[ malik is feeling considerably less social this weekend, but itsuki catches him before he can run and hide in the apartment. alas. alack. ]

It's fine. It's better than what happened on Saturday.

[nightchild]

[he can just do that sorry malik]

Ah. [his onesie...] Did you see Ma-kun after? What did he say?

[godcards]

No. I didn't see much of anyone last night except for the other Metallics. No matter... I wouldn't have wanted to talk to him anyway.

[nightchild]

[...]

That's fair.

[if itsuki had been the one shaken down by the man who actually did the murdering, then he'd be pretty pissed too.]

Will you go to the execution tomorrow?

[godcards]

Yes. He's going to get what he deserves.

[nightchild]

[...]

Whatever it is, it's not going to be as bad as what he thinks he deserves.

[godcards]

That's going to be for him to deal with when he faces judgement.

[nightchild]

Judgement, huh?

[hmm]

Better to face it from Ryu-kun's hands -- or ours, don't you think?

[godcards]

No.

Whatever he's going to face is beyond us. Whatever is going to decide his fate will also decide his judgement... As much as I would like to offer my input on the matter, it's beyond me. And you, too...

[nightchild]

Wish I could think of it like that. I don't know much about the afterlife though, so.

[maybe malik is right, that it's beyond itsuki's control.]

I've only ever thought of in terms of the people who have to deal with it.

[godcards]

Death is another facet of life. We all die.

[ sure, there's emotional fall out, but? it's nature. it happens. ]

You can't stop the inevitable.

[nightchild]

[there's a complicated expression on itsuki's face for a moment, then]

Better to focus on what you can control, huh.

[godcards]

[ oh. he didn't expect him to get an accurate read on the situation. ]

...Yeah.

[nightchild]

[hello itsuki has a brain cell??? though he's mostly been caught up in his feelings about all of this to think very clearly about it,]

It'll be hard to keep that in mind, but I'll try.

[especially when they have so little they can control]

[godcards]

I'll find something for you to read. It might help.

[ he's trying to be dismissive, but also, ]

[nightchild]

[oh?]

Yeah? [he looks surprised at the offer, but pleasantly so] I'd appreciate that, Mu-kun.

[godcards]

[ WELP now that's he's gotten... probably too over familiar for his liking-- ]

I'll see you around. Maybe in the library...

[ or maybe sensually grappling garou, but who is to say? ]

[nightchild]

[u really reminded me of that tl

Itsuki will hold up a hand and wave at him,]

Yeah, until next time. [sensual grappling...]
