I guess I was right not to bother testing decapitation the other night...
( Yeah, if he hadn't stopped at his arm his head would've been next on the list at some point. Fortunately, Mika correctly judged it was too risky to try. )
As for the glasses... I'm not sure. I think they fell off when he attacked me, and I'm... not sure if they're still in the courtyard or not. I haven't really gone back there since then.
( Spoilers: Cid grabbed them off the ground so maybe he's wearing them or something, )
They're... black, narrow glasses without rims on the top part. Perscriptionless. They might be broken now, but I'm not sure.
... Do you think it could have something to do with hearing Khun's thoughts?
It would have been quite the pity had I stumbled upon you as a corpse.
[ Jing Yuan supposes what he warned seemed to turn out prudent in retrospect; all the same, it points towards Mika not being careless enough to go for it in the end. Which makes all the more difference.
Whatever the case, he truly would rather not the other have been dead, and that remains true even now. ]
I'll head back to check; even though it's been a few days, they may still linger.
[ Which they won't since Cid, but it's...probably fine...? ]
I wouldn't rule it out. You haven't been hearing anyone else's thoughts, no? Only Khun's? [ Also, another question, to confirm: ] And only when you were wearing them?
( Jing Yuan is not the first to express relief Mika hadn't died, and he, possibly, would not be the last - and it settles weird in his chest each time, leaves an echo in the hollow where his heart's meant to be. It feels...
He thinks on the question posed, inspecting his memories carefully. )
... Just Khun's. Just when wearing the glasses. And just briefly. I had the glasses on when we started speaking, but I didn't hear his thoughts at first... but then it happened suddenly, which is when I told him about it. And he ended it pretty quick once I told him. It's part of why I thought it was a prank or something he was doing.
( This is all... such a headache. )
... Let me know if you find anything. I'll see if I remember more, too. ( And then, after a beat, just since Jing Yuan is a Westie, too: ) ... I'm not going to go after him, or anything, though. Not out of revenge.
( He'd only do it if he thought it would be a decent preventative measure for future indiscretions, but he's been thus far convinced out of that, so. )
[ Get used to being cared for, Mika. It will do good for your health, or...it will bring about various complications, but still be worth it?!
But, anyways, that sure is something.
Jing Yuan is listening closely to the words being spoken to him, and hm. ]
Hmm...it's unlikely to be a coincidence. This will do for now, though it certainly be more conclusive if we still had the item with us.
[ Quite a headache! Jing Yuan will simply have to keep an eye out for it, he supposes. ]
Very well. I shall indeed let you know about any further results of any more findings, regardless. After all, I doubt that the oddities will end here, and we should remain ever-vigilant so that nothing so dangerous occurs once more. [ ... ] But, I am glad to hear you will not try to end his life.
Regardless of who started what, or who tried to kill who, I'd stop all parties involved myself.
[ It doesn't matter the reasoning, it doesn't matter who is from which Country; if they started it, he will finish it, without anyone dying. Jing Yuan will not condone such dangerous in-fighting. ]
... Fine. If it ever comes to that, I'll expect you.
( AKA if he ever really wants to end Khun or someone else he will accept Jing Yuan's attempt to interfere... whatever that means. (It's just a sign of tentative respect, really. He's never going to be happy to have his attempts to kill someone stopped, but. Jing Yuan is better than anyone else, maybe.) )
I'll leave you be. ( Since Jing Yuan's clearly recovered and... fine with things, as surreal - and a little awkward - as it is for Mika to just ... get off scott-free. ) If you want something, you know where to find me.
Well, even so, Mika's response is certainly something. Not many would have the desire or even wish to show any bit of grudging respect someone declaring themselves to be an interloper in future interruption of those they wish to target. All he can do is nod his head to that to stiffly acknowledge it, as it's something like an agreement. ]
I do.
[ Ah, wait, before he leaves he sort of awkwardly tacks on: ]
I appreciate you coming by, Mika. Have a good night and rest well.

...Do you happen to still have them with you?
[ As for the rest, Jing Yuan gives it the appropriate amount of pause that it deserves. ]
So you could tell when you were about to enter your death throes on account of having experienced it before.
While I can't say that sounds pleasant, it is good you were afforded something like a warning of some sort.
