[The first part just has him laughing in a knowing way BUT THEN SUDDENLY IT GETS CUTE
HOW DARE YOU]
It's nice, isn't it? It makes you feel like you've really done something well. [But he doesn't want Jae-ha to have to linger on the dead when he's trying to provide a pleasant distraction, so--]
Just tell him that there might be something that he can't do, and then watch him do it, and he'll naturally make that face. It's infuriating and devastatingly handsome.
But I don't think there's anything he can't do. ...Unless it's something like "wear your hair in braided pigtails" or "smile nicely at everyone for an entire day", and then he wouldn't do it even to prove me wrong, right?
He's still learning music. He's annoying persistent once he starts, but he doesn't really know much about the arts. That's how I saw it the first time.
[jae-ha understands entirely. and he's actually pretty glad that souji knows so much]
In any case, Souji just laughs like a punk, waving his hand.]
Oh, not at all! Kondou-san is a very sweet and fun man. He spoils me a lot! [DON'T SOUND SO PROUD OF IT.] I think Sousei-san is more like my vice-commander, but even then, he's much more composed.
[To be fair, being more composed than Hijikata isn't hard.]

Have you seen Sousei-san smile yet?
no subject
I have! He has a nice one.
There's normally some cockiness or smugness clouding it though.
no subject
[Because he somehow... hasn't managed to see the smug and cocky side of Sousei in private...... Probably because he's an earnest soul and not Jae-ha.]
no subject
[bad taste]
no subject
[i hate this BUT SO DOES SOUJI.]
Come get me the next time he makes a face like that. I want to see it, too!

... he told me that he trusts you. I can see why.
no subject
[A SIGH. He'll just have to leave the hot smugness for Jae-ha to enjoy, apparently...
Though at the statement, he sure does BEAM!! Even if Jae-ha's not facing him to see it, it's the kind of expression that's audible.]
We come from similar times in the same country, so it's easier for me to understand him, I think. I trust and like him a lot.
[Sousei reminds him of his fellow men... He's a Good Soul and Souji is very fond of him.]
no subject
Oh? Were you a soldier too?
I feel like he appeals greatly to those of us who are used to taking commands.
no subject
[Soldier, captain of a ragtag rudeass police militia, same diff. Souji seems to agree with that statement in either case, laughing amiably.]
I think you're right about that, too. He's very familiar in that way, you know?
no subject
[because sousei is so similar to gi-gan
it kinda hurts sometimes]

Is that so? Well I'm glad - you seem like the type of person that people would want to treat kindly.
no subject
[A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT HIM DEAD, JAE-HA!!!]
Kondou-san has been looking out for me since I was very young, though.
[ie he's contractually obligated to spoil Souji.]
no subject
[he's curious, is this like how he and gi-gan were?? or even moreso?]
no subject
[FAMILY FRIENDS and then weird tragedies and surprise "here take this child" moments, it's a wild ride.]
no subject
It sounds nice - to be able to spend such a long time with such a warm person.
no subject
[HE LOVES KONDOU-SAN!!!!! almost as much as dana does]
You would really like him, I think. He's the sort of person that gets along with everyone he meets.
