The same substance, in a tea spoon's fill is cure, in excess is... hmmm. Poison.

Well, Paracelsus be bless-damned, I shouldn't want more than a bite of you nomad tribes any-the-how. Unless you bring and maybe sing news, or blood offerings, or prayers.

But mostly news. Come, come, parasites. I'll take your news.

You know, best thing to do with this guy sometimes?

Just ignore him.

By the way. Hey. How you doing? Bastard.

[highestangel]

It's pretty damn hard to ignore someone wearing--

Mudou!

[beyourarmy]

Eh, it can be kinda hard to ignore him. Yeah. But sometimes you just gotta.

Yeah, who else would I be?

[highestangel]

You ain't doing the best job of it yourself.

I dunno. Did we all end up here? Then... then Kira's gotta be around this dump somewhere, right?

1/3

[beyourarmy]

Yeah, but I'm handling him. At least I was.

Insert obligatory interlude of emo

[beyourarmy]

[beyourarmy]

I....

No. I haven't seen him. But I guess you never know with all the people we've seen here already.

[highestangel]

What's with you, Mudou?

[beyourarmy]

What do you mean?

[highestangel]

You're acting like someone ran over your dog.

[beyourarmy]

What?

[Crap. Was he?]

It's...just like I haven't seen you in a while, it's been a while since I've seen him, 'kay? [There are some things even Setsuna Mudou doesn't say. He CAN hold his tongue, just not often.]

[highestangel]

No it hasn't.

[He looks downright perturbed.]

You hit your head when we threw you in that fountain or what?

[beyourarmy]

[Now he fully gets it, understanding what TIME Katou is from.]

Oh. That's the last thing you remember? See. It's different for me. That's far from the last thing that happened to me.

[highestangel]

... You hit your head. Goddammit.

[beyourarmy]

If I did, it'd be your and Kira's fault, wouldn't it?

But no, Katou, that's not what happened. [He laughs a little.]

Here. This help prove my point? [Have ALL SIX WINGS out for your display.] I didn't have this many back then, did I?

[highestangel]

[rather questionable remains of a brain....]

[attempting to process...]

[and the attempt failed]

I'm dead.

[beyourarmy]

[That...wasn't quite what Setsuna wanted to get at. His wings droop to that, folding behind his back and he looks away.]

Yeah. [Then he shakes his head.] But not! You're here. See? Right now. So...just let me enjoy this time with you, and let's not focus on that, 'kay?

1/3

[highestangel]

[now c'mon Mudou you just can't be serious here]

[highestangel]

Dead dead?

[cagedsanctuary]

[ Ignoring him is what began this, Setsuna.

HAVEN'T YOU LEARNED FROM HER MISTAKES?]

[beyourarmy]

[Well, he kinda did. But Katou probably could afford to ignore him.]

You just gonna stare at me?

[cagedsanctuary]

I was trying to be invisible.

[No hurt feelings.]

[beyourarmy]

For that you'd have to be not be around at all. You kinda stand out.

[cagedsanctuary]

...

[She was hoping Rosiel didn't notice her.]

[beyourarmy]

[Looks at her, worried at her silence. He can guess why, too, but he doesn't even dare turn in Rosiel's direction or say his name. It's the least he can do for her.]
