...You can't discount a very finely controlled chainsaw that cuts through just the skull and just chips the brain a little... It's not impossible.

[ That's not how it works but it could work. ]

...I'll wear a helmet from now on, and then we don't have to worry how a chainsaw works.

[ If there aren't any helmets, cat eat headbands will have to be enough. ]

Be careful around those chainsaws too, Lea. Never know when one might ambush.

Smart people get lobotomized too. You can't be too careful around chainsaws.

So? You look ridiculous without one too.

[personal profile] compendiem 2019-07-19 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
It's not a bad thing. I like ridiculous people.

[personal profile] compendiem 2019-07-19 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Not only that... It's that too, but you're also easy to talk to. Somebody easy to get along with, somebody I feel comfortable around, somebody that makes me feel safe... Even if it's like I just met you, the heart remembers what the brain doesn't, or something like that...

[ Or something like that. He shrugs. ]

You can ask me again when I remember more. But I think I like you most because you have a shitty sense of humor and laugh at my bad jokes.

[ I can do it because Minato's dead and Axel is not and therefore I don't have to suffer the consequences.

The laugh makes him laugh a little too, because it really is maybe the largest reason why he appreciates Axel so much. His jokes are bad, but they always hold a kernel of truth in them. And by laughing instead of scolding him, it's like Axel gets it. ]


I'm glad you think so. None of that was a joke, though. I hope you know.

[ Haha... It's a weak response, so Minato knows he won. ]

I'm going to blame everything weird on the brain damage, because I can.

It's a convenient excuse and I'll take it. You can always try me later and see what I say, right? Mild concussions take one to two weeks to heal.

[ And then he dies so nobody can tell ]

[personal profile] compendiem 2019-07-20 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
...Check back on me in four to six weeks.

[personal profile] compendiem 2019-07-20 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ come to the graveyard I miss Axel already ]

Maybe check back on me in between then, too. A month's a long time...
