat; he's sitting sideways in his own chair to make room for his fluffy fox tail, and he's abandoned his hat because of the ears.]
[ you know, knowing that the hosts are also affected by whatever's happening never really registered until he saw the physical manifestations.....? give him a moment because this? is adorable? what a fox ]
It's certainly been an interesting day.
[ dealing with vertical wings without taking out the whole hallway and everything in the middle has been................. An Experience. ]
Ah, but I do come with a question of one of the mission items I received. I was hoping you would be able to tell me more about it.
