well, good. if you stop being a brat, then i won’t have to resort to something like that, you know ~ ? i play as nicely as my opponent and that’s all i can promise ~ .
for you, since you’re so inclined to avoid people. i mean, you do such a job to ensure that you’re alone that having someone around watching you might just ruin your day.
Ah.. right, of course.
I should have known. Having someone around probably wouldn’t ruin it completely - maybe just an inconvenience? Though whether or not it would be a major or minor one hasn’t been decided yet, obviously.
who says i meant my own? just that i have many people at my disposal, is all. while i’m not mean enough to expose you, i could find plenty of people who would drive you absolutely crazy. then you’d know exactly how i feel right now.
I see. Well.. thank you, I think? For not exposing me. Not for the fact that you could.. Ahh, Orihara-san knows some very scary people. How terrible.
And somewhere in another part of the city, Izaya feels like he’s being thought about — and laughs. A lot. [ // ahahaha i didn’t think hE’D ACTUALLY SEND THAt — ]
” Ah, but the thing is! Kida comes to me. He might tell you to stay away from me, but the truth is, he always comes crawling to me first! I have talked to him first a few times, but really, if we crash into each other, it’s either a coincidence, or he came to me, so I think he’s just a little too full of himself if he thinks I’d be looking for him. “
He rolls his shoulders in a casual shrug, then laughs, stepping around to stand behind Mikado. A hand rests on his shoulder, and he leans in against him.
” And between you and me, I can’t stand seeing Shizu - Chan’s disgusting face, so I try to avoid him as much as possible. I wouldn’t go looking for him, who’s that stupid, huh? “
“Kida-kun probably doesn’t want to see it that way, Orihara-san, whether what you say is true or not. And I’m sure he has his reasons for approaching you first anyway. I’m not going to pry into his business with you any time soon, if he still has any with you,”
Mikado shifts uncomfortably at the sudden intrusion of his personal space, though doesn’t move away lest it just make the situation worse somehow.
You are. “I don’t know. Shizuo-san seems like a very nice person, underneath his violence, but—If you can’t stand being around him then there’s no point in trying to convince you otherwise. So long as no one else gets involved in your spats…”
[ message ] You’re still responding. In light of that, I’m under the impression that you’re not annoyed enough with me for me to be taking my leave.
[ message ] How boring. Just ’ fine? ’ Give me a little bit more to work with here ~ . How am I supposed to comment on something so neutral? — Ahh, but since you asked too …
[ message ] I guess things have been interesting here. Shizu - Chan bought me lunch the other day, and I saw Dotachin in the sweets shop in the afternoon!
[ text: ] I could stop replying now, if you like. [ text: ] Everthing has been surprisingly normal recently. Or, as normal as Ikebukuro can be. There’s nothing worth commenting on. [ text: ] Oh, that’s nice. Are Shizuo-san and Kadota-san doing well?
