[... Sousei sighs. He can't blame Jae-ha for being tempted by it, honestly. Too many people have already died.]
I will find out. In some way... I will continue to ask until I am satisfied with the answer. That is the least I can do in a situation like this.
[But he still doesn't like it. He understands the incentive, understands that he wants everyone to live too--but not at the cost of everyone dying, too.]
[ . . . it's something, if nothing else. Jae-ha just nods and goes to sit on the bed, leaving his place at the wall. He's tired, and there's only so much standing around he can do after that trial.]
... I know you will. I'll ask around and see what I can find outside of you all.
Jae-ha's exhausted, absolutely. There's a tiredness in his veins that's rather impossible to shake, but that still manages to get him to laugh in the quiet of their room.]
... you really aren't a very honest person either.
Ah, I like to choose difficult paths - but this is a new level, even for me.
You give Captain Gi-gan a run for her money in strictness. The new person I follow is a 16-year-old girl but at least that makes her painfully honest, rather than finding honesty to be painful.

[ . . . and he sighs.]
I trust you.
[one way or another]
no subject
Yes, well. [he trusts Jae-ha too. That's the only reason he's sharing, at all.]
You know that it is not simply you.
[aka he trusts you too, but it's so roundabout.]
no subject
Well.
That's something, I guess.
[yeah, that sure was roundabout]
no subject
It is what it is. There's no need to dwell on it.
no subject
[does this sound familiar, sousei]
It was a rather touching sentiment. I may have to keep it with me forever, so long as I don't forget the order of your words.
no subject
...Yes, well, do what you want. It doesn't matter to me.

What, exactly, are you trying to say?
[A DIFFICULT PATH--]
no subject
And yet here I am.
[stuck with sousei,,]
no subject
Maybe being honest with someone like you is the actual problem, and what makes it so troublesome.
no subject
[fake]
no subject
It doesn't matter We've made it plain our stance on sharing information, so I don't see the need to repeat it overly much.
no subject
[ . . . ]
Rebecca hasn't seemed to change her behavior toward me - neither has Akechi. Am I right in guessing they don't know you've told me?
no subject
[This is how Sousei protects Jae-ha--he lets Jae-ha make his own decisions.]
no subject
[the others he'd shared, sure, but]
no subject
[But he figures that like.
Jae-ha will tell him eventually.]
no subject
no subject
[aka no, he doesn't want to guess, he's not interested in playing a game like that.]
no subject
You're so rude.
no subject
So? What is it?
no subject
That wasn't your guess?
[because
it was right]
no subject
[SERIOUSLY?
Oh my god now he's looking really amused.]
I fail to see what you could be calling me rude for, then. [Oh no now he's smug.]
no subject
[YOU'RE TOO OBVIOUS, SOUSEI]
no subject
So you are the Ugly Duckling. They are certainly having a joke at your expense, then.
