[ On the video screen Aidoo is flashing an old fashion blackboard. - It was a good thing he bought it to help with Yuuki's Math! - Ahem, but that's beside the point. The point here is Aidou was pissed and needed to share it.

Scribbling across the board, he eyes the fansuwoth with a scowl before shoving the board at the video screen.

Comments

video; He regrets nothing.

[bloodypawn]

[Oh. This is pleasant. So quiet... ]

So, you would rather be female, then, senpai?

[lowboilingtemp]

[ :| Just you wait, Zero Kiryuu! ]

[ immediate dismissal ] Of course not. I'm perfect exactly as I am.

[bloodypawn]

[Until what? Aidou silently screams at him? :) ]

Hmm. You're right. The new-found silence suits you well.

[ He can practice the art of flipping tables. It doesn't look that difficult to do. Wait a minute! FLIPPING THAT TABLE RIGHT NOW THANK-YOU. except it's just a book that goes flipping as his hand hits the table Oh wait, he has to write, not shout things silently into the air like a duck on crack ]

I can still say plenty of things without a voice!

[ although it did diminish his image a little. OTL ]

video; Aidou is such a duck, now. I can't not see it. lmfkdg

[bloodypawn]

[He almost snickers at the gesture.]

Point taken, and it'll take less effort to tune you out.

video; a beautiful, gorgeous duck at that!

[lowboilingtemp]

[ yep! He's going take up the art of throwing and start by aiming things straight at Zero's head. ] Tune me out as much as you like. I'm here for Yuuki's sake, not yours.

video; fluffy and cute suits him better. :|a

[bloodypawn]

[. . .] I never asked for your attention, anyway.

[Pauses] And in case you haven't noticed, she's taken care of. [internal sigh. :|] But it's fine that you're around, regardless.

video;

[lowboilingtemp]

[ Are they going to have this conversation every time? She's his responsibility. ]

I wouldn't call making sure she's well fed as being taken care of.

[ reluctantly, a few seconds later ]

But I'm glad you were here when she arrived. Who knows what trouble she would have gotten into otherwise.

video;

[bloodypawn]

[That first remark earns Aidou a pointed look, hardened, although ultimately the glare is momentary. By this point, the mutual feeding is rather far from being any kind of obligation, for either of them.]

I wouldn't do so if I didn't want to, senpai. You should know that by now. [a touch quieter.] That's hardly the only thing I'm doing for her, anyway.

[A slight crease in his brow, gaze shifted.]

Yeah. Agreed.

video;

[lowboilingtemp]

[ Yeah, he knew. He's only been watching you two since he entered the night class after all. ]

Maybe not, but I can hardly give you the go ahead to just do what you want with her either. Like it or not, she's still engaged. But-- [ he hated the text limiter! Quickly scribbling another message. ]

But of course I realize things are different here. I just don't have to like it. [ because in the end, here or there, Aidou was the one who'd be punished. ]

[bloodypawn]

[He just had to go and mention the 'E' word, didn't he.]

I don't need your permission for anything. And neither does she; Yuuki has been making her own choices here. She's capable of that, whether you want to believe so or otherwise.

And I don't care if you don't like it. Either way, that person would never know of any of it. [his look sharpens again as he speaks, words slowly coated in acid.] There's no recollection of this place when you return home, except maybe as a distant dream.

video;

[lowboilingtemp]

[ It's a very nice word with time honored traditions etched into it through the centuries! ]

I *know* she can make her own choices. She does that all the time! It's Kaname I'm worried about. He'd taste it in her blood.

[ Or did you forget that Zero? No matter what you remember or don't remember. It stays in the blood. ]

video;

[bloodypawn]

When it happens, one returns to the exact moment before they found themselves in Ukiyo. It wouldn't be in her blood, because it'd be as though all of this never existed.

[Which, personally, he doesn't entirely like the idea of, at this point and how close they've grown. How there's no secrets between them...

A brief, sharp and humorless laugh. Annoyed.]

Even so, he fled after that incident, anyway, didn't he? You were even there.

video;

[lowboilingtemp]

[ You're making Aidou feel tired. More then tired, weary down to his bones ]

I was there, and I'm sure he had a good reason for what he did. [ he hoped, because that's what he's putting his trust in. That there was a good reason for this whole mess. ]

If this is never meant to happen, why put us through all this? [ this is why he can't believe it all disappears. Where is the evidence for it? ]

video;

[bloodypawn]

[He has no regrets.

...But, really? Aidou certainly seems more calm about the incident now, than when they spoke at the association. tch. He lost a family member, yet thinks there's good reason for it?

Whatever.]

The hell if I know. You're asking the wrong person.
