四十三 (Accidental Voice Post, Japanese)

[The transmission cuts in to the sound of shifting fabric and a lone pair of footsteps hitting along the asphalt. It must have turned on in one of his jacket pockets by accident.

Out patrolling the streets, there isn't much else to be heard past the occassional breeze or the distant howl of one of the wild wolves.

Suddenly, he stops. His breath hitches, and his fist comes slamming down against the side of an abandoned building with an audible WHUMP.

After a few seconds, a bit of crumbling rock can be heard falling to the ground, and the walk continues on until the feed times out.]

So you're dealing with the problem on the outside so to inwardly leave it alone?

[Oof. Why so perceptive, Yuuko?]

...

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Hmph. If it was only that simple.

[dreamgranter]

[Because being /that/ perceptive scares the living hell out of people~]

I can see why it wouldn't be, but it's as good of an attempt as any other.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

That's reassuring.

[dreamgranter]

Sarcasm isn't any better.

...Then I guess I'll need more practice.

[dreamgranter]

Wouldn't it be best to hope we won't have any more occurrences such as the latest one so you won't have to resort to your coping mechanisms?

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Past experience doesn't make that sound very likely, Ichihara-san.

[dreamgranter]

So I've noticed. But having faith in the future is still worth a try.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...

[dreamgranter]

Do you have the means to defend yourself?

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[dreamgranter]

Do what you must, then.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

I will.

Take care, Ichihara-san.

[dreamgranter]

Likewise, Haruka-kun.
