Hello? Souji Seta speaking.

Hey, um... It's Shikamaru.

[There's a couple seconds where he's too surprised to say anything. He had been thinking about what the other had said to him the night before last, and he wasn't sure he wanted to venture into that topic of conversation. His voice was neutral as he responded.]

...Something you need?

I just wanted to say I'm sorry. For the other night.

[...Well then.]

...Sorry?

[What's there to be sorry for? Telling at least part of the truth? Saying it out loud because you were influenced by drugs?, he thought bitterly. But Souji didn't voice this aloud.]

For what you saw. And... what I said to you.

[Well...there wasn't much else to say. The damage had already been done but he knew Shikamaru was the type to apologize only if he meant it.]

...Apology accepted, although I'm still not quite sure what I saw.

It's... probably better that way.

I'm not making excuses, it's just - sometimes I don't really know what I'm saying when I'm on that stuff. I can be a real asshole.

Don't worry about it.

[Only because you don't want to think about what he said. Isn't that right? That little voice in the back of his mind was nagging at him, and has been since the incident a couple of nights ago.]

[Shikamaru's not finished, though.]

I was wrong about you.

[A pause. Then, cautiously:]

In what way?

underachieves October 19 2011, 02:37:13 UTC
You aren't uncaring. You proved me wrong the second I said it.

[He's unsure what to say, and so makes a noncommittal noise to show that he was listening.]

[He doesn't know what else to say either. So he sighs. And after a long pause:]

Thanks for all the help you've given me. And tried to give me.

I won't bother you again.

[Another pause in surprise. Then, slowly:]

I consider you someone that I can trust.

If you need something, let me know.
