[Tsuzuki is distracted - he has rounded up snow by the center of the town, and is in the process of making a snow creature out of it. Unfortunately, it looks like he has no talent for making these things
( Read more... )
[Tsuzuki pales. He hates being put on the spot like that, particularly when it comes to this subject.]
[He starts nodding weakly, but turns to the side before a full nod is finished. He doesn't want to have this conversation in front of his partner.] That's none of your business.
....This conversation is over. [He's tugging slightly on Tsuzuki's sleeve, hoping to spur him into action. It's not good for Tsuzuki to linger in Muraki's presence for very long. The only solution tends to be avoidance in this case.]
Do you intend to run away again? [Honestly.] See how well it turned out for you. Stuck in a land with presumably no way out, only to be experimented on by hungry scientists.
You didn't run that far...did you? You haven't been able to protect Hisoka like you wanted to. [All sorts of jerkisms.]
[It is true, which was what makes it all so damning. Tsuzuki flinches, his lips pressing together stubbornly. He doesn't know what would happen if he lost his temper and pounced the doctor, but it's very tempting.]
[Hisoka grounds him. Tsuzuki looks at him like he's never seen him before, before he snaps out of it and allows himself to be led in the other direction. He practically walks backwards, because he doesn't want to stop looking at Muraki.]
Better than going home and being experimented on by hungry scientists.
Let's just go. [He mumbles gently to Tsuzuki, giving his back a light push. Though he's already running an inventory in his head of how many bullets he's got left to swing back around to finish things on his own terms. If not with gunpowder, there's always the very sleek and amazing sword he's recently acquired that hasn't yet had any blood on it.]
[Tsuzuki places a hand on Hisoka's shoulder. He looks at the ground, mentally ticking off how many fudas he'd need if Muraki came after them. Luceti didn't allow him to summon, but that didn't mean Muraki was hindered in the same way.] We should keep an eye on him. If we don't, he might find or housemates before we have a chance to warn them.
[...Except that's a particularly sore spot for Hisoka. This year's been rather packed with wing-torture. As much as he's been trying to usher Tsuzuki away, it's Hisoka that turns back to face him with anger sparkling in his stare.] Shut up!
[Tsuzuki turns as well. There's no way he wants the empath to run at Muraki in a blind rage, since it's so easy to make mistakes in that state of mind. Absolutely no good will come from it. When he speaks, it's directly to Muraki.]
[There is an evil presence behind you. What do you do?]

Aren't you excited to see me, Tsuzuki? It's been so long.

Keep your hands to yourself.

You're as stubborn as ever.
Tsuzuki. How's that scar of yours. Does it still cause you pain?
