I HAVE IT NOW

[fujimaru]

[ Frankly speaking, that wisdom is debatable, because Ritsuka whines for five more minutes, her eyes closed, and Minato gives her that. He's a nice boy. ]

[markofkaine]

[Sighs. That kid's too soft.]

[fujimaru]

[ She doesn't want to wake up, okay, this is probably the nicest bed she's slept in since arriving in this prison. :( ]

[markofkaine]

[As the guardian of a teenage girl, Kaine would've just grabbed her by the ankles and shook her upside-down for a bit.

But, he's not gonna intrude on the nice little moment she and Minato are having. He'll just lean against a wall and, look somewhere else i guess.]

[fujimaru]

[ She is resisting waking up, but eventually she is coaxed upright, swaying in place and blinking sleepily. When she sees him, she squints, then lifts a hand in a drowsy wave. ]

Hi...

[markofkaine]

...

[He debates saying anything at all. Then he thinks back to the googly eyed spider in her room.]

...Mornin'.

[fujimaru]

...!

[ She breaks into a wider smile at that, even if she's still clearly not entirely awake. ]

Yeah. How long was I asleep?

[markofkaine]

It's almost been a week, dumbass. We've been worried sick.

[fujimaru]

A wee--

Ohhhhh, I'm gonna be in so much trouble...

[markofkaine]

If by trouble you mean smothered to death at the bottom of a Cerberus pile, then yes.

[fujimaru]

I was thinking more that Da Vinci-chan is gonna yell at me a lot, actually.

[markofkaine]

[Raises brow]

No one's gonna yell at you. Or I'll yell at them harder.

[fujimaru]

I mean, if anyone's got the right to, it'll be her... she's kind of like my dad, in a way...

[markofkaine]

[do i have any idea how a good dad is supposed to act

no.]

Doesn't mean I won't punch her lights out if she makes you feel like this was your fault.

[fujimaru]

[ She blinks at him, more surprised than anything. ]

...You wouldn't join in with the yelling...?

[markofkaine]

I swear to God-- I'm close to tipping your bed over instead. C'mon.

[kicks a bedpost, with (faux?) impatience]

[fujimaru]

--Okay, okay.

[ Oh, he's being tsundere. Okay! She knows how that works. She scoots for the edge of the bed, sitting up and then getting to her feet, a little wobbly. ]

[markofkaine]

[ >:T ]

...Am I gonna have to carry you too?

[fujimaru]

I can walk! I just need to get my balance.

[ She was being honest, okay. She's wobbly, but she's managing. ]
