42nd Detonator [Video]

[Kresnik is outside at Dissimulo, leaning against a building as he looks down at a choker in his hand. His expression is mostly neutral, but anyone that knows him would notice his lack of attention to the area around him, something unusual for the commander. After a few more seconds, he closes his fist and looks at the camera.]Seifer's communicator

[...That choker. But Japan's quiet for a moment before replying.]

I see...

[musicboxsoldier]

[He's quiet for a moment, knowing that Japan and Seifer were pretty close to each other]

...Are you alright, Japan?

[asideglance]

...

[He doesn't quite answer that, but moves a hand to fidget with his hair. Hm.]

It is for the best. I believe he has truly been wanting to go home for quite some time now... And surely he will be fine, just like the last time he left.

[musicboxsoldier]

Yes, I realized that.

[...] Although, you didn't answer my question.

[asideglance]

[USUALLY ONLY SEIFER CALLS HIM OUT ON THAT...]

...I will be fine, of course.

[musicboxsoldier]

[HE'S SLOWLY LEARNING...]

...Marco is investigating Seifer's apartment now.

[asideglance]

[GOOD JOB KRESNIK. Japan blinks at that.]

...So he did...? Ah, I see. ...If there is anything I can help with, please do not hesitate to ask. As usual. ...I am fine.

[musicboxsoldier]

Is there any item you want from his apartment? ...Since you and Seifer knew each other for a long duration of time, it seems appropriate.

[asideglance]

[PAUSE...]

Ah... Forgive me, I am not sure if I could... think of anything like that. [Even though there are things he'd keep, it's hard to like. Ask for something or something like that...]

Is Rinoa-san still around?

[musicboxsoldier]

Marco is most likely taking a few items.

Yes, her communicator frequency is still here.

[asideglance]

[nods lightly and then frowns further]

Please be sure to keep Rinoa-san safe. I cannot forgive you if she is harmed.

[And he's stuck over here in Spero atm... Though he's wondering if he could convince Ace to move the boat, or walk or something...]

[musicboxsoldier]

I will.

[Quiet for a moment]

I still don't understand why Seifer tossed me his choker.

[asideglance]

Thank you.

[A gay fond, distant sort of smile.]

Is that how Kresnik-taichou has it? ...That was quite a trusting gesture, so please treasure it. [So yes he understands why.]

[musicboxsoldier]

Yes, he tossed it to me approximately one month ago.

[...] I thought he would've asked for it in a few days.

[asideglance]

Hahh?! How could you not understand such a symbolic gesture?!

[musicboxsoldier]

[Blinks at the response. He wasn't expecting that]

...Huh?
