How are you feeling?

[ He steps inside, shutting the door behind him. ]

[dadsandals]

Better. Thanks.

[ He'll take the bed, but Kurapika can take the chair. ]

Here to check on me?

[revengier]

[ And he will be taking that chair, immediately sitting down to manspread. ]

Of course I am. You got shot.

[dadsandals]

Thanks. If it's any consolation, I'm feeling a lot better.

[ Manspread buddies...hi5. (help me.) ]

I got lucky. I realize that.

[revengier]

You did.

[ But he thinks Malice got luckier in this situation, having someone who would take a bullet for him. ]

Your conversation with Malice was... enlightening.

[dadsandals]

[





. ]

Which...one...?

[revengier]

The one I was present for, along with a few other people healing you.

[ Your very public almost confession. ]

...What do you mean "which one"?

[dadsandals]

Oh.






I just talk to him a lot. That's why I needed to ask.

[revengier]

Believe me, I'm well aware. I hear the two of you talking quite often.

[ But don't worry, he's not snooping or anything. Mostly.

He can't help it if he hears snippets, okay? ]

I hope your conversation after everything settled... went well.

[ Delivered with all of the stiffness and grace one could expect from Kurapika. ]

[dadsandals]

Are you eavesdropping?!

[ Hello? Aren't they supposed to be friends!!! ]

And...yeah. I...yeah. It did.

[ He isn't pink. That's just Kurapika seeing things. ]

[revengier]

It's not eavesdropping if I can hear you from my room.

[ Hmph!!!

Unfortunately for Yamato, Kurapika's perception check succeeds and he very much notices those pink cheeks. ]

Care to share details? Friends talk about this sort of thing, right?

[dadsandals]

Kura, if you're trying to imply something, just say it.

[ He's unsure if this is actually what Kurapika is trying to do or if this is like. Just Kurapika not knowing anything. ]

[revengier]

[ Ugh. He hates having to actually speak these things aloud, despite being straightforward in just about every other way. ]

Well... you obviously have feelings for him.

[dadsandals]

[ .......

Should he tell the truth? Or make Kurapika go around in circles for a bit? Well -- ]

Hmm. Do you think he likes me?

[revengier]

[ He shrugs. ]

Probably on some level. He did say he didn't want a world without you... or something like that. People really only say that to those they like.

[ Yes, he's logic-ing his way through this. ]

[dadsandals]

[ ........

He can't argue against that. ]

Well, yeah. He does. And I like him, too.

[revengier]

Congratulations.

[ He means it sincerely... In any other circumstance, he would probably judge Yamato for caring about romance when they've got bigger things to worry about, but this is not a particular stone he wants to throw in his glass house. ]

I assume you're doing something about it?

[ A relationship. Not... other things. ]

[dadsandals]

I guess? It's not like we've talked about going on dates or anything, given our situation.

[ Good man, Kurapika, for not throwing stones from your glass house... Yamato's house is so thin, ok.... ]

I'm not sure if it'll actually change much, really.

[revengier]

...Have you kissed?

[ He has his own reasons for asking this, okay! ]

I think kissing changes things, but maybe it wouldn't for you.

[dadsandals]

[ HELLO? ]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't you think that's going too far?

[ He's not flustered....what do you mean. ]

[revengier]

Is it?

[ He doesn’t think so, but hey. Yamato is the flustered one here. ]

I’m only correcting your expectations.

[dadsandals]

...I mean...that's how he confessed to me, so...

[ He is very embarrassed. Help. ]

I guess you're not wrong about it.

[revengier]

[ He raises an eyebrow. Honestly, that’s probably fitting of Malice. He’s a bold guy. ]

Is that how confessions are normally supposed to go?

[dadsandals]

I don't know?

[ He really, genuinely doesn't have experience with this other than what he's seen on television, soooo... ]

It's a popular trope on television, but I don't know if this is considered "normal" in actuality. Still, I wouldn't say kissing someone without asking is a good idea. It just happened to work out for me, personally.

[revengier]

[ Imagine how Kurapika feels, as someone who doesn't want television. ]

You're right. It's a terrible idea. I really don't know why some people think it's a good thing to do.

[ He may or may not have a personal stake in this. ]
