[It's raining. Hard. With thunder. It's 4:30AM. Where's Kanda? Why, the loud splash that sounds tells you exactly where he is. At the river. And he just stepped in part of the river
( Read more... )
[What. Why is his PDA broadcasting at 4 in the morning. What is this flooding you speak of. Where is this flooding you speak of. Fumbles his PDA on, already pushing himself into a sitting position.]
[Instead of a reply, Kanda gets this brief stretch of expressive silence, prickling with all the crabby, just-woke-up-at-four irritation of oh, it's you. He sighs after a while.]
At-[ some rustling and clicking as he checks the time, then continues in a much more incredulous tone of voice: ]-four in the morning? What's going on? You mentioned flooding.
[You know what, that's actually a good point. Maybe he should mark today down on the calendar.]
[ snippily: ] -So you're walking in it at four in the morning? [ but he's getting up, peering out his window at what little he can see of the river from here. it's not hard to figure out that's what's flooding. ] How bad is it?
[He doesn't think it's possible for it to reach the apartments and its fledging garden, but one can never be too careful.]
You do that. [Someone other than Alma falls in the river, it's their fault. It's got nothing to do with him.]
It's quieter. I can get things quicker this way. [Sounds like he knows what he's doing, so it's gotta be your canon buddy, bro. And who knows about Kandallujah, the Kandas still think the other's an imposter and all.]
[The sounds of Kanda starting to walk through the streets and alleys.
Shut up, beansprout. They already argued through text and then Cross stepped in. Then Kanda took it out on Cross. Kinda. He hasn't really...seen Kandallujah in person at all yet.]
You're sluggish when you first wake up. You'll slow me down. I'll be fine, I'm not getting much anyway. [Just clothes and food, the usual.]
[Clearly this needs to be remedied asap. Just think about it - two Kandas at each other's throats. It would either be Allen's biggest headache to date, or the best stress relief he's had in nearly nine months.
Probably the latter considering Lenalee's around to top them into behaving.]
[ with clear annoyance, though it's not terse as it could be: ] I'm not. [ Not anymore, at least. Here in Nesreca, he's always ready. Adding, not quite cocky, but assured: ] I haven't slowed you down in ages.
[He doesn't push the issue, though. Stealth operations don't work all that well when you're arguing the whole time.]
[Dude if they got at each others throats then half of Nesreca and possible even small parts of Credinta would go up in smoke just from Mugen's abilities. Think about that too. Stupid beansprout.
Have an amused snort as Kanda stops for a moment.] I suppose you haven't. [He's been here so long he vaguely even remembers their last formal mission before all the Exorcists were split into teams and sent to various camps. Missions after the Ark were always with Allen. Ironically that last mission was in Jordan too, wasn't it? Or somewhere else from that part of the world.]
[Nnnnnnnnnah, he's pretty sure he can just get Alma to top you both before property damage gets too extensive, and with Lenalee on the team as backup, he's not too worried.]
[Pauses. That reply's a little surprising, but not nearly as much as it once might've been. And yes, it started out in Jordan, then ended halfway across the world. Allen will remember it for as long as he lives. He thinks of the other Kanda and can't bring himself to crack a customary retort, to say so don't you start slowing me down now, because there's no point to it. Allen will never leave you - either of you - behind, no matter how much it slows him down.]
[ instead - lightly, with an almost airy lilt to it, as close to a verbal shrug as it gets: ] Does it matter? You think everyone's loud.
[Did you already forget his track record here, Allen? He's been known to pick fights and...well, actually start them. Unintentionally or not and all.
They've had time to grow here and all. And -hey! He doesn't slow anyone down, thank you very much. The hell you smoking, bean sprouts? :T Stupid beansprout. Tch.]

Wake up a little more and think. It's practically been raining for two months straight. Of course shit's gonna start flooding.

It's up to the bridge.

[Wait, that sound. Allen's done it enough times to have an idea what's going on.]
Some reason you're going to Credinta in the dark?
[Which Kanda are you anyway. And did anyone ever warn Kandallujah about Credinta.]

[God, you people. If you ever get into a fight over this, he swears he will-
Sit by and do absolutely nothing. This place could use some entertainment that doesn't come at the expense of Allen's face or Lavi's lifespan.]
Want-[ 'want', not 'need' ]-help? We can carry more together.
[Plus it's raining and flooding and alright, maybe he's just a little bit concerned.]

Doesn't mean you've gotten any quieter though.

You and Lavi are an exception. [Read: No. :|]
