<XYZ-RAPTOR>

[raidraptors]

[Shun doesn't comment the excuses; Reira seems to realize himself that none of that really impresses him.]

When you are told to stay put by one of us, it's in order to keep you out of danger. How am I supposed to trust your promise, if you don't listen to what you are told?

<CCC-REDHORSE>

[blurspot]

I've been staying now!

I've been trying

i got hungry

[He told Frodo he was 'getting food', that time of course. He was supposed to go to the forest whenever he was getting food though. He hadn't lied when he said it-but at the same time, he hadn't gone after he left the house.

It doesn't feel right to say that he really did tell someone where he was going, this time, because of that.

It was really just as bad as never saying anything at all.]

<XYZ-RAPTOR>

[raidraptors]

That doesn't answer my question.

[Don't try to sidestep him, Brat.]

<CCC-REDHORSE>

[soft_focus]

yes it did

[Hardly the time for sass, but he probably doesn't think he's meant to say it directly if the answer is 'obvious'.]

<XYZ-RAPTOR>

[raidraptors]

So any promise you make is worthless.

[Uncomfortable as it may be, that's the inevitable conclusion to reach from here, that Reira can't be trusted to listen.]

<CCC-REDHORSE>

[blurspot]

No!

I keep my promises!

I keep them, you're not allowed to break promises!

It's not their fault

<XYZ-RAPTOR>

[raidraptors]

You don't break your promises, but your hunger still trumps them.

[That's what Shun's been getting out of this, hence trust issues.]

<CCC-REDHORSE>

[blurspot]

No!

It didn't!

[At this point there's an odd keysmash of sorts, mostly caused by...well. Who knows what, but it wasn't intentional.

About twenty minutes later perhaps, a new response comes in.]

It's not Frodo's fault

I said I was going to get food

and then i got it

i don't know what happened after

<XYZ-RAPTOR>

[raidraptors]

[Shun frowns at the messages, eyes narrowing.]

What are you talking about?

<CCC-REDHORSE>

[soft_focus]

It's when I didn't listen properly.

I said I would do something and then I did it wrong.

It's not their fault.

[He's still not making much sense at all, at this point.]

<XYZ-RAPTOR>

[raidraptors]

[No, he really isn't.]

When was that?

<CCC-REDHORSE>

[soft_focus]

When Tsukikage went to Vandare.

He asked Frodo to make sure I was okay.

Tsukikage was back when I woke up though.

It's not his fault either though!

<XYZ-RAPTOR>

[raidraptors]

[When Tsukikage went to– that must have been back during the take over. Shun hadn't known that Tsukikage had gone, that the ninja had some stake in that battle. Well… unlike certain others he knows how to defend himself at least.]

I didn't say it was. Have you stayed inside when told to since that time?

<CCC-REDHORSE>

[blurspot]

I already did that.

I just have to tell someone if I leave and if they say no I can only go to the arcade.

<XYZ-RAPTOR>

[raidraptors]

[…God dammit, Reira.]

Did they say you can go to the arcade when you aren't allowed to leave?

<CCC-REDHORSE>

[soft_focus]

No.

I can't come back out anywhere but home so it's safe!

And I don't empty all of the food in the storage room, that way.

[Considering he comes over to teach this kid every now and then, he has likely seen that storage room.

And it is MASSIVE.]

[raidraptors]

This isn't a matter of safety. You were told to stay put, so going to the arcade is the same as going outside. No matter what that means for your storage room.

[He has seen it and he doesn't care. Better Reira empty that out every night, than to let him spend time in the arcade.]

[soft_focus]

No it isn't!

Everyone already works too hard to make it full, Tsukikage always works too hard already!

Why don't you like the arcade!

[raidraptors]

No matter what the Fourth has told or promised you, he’s not trustworthy. Going to him and the arcade should be a last resort only.

[Shun may be one of His, may act on His whispers and warnings, but he doesn’t trust, even nearly a year later. That’s not what working with the Fourth is about to him, after all.]

[soft_focus]

Is that what you thought of niisama?

[raidraptors]

What I thought of your brother doesn't relate to what I think of the Fourth.

[So, yes probably. Just that question is telling though. Shun'll have to talk with Tsukikage about this.]

[soft_focus]

That's not what I asked!

You can't be friends if you don't trust someone!

[raidraptors]

The Fourth isn't a friend.

[And Akaba Reiji hadn't been either.]

[soft_focus]

Did you tell him that?

[raidraptors]

I don't need to.

[He's never made a secret of what he thinks of their relationship after all. He has little doubt that the Fourth sees him as little more than a pawn to use and that is fine. Shun doesn't regard him much differently either.]
