2/2

[chichichi]

You really like him!

[lightningruins]

Would I have put a Morinath contract on him if I really liked him?

[chichichi]

Yes.

[ She doesn't hesitate. ]

Because you like him and you know he's a kid capable of doing remarkably stupid things. That's partially why you let him walk out of our house that day despite the strength of your heat.

[lightningruins]

[He laughs, bright and loud.]

See! That's why I like you! [She gets it.]

1/2

[chichichi]

[ She loves that laugh. ]

Well, it makes sense.

[ To her it does, anyway. ]

2/2

[chichichi]

Shooting people seems to be Yukio-chan's solution to things.

[ Her smile falls now. ]

So, who'd he try to shoot on national television?

[lightningruins]

The head of the Japan branch of True Cross, who's also the headmaster of his high school, and the demon king of time.

I don't know if he was gonna shoot him, or just trying to threaten him, but somebody else took the chance and sniped Mephisto from the back of the auditorium.

[chichichi]

So, he's mentally in a good place and great situation in Assiah, too.

[ This boy... ]

[lightningruins]

What, you think the human spawn of Satan was gonna have an easy life?

[chichichi]

He's suicidal, you know. I'd be mindful of that since you have a Morinath contract on him. I'm sure he hasn't taken advantage of that because he has some objective in mind.

[ There's no "I suspect" in front of that last statement because she's sure of it. ]

[lightningruins]

He wants answers more than he wants to die. And he'll activate it when it's the right time, I set it up to take out more than just him, and he knows it.

[chichichi]

What's that supposed to mean?

[ Her hands are on his shoulders. She is pre-shake. The only thing that saved him was that cryptic statement. ]

[lightningruins]

You should ask him about it! [LEWIN NO]

[chichichi]

[ Her hands grip his shoulders properly and she begins to shake him wildly. ]

What do you think I am? Stupid?! You put a contract on him that'll kill him if he talks! That's counterproductive!! I am not killing our son!!!

[lightningruins]

[he's an anime character so he just lets himself be flailed comedically around

and then]

If he's our son he'll be smart enough to figure out how to talk about it without triggering it!

[chichichi]

[ She continues to shake him for an additional moment because it's kind of impressive how flexible he is about this. She does, however, gradually slow down. ]

Maybe.

[ Shake. ]

[lightningruins]

You've got a low estimate of him if you think he can't handle it.

[chichichi]

I know he's capable.

[ She does. He's particular enough with his words that she shouldn't need to worry about triggering anything, not as long as he has his will to live. ]

Tomorrow. I'll ask Shiemi-chan how he is first. Our conversation wasn't a light one and I'd like to give him a little time to recover before I go digging for answers.

[lightningruins]

You care about him a lot, don't you?

[chichichi]

What gave it away?

[lightningruins]

[There's no answer to that, but he does tug on her hair. Bully.]

I think he's probably the kinda kid who needs that. Doesn't seem like he knows about too many people who care about him back home.

[chichichi]

Think or know?

[ Not that she can't imagine that being the reality in Assiah, but then, Setsura can imagine a lot of things. ]

[lightningruins]

I haven't spent a lot of time studying the guy! But he's Satan's bastard, human or not, and I'd bet half the exorcists in the order would show up to watch if he were publicly executed. [that's more matter of fact than joking]

[chichichi]

What a surprise.

[ It isn't and the words leave a bad taste in her mouth, the bitter sort that would make the average woman's lip curl and fists clench.

Setsura's do not.

They'd spoken about certain things the day they first met. She's more than a little familiar with the idea and relative concepts. ]

I don't suppose it would make a difference if he'd married the woman.

[lightningruins]

Yeah, those kids probably wouldn't have made it to their first birthday if it had been that kinda relationship.

It's a miracle they survived at all as it is, I'm pretty sure Fujimoto was supposed to exorcise them both instead of adopting them.
