[higekiri pauses, humming thoughtfully]

... do you think you'd be able to keep a secret from me?

[For a moment, he actually gives it some thought, and then he shakes his head.]

I tried, but... I didn't feel very good keeping it from you. It felt... strange here. [He touches his chest.] Like I had done something wrong.

I think I will always want to share things with you, elder brother.

[why the fuck is hiza so damn soft

higekiri blinks at that for a few moments - before nodding and then letting a hand come up to his brother's face]

And if there would be dangerous consequences, should you tell me something you weren't supposed to?

[Gently, he frowns.] If you would be hurt, I would have to keep it, elder brother, but... [He shakes his head, though not enough to jar the hand away.]

I would find a way to let you know without telling.

[higekiri just blinks]

You haven't tried to do anything like that yet, have you?

[It's his turn to blink.

And then he laughs, leaning forward to press their foreheads together.]

No. I wasn't given any secrets. Not here. The only secret orders I have is the ones our master gave us back home.

[ah -

higekiri just smiles at that, letting his arms loop around hiza's shoulders to keep him there]

Then it is the same for me.

But the people who have told me their secrets made it rather difficult - there are consequences if they are to say what they are able to do directly. I believe that um... Escha only told me of her own volition because she was about to meet her end - but even Nightbeak could not tell me unless I asked and gave him my suspicions as to why. But apparently he is able to receive items that are clues in exchange for completing tasks.

I have a theory that Kagachi also possesses an ability - but he could not confirm since I did not have enough grounding evidence. I also have a feeling that Nikori holds one too, but I still need to speak with him in order to determine more about it.

Please remember all that for me.

Mm.

[His listening is peak attentiveness, and his eyes don't flutter or leave Higekiri's until finished. Kagachi, Nightwing, and Nikkari. He's not sure what exactly he'd be able to do with this aside from pester them to help.

But even then, he thinks Dick and Kagachi especially would refuse him.]

I'll remember. Thank you, elder brother.

You're welcome.

[and then he'll just tilt his head]

So there are more people still that I need to find - presumably as many as nine others now. I suspect that Junpei may be one as well, but I need to ask him.

For the thirteen. [Well.] Twelve now.

[He nods like he understands, or he's agreeing.] Please be careful searching, elder brother. Perhaps one of the people with special orders is looking for others to get rid of them, or stop them. [He worries forever, okay.]

I'll help you search, too.

I'd appreciate it. There are a few others I suspect... but apparently we need some fairly grounded suspicions in order for them to be able to open up to us.

Like with Nightwing-san... [Suddenly, he gives a gentle start of recognition, eyes lifting.] Elder brother...

Nikkari-san... [His brows furrow.] When I sent Prompto-san a message, I gave it to Carlos-san to deliver. But... When I received a message from Prompto-san in return, Nikkari-san is the one who delivered it to me. He said he couldn't tell me how he received it, but he swore on his sword it was from Prompto-san.

I don't feel as if he was lying. The message seemed like one Prompto-san would send me.

[ . . . higekiri can't help but manage a small laugh at that]

They've made him the messenger of the departed...? Ah, how fitting.

[cute... and then he just pauses as he tilts his head]

You were able to talk to your friend...? I'm relieved. You've missed him, haven't you?

[he won't remember prompto's name literally ever but he at least watches hiza enough to know]

I thought so too.

[Which is why he didn't even question it? Nikkari, speaking to ghosts? It's fine obviously.]

Mm. The more the ship opens up to us, the more I miss Prompto-san's company. If only because I think he would have enjoyed what is here. [His eyes lower.] He hadn't ever seen a horse. I wanted to show him, but was unable.

[i'm so sorry for your gay but hige learned something else]

Oh... our brother also currently possesses a special ability.

[anyway]

Well, I believe we'll be able to bring them all back eventually...

[His lowered eyes slowly close.

why]

Grune-nii...? Do you know what it is...?

To protect someone from falling victim to a demon once each week.

[a beat]

... don't ask her to protect anyone specifically - and do not tell anyone else of her ability.

Ah... Grune-nii is so powerful.

[Wow, they sure are surrounded by people with abilities, aren't they? What the fu]

I won't, elder brother. I promise. We should keep Grune-nii safe as much as possible.

Mm, I agree...

[he tilts his head]

Later - after I confirm a few more things - I'll speak with you both regarding what else I've learned from this place.

Okay. Please be careful, Elder Brother.

[He won't not worry all the time.]

If many others know you are aware of abilities, they may target you. [Good thing Higekiri will probably forget and, in turn, has dumped all that info on his little brother. Ugh.] Or they may be angry if you pry.

[ . . . . he shrugs]

You'll keep everything important for me, won't you? I'm sure if you speak with... uh... Nightfeather on my behalf if something happens to me, then it'll be fine.

[so even if his body is gone, his brother will act in his place? he's very reliable.]

[Gently:] Nightwing. [A pause. And then he immediately looks incredibly mortified.] Elder brother! Don't say such things!

I won't let anything happen to you at all.

[Bold of him to assume he has control over that considering what happened to Prompto.]

[cute.... the earnestness is cute.

and higekiri will just press a kiss to hiza's forehead again at that]

If anything happens to me, it will be because of myself. Not you.

We possess our own bodies now, and we ought to take responsibility for them. Even though I will always rely on you... do not be upset with yourself if my path leads me to something unfortunate.

[Well, he FROWNS gently because his brother keeps saying awful things about not being here, and yet!! He can't say anything himself, or Higekiri threatens to gag him with a weird human toy!]

I know, but--elder brother.

[If he were a lesser sword, he'd whimper.]

I should always be there to help you fight, elder brother. Nothing should happen because I should be there...

[yea higekiri's a cheater

but honestly.... his expressions softens a bit at that. he'll just pull in hiza closer to him, as if the closeness in proximity will be enough to calm his worries]

... mm, I know. We both want that, don't we?

[it's not like he can pretend that he doesn't understand - he does. deeply. innately.]

But if for some reason we cannot... We will be reunited again shortly afterward. I'm sure of it.
