[letheal]

[Takaya's been making an afternoon walk from Grincat to Twinklebat a part of his routine. One could say it's about to pay off.

If one was inclined to think that shouting in the streets is a good thing, anyway.]

Naoe!

[loyallyobsessed]

[Turns at the familiar, shouting voice.]

Takaya-san?

[letheal]

[Then he'll be meeting Takaya's fist face-on. He was already attacking even before Naoe moved, rage guiding his swing.]

Bastard!

[loyallyobsessed]

[-Ow. Staggers and winces with pain.]

[letheal]

[Doesn't push the advantage; he's still tense with anger but it's a frozen rage now. Waits, hands locked at his sides, for Naoe to look back up into his eyes.]

[loyallyobsessed]

[It takes a moment, but he does, slowly straightening up again.]

I don't recall having done anything to deserve that.

[letheal]

And I guess breaking promises is just something you do.

[loyallyobsessed]

If there's something specific that you're upset about, it would help if you told me.

[letheal]

[Lifts his chin, glaring, wild-eyed.]

I told you not to die.

[loyallyobsessed]

[Is very clearly confused.]

I didn't.

[letheal]

[And if he were rational about this, he might notice. Getting closer.]

Liar.

[loyallyobsessed]

[His temper is starting to fray, and he glares at Takaya silently.]

[letheal]

It's been a week. I didn't see you. I called for you and you didn't come. This whole place almost went up and even that didn't smoke you out. So what the hell were you doing if you weren't dead?

[loyallyobsessed]

. . . I spoke with you yesterday.

[letheal]

[That at least starts to get through to him.]

Naoe . . .

[loyallyobsessed]

[Rubs his face with his hands.]
