Too Tired For This

[lighteningcount]

Dear Mun,

What in the holy living hell do you think you're doing?

We both know that you do not have time for a full-time game. You're working over 40 hours a week, sewing four new costumes in two months, and have your volunteer group work.

You don't have time for this. Kindly stop looking. And the excuse 'I have my phone' doesn't work.

Please stop.

Sincerely,
Zechs Merquise

Milliardo!

[Yes, that is Puru smiling and waving at you. What shall you do?]

[unseeingjustice]

Seems like someone like you should be used to that sort of work load, Merquise.

[lighteningcount]

I've taken it easy the past few years, Chang.

[lighteningcount]

Hello?

[unseeingjustice]

[Raises an eyebrow, looking somewhat towards him but not perfectly at him. Those eyes? Have a rather suspicious silver sheen to them.]

I'm surprised. It doesn't seem like you.

[lighteningcount]

[watches him carefully[]

People change, it's the nature of things. That and my doctor told me if I didn't take it easy, my blood pressure would never lower.

[unseeingjustice]

[Can't really do the same. Blindness does tend to throw a wrench into casual observation.]

I've heard similar, but I don't put much stock in most doctors.

[lighteningcount]

I can understand why.

[unseeingjustice]

They tend not to be terribly useful.

[Makes a vague gesture to his eyes.]

Certain Preventer agents aside, of course.

[lighteningcount]

Well, the doctor that told me to take it easy was Doctor Po.

[unseeingjustice]

Hm. A competent doctor at least.

[lighteningcount]

My personal doctor is also very competent.

[unseeingjustice]

Would this be the moment to say I'm pleased for you?

[lighteningcount]

I do suppose it would be.

[unseeingjustice]

I take it that you and Noin have returned from Mars, then.

Unless you're another one of those alternate universe ones.

[lighteningcount]

I suppose it's an alternate universe for me.

[unseeingjustice]

They're taking some time to get used to.

But it isn't the first change I've adjusted to.

[lighteningcount]

I've been around enough to understand.

For me, Treize is still alive.

[unseeingjustice]

Alive...

[He goes quiet.]

I wonder if I'll run into him.

There are things I need to ask him.

[lighteningcount]

Just hope it's not my Treize.

[smiles fondly, fiddling with a ring]

[unseeingjustice]

[That ring? He can't see it.]

Oh? Why is that?

[lighteningcount]

We've been together for ten years, married for almost two years and have four children.

[unseeingjustice]

[Is visibly surprised by that. Very different from his world. But still gives Zechs a somewhat questioning look.]

I'm happy for you, though I'm uncertain why the fact suggests it would be a unfortunate to speak to him.

[lighteningcount]

Yes it would be... [looks down] I don't think he's ever met you.

[unseeingjustice]

[Puzzled.]

Yet you have.
