his mun caught up on recent chapters...

[benotloved]

Oh please spare me.

[ He sounds.... displeased. Or perhaps just tired. Or both. ]

This shouldn't change anything.

[ A pause. ]

...and it's certainly not a reason you should start playing with me again.

How uncute.

[benotloved]

No, its not, I guess.

Not like I wanted to be 'cute'.

[ethical_anomie]

Shouldn't you?

[benotloved]

I don't know - Should I?

[ethical_anomie]

Cute things aren't cast aside as easily.

[benotloved]

...right. I'll remember that.

[ethical_anomie]

Then, what do we say to the person dedicating you their time, instead?

[benotloved]

That would be... thank you.

[ethical_anomie]

Cute people smile more.

Again, please.

[markedbeloved]

Watching you fight is informative.

[benotloved]

Riiiiight.

Thank you.

[benotloved]

Gee. At least one of us is enjoying it.

Give up, you're not going to learn anything.

[markedbeloved]

I already have~

[benotloved]

Tch-- Oh? And what would that be?

[markedbeloved]

What makes you think I'd tell you?

I'm going to apologize for Ritsuka now

[in_loveless_memory]

[He knows all about the recent chapters and what Seimei did to Nisei, but he doesn't care. Nisei will always hold a place of hate in Ritsuka's mind.]

Why would anyone want to play you?

[ethical_anomie]

...disgusting. You've done well.

A little more, and even that man will like you.

[benotloved]

Of course you wouldn't.

[ Nisei rolls his eyes in an annoyed fashion. ]

Heheh no apologies necessary :>

[benotloved]

[ Nisei prefers that sort of treatment over any form of sympathy so you'd think it would show but no - he still sounds annoyed... just less than he would in other circumstances. ]

Don't know. Can't imagine why.

[in_loveless_memory]

Oh look, we actually agree on something then.

[markedbeloved]

You're catching on.

[benotloved]

Imagine that. There's a first and last time for everything.

[benotloved]

Don't treat me like I'm stupid!

[ Slow might have been a better word for it, but whatever. ]

[markedbeloved]

You're the one who that said it, Nisei.

[in_loveless_memory]

Yes, I'm sure it will be the last time, especially if you disappoint Seimei in the battle with Moonless. [Ritsuka isn't an idiot. He may willingly blind himself to his brother's actions but he's no fool on what it means for Nisei to fail.]
