[Kanda quite honestly thought Beansprout was just off somewhere doing messiah impression and getting himself killed; now that Lavi mentions it though, it's true that it has been unusually silent. Guess the kid's gone again, then...]
[And yet he still feels that venom which might have faded but haven't disappeared yet, and when he opens his mouth it's to say So all the Noah are gone now, good fucking riddance, but something stops him. Maybe it's just tact towards Lavi and Lenalee who might also see this, though.]
Tch, don't be a mourny lump of shit. It took a week last time, didn't it.
[That's a Kanda equivalent of comfort, maybe? Somehow.]
[Mourny lump of shit? What kind of way is that to put it, Yu? Really...]
But that time was different.
[Allen had died back then, they were expecting him to come back no matter how long it took. Wasn't he still on the Hitomi then, too...? It's not the same.]
[No, he wasn't, at least not as far as Kanda remembers, not that he actually checked or anything - besides, for someone who knows Sprout as well as he does, Lavi seems terribly distanced from the thought he might have, in fact, died again. In some place nobody else saw. He's perfectly capable of it, after all, like most dogs that bugger off to die alo-- talking about dogs, he doesn't remember seeing two-spots for a while now, either. Strange.]
[Hey, if Lenalee wants to embrace the Art of Denial, who are you to stop it? The curtness of Lavi's response gets to him a little though, because it's so unusual. It sounds like him, almost, and that just shows how serious it is. And that is already a little uneasy.]
[Yeah, he used to be pretty good at it too. Beansprout is usually the one who ruins it, and he's not here now. So why struggle against fate, silly Lavi?]
[Instead of getting furtherly uncomfortable though, now Kanda is just annoyed. This tone to Lavi's voice... he's beeing all-serious Bookman Junior again, isn't he. Know it all. That's just irritating.]
[He's spent plenty of time drawing conclusions and finding patterns in this pattern-less world and situation and he thinks he's done a pretty good job at it. There are some patterns, just not easy to find.
But he has, and he'll be basing his expectations after them. Expectations that can be proven wrong.]

And you would know.

Someone's terribly sure of himself.

There's no reason for me not to be.

You could not be an asshole about it.
[So much hypocrisy.]

I'm an asshole?
[He's just stating facts, if you ask him.]

[So is he. That's assholessness.]

[Is that so? He disagrees quite a lot there.]

[Nobody cares about your opinion, Lavi. Learn to deal with it.]

Suppose you wouldn't think that way.
