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. ]

[purrtagonist]

[no promises]

[he holds his hand out from across the table, fingers extended, to allow Iwai a chance to skitter from Rion's shoulder back to the palm of Akira's hand]

If you're feeling better, I should probably get going. To get ready for tomorrow.

["get ready" he mostly means "eavesdrop some more himself" but ya know]

[flyingsolos]

Yeah, go for it.

[ likewise, Rion extends a hand to let Iwai complete his transfer, before she stands up. ]

And... thanks. Again.

[purrtagonist]

[the smile he offers her is small, but genuine]

Anytime, Kugayama.

[and then he pulls his hood back up over his head and makes his way towards the exit. now we need a new thread!!]
