[leapsandbound]

I forgive you.

[pauses, fingers in his hair, to smile :D]

But don't ever do it again or I'll kick you so hard you'll be shitting out your nostrils, okay?

Yes ma'am.

Good boy. Nobody makes my babies that upset and gets away with it while I have anything to say about it.

[pyxising]

. . . but I didn't mean to—o-oi.

[leapsandbound]

[looking away, leaning against him again]

Yeah, well ... I know better than just about anybody how fast our roads take us where we don't want to go.

You'll be fine. You're not the kind of guy who gets lost easily ...

[pyxising]

[leapsandbound]

Mmm.

I have a few things I want to say really quick, so just listen for a second, okay? I think ... right now, I need to tell you these things. But I'm not good at talking about myself, so ... please hear me out.

I never had anyone who loved me before Kaito. I didn't even know what it meant before him ... but I learned pretty quickly! When I was with Kaito, I didn't care if I died the next moment, or the next ... I didn't care if I knew it was coming, or I didn't.

Even after I died, I'm ... still, doing the same thing. I don't care what happens next, I just do what comes now.

[looking up at him, with her head still on his shoulder, her hilarious flexibility helping for this, a small, nostalgic smile on her face]

He really likes you, right? I can tell. That ... makes you family, as far as I'm concerned. So don't hurt him, if you can help it. I don't want to see anyone take my family away.

[looks at her for a long moment, then looks away. . . . but doesn't quite move away]

[shifts to rest on him more comfortably, looping one arm around his back in a ... well it's sort of a hug, or an embrace, or maybe just generally a supportive gesture]

[not saying anything because who needs wordssss when you have actionnnnn]

[pyxising]

[whatever it is, he's leaning into it '-']

[leapsandbound]
