It doesn’t matter.

[His gaze drops low, almost regretfully.]

It’s better if he accepts going home with you. There’s nothing he can do about me.

[bakaomi]

[ there's an odd feeling in his gut, and he can't really pinpoint what the emotion is. ]

He'll try anyway.

[moralmyopia]

I know. Annoying.

That’s why he has you.

[bakaomi]

What, so he can annoy me instead...?

[moralmyopia]

Doesn’t he do that already anyway?

[bakaomi]

Yes, but his attention is split here, so it's fine?

[moralmyopia]

Don’t use me as your crutch. You’re taking him back when you both go. Get use to it.

[bakaomi]

[ he snorts ]

I know. I'm pretty good at handling him.

[moralmyopia]

[The sigh is soft, but exasperated.]

Fine. [A pause.] I don't trust he won't do something stupid. I want you... to help him forget about me.

[bakaomi]

[ there's that feeling again, that small ache that's difficult to place but taka is getting an idea of what it is now. ]

Shouldn't he decide that?

[moralmyopia]

I know you aren't stupid enough to know he wouldn't change his mind. I also know you aren't stupid enough to realize he's just going to get hurt in the end.

I'm going back to Konoha. After this. There's some things I have to finish.

[bakaomi]

[ he's quiet for a moment as he processes this. ]

... it's probably fine to let him be happy for now though. [ ... ] I'll take care of him. So don't screw up while he's still here.

[moralmyopia]

[yes, let's agree to "break the cutie," taka]

Fine. [This doesn't seem to sit very well with Sasuke. Leading people on--in this manner. But, he sighs under his breath and relents.] I'll keep my eye on him.

Are you staying with Ruin?

[bakaomi]

[ listen taka doesn't actually think it'll work because he knows senri is fiercely stubborn but he figures this may be a conversation for later when sasuke didn't just lose an eye less than 24 hours ago ]

... mm.

[moralmyopia]

[Surprisingly, Sasuke doesn't press for anything else.]

...Be careful.

[bakaomi]

[ there's a pause, and he glances at the spot over sasuke's shoulder instead of directly at him ]

I'll do my best.

[moralmyopia]

[FRANCY WHAT THE HELL THIS IS OMINOUS

Sasuke searches Takaomi's face briefly, but doesn't say anything. He moves to leave, bypassing Takaomi as he goes. But

he lifts his hand as he passes and knocks two fingers against Takaomi's forehead without lingering or stopping]

Another time then.
