Are you expecting me to complain? Fine, then. As you wish.

[... oh. what is this? is Soubi angry?]

You shouldn't have waited. I should be there now to fight for Ritsuka.

It is unacceptable that he has had to wait this long. It is even more unacceptable that he has been hurt because I was not there.

[why, yes. yes, Soubi is angry.]

... no. It does not matter that I was the one who made Ritsuka cry. I am sure that, regardless, Seimei would have me protect him in a place such as that. I am aware that it will likely be my first assignment.

Wherever he goes, I will follow. [said with the tone of You know this.

but which "he" is Soubi referring to? it isn't something he's giving much thought to.]

[ Normally he'd insist that, no, he can take care of himself well enough without Soubi.

But. Well. ] It's not your fault you weren't there. I shouldn't have gone off alone. And if anything, it's my mun you should be mad at.

[theophorous]

[... Ritsuka.

Soubi needs to calm down now.]

She is the one who put you in danger, but she is not the one responsible for my absence.

[sacrifights]

It's not like there's anything you can do about it now.

[theophorous]

That doesn't make it okay.

[sacrifights]

No, it doesn't, but-- Just get here. Okay?

[belovedbrother]

Don't assume what I will tell you to do.

After all, haven't you hurt Ritsuka yourself?

[theophorous]

[Soubi had said it more to comfort himself than anything else. In his anger, he hadn't considered others' responses to his post.

He lowers his gaze.]

Yes, sir.

...

I was selfish.

[belovedbrother]

[In other words, he spoke before thinking. Seimei is hardly tolerant of that.]

Selfish and predictable. Should I trust you to protect Ritsuka?

[The fact of the matter is that both he and Ritsuka need Soubi's protection. He intends to make sure that Soubi needs him more.]

I don't think I can.

[theophorous]

[... well. he deserves this, he tells himself, even as he feels his heart flutter painfully.

his gaze drops even further. what does he say? for a moment, he's too afraid of what will happen, regardless of what words he uses.

when he does speak, it's very quiet.] I'm sorry.

[belovedbrother]

What was that? [He heard it perfectly well.] Don't mumble.

[eternalgreed]

You sound like you could use a drink. Why not pull up a chair?

[theophorous]

[........... what the hell are you]

Who are you?

[eternalgreed]

My name is Quark and I'm just a humble businessman. If theres anything you need, you just let me know. My prices are very reasonable.

[theophorous]

[. . .]

Do you have any chupa?

[steerszeshoopuf]

I'm shure your friend will be waiting for you

[theophorous]

[............................... and what

mr...... frog.... person...??]

He... has said as much, yes.

[steerszeshoopuf]

So then there is nothing to get sho sherioush about! Its poshibibile you will be together before you know it!

screams this is so beautiful

[theophorous]

[....... poshibibile.........]

I do. But that does not excuse my absence prior to that point.

[barebacking]

Fighting for someone... well, that sounds very sweet of you.

I am certain that you will be most welcome in our den of the mad.

[theophorous]

To fight for another is what I was made for.

[why yes his phrasing is kind of weird there and no he doesn't really seem to notice]

... Thank you. [that's what he's supposed to say to that right]

[barebacking]

I feel the same way.

Oh, you're very welcome. You shall fit right in. Even if you are late, you can make up for it, yes?

[theophorous]

[You do? ... probably not really, though. NOOOOBODY KNOWWWS THE TROUBLE I'VE SEEEEEEEN-- er]

I will have no other choice but to do so.

[sacrifights]

[ seriously yaha, you're weirder than soubi and that is saying something. ]
