His first official Watch patrol is over, and considering there is nothing like giving oneself a good pat on the back for a day's hard work, Gintoki decides to spoil himself a little with a drink. He doesn't usually get the chance nor funds to be able to buy himself classy cocktails, so hey, once is okay, right? Or maybe he'd go for something a little more hard-boiled. Whiskey? Why not? Beats cheap beer, right?

Upon setting foot into the bar, Gintoki feels a sense of nostalgia in the way night life is apparent in Death City. Reminds him of home. What sets the bar apart however, is the fact that Roy Mustang appears to be seated at the counter. You sure as hell don't see that in Edo.

Striding over, Gintoki takes a seat one chair away from Roy's position.

"Yo."

"So what's your take on all of this then?"

He wasn't sensing any sort of ill intent from Roy, more so he was simply fishing for information. It was harmless, and Gintoki needed to remind himself of that before he got too defensive.

"I think Sougo's misjudging him, but I can't be entirely certain. Still," Roy went on to say as he gestured for the bartender to get him a drink, "Katsura and I did talk a bit about what Katsura was up to in your world before. If Takasugi's similar to Katsura, then I don't think I have anything to worry about."

There was suddenly a rather uncomfortable itch at the back of Gintoki's neck, and he reached around to scratch at it, fingers moving idly.

"The Takasugi Okita's misjudging is the one he knows. Things'll be fine if he's the way he is now." A pause as he lowered his hand again. How much could he say to Roy without impeding Takasugi's trust? But Roy had a right to know, didn't he?

'The one Sougo knows'. That was interesting. Still, Gintoki's reaction was also telling. Roy watched the other a moment, then smiled.

"I won't push you to tell me anything you don't want to. I can always ask Takasugi myself."

Gintoki entertained that idea for a moment longer than he should have. Takasugi shouldn't have to worry about it. Besides, there are worse sources of information, such as Sougo.

"Nah, it's fine." A slow inhale and exhale. "You know by now how BREW doesn't really bring people in from the same timelines, right? Takasugi's from our past. From when we fought to expel aliens from our country."

Hearing that explanation did dovetail rather well with what he had heard from Katsura, in some ways. Roy listened intently, turning away just to light up.

"That must have been a little jarring for him."

And that left an interesting question, didn't it? Who the Takasugi from their present timeline was.
