I don't expect this place to give us much peace, so-- it isn't a bad idea to simply make our own, where we can.

[he lets himself relax a bit (though not entirely), watching jae-ha's hands as he plays.]

Is your new partnership working out well?

[alttitude]

It is. ♥

[he enjoys being sousei's partner too much, maybe

but - ]

Are you asking because you sincerely want to know, or because of the bad blood between the two of you?

[look sousei straight up admitted to not wanting shirasu to have knives]

[wagashis]

Mostly the former, because of the latter? But it's relieving to see that you get along with that man better than I do, at least.

[not really, but he's not going to say that.]

[alttitude]

I can see why he'd be difficult.

[sousei sure is very

sousei]

Are you two taking to just avoiding each other here then?

[wagashis]

For the most part, yes. It seems to be working well so far.

[most of the time.

they just need someone else they both want to shade and Then they can speak.]

And it seems to be a mutual enough agreement, as far as I can tell.

[alttitude]

I can't say - he hasn't told me much, tight-lipped as he is. But I suppose...

[ . . . ]

I'd hate to see anything happen to either of you, so if this is the best method for that...

[wagashis]

Why wouldn't it be the best method? All of us here are the biggest threats to each other, generally speaking; of course it makes sense for me to avoid someone who dislikes me.

[he's just out here trying to not get stabbed?]

[alttitude]

I feel like dislike is a very petty reason for murder.

[wagashis]

It's a poor motivation, yes, but I would rather not put my trust in the thought that it would be too petty.

[alttitude]

... I suppose it makes sense to lack faith in someone you also find distasteful.

[wagashis]

Do you believe it should be any different?

[alttitude]

Well - I believe one way or another, I'm meant to have faith in my partner.

Don't you feel the same for Belph?

[wagashis]

Of course I do-- and I wouldn't begrudge you your faith in your own partner.

But I cannot trust him the way you might.
