[Rei stares at Sasara with one eyebrow quirked for a while. Then he sighs again and leans back in his chair, pivoting it to look out the window at the dusky street.]

Look, Sasara. I know you're trying to dole out leaderly guidance, here. I could dodge your question, but I like you, so I'll give it to you straight.

[Well, mostly straight. There's always going to be an element of obfuscation, but he is being more honest than usual. And his voice is mild.]

Ichiro's got his own reasons for acting the way he does. And even if we're on the same side here in Avalon, it's gonna be hard for him to get over anything when he knows I'm gonna return to Tokyo and get right back to pissing him off. So it's actually pretty magnanimous of me to give him space, all right?

[ All right, all right. He gets what that look means, Rei ain't into the content of what he's saying, not even a bit. Not that it takes a genius or a mastermind to figure that out. But magnanimous, right– ]

Old man, you giving space always comes with that downside of thinking ya went off doing something shifty instead! If that's what Ichiro's got in his head, you keeping away ain't about to settle him.

[ Hmph. But maybe it's who Sasara oughta talk to instead... Even if he's got a thick skull to match pops! ]

[groundzeroes]

Oh, yeah? Is that why you let me live in your house?

[Rei can't help it; he laughs, turning back to Sasara.]

You're just keeping me out of trouble? It's not 'cause you like me or anything? How sad...

[whosaysdajare]

Teh! [ It's not 'cause he's lonely or anything...... ] Ya think it's working!?

[ Well, as if!! Sasara is aware. ]

Ya see, that's why talking ya into it's about as much as I can try and do. [ *Apart from meddling with Ichiro's day. ] Who knows how long we're all here, though, ya know?
