[So Yukio is testing something. Okay, yeah, that's good. It means Yukio has thought of something, that there might be another explanation.
Rin takes his sword off of his shoulder and holds it in his hands. There is a moment of hesitation and he glances at Yukio, but he finally draws his sword.
[Even if it's not Satan, that doesn't change the fact that for a moment there Rin really did almost burn his own brother. With that panic gone, self-loathing has settled in, making Rin draw in on himself and become far less outgoing. The only reason he hasn't run away is that he wouldn't get far without Rinkou.]
Rin knows that Yukio means physically there, and that there's deep-seated problems with their talks. But somehow those words are still a comfort to Rin, and they make him sigh and relax slightly.

But here he is, looking scared at what's happening. Scared in a way like he knows what's happening and can't stop it.
Finally, finally, something clicks in his mind.]
...how long?
[How long has Yukio had the blue flames?
How long has he been hiding it from Rin?]

Date: 2021-10-07 02:08 pm (UTC)Yukio's vision is clear, there's no haze of blue. It's not that.
It's not that. So it must be something else.
He shakes his head. He's forgetting something important. He's forgetting...]
.... draw the sword. [Before, when Rin drew his sword, nothing happened. Before, when Rin tried to climb a building, he got tired.
But there are blue flames flickering over his hand.]

Your flame is still sealed.
[Calm down, think it through.]
So this can't really be the blue flames.

Yukio, I...
["I'm sorry."
But those words are difficult to say.]

He didn't hurt Yukio. It's okay.]
Yeah, okay. I'll just...be more careful.
