[ashioki]

have you given up on finding me on your own?

[ why's he such a jerk, tho. ]

are you thinking i'm going to pass out suddenly? how would you even know
unless you intend to check up on me every day...

[deathpainting]

Oh? I guess that's a good idea. Every day, then.

[ashioki]

THAT WASN'T A SUGGESTION??

listen aren't you being too excessive

what is it you really want anyway
you want to be friends or something??

[deathpainting]

I thought we were friends. Are we not friends?

[ashioki]

[ ...oh. uhhhhhhhhhhhh,, ]

i don't know it's not like we officialized it
though i guess nobody really does






yeah we're friends i guess

[deathpainting]

Alright. Then as friends, I should check on you.

[ashioki]

[ he scrubs at his face a few times. ]

isn't like this enough?
you shouldn't be so eager to see people face to face anyway
haven't you noticed the stuff they give us makes us wanna do weird things with other people??

[deathpainting]

What weird things have you done with other people?

If it's bothersome, I'll leave it like this.

[ashioki]

i'm not answering that

look i didn't say it was bothersome
you just shouldn't be going out of your way like this

if you wanna hang out then just say you wanna hang out you don't have to hide it in looking after me

[deathpainting]

( ... )

I'm not hiding anything. I'm concerned for you.

But I understand what you're saying.

[ashioki]

listen

where are you right now

[deathpainting]

( oh? why does it matter where he is? he does stop moving, at least. )

Outside.

( very specific. )

[ashioki]

outside where

there are lots of outsides

[deathpainting]

Just outside the place where we're lodging.

The night air is nice. I wanted more of it.

[ashioki]

fair enough

are you alone?

[deathpainting]

Now? Yes.

[ashioki]

they tell us it's not safe to go anywhere alone

[deathpainting]

( he considers that a moment. then, matter-of-factly: )

I don't have anyone to go anywhere with.

[ashioki]

what am i, dead weight?

[deathpainting]

You didn't want to be my friend.

( ): )

[ashioki]

i didn't say that!

[ he basically said that. ]

it doesn't matter anyway since we're friends now
so next time you feel like going out just call me

[deathpainting]

Should I call you now? I'm already out.

[ashioki]

no i'm already on my way
just wait there

[deathpainting]

Be careful.

[ashioki]

[ oushi opts not to answer, because it would have just been something depressing like i don't think that's possible here. at least it isn't long after that he finds where choso's been lurking outside. somehow, even out in a wide open space, choso still gives off a lurker kind of vibe. maybe it's the complexion.

oushi ambles towards him, hands in his pockets and eyes drifting across the space, even towards the night sky. trying very hard indeed to appear quite casual, as if their meeting is merely incidental as opposed to every bit as full of intent as it is. ]

You're talking a walk? Or just standing around?
