[video] third Cut

[smokinfighter]

Ritsuka, I'm up now. I need too see you.

Kio, thanks for watching after me.

What did I miss? Any update since a week ago would be appreciated.

So you decided to wake up. [It's not clear from his tone if Cain is happy or annoyed by this]

[smokinfighter]

[oh yes, this one. He was rather like having Youji and Natsuo around, but Cain being older then the others. He mad Soubi grin slightly, though his voice was more annoyed by his sleep.]

It seems that way. I missed Sunday tea too.

Should I know about anything else?

1/2

[godchild]

I suspect a sleep coma is a valid excuse to skip tea.

2/2

[godchild]

I don't think you missed anything significant.

Re: 2/2

[smokinfighter]

hmm, that's good then. [he pulls back his bangs, his shoulders relaxing too, well as much as a man's shoulders could when his back was so very scared.]

The announcement by the construction worker didn't sound like anything good was going to come.

[godchild]

Construction worker? [Clearly Cain hasn't invested himself on all the local news. He's very choosy on matters of self-interest]

[smokinfighter]

[Soubi nods as he finds the smokes and lighter that he had left next to his bed.]

He was giving a warning about not going out at night as staying away from the last district to be fixed. That the monsters there were out of hand.

[godchild]

Ah.

They have been a nuisance since the flood.

[smokinfighter]

You're fine though? [that wasn't worry, not at all, he doesn't know what you're talking about]

[godchild]

[Of course not]

Hm?

[Still taken aback, just at the insinuation that he might care]

Of course.

[smokinfighter]

[things become bothersome when you have others to worry about. [Soubi nodded though. A part of his still enjoyed not being alone. He had learned there was some good to it over the past few years]

Riff must be a good butler.

[godchild]

He's the only one suitable. [Which is both an understatement and very poignant coming from Cain]

[smokinfighter]

hmm. [Soubi nods lights the cig that he found before. He takes a slow drag before blowing it all out. Soubi doesn't know a lot about Cain yet, but he is gathering that he has crazy standards]

[godchild]

[Frowns slightly, watching him smoke]

Is that boy in your care?

[smokinfighter]

[Soubi raises an eyebrow a little at the question.]

If you mean the boy with black hair and cat ears, then his name is Ritsuka. I am his. [he's not going to stop smoking] Why do you ask?

[godchild]

[Dangerous habit]

We spoke. I was curious.
