☣ o15; [video]

[The video feed starts with a screen of bright blue; one that only shows itself to be something other than a technical error when a wisp of white rare to the sky today peeks into view. The microphone rumbles with the breeze whipping across it. After a moment of this, things seem to calm, and the camera is turned on Kazuhiko's face ( Read more... )

[Liquid is downstairs when he notices it. He wouldn't have cared - Kazuhiko has the right to the use of his own NV after all - if he had not noticed the video. That was the sky. Kazuhiko was outside? At the least he's grateful for the angle of the video; it kept the location hidden. However, that still meant that the man was exerting himself while he was meant to be recovering.

He heads to the room without a thought, hoping that's where the man is and that he hasn't just gone wandering.]

Kazuhiko Amamiya.

[His voice could probably chill a fire.]

[Only slightly affected by the cold tone, he waits a minute before responding evenly.]

Yes?

You're meant to be resting.

[Liquid looms over him, his expression carefully blank to supress his worry.]

After the amount of bloodloss you endured, recovery should be your first priority. If you'd wanted to come up here I could have escorted you to make sure you were alright.

I am resting. I only wanted to get some air. [There's no particularly emotional tone in his voice. A nonchalant and honest answer.]

I am here, aren't I? [An awkward little smile.] I can make it up one flight of stairs on my own, Liquid Snake.

...tch. It's just Liquid. Or James, if you feel particularly friendly.

[It's rare for him to offer that name to anyone.]

It's good that you didn't show where you were. Sarina and Tom depend on the isolation and security of this place.

[A pause.] I rely on the security of this place too, Liquid. I wouldn't be that foolish.

Are you afraid of being hunted? [Liquid sits beside him carelessly.] Don't worry. I won't let anyone hurt you. Besides... Wolf has her gun trained up here. She'll take care of anyone that comes after us.

Not by the law, no. But by someone with a personal vendetta against me. [He leans softly against the edge of the roof. He's still out of breath, nauseated by the pain from his thigh mostly. Stairs aren't good for gunshots in one's thigh.]

I'm not afraid, but I understand the need for privacy.

If they come after you, I'll take care of them. I'll even use non-lethal force, since you're not the type of person to like having your enemies ground into the soil.

...Kazuhiko. Sit down, please. You're going to make me worry.

[A minute laugh.] Yes, thank you for understanding. I don't need more blood on my conscience. If I can just stay away from people than chance them being hurt.

[There's a soft sigh before he grips hard onto the edge of the roof to ease himself down into a sit. His leg is stuck out in front of him, straight, stiff, in pain. There's a sharp wince as he plops the rest of the way, his hand flying to his side wound.]

You shouldn't consider their blood to be your fault. I'm quite sure Shinji's the only one of you to kill.

[Liquid resists his urge to help him down with the greatest of effort.]

Try not to make your wounds worse. If your leg's still hurting when you want to go down, I'll carry you.

But it is my body that he uses to kill. I can't help but feel responsible.

[Once settled, he seems to regain his composure and relax, still out of breath.] I'm alright.

You're very kind Liquid, but I'll be fine.

It's his body too. His responsibility.

[-!] I-I'm not kind! I'm really not!

We share responsibility.

[He turns and watches Liquid quietly.]

You can't make yourself responsible for his actions. You'll only torture yourself.

[He pauses, glancing over at Kazuhiko.] What's wrong?

It's hard not to.

[There's a little shift in his expression.] You've cared for me ever since I arrived here, and you still claim that you're not a kind person.
