savetheearth on dubious echoes

[ex_elude798]

Alright, I've had a lot of time on my hands.

And I still don't get the purpose of that damned outfit.

What's the functional benefit of a suit made of some kind of spandex and thigh-high boots? Who the hell makes that? Why would I wear it? Is there some kind of tactical advantage? Anything?

I can't think of a single use that wouldn't be better filled by something else.

So why would I have it?

That's pretty impressive.

[Got to admit]

[ex_elude798]

Just not used to it.

Well, excepting my family.

[ex_elude798]

We seem pretty different to me.

But you know more about that guy than I do.

[He has to grant that obvious reality]

[ex_elude798]

That's what strength is for. Pretty straightforward.

[ex_elude798]

That's crap.

[That line of thinking, that is. Suzaku will forever remain blunt]

[ex_elude798]

My father was that kind of guy.

[And he's quite obviously bitter about it]

Could never understand how an adult didn't get something that straightforward.

[ex_elude798]

We didn't really have one.

There were expectations, I was to meet them. And stay the hell out of his way.

[He shrugs, as though that lessens his harsh tone. Naturally, it doesn't]

[ex_elude798]

What an ass.

[He draws a very big red line between "father" and "dad," that's for damn sure]

Since I was the only one, I guess it was just that inferiority wasn't acceptable.

[ex_elude798]

...What the hell-

[That sentence halts abruptly because no, he actually doesn't want clarification for that]

Here I thought my father got around.

[ex_elude798]

I've got a younger brother by four years.

[Half-brother, granted, but he doesn't see the necessity in specifying that]

[ex_elude798]

[He tips his head back slightly to point out the faint bruise along his jaw.

If anything he seems unbothered by it]

[ex_elude798]

I didn't anticipate it.

He was upset because I left the hospital.

[See all Kururugis are entirely sensible]

[ex_elude798]

I was taking up space better used by someone else.

[Yep]
