[leggymaru]

Yes.

[Aside from the fact when he gets closer to Junpei, there are soft red whelps under the mesh spilling behind his shoulders. And there's a few bite marks low on his neck. He doesn't seem bothered?

He even smiles a bit in return for the grin.]

I wanted to see how you were doing, Junpei-san.

[crashout]

[Hm...glad the puppy-sword banged. That seems to alleviate some of his concerns, but...well no actually that doesn't mean much. It's fine.]

I think I'm okay. [Think, because this is still one hell of a cruise he doesn't want to be on, but he's alive so that's something.] Keeping busy?

[Look he'll just...ask in the most subtle way possible, that shirt does not hide much!!]

[leggymaru]

[Enthusiastically, he nods because he's a good boy and nothing seems wrong with keeping busy at all. The shirt really doesn't hide much, it's unfortunate.]

I've been outside since it's very nice. And visited the... aquarium? I liked it. Illumi-san and I played a sparring game, too. And I watched Kagachi-san make a holder for his weapon.

[He's so proud. He's had a lot of fun!]

I'm sorry about Carlos-san. Sometimes, even we become sad when our comrades leave on missions. So I wanted to see how you were feeling. And if you've had sex. Because of the Thot.

[crashout]

Making friends all over the place then. [Not that he could consider Illumi and Nice in the same sentence but some people are good with that.] I've been checking out the aquarium and helping Kagachi, too. It's kind of weird that everything opened up isn't it? But the new places aren't bad.

[At the mention of Carlos, there's a softer grin.] ...I'm sorry about him, too, but I'm okay. He said he wasn't going that far, so I have to believe that. I wish it hadn't turned out this way but what good is wishing going to do? I'm better.

[He's about to say something else, but. Like. Hm.] I hate that I have to ask you this, but what exactly is "the Thot"? [Christ is this what they named the demon.]

[leggymaru]

[Oh no! Junpei seems sort of okay? Moving along. It gets Hizamaru to beam softly. He's so glad Junpei is not being sad (that he thinks).

The smiling fades slowly into perplexity. He blinks. Very earnestly:]

Oh. The demon!

[crashout]

[He'll explain why he's less sad in a minute because right now this is kind of hilarious.]

We gave the demon a name? [This is fine.] I didn't know.

[leggymaru]

[Please be nice to him, he's stupid.]

Oh, it already had that name! Wei Wuxian-san [there's the culprit] said that was how it was banished, by name. Remember? When he said, "Begone, Thot"!

[crashout]

[Yeah this explains a lot.]

Ah, I see. You're right. Somehow I missed that. [He could correct him but...nah.] Well, don't worry about me and the Thot.

[That's sort of an answer.] ...and it looks like you've been taken care of, too? [There's a little wave of his hand toward Hizamaru's neck.] Prompto told me you guys had a deal.

[leggymaru]

I'm okay, yes.

[Almost as if he had forgotten, his hand rises to gently touch his neck. Oh right, the marks. Whoops. Maybe a bad choice of clothing today.]

A deal...?

[crashout]

[...just...a headpat. Which is funny since Hiza's still taller than him but it's fine.]

Maybe not a deal. [Words.] But, uh, he said that you offered to help him before, so...I kind of just assumed.

[leggymaru]

Oh! About the sex. [Wow, he thought for a moment he was turning into Higekiri and forgetting something.] Yes. I asked Prompto-san, and he said he would think about it.

Then when we learned about the demon, I asked if he was okay. He said he was going to ask me, but I told him it didn't have to be me if he didn't want it to be.

I didn't want him to be hurt, so I didn't dissuade him.

[crashout]

It's just sex, Hizamaru. "The" isn't necessary. [Patiently. But. Ah?]

...sounds about right. [Prompto has some issues, it's okay.] But you get that it's sort of a thing both of you should want to do, don't you?

[You can still be choosy when it's fuck to survive, apparently.]

[leggymaru]

Okay. Sex.

[Ahh, so kind. Thank you, Junpei.]

I understand. I want to have sex with Prompto-san.

[crashout]

[There's a nod. Good sword.]

Then...that's a good thing. [Does the Sex for Dummies book even talk about consent, he hasn't read the stupid thing.] We're going to have to get really comfortable with each other really fast...but I'm glad he went to you. I was kinda worried about him.

[leggymaru]

[He peers at Junpei for a moment or two, curious.]

I was worried, too. He said... before... he was waiting to do something like that with someone special. I'm sorry he didn't get to, but... I don't want him to be possessed by a demon.

[crashout]

[And in this moment, Junpei realizes Prompto and Hizamaru deserve each other for being dumb bitches.]

You did the right thing, okay? Don't feel sorry about that. And anyway, you guys are friends aren't you? Friends are still...y'know. Special. Knowing Prompto he was grateful.

[leggymaru]

[Yeah, they are... sure something. At the reassurance, he nods.]

You're right, Junpei-san. I'm sorry. I would rather Prompto-san be okay than him waiting for someone special. [SO DUMB.] If we're friends... that's good enough.

[crashout]

Yeah, exactly. Sometimes...it's easier if your first time is with a friend you trust, so...it worked out. That's why it's important people get to know each other better here.

[...] I'm fine for this week, too. I think I forgot to mention that, but that's just for this week. We still have...well. We don't know how many weeks we'll have of this. I asked Chuuya-Red and he wasn't sure.

[leggymaru]

[He nods again.]

We have to have sex every week to keep the demon away? Do you know... what we must do to banish it completely, Junpei-san? How to find us a way to return home?

[crashout]

[A nod to the question...but now he just looks disappointed.]

...I'm working on it. I promise. [It's weighing on him even if it's not solely his responsibility. He's not Nightwing. He's not a hero or anything stupid like that, but he's the one who's played these games before and he's the one with ideas of what may save them. Why wouldn't he try?]

The thing that's a little worrying is...I wonder if we'll have to face them eventually. Take them out ourselves. We can't run forever.

[leggymaru]

Junpei-san... You don't have to work on it alone. [It's true, Junpei isn't Dick Grayson. But even Dick Grayson shouldn't be working on it alone. Not that Junpei is completely.] I can help you, if you need it...

[He frowns.]

I would rather not run at all. There must be a way to... I'm not sure. This isn't... I'm not as skilled as Nikkari-san or Wei Wuxian-san in these things. There must be a way to banish it. But Wei Wuxian-san... says it isn't best to draw it out yet.

[crashout]

[...] You're always so quick to offer help. But I know. When I need help, you'll be one of the first I call.

I've been talking to Wei Wuxian, too, about how we can try to make barriers and test some things. We don't know what we're dealing with or how we can fight it. I don't like running but if all we can do is just barely stay ahead...what's worse? Constantly being on our toes, or facing it head-on?

[...and then he remembers who he's talking to.] Don't face it head-on.

[leggymaru]

[Ha ha! Bold of Junpei to assume he won't face it head-on anyway given the opportunity! Swords! Remember Plasma? Funny.]

We can... face it when we're prepared. [He'll accept that much; it'll be what they have to do in the end probably, he thinks.] Please be careful, Junpei-san.

[crashout]

[NO!]

Only if you do the same. [...but for something lighter:] I want to make sure you and Prompto are taken care of and stay safe. So...don't forget to come to me if you guys need something. Prompto's got a lot of nervous energy, but he's helped a lot. So have you.

[leggymaru]

You’re so kind, Junpei-san.

[It’s so good Junpei can wrangle two puppies so well. Nice. The praise even gets a bit of a flush out of him.]

We will come to you. Prompto-san... is one of my favorite humans. [This is before he finds out Prompto’s little branded secret.] I told him you would help him, too, if he needed it. If... he didn’t want to have sex with me.
