MURMUR | ENCOUNTERS

salaryman: (how can they see)

[personal profile] salaryman 2026-02-16 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
How should I put it?

[ Hmm! ]

When I start to think of how I'm going to explain what happened, I'm afraid it sounds very silly. [ But he's already wasting Seishirou's time - so why not waste it some more? ] I thought to show my fealty to Kamui would be best done by breaking up some building.

I wasn't able to do much, however. [ Another soft laugh, strained. ] I continue to be impressed by the work others have done before me.
salaryman: (give 'em an act)

[personal profile] salaryman 2026-02-16 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Someone might've come along, but then again, maybe not?

[ Hard to say? If Kamui wasn't real -- ]

Lack of sleep and sudden overtime does lead to a difficulty in remembering little things.
salaryman: (how can they see)

[ A soft sigh. ]

What a relief.

[ Ah. ]

That isn't very nice to say, I suppose.

[ Another pause. ]

I should've come crying to you sooner.
salaryman: (and the reaction)

[personal profile] salaryman 2026-02-16 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
About?
salaryman: (give 'em a show)

[personal profile] salaryman 2026-02-16 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ ..........?

..........! ]
salaryman: (how can they see)

3/3

[personal profile] salaryman 2026-02-16 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry.

Where are my manners? How are you? Have you seen anything unpleasant?

[ He should be more concerned about Seishirou?? ]
salaryman: (what if your hinges all are rusting?)

[personal profile] salaryman 2026-02-16 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah - sorry.

I'm only asking those questions to be polite.
salaryman: (what if your hinges all are rusting?)

[personal profile] salaryman 2026-02-16 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Aha - I'm embarrassed how transparent I am to you.

It makes me feel shy after all my crying.
salaryman: (with lots of flash in it)

[personal profile] salaryman 2026-02-16 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Gasp. ]

Well, yes.

[ Anyway - since he is starting to feel bad about wasting his time, but he does feel like they're "getting along" so it's hard to give up some quality time. ]

But to finally answer you question, no, I'm not too concerned about much now that issue has been put to rest.
salaryman: (and the reaction)

[personal profile] salaryman 2026-02-16 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ As worrying as worrying is, he is reassured that Kamui is not present. While he acted foolish and silly, he is still alive. While he's anemic and weakened, the city is filled with people who want others to survive. He'll live on - or he won't. Anxiety creeps up and palms may be sweaty, but he reassures himself about these two things. He'll die or he won't.

He hopes to not die, because he wants to see the end of all the machinations - Sleep's, One's and his band, the Vessels, everyone's. It seems only fair; he missed the Final Battle so fate and destiny owes him this much.

But he does pause at what Seishirou has said - and that brings a sobering feeling that he isn't quite sure what to do with. ]


Really?

That's quite disquieting to hear.
salaryman: (what if your hinges all are rusting?)

[personal profile] salaryman 2026-02-17 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, well --

[ Hm - does he have anything to add. ]

-- I'm still alive.
salaryman: (and the reaction)

[personal profile] salaryman 2026-02-17 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
He's so clever and educated.

How could I ever hope to be?
salaryman: (razzle dazzle them)

[personal profile] salaryman 2026-02-17 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Huh. The first two points are funny to think about, but the last one makes him tilt his head just slightly. The Sakurazukamori really keep a close eye on their enemies. But that makes sense. Probably.

His shoulders bounce as he chuckles to himself. Feeling the anxiety roll around his shoulders in an uncomfortable manner; the sweatiness of his palms still is uncomfortable. But he can laugh and that is marvelous. ]


I appreciate your confidence in me. [ Another smile. ]

I suppose I've cried on your shoulder enough, hm?

[ He lightly (though frantic in the light touch) drumming his index finger against one knuckle. ] If you ever feel the need to break out a good sob, my shoulder is always ready -- along with a good and hardy pat on the back.
salaryman: (with lots of flash in it)

[personal profile] salaryman 2026-02-17 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Please don't say thing like that... that really will make me cry.

[ But you know -- he squints at nothing in particular and wonders if he should share his "revelation" that he had earlier. He frowns immediately afterward, feeling reluctant, but he also thinks it will be fun to say. So why not say it? ]

Anyway! I already decided I'd die for Subaru and you, so don't feel like it isn't mutual in some very small way.

[ He likes how he starts that statement with an "anyway," and feels another smile hit him past the myriad of unfun emotions plaguing him. ]
