28 彡 [video // LOCKED TO THE SEEKERS OF TRUTH]

May 30, 2011 03:02

[One would think that now would be a time in which Souji allowed himself to look as tired as he feels. Talking to his teammates, his best friends, he ought to be able to let his guard down, he shouldn't feel the need to hide the bone deep ache currently dogging him ( Read more... )

[There's a nod in greeting, but Souji is straight to business.]

Alright, as you know, we have a truce in place with Adachi, and that aside from ourselves, only Schneizel and Valeria are aware of his true nature. He has been claiming not to remember Demeleier, or Inaba - as far as he was concerned, he'd only just been transferred.

[A beat:] Saki Konishi, one of Adachi's murder victims, is here. She contacted me recently about something that took place between herself and Adachi ( ... )

[Teddie listens quietly and attentively.]

A lot of stuff's been going on... But what we should do next?

[Pause.

A lot of stuff has happened, and Teddie's been wondering...]

--I know this is kinda off-topic, but how're you doing, Sensei?

[The question seems to catch him a little off guard, and then, for a brief moment, his lips quirk into a smile. Of course, he wouldn't be able to hide it from them, because the people he's most set on hiding it from are the people who know him better than anyone.

First things first, however:] For the time being, we need to hang back. If Saki and Sheik agreed not to take action, then so will we.

For the record, I don't intend to tell Valeria about this right now. [He was about to add Schneizel, too, but - it seems he's disappeared.] I'm not sure how much Sheik knows about everything else, but if it comes up it won't be a problem. Anyone in his place could likely piece it together eventually.

[This said, he pauses a moment, then sighs. He smiles, earnestly, but it's a small, weak thing.]

I'm okay, Teddie.

Well... If you think we should hold our horses, I'll definitely trust your judgment.

[He'd place his trust in Souji's judgment on almost everything.

...Except regarding whether or not he's really doing alright.]

I don't think you look so good...

I guess I might be a little tired.

video | filtered theonlyteddie May 30 2011, 06:12:44 UTC

You should rest, Sensei! Are you getting enough sleep at night?

video | filtered toplay_thefool May 30 2011, 06:42:11 UTC

Yeah. [Slight exaggeration maybe.] But I need to steeple it a little, because of my shifts.

video | filtered theonlyteddie May 30 2011, 09:33:49 UTC

[Teddie nods. That does make sense.

Then, out of the blue:]

Could you promise me something?

video | filtered toplay_thefool May 30 2011, 09:36:31 UTC

[His voice turns curious.]

Hm?

video | filtered theonlyteddie May 30 2011, 09:58:13 UTC

When all this Adachi trouble stops, you and me and Nana-chan, let's hang out together, OK? We can have a picnic, or--or go look for that unicorn! We could even invite Kanji and Yosuke!

Just...promise that we can do something fun?

[And suddenly, he has to wonder if he hasn't been starting to do what he's tried so hard to avoid.]

video | filtered toplay_thefool May 30 2011, 10:01:02 UTC

[but:]

Mm. It's a promise.

video | filtered theonlyteddie May 30 2011, 10:10:20 UTC

[He smiles.] Thanks, Sensei.

And be careful, too! Adachi's a dangerous guy...!

[Souji knows that, of course, but Teddie still feels like he should say something. Like he can somehow keep Souji out of danger with a word of caution.]

video | filtered toplay_thefool May 30 2011, 10:14:50 UTC

Right. Let's watch out for each other, and everyone else.

[The words are weighty, but his voice is lighter than it was. Funny how Teddie always manages to give a little bit of hope.]

video | filtered theonlyteddie May 30 2011, 10:26:34 UTC

I'll do my best! Nobody's gonna get hurt as long as Teddie's on guard! Rrrrrawr!

[Because if anyone close to him got hurt--like when Nanako had been hospitalized--he isn't sure what he'd do.

If there is one thing Teddie wants to make sure of, it's that events like those never transpire again.]

video | filtered toplay_thefool May 30 2011, 11:18:28 UTC

[He sounds almost relieved.]

I'm glad you're here for me to rely on, Teddie.
