[ he doesn't bother to keep up that conversation. there's no point in blaming themselves for what happened. it's not their fault. ]

I'm sure. I'm so mad that this happened. That she killed Absinthe, hurt you, and... [ his gaze falls aside. ] W- What happened after I... ah, died...?

...

[flatly, since there isn't really anything else to say]

She ordered me to kill myself, so she'd win.

[ what

the

f u c k. ]

What. [ it's not a question so much as it is abject fucken disbelief. he's going to try to hug her again, but only to keep from looking as absolutely ~~pissed~~ upset about this as he is. ]

[Mechanically moves her arms around him again, wrapping more tightly this time.]

It's probably not worse than if things had continued that way with just the two of us.

[ he holds her just as tight. ]

I was thinking about that earlier and afraid, honestly, of what could have possibly transpired. [ so, yeah, death was probably the 'best' outcome, though he still hates that maki had to do it herself. what the actual fuck. ]

At least I could make it quick. Quick deaths are my specialty.

[ and he didn't think he'd ever be thankful for something like that but he is. ] Are you going to do anything?

[She takes a slow breath.]

I won't do nothing. She needs to take responsibility.

...But I won't act rashly. I can't do that two days after I promised Intensity I wouldn't do something stupid again.

[ and this might sound a bit strange coming from him. ] I didn't expect nothing. [ he's not here to tell anybody what they can and can't do. he might normally try, but this... not only did it involve more than just him, but it was also ( frankly ) disgusting. ] Does he know what happened?

Yeah, I told him. He was there to help me after the game.

If I didn't have such an overwhelming urge to get the hell out of there I would have wanted to check on you, but I'm glad he was there for you.

Mm, you had to take care of yourself first. It's fine.

I do hope he doesn't do something stupid, though. I really didn't want to put more on him, after... everything.

I don't think he will. Do something stupid, that is. [ but he still might do something. ] He doesn't need to resort to violence to be able to hit someone where it hurts.

...Maybe so.

[ he just makes a sound in response. ]

If there's anything I can do let me know.

[ he doubts there's much, but he'd still like to put it out there. he cares about you, maki. ]

...

[she's quiet for a bit, but]

...Do you want to do something nice, later? With all three of us, maybe? With King, I mean. Not today, I think we've all been busy enough, but...

[ he isn't expecting the invitation, but it does get an immediate smile. ]

I'd like that, Maki. [ he gives her a nod and, yeah, not today is fine by him. ] And I bet King will too. It'll be nice. Fun.
