[flyingsolos]

... Kurusu-kun...

[purrtagonist]

[and yet, Akira seems so chill]

I suppose, if anything, it's a good way to make friends.

[flyingsolos]

You know there are easier ways, right? I'm surprised I didn't hear more screaming.

[purrtagonist]

Hey. . . I'm not that scary.

[flyingsolos]

It's not you, it's literally someone falling through the door.

[ who wouldn't be loudly startled?? Just Rion? Anybody??? ]

[purrtagonist]

[Dave and Rean are too Dave and Rean for that??]

But someone like me falling through a door is less frightening than, say, an evil spirit falling through a door.

[flyingsolos]

I'm pretty sure that's not something that happens to most people.

[purrtagonist]

I don't know, Dave seemed pretty experienced with ghosts.

[even if he claimed his friend John was the Ghostbuster of the two]

How's your shoulder feeling?

[flyingsolos]

... Better, thanks. Am I allowed to keep practicing, sir?

[ the sass never truly dies. ]

[purrtagonist]

[oh my god]

Sure. I suppose I can sign a medical release saying as much, too.

[flyingsolos]

Perfect! Then I've got Iwai's approval too?

[ she knows you have your son, Akira. ]

[purrtagonist]

[as if on cue, their son pokes his head out from underneath Akira's hood again. hello!!]

Hm? Is my approval not good enough?

[flyingsolos]

Nope, it's a joint decision.

[ gently waving at the lizard, though. ]

[purrtagonist]

[if only the wizard could wave back. but in lieu of doing so, he crawls down Akira's arm, skitters across the table, and tries to crawl right up Rion's]

This suddenly feels like a very important, very diplomatic family meeting.

[flyingsolos]

Awww, hey! You're looking healthy.

[ she's just going to pat him with a finger. ]

I guess that's approval.

[purrtagonist]

[he is healthy!! Akira may be the worst lizard dad but he at least knows what to feed him]

Looks like it. But until your shoulder is fully healed, I'm going to say no to any attempts at carrying me.

[flyingsolos]

Oh, come on! Not even just a few inches off the ground?

[purrtagonist]

There's no rush, Kugayama.

[has she noticed he dropped the honorific]

[flyingsolos]

[ she sure did. He's slowly improving!! ]

I mean you never know... I do want to be prepared.

[purrtagonist]

[frankly he'd like to use her first name!! but he'll wait until she asks for it, or something]

There's a different between "being prepared" and "overworking yourself." Bruises heal in a matter of days, so don't worry. I won't hold out on you for long.

[flyingsolos]

I can't believe you steal from pickpockets and join criminal organizations, and you're sighing at me over a few bruises.

[ it's halfhearted mumbling at best, though. ]

But fiiine. I'm holding you to it, Kurusu-kun.

[purrtagonist]

I'm not stealing from pickpockets and joining criminal organizations with a hurt shoulder.

[JUST SAYING!!]

[flyingsolos]

... I bet it wouldn't stop you, though.

[purrtagonist]

I give you full permission to fuss over me when that happens.

[flyingsolos]

Accepted.

[ though please don't actually hurt yourself, Akira. ]
