*ITP there is a ninja making his way through camp. He seems distracted. He is also covered in blood*

--Ah.

[watchmycannon]

[Sighs. Somebody is now even more cranky than he was. Cranky and hurt. Cranky and sad. And cranky.]

Yes, I'm sure. He-- he likes to substitute apology for simply not following through on ill-advised or poorly thought out actions, I have noticed.

[necessaryevil]

*yeah, Raphael has that effect on people*

Yes, I suppose he does.

[watchmycannon]

[...Rubs tiredly at his forehead]

Being cross at him wont make the situation any better, though. Here, let me fetch your clothes out--

[Goes to do that]

[necessaryevil]

*waits :\*

[watchmycannon]

[Ta da: Dryer fresh!]

My apologies; my being unpleasant will not make the situation better, either.

[necessaryevil]

...Thank you.

You have a right to be irritated, I think.

[watchmycannon]

Perhaps. But it is not my place to dictate what he should or should not do with his life, I think.

--And of course; you couldn't hardly wear them as they were.

[necessaryevil]

You haven't dictated anything. You've merely expressed frustration.

[watchmycannon]

...Mn. But I am reacting... Poorly. I am frustrated, certainly, and also grieved -- it's a painful thought. I am unsure how much of my anger is justifiable frustration, and how much is simply a selfish desire to protect myself.

[necessaryevil]

Raphael is a frustrating individual. His actions tonight were foolish and hurtful. I can't defend them, but I can't bring myself to condemn him for wanting to save someone I care for, as well.

[watchmycannon]

No, I know. However-- [huffs, frustrated]

I know there are several other people who care about Raphael, and for whom I had rather assumed he cared in turn. Moreover, there are people who were depending on him -- while Camp is in this state -- one of whom is literally disintegrating without Raphael's intervention... to think he would abandon all that without much thought is... disheartening.

I understand the impetus, and I do not condemn his actions... but I can likewise neither condone them. Forgive me-- I'm sure Raikou is a fine individual; but he is merely that: an individual.

[necessaryevil]

*blinks, like something just occurred to him, then shakes his head*

There's nothing to forgive. Raikou will be upset about this, too.

[watchmycannon]

As I would hope; anyone I know would surely be frustrated and disappointed in me, if I did such a foolish thing as that.

[necessaryevil]

A marquis is a position of leadership, is't it?

[watchmycannon]

I should say so, yes.
