[why is shess coming up at all??

but he blinks in surprise.]

[leaberator]

It came up when I talked to him about your little road trip. You don't know what it's about, either?

[nonbelligerent]

First I've heard of it.

[leaberator]

Huh. Wonder who could've made him promise that...

[ ah ]

Though I got somethin' that might cheer you up after all that. [ he goes through his pocket-- and takes out what Shess might recognize as Hisoka's talisman. ]

[nonbelligerent]

[...]

You agreeing to Hisoka's deal is supposed to cheer me up?

[leaberator]

Wow. Maybe I stole it.

[ :T ]

[nonbelligerent]

Did you?

[leaberator]

........

Yes.

[nonbelligerent]

[AXEL??]

You do realize he's going to suspect you immediately?

[SHESS IS SO ALARMED NOW.]

[leaberator]

There really is no winning with you, is there?

[ he sighs ]

Yeah, I made a deal with him. What was I supposed to do, let him have it?

[nonbelligerent]

[............]

I suppose not, but...

[this is so bad, axel.]

[leaberator]

[ he .... knows.............. it's fine ]

It'll be fine. At least now we don't have to worry about it.

[nonbelligerent]

Just make sure he doesn't take it back.

Will you be all right?

[leaberator]

I'm gonna give it to someone else for safe keeping, don't worry about it.

[ he smiles, crossing his arms behind his head ]

I'll be fine, worrywart. It's not like I agreed to sell my soul or anything.

[nonbelligerent]

You're probably going to regret it by tomorrow.

[leaberator]

[ implying he doesn't already regret it? ]

Yeah, but it's worth it.

[nonbelligerent]

[...]

Well, as always, I appreciate your valiant sacrifice.

[leaberator]

Right.

[ he's at least amused at that ]

... Hey, look, don't tell anyone else, alright? One worrywart's enough for me.

[nonbelligerent]

You think I go around reminding people of your partnership?

[leaberator]

[ he waves a hand around ]

You know what I mean.

[nonbelligerent]

Who would I tell, to begin with?

[leaberator]

[ he puts a hand to his forehead ]

... Never mind, forget I said anything.

[nonbelligerent]

Namine was worried about Hisoka possessing the charm, though...

[leaberator]

Shess.

[ no. ]

[nonbelligerent]

Don't worry, I won't tell her.

But you should probably tell her something. I think she blames herself a little for not blocking Hisoka from it.
