week 2, saturday, post-trial

[wagashis]

[he isn't exactly looking for jae-ha, but when they cross paths--]

There you are. I- suppose I should take a moment to apologize, for suspecting you earlier.

[he's out here trying to stay on jae-ha's good side.]

[alttitude]

[ . . . well.]

No, it was my mistake - I didn't even realize that his cut might have been different.

You were right to say something to him.

[wagashis]

It wasn't very likely that he'd sustain the same injury twice; I can't fault you much for not thinking anything of it.

[a sigh, and-]

I only hope he was honest about that gift, and that it works.

[alttitude]

.... I think we all hope for that.

[Jae-ha pauses then.]

Even if I can't understand that type of self-sacrificing thing... I think it's supposed to be brave.

[wagashis]

It's meant to be, but they usually end up leaving more troubles behind than they solve with that sort of act.

[like a certain man he knew, and a certain brother of his. he finds anything but jae-ha to look at.]

But perhaps at least one good thing will come of this one.

[alttitude]

... so in the end, all we can do is wait again.

[Which.

He always hates.

More than anything.]

[wagashis]

It's getting tiring, isn't it?

[he is a patient enough person, but-- being trapped and having so much outside of his influence is absolutely not helping.]

[alttitude]

It's been tiring.

[That much he'll admit - and the sincere feeling of annoyance flares up.

And then it's tempered yet again.]

... but that sentiment doesn't really change anything, does it?

[wagashis]

Sentiment alone rarely does. It only changes things if you let it guide your actions.

[a pause, and a faint smile.]

Though I don't suppose I need to tell you not to act recklessly, all the same.

[alttitude]

... me? Reckless? I think I'm many things, but not that.

[that first week aside,,]

[wagashis]

[we're ignoring the first week,,]

You do seem more reasonable than that. As I said, I doubt it's a warning you need-- but it never hurts to say it anyway, does it?

I would hate to see anything happen to you, is all, especially with the way things have been lately.

[alttitude]

[ . . . . ]

That's very nice of you to say.

[He just.

Didn't really expect it.]

[wagashis]

[he's trying to be nice here let him live]

You're pleasant company, and besides-- I couldn't learn from you if you weren't here, could I?

[it's just a shame he's with sousei :/]

[alttitude]

... I suppose. Were you seeking out a lesson?
