[The camera clicks on, and Issei's face immediately comes into view. He looks tired and worse for wear, but his eyes are the same old blue that they usually are, and when he lets out a sigh and starts to speak, it's with his own voice.]

Could someone tell me why I've been unconscious for a week?

((Tatsumi supernaturally-powered bitchslapped possessed!Issei into submission. Issei has absolutely no memory of what happened while he was possessed. Any interaction with possessed!Issei we didn't get to may be assumed. Due to computer troubles, I'm making sure to post this now: comments might be a bit later.))

I don't like to be a burden, but I suppose I should accept it.

[badasssecretary.livejournal.com]

Only because you might need help know doesn't make you a 'burden'. When your friends need help you think about them as burdens?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

No, of course not. I'm happy to do anything I can to help.

[badasssecretary.livejournal.com]

Then why don't you let them do the same?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

It's different.

[badasssecretary.livejournal.com]

Why?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I like helping people. It's natural for me to do so.

[badasssecretary.livejournal.com]

in that case, you should understand that it's natural for other people to look after and care about for their friends. Why have no right to stop them from doing so.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

...

I understand.

[badasssecretary.livejournal.com]

Truly?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. Yes, of course.

[badasssecretary.livejournal.com]

You are pouting.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I am not!

[badasssecretary.livejournal.com]

Would I lie?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Most likely.

1/2

[badasssecretary.livejournal.com]

Most...

2/2

[badasssecretary.livejournal.com]

I don't lie.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

But I don't pout. Clearly we are at an impasse.

[badasssecretary.livejournal.com]

Not so clearly.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I don't pout and you don't lie. It's an impasse, is it not?

[badasssecretary.livejournal.com]

[he sighs.] Fine, fine...

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I'm glad we have it resolved.

[badasssecretary.livejournal.com]

For now, but I will still keep and eye on you. Me and my shadows.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

That isn't precisely the most reassuring thing you could have said.

[badasssecretary.livejournal.com]

Sometime it is, trust me.
