Heeeeh...

Then that would make us not codependent either, wouldn't it?

[evenimprobable]

[entirely deadpan, but joking:]

Can you function without me, Kaito?

[vulpine_hijinx]

... take a while. But probably.

[evenimprobable]

[. . . wasn't expecting an answer]

. . .

[vulpine_hijinx]

[yeah, not. looking at when he notices the surprise]

[evenimprobable]

. . .

[gosh. k-kind of quietly, embarrassed almost]

Well, we know I can't.

[vulpine_hijinx]

... you made it a year, at least.

[shoulder pat]

[evenimprobable]

[mutters]

If you want to call that functioning.

[vulpine_hijinx]

Oi...

[nudges]

[evenimprobable]

Hmm?

[vulpine_hijinx]

It's not a slight on you or anything... "functional" has a flexible meaning for me.

Like, if I had to go with a time I wasn't... when I first arrived here.

[evenimprobable]

. . . no, I'd agree. That wasn't . . . mm, your best moment.

[vulpine_hijinx]

Even the day after...

[rubs at his temple a bit] S'kinda a blur, so... yeah. Probably like that for a while...

[evenimprobable]

. . .

Ah. I know what that's like.

[vulpine_hijinx]

[... reaching out to give hairruffles]

[evenimprobable]

[doesn't lean into them this time]

I can't even say it's a blur . . . I just don't remember.

[vulpine_hijinx]

[8( draws back hand to tap at his own temple]

S'the one advantage, I guess...

[evenimprobable]

[scratches at his cheek a bit, a little . . . not self-conscious, but]

I don't envy you. —ah, don't take that the wrong way, but . . . I don't think I want to remember it.

[vulpine_hijinx]

I don't either.

[evenimprobable]

. . .

[just. stays quiet ._.]

[vulpine_hijinx]

[... flopping back a la icon]

[evenimprobable]

[. . . standing up]

I think I'm going to go for a walk. You're welcome to stay or come with.

[vulpine_hijinx]

... I think I'll just head back to my apartment.

Just don't go into the wild alone. Again.

[evenimprobable]

I I do decide to go out I'll bring someone with me.

[vulpine_hijinx]

[pushes self up and hops to his feet]

You'd better. I'll tell Watson-sensei if you don't.
