I'll try. But you know, I'm pretty good at getting people to hold grudges against me.

[Summary of the last 8 months of his life.]

...thanks, Yukio. If we work together it'll be okay, I'm sure of it.

[reflash]

... [Yukio can't be sure of that. At any point, here or at home.]

We just need to figure out how to get home.

[aono]

[His face falls a little when Yukio doesn't affirm Rin's words.

And then he sticks his hands in his pockets and looks away.]

Yeah...we'll find a way home. Then we can get the Order on top of all of this or something.

[reflash]

I think they have better things to do than deal with all of this. Sir Pheles might take an interest, but most of the Order wouldn't mind if you stayed here.

[aono]

I thought we were looking for a way home? Why would I stay here?

[reflash]

We are, nii-san. [At least if Yukio's sounding slightly annoyed that's better than polite distance.]

The Order won't bother to deal with this, and most of them wouldn't mind throwing you back here if they could.

[aono]

...oh.

[NOW he gets it.]

Ssssso I guess this place will be our little secret.

[reflash]

Do you really think anyone would believe us if we told them?

[aono]

Probably not. We've had to lie about so much stuff already just to be believed.

[reflash]

[There's a breath from him that's sort of the edge of a laugh, one of those not-quite-right smiles twisting the corners of his mouth.

But it doesn't turn into anything more, and he doesn't say anything.]

[aono]

[YUKIO YOU'RE DOING RIN A STARTLE]

[reflash]

[IT'S FINE HE'S FINE]

You're right about that, nii-san.
