[ he grins, easy ]

Nothing's gonna happen to me. I am notorious for being hard to get rid of. Got it memorized?

[ god i hate him ]

[foodbin]

[As she looks at the ground, frowning:]

Just... don't let thinking that stop you from being careful.

[leaberator]

Aw, c'mon. Careful's my middle name.

[ he doesn't even have a last name. ]

[foodbin]

[She just gives him A Look.]

I'm not kidding.

[leaberator]

[ ah. ]

... 'Course I'm careful. I'm not in the market to die again anytime soon.

[foodbin]

I know you're not.

[She sighs.]

Sorry. I'm just in a bad mood, I spent this morning digging a bullet out of some stupid kid's foot after he left it there for two days.

[leaberator]

[ ... ]

Minato?

[foodbin]

I don't understand how he made it to seventeen.

[leaberator]

A lot of outside help from more responsible friends?

[foodbin]

It seems like that's probably what's going to get him through this, too.

[This would be a lot meaner if she knew who his partner was.]

[leaberator]

[ guess who does, though ]

... You don't know people's partners that well, huh?

[foodbin]

[A beat.]

...Oh, shit. Really?

[leaberator]

Kazuaki, yeah.

[ he doesn't say anything about the other one, mysterious ]

[foodbin]

So even if he gets paired with the other person who doesn't have a partner, whoever we vote for at the trial...

[leaberator]

We're one partner short, yeah.

[foodbin]

Dammit.

[She sighs.]

I'll talk to Lune or Sol.

[leaberator]

You think there's something they can do about it?

[foodbin]

Is there a point in not at least asking?

[leaberator]

No, I guess not.

[ it's thoughtful, and after a second, he says: ]

Fujino was Xion's partner.

[foodbin]

...What? Really?

[Hm. Bad.]

[leaberator]

Yeah.

[ he... hates this ]

[foodbin]

Well... There's still tomorrow to try and figure it out.

[leaberator]

... Right. Tomorrow.

[foodbin]

...We'll all do our best.
