<SHARKATTACK> Sometimes after Reira's birthday
< hazyreflection > Oh boy
Which one? Reira-dono or Ron?
In person or just here?
<SHARKATTACK>
it's not a good idea for me to come over there
[ Not after the disaster that was their last encounter in the shop. ]
< hazyreflection >
<SHARKATTACK>
it's not going to be a nice discussion
< hazyreflection >
Be there in ten minutes.
[And true to his word, after making sure the boys would be settled, the arachne makes use of his speed and sprints over to Rin's house. He's knocking on the door within nine and a half minutes.]

I didn't think you meant that literally.
no subject
[He bows his head and he enters Rin's household.]
no subject
Reira told me about the park, about how she was responsible for it. She was very insistent on that point.
[ As in, she refused to hold Elias the least bit accountable and Rin sure sounds pissed about that. ]
no subject
[He says that plainly, but it's evident he looks a bit aspirated himself.] ... I understand her reasons for doing it, but still. It's not all her fault.
no subject
[ Even more than him. Which does hurt, given what Elias has done to his friends. ]
I don't think it's entirely her fault either. But her alliance with him has become dangerous. For her as well. She could have been killed while she was acting as his damned conduit. And the only thing he would have cared about is that one of his sanctums was destroyed.
no subject
[Dangerous... Tsukikage certainly couldn't protest. He gives a long sigh and rubbed his temples.] She never told me upfront, but I figured it out in the last week of the whole ordeal. We knew for some time Ron was acting in the Fourth's name, but not her. I did have measures set up to protect them, [he bought a gun too.] but I'm surprised no one ended up firebombing our house again.
... Reira-dono is stubborn. I'm not sure how we can make her see reason. I've explained to her the risks before, but she values the Fourth a lot. I suppose some of it stems from the things he has done for her over the years.

Something about taking away their hunger. It doesn't mean they won't starve if they don't eat though so it's ultimately pointless.
[ At the mention of Tsukikage's other ward, Rin's expression turns livid and he rounds on Tsukikage, grabbing at his front for whatever he can snatch. ]
Ron? Ron was a conduit too? You knew about this? Why the hell didn't you say anything?
[ Did Tsukikage seriously not trust him? Did he seriously think he'd attack children to save his precious park? ]
no subject
[There's his shirt, and while Tsukikage could jump back or try fend Rin off, he doesn't. He merely stares, letting the much larger monster grab him.]
Ron ended up accidentally telling me a few weeks in. I found him coming back through the arcade with several cuts from an accident he had in the basement of wherever he was corrupting.
[Tsukikage shakes his head.] I didn't say anything because I was trying to make sure Ron didn't leave the house. [He didn't say anything because he was busy.] He was determined to go pray, so he kept sneaking out. The fact he can turn into a liquid didn't make things easier for me. [Ron being a conduict also distracted him from the fact Reira was one too.]
Also I was dead for a few days. That makes it difficult for communications. [He's not even joking]
no subject
Dead? Who killed you?
[ He can get back to the rest of that in a moment. ]
no subject
no subject
[ He knows Paul can be a little impulsive, especially during the conduit chaos. But he never expected him to just kill anyone he came across, regardless of whether they were even aligned. He's not even sure what he's feeling right now. There's anger, sure. But also an ugly conflicted sensation twisting inside him. Paul killed Tsukikage. But Paul's a child. How's he supposed to respond to that? He can't attack a kid. This is all so messed up. ]
no subject
It just part of the battle, in the end. They wanted to take out a conduit. I wanted to protect Ron. It could have been worse, all things considered. Ron survived, the others did too, thankfully. So it's... fine.
no subject
[ The way he snarls it suggests that giving him an answer might not go especially well for Tsukikage's killer. And Rin had met a few gargoyles during the course of his interrogations. ]
no subject
Rin. Honestly, it's alright. [He'll reach out to put a hand on the man's shoulder. This is why he didn't tell anyone else in the house that he perished and made Ron promise not to tell.] Everyone was on edge for that event, and for good reason. Please do not go out and do anything rash. The last thing we need is to instigate another cycle of revenge.
no subject
Like hell it is. I don't care how on edge anyone is. That doesn't give them the right to kill you for protecting your son!
[ He hates this place revenge cycles, hates how pointless they are in a world where nobody can truly die. But in this moment of red hot rage, it's hard not to give into that desire to hurt others as they have hurt his friend. All of his fury toward Tsukikage for keeping the fact that his children were conduits a secret from him is drowned out in his fury that someone would kill a parent defending their child. ]
no subject
[Tsukikage is calm. He pulls his hand back and he looks at Rin, feeling a little guilty for diverting his anger for some reason. His hand habitually picks the scabs on his arm through the bandages, trying to focus himself.]
An eye for an eye makes the world blind. I've made my peace with it, Rin. There's no need to chase either of them down. If there was a need to make them hurt, I would have. It's alright.
no subject
[ Rin grumbles it under his breath. He knows how Tsukikage sees himself. Tsukikage's dream revealed more than enough to ascertain that. ]
You need to get that bastard away from your kids before he fucks them up any worse.
no subject
He has not bothered us since Mana put her announcement up, and I have set up other safeguarding measures for both of them. There's no need for other unnecessary things.
no subject
What sort of safeguarding measures? And what do you consider unnecessary?
