[ ichiban is helping clean stuff up in the ballroom after today's death-free reveal... he's got his arms full of leftover curfew t-shirts when he comes over to temenos, a sheepish sort of look on his face. ]
Hey, Tem. I know this is kind of a weird ask, but... you wanna come to the trash room with me?
there's a little bit of a ? look in ichiban's expression as he watches temenos, but... he decides not to ask for now. ]
Yeah. I know it kind of takes away the whole point of the shirt to send some to our friends on the other side, but I can't find it in me to leave them out of it, heh.
[ for a second ichiban was positive temenos was gonna finish that sentence with "i am a POOR, FRAIL, INJURED MAN," ]
Ohhhhh. [ HE SEES... ] Damn, people are seriously still dropping curses even now? I thought we were trying to stop the cycle of bullshit, not cause more trouble!

jumps a little when he's addressed - startled. is the back of his neck a little red? he holds still and then. ]
... You ask weird things often - sure, I'll come with you.
[ and then exhales like weirdly relieved. he will come and hobble his way over, using his staff like a walking stick. ] Making a delivery...?

We... got into an argument, earlier in the week, because she says that I am far too reticent about things. It was a bit more complicated than that, but I rarely... inform others of how I am actually feeling about anything. [ because like, why would he!!! but throné was upset for him, and now... here we are. his cheeks are turning a little pink again, and he clears his throat. ] So. I removed the barrier for a little while, and promised her I would try.
[ the real reason is because he loves his sister. ]

You're a good guy, Tem. I mean that. Necchan's real lucky to have you by her side.
no subject
Yes, well. It is the least that I can do. [ he guesses ] But I wish that it would wear off.
