While I'm thankful you've decided to give me a home, mun, are you certain this is truly the right one? Surely you're aware of the things that will be required of me in that place. I trust you to make the right choice, but I would ask you to at least reconsider, as you have another place you wish to send me as well.

Please, don't over excert your self on my account. I'll be fine with whatever decision you make, even if it's not the one I may have made.

I would be more worried about what your brother's reaction will be.

Will he try to murder everyone who comes near you, I wonder?

[Oh shit he had been trying not to think about what Kamui's reaction would be.]

I'm afraid I've been trying not to think of what my brother's reaction will be. Although I do hope that he will be understanding of the situation I am being put into.

[That or he will be keeping a lot of people from getting murdered.]

Understanding isn't one of his stronger points.

Perhaps not. But he is capable of it. And I am sure if I ask it of him, he will leave those I.... he will leave the people I befriend alone.

[Nope, can not bring himself to talk about having sex with other people in front of Seishirou.]

Don't tell me they're planning on sending you here too.

Hello again, Kurogane-san. And yes, it looks as though she is. Once she's made her mind up about something, it's generally very hard to convince her to do otherwise.

Heh. . .how do yo think I ended up in this damn place? [Which is to say, he understands that 'mind made up' mentality all too well.] So, what about that brother of yours? Last I remember, he didn't seem to fond of leaving you to yourself.

They can be rather difficult to deal with sometimes, can't they? I'm sorry that you have to suffer through this as well.

[Kurogane don't mention Kamui he doesn't want to think about how many people his brother is going to threaten.] Us being separated is beyond my own or my brother's control. I can only hope that when and if he arrives, he'll be understanding of that. [Which is to say he just hopes no one gets maimed too terribly.]

[Your beloved twin will just be other here seething. It's his default state of mind. Don't mind him.]

[He can literally hear the shit hitting the fan.]

Kamui, please, I know it's going to be very difficult for you to do so, but try to be understanding, alright? Everyone is going to be in the same situation and I'm sure that everyone there is very kind.

Required of you? Poor Subaru-kun, under the siege of obligations.

These are quite different than what may have been expected from me in the past.

Loyalty? Purity? Skill? Obedience?

Having something be required of you is different than having something expected of you, Seishirou-san. If you fail to fulfill a requirement, something will be lost or a penalty may be acquired. while with expectations, you will be disappointing those who held them.

While I don't agree with the fourth, those are expectations I chose to keep.

But when emotional cost is added, a possessive family member can easily turn 'requirement' and 'expectation' to synonyms, isn't that so?

I won't allow this!

It's not like I've ever had much of a choice in the worlds I've been sent off too anyway. . .

[And he's all too aware of what your brother might do in a place like that, so really, he's a little concerned over the prospect. For you both.]

Huh. I guess if it's you, you might be able to do something about him in that case.

Kamui... it is going to happen whether you choose to allow it or not. Please, I know this situation won't be easy for either of us, but try not to make it harder than it already will be.

Still, the current situation of this world is troubling. Whether you chose to go there or not, I'm still sorry you've been placed into it.

[Don't worry, Kurogane. He'll keep his brother from killing everyone. ~~And never, ever tell him who he sleeps with.~~]

It's very kind of you to be so concerned, Kurogane-san. But I assure you, my brother won't do anything to harm anyone so long as I am there.

[...]

Perhaps. But in the end, it was still my choice. Therefore, I'm the one who has to deal with the consequences, whatever they may be.

How thoughtfully mature.

That's quite a compliment, coming from you.

Have I been remiss in noticing Subaru-kun's merits? How regrettable.

Perhaps. Or perhaps it's been so long since I have seen you that I've forgotten.

Someone so young can't afford such a bad memory.

Do things never slip your mind, Seishirou-san? Things that you didn't realize may have been important until the memory is already forgotten and someone reminds you of it?

[ Ah, Subaru-lecturing days, how he has missed them. ]

I'm afraid age and experience will show you that importance is conditional on interest. If something was uninteresting enough to be forgotten, attaching importance to it at a later time will happen because of... guilt.

[That was definitely of the only things he did minor miss about you, Seishirou.]

Compliments are nice to hear, but in the end, they're only pretty words. Therefore, they hardly interest me as much as your truth. I'd rather know what you truly think of me instead of what you think I wish to hear.

You are asking for discourtesy.

Is that all you have to show towards me?

Subaru-kun, could that truly be? Why, I hardly know you.

No. I don't believe it could. Surely if I did, I would have allowed Kamui's opinion of you to sway me by now.

It's quite practical of you to learn compliments that can double as insults. I'm impressed.

And here I was afraid I had fallen out of practice.

I hadn't thought fear was a residual option for you.

Fearing that you've fallen out of practice with something and fearing is someone are quite different things.

Fearing you is something I've never been given reason to do.

Now we're very sure I've been remiss.

You wish for me to fear you?

Call it professional pride.

Of course. How foolish of me to think we had moved beyond that.

Carrying too much resentment can't be good for a young heart.

Being able to say one thing when you really mean another is hardly an admirable quality, Seishirou-san.

I suffered under the delusion that Subaru-kun didn't care so much to be admired.

Being respected and admired are two different things.
