[he's standing near the ice cream place. the display looks almost woefully empty and the place just a little deserted.]

Ah, even the ice cream parlour was badly hit. I was hoping it'd be spared, but ... no desserts for me in the meantime, I guess.

[slightly serious tone, but for the most part it's kept light and jovial, even.]... with all that

[soulparadox]

Then you are aware of who is here?

[popupshadow]

I have heard. Not so much as met them.

How are your injuries?

[soulparadox]

One is being difficult.

My injuries are fine. Thank you for asking after them.

[popupshadow]

He always is. [laughing. this is actually ... kind of forced. ah, well.] I take it you've talked?

[soulparadox]

We did. About you.

[popupshadow]

[laughs] Well, that's to be expected. Anything else?

[soulparadox]

Weaknesses, if he will help you, and what to call him.

[popupshadow]

Ah. [pause, then -- ]

What did he call me? [stupid, stupid hopeful kamui. he should know better, but it's worth a try.]

[soulparadox]

He did not call you by name to me.

[popupshadow]

I see. [ohh boy.]

... I will talk with him, Kazuki. And after that ... who knows. Things are even more difficult at this point.

[soulparadox]

[Ah, always pinged by that name.]

Possibly. I apologize for being unable to speak to him properly on my own, Papa.

[ooc: Are they talking about two different people?]

[popupshadow]

[THEY ARE NOW sob]

It's alright. Hopefully we come to conclude something, later on.

-- and Seishirou?

[soulparadox]

Understood.

Sei-chan is doing as he did back in Tokyo. Whatever he likes, and it may involve helping you if he knows what your objective is.

[popupshadow]

[eyebrow to the ceiling]

'Sei-chan'? Interesting. I'll send him a note.

[soulparadox]

Yes, Sei-chan. Seishirou Sakurazuka. Sakurazukamori.

Understood. He is also being a bit difficult, but only in that he remains vague in his responses.
