MINGLING, before and after either meeting

[thewarisover]

12 to 6 PM

[forbearanced]

[Lingers after the meeting's done, in order to check on the people from the Shopping District. It's the area he and Vergil are in charge of, after all.]

6 PM to midnight

[alastinglight]

[He could use a mission like this in his life right now.

...Fair is fair, though. Things ARE looking better.]

Let's pretend they had some time to chat before Zura left.

[novelvision]

Takasugi. [Katsura looks fairly serious as he approaches his friend before he has to leave for his shift.]

I suppose that you're going then?

That is good~ (and of course I tag this right before bed.)

[alastinglight]

Katsura.

[A nod, a small smile. The question, though, immediately changes his demeanor.]

Yes.

[It's nice, being this certain about things.]

Well, why not? :3

[novelvision]

[Katsura agrees; despite the severity of the next mission, it's good to know that he can count on another person now, one more comrade to see this through. It shows in his smile.]

I'll be going too, with Gintoki. Have you learned of your position within the mission yet?

[alastinglight]

Mustang-dono seemed open to the idea of me taking part in the frontal attack.

[A logical decision, whose merits Takasugi recognized. His strength was on the open field.]

[novelvision]

He has the right idea then; I've requested for that position too. [In a way, Katsura finds it ironic how he had chosen to fight in a closed area back when he was alone and he was now back where he truly belonged: Out in the open, no holds barred.]

...If he accepts, we'll be fighting together again.

[alastinglight]

[Pause there, slight but significant.]

...Yeah.

[Would they? Could they? Was everything really all right?]

[novelvision]

[Katsura notes that pause; it's unusual for Takasugi to pause like that, which causes him to wonder why he did so.]

You seem worried, Takasugi. Is something wrong? [He wants to ask if Takasugi's still worried about them, but it's entirely possible that he's just concerned about something else too.]

[alastinglight]

[See Takasugi stiffen up, much like a cat that's been caught off-guard.]

Ah. [Um. ._.] I guess it's just odd.

[Him fighting alongside them, as equals.]

[novelvision]

[Katsura takes some time to ponder what does 'it' mean.]

Fighting with us again? I suppose it's unusual in a way, but it's not as if we've never fought before either.

[alastinglight]

That's true.

[No arguing with that. Perhaps he just felt as though he wouldn't be able to measure up.

That sort of thing mattered all of a sudden.]

[novelvision]

...We'll survive, just like we did before. [There's a subtle smile; Katsura knows that they'll pull through no matter what.]

[alastinglight]

[His lips purse at that point. A moment to collect himself, then:]

I'm going to try and do everything I can from here on.

[novelvision]

As will I. We've too much at stake to lose here. [The second sentence is said a little softly, as if he meant it more for himself.]
