week 3 after the execution ig??

[crazily]

[ Or something like that... Time doesn't matter okay. ]

[ Though as Urashima is looking for Break, he'll at least not have to look very hard. Break is predictable enough in his routines, so while he's out of his room for a while to talk with Gilbert, he'll return before long. He has his door cracked, which at least means that he'll talk to anyone that comes by. Urashima is welcome to knock, though he could also just come in. ]

[ Break nods ]

Mm, that's right~. You two have a rather similar outlook on life, I'd say. Though Oz is more of a hellion than you are.

[ This isn't even rude, it's just factual. Oz bullies Gilbert just as much as Break does. Actually, almost more, since Oz is making up for lost time. That's what Break would guess, at least. He sighs, then waves a hand in Urashima's direction. ]

Oz is Gilbert's master. Gilbert is very... [ creepy ] devoted to him.

( Well, dang, this sure did get awkward and he shifts uncomfortably to himself. Really, there's a lot that Urashima doesn't understand here but he still feels sorry for Gilbert. He's such a nice person... the idea that Urashima reminded him of someone important back home feels sorry. )

...He must think about him a lot already.

( And doesn't need any other reminders. He feels rude for prying like he had because this wasn't something he needed to know. Rubbing his arm awkwardly, he wonders if Break is going to say anything else about this person. Hopefully he won't because it isn't his business but just in case, he let's Break know that he's been told enough, )

Sorry, I didn't mean to pry. ( With a small bow (not that Break can see), he adds ) But thank you for telling me, Mr. Break.

[crazily]

[ Why is he apologizing? At least the first one Break had goaded him into lightly, but now it just makes things more awkward. It gets him to pause in his light-hearted teasing, and Break hesitates before he just ends up sighing and dropping his hand back to his side. ]

You're not prying.

[ He almost tells Urashima to stop apologizing, but he doesn't quite go that far. Instead, he does feel a nagging feeling to explain a little further. ]

I'm the one that told him to be careful. Just practically speaking, most of us are going to die. [ It's blunt, almost callous, but at least that sing-song tone is gone. Break is pragmatic, and he feels like his pragmatism is partially to blame here. Maybe this is his form of an apology in a way. ]

Gilbert... cares a lot for others. I told him to be careful not to get too close to people for that reason, and that's just how he's chosen to do it, most likely. It's nothing personal.

[minogame]

( Except it does feel like prying when Gilbert himself never said anything to him about any important person. And now he feels like he's gone around him and gotten the information out of Break... he's innocent enough that this feels manipulative about this? )

Twenty-nine. ( That is, if only seven people are guaranteed a chance to go home. He did the math a long time ago and while he doesn't like to think about it, it doesn't change the fact that those are the statistics. A lot of people are going to die and in his opinion, most of them are (and have been) good people. ) If only seven people can go home.

( So, he knows and understands what Break is saying. He acts like a child and in a lot of ways, he is one, but he's not hopelessly unaware. That said, it isn't a topic he wants to talk about, not when there are so many still alive. He can accept the idea of something bad happening but actually discussing it? The only thing worse is actually enduring it.

Nor, does he really want to talk anymore about Gilbert when he isn't around. It feels wrong to him and he's quiet in response for a long time, wondering if he should just leave now and the best way to do that. )

... How is your eye?

[crazily]

[ Break is actually a bit surprised again, since he hadn't actually expected Urashima to be just as aware of the numbers as he was. It wasn't quite that he thought that he was stupid, but it was simply an unpleasant truth. He wouldn't hold it against people too much for wanting to deny it, but Break simply can't ignore it. So he nods, though he doesn't say anything else to that. There's nothing he'd quite to say to Urashima on that topic anyways.

Though the question that follows isn't quite a surprise. It gets him to smile, and he shrugs it off easily. He's a bit dismissive about it, but that's just also something he doesn't want to tread too deeply into. That's just ultimately more personal in a painful way that he's reluctant to share with even the people he considers dear friends. ]

Ahh, it'll be fine~. Don't worry about me. It's obviously seen worse, you know~.

[minogame]

I don't know~.

( And just like that, Urashima bounces back, trying to copy Break's sing-song sort of speech right there.

He's playing around because I mean... clearly, if he lost an eye, it's seen worse but look, he doesn't know Break's life he doesn't know Break's story and he doesn't want to know because then he'd probably be wondering where the heck was the Sword Army to stop Break's bad decisions when he needed them. )

Mmm! I'm going to go look for Mr. Gilbert now, okay?

( That sure is a hasty sort of retreat back out the door and he'll start to close the door but stop, opening it up wide again real quick to say loudly, )

And if you need any help let me know! At least, until your eye is better, al~right? Don't take advantage of just Mr. Gilbert because he's really nice, got it?

( He doesn't even wait for an answer before he really leaves. )
