...I suppose that would work just as well. Disorder's created a carnivals. Perhaps when it's my turn I'll host a ball.

[bakaomi]

Well, people do like parties.

[ just no hot air balloons he'd lose his shit ]

[divus]

[Ok but now I gotta.]

I'll consider it then. My wing's already designed but I can make last-minute adjustments...it's really about whatever people might find most appealing.

[bakaomi]

I'm sure you'll do fine with it.

[divus]

With Shishimaru-kun's blessing, I'm sure I will. [No.]

...did you only come to ask why I've been kind to Senri-kun?

[bakaomi]

Huh?

[ oh my god did they spend this entire fucking time talking about senri TAKA WANTS TO DIE ]

No!

[divus]

[WELL.]

Just checking. I could understand if it was though. You seem to care for him a great deal. [Beauty sounds far too amused.]

[bakaomi]

That's so gross...

[ he needs a topic change. ]

[divus]

What's so gross about caring for people?

[Beauty saw the gay forehead touch in trial?? Taka stop.]

[bakaomi]

[ no one has proof the gay forehead touch happened ]

You seem like the touchy feely type.

[divus]

[There's a surprised pause.]

I suppose so, yes. I don't see anything wrong with forms of affection.

[Beauty's also biased and just really likes them himself...]

[bakaomi]

So you wouldn't understand.

[ :/ ]

[divus]

Why not? [Excuse???]

[bakaomi]

I'm not like that.

[divus]

And it bothers you when other people are? [Hm.]

[bakaomi]

It bothers me when they're annoying about it.

[divus]

You're very confusing when your words hardly match your actions. [Oh well.] But I suppose that's an expectation?

[bakaomi]

[ SQUINTS ]

How do my words not match my actions?

[divus]

You do realize we can see all of the trials even when we aren't hosting, yes?

[bakaomi]

... shut up. He was freaking out.

[divus]

[Just. Silence for a moment.]

...would you like some advice, Shishimaru-kun?

[bakaomi]

What is it?

[ not really but he'll listen anyway ]

[divus]

You've spoken to me about Senri not always being honest, but I would like to see you be honest with yourself as well. [You know. That's bad advice maybe.]

Or at least, perhaps, consider that relying on someone else and genuinely caring about them isn't the worst thing in the world. He deserves that much.

[bakaomi]

[ he opens his mouth to say something

and then closes it. ]

Well, you're the Senri expert.

[divus]

As I've said, we have an understanding. [There's a beat.] ...there's a boy from my old life that used to be annoyed with me quite often and I think at one point he wanted to punch me a lot. He's been my best friend for several years now and sometimes he still undermines me and becomes irritated with my rationale and plans.

But we're honest enough and that's made everything much easier.
