Let's never go through that again. For one thing, I would rather not put all of you who rescued me to the trouble of fetching me. (Except for Greed. I don't care about Greed.) For another, I really don't think I like being paraded before a group of magi.

Which reminds me, if any magi are reading this?

Kindly fuck off. You won't touch any of my beloved, understood?

Comments

Not too late to be in the RL, heaven knows they haven't even started towards Issei yet.

Birkin! Of course I am, since you came.

Oh for me? There's no chance I'll be able to tag it and Lata's still at Expo so @_@

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

Don't mention it.

Assumed, then.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

What can I possibly do to repay you for putting yourself in danger for my sake?

;3; thanks

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

Not mentioning it.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

...There isn't anything else you want that I can give? Anything at all?

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

That would require me wanting something.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

All people want. It's in their nature. If you have truly escaped the desires of the mortal world, then please teach me, sensei.

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

I wanted you safe. And I got that. There's something about my daring rescue I don't need people realizing, so I don't want you to even mention my involvement.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Eh? What is that? ...Or it's a secret from me as well?

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

I can't tell you. Sorry.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I see... I would trust you with anything, but I suppose that only applies in one direction.

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

It's all right! I suppose it's in the nature of your work that you keep things hidden. It's not a comment on our friendship.

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

Good. Because if so, I'd be a comment on Wesker and my friendship as well. A man needs to have his secrets.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I wasn't judging you in the slightest.

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear it.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I should do something to celebrate my freedom.

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

I'm not taking you to a bar again; I got in trouble last time.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

That was because you snuck out of your home to do it. If you'd been honest, it wouldn't be a problem.

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

Do you know how hard honesty is for me? I've been lying about a lot of things for years, not least of all, one big thing that I was lying to myself about. It's a habit to lie first, make up for it later if I get caught.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Let me help you. We'll practice being honest, together. It'll be like rehabilitation.

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

I'm still not telling you about this.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I meant for our outing. I told you already, I respect your right to have secrets.

...if you ever fail a lock, I'm still going to read it, however. Out of concern for you.

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

Of course you will. So will everyone else. And when that day comes, they'll all get to find out.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Is it that bad?
