[The feed is dark when it starts, but still light enough that one can see the ceiling shot of someone's room. There are noises like the bed is...well, being put to good use. Then a hand flies out over the view, landing on the 'berry

... What the hell are you doing?

[historyrabbit]

[Kanda might actually pick up on the different tone in his voice. Closer to when Lavi first joined the order way back when they were sixteen. Surprise registers on his face at first, mostly at being "found out" and he'll seem overly cheerful.]

Nothin a'all~ Why ya askin, Yu~?

[kanda_exorcist]

[Glare, he knows you're trying to piss him off so he doesn't keep asking questions!]

Who he hell were you talking to? Rabbit.

[historyrabbit]

[But he doesn't want to answer your questions~ He has to dig and think at what "Lavi" would say!

Giving a thoughtful hum.] Jus' tha lil' voice in my head tha' says ta annoy ya~ Tho' 'm no' sure how it knew ye'd be botherin me so soon~

[kanda_exorcist]

Don't pull this crap with me. I'm not deaf.

[He's smarter than he lets on most of the time, mister. Suspicious Kanda is suspicious.]

You haven't sounded like this in years...

[historyrabbit]

[There's just the briefest flash of a frown and Lavi glances off to the side as if consulting with a mental voice.

The grin comes back, but it's a more normal wattage than it was moments before.] Wha' ken I say, tha' place bothered me, yeah? 'm tryin ta snap back.

[Private]

[kanda_exorcist]

[He can't let other's see he's actually, you know, concerned and stuff.]

What happened?

[Private]

[historyrabbit]

[Aww. Worried about him, Kanda? Have a rather lengthy pause.]

'm no'...ready ta talk 'bout it yet, yeah? [Just like Kanda wasn't ready to talk about Itachi.] Give me a bit.

[Private]

[kanda_exorcist]

[Course he is, you're his buddy even if he won't say it out loud. Kanda gives an equally pregnant pause.]

Yeah.. [He nods, a small flash of pain through his face.] I...

When you're ready, I'll talk too.. [He swallows awkwardly, he wouldn't go into more detail then that.]

[Private]

[historyrabbit]

[Makes him feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. :D

Though, honestly, he hadn't meant to bring up memories of Itachi. So he just nods.]

'd rather do it in person then, yeah? When h-- 'm ready.

[Private]

[kanda_exorcist]

[It's on his mind constantly, it doesn't take much to trigger it. He notices that slip up, but won't push it. Not yet anyway.]

Yeah. Let me know if you need something.

[Private]

[historyrabbit]

[>: Aww. It'll get easier, maybe.

And here comes that almost painfully fake smile.] A hug? [Teasing~]

[Private]

[kanda_exorcist]

[He actually laughs at that. Let's blame the stress.]

I'll punch you if you try.

... You don't have to fake with me you know. [Oh the irony.]

[Private]

[historyrabbit]

Nah, with tha' one ye'd have ta be tha one ta start it, yeah?

[Ahahaha. Still, it gets the fake-edge to disappear and it drops into a slightly more real one as he lowers his head, eyes hidden from view.] Sorry, 's jus' a terrible habit, yeah?

[He's at the verge of telling Kanda that it's not Lavi in charge, since he's kinda already guessed. And really, it's getting at what's going to be changing about Lavi when he's fixed. Stuff will stop being fake.]

[Private]

[kanda_exorcist]

[Small smirk.] Yeah.

Just.. [He looks serious for a moment.] Just tell me I can trust you. That's all I need to know right now.

[He didn't mean it in an offensive way, he just needed to know whatever Lavi was going through it hadn't altered him too much.]

[Private]

[historyrabbit]

[Good luck trying to touch him at the moment, though. He's not having it.

It's real slight, the start from that comment. He gives the 'berry a side glance.]

In battle, ya mean? [A bit of a pause as he uses his memory to put himself in a fight in his current state. Softly.] Yeah. 'll be there.
