he was being super cagey about it
doing the whole 'but what if it ruins our friendship' deal
clearly he didn't take my advice about parties being a good place to get to third base

[reformedsinner]

That depends on the party. Some of them are a very, very bad place for it.

[Like moon viewings. As a random example.]

I think they must both have remembered a thing or two since that point.

[redotiertwo]

that last one was mostly fine
except for all the guards
and chikusa seems like the kind of guy who just avoids guards without even having to think about it

nah he was still doing that shit after he remembered the guy
excuses galore
i was kind of secondhand embarrassed

[reformedsinner]

Wait, was this at the formal dance?

[Chikusa was with it enough at the dance to make excuses about confessing his feelings to Ken? Well, Hakkai'd been in no shape to pay attention to his shinki's feelings by the time they'd served dinner. He's not entirely surprised he missed it.]

It must have been well after we arrived. Goodness, maybe I should talk to him.

[redotiertwo]

yeah
what did you think i was talking about
that shitshow of a moon viewing

i mean ive been trying
hes just being dumb and stubborn
even though anyone not oblivious as fuck shouldve figured it out by now

[reformedsinner]

Perhaps. Although that would have been a bad time to have a serious conversation.

You never know! Multiple viewpoints sometimes are more convincing than just one.

And Ken can be oblivious to some things.

[redotiertwo]

a really bad time
like
the fucking worst time
if nothing like that night ever happens again i can die happy for the second time

oh right thats the dog dudes name
i havent really talked to him
but he does kind of seem like the oblivious type

[reformedsinner]

Definitely the worst! Ha ha.

It's an easy name to remember. It's written "dog."

[redotiertwo]

wow thats
appropriate
obvious foreshadowing if nothing else

[reformedsinner]

I can't speak with authority, of course, but it's so appropriate I have to wonder if it's a nickname!

[It's also the name he'd given Ken as a shinki. It will, at least, let him blend in with the older ones, so long as he doesn't give his surname as well.]

[redotiertwo]

maybe he named himself
its not quite max power tier naming but its still suspiciously accurate

[reformedsinner]

Hmm. Also possible, I suppose.

[Unless Chikusa named him, they may never know. Hakkai shakes his head, amused, and then adds a second text.]

Incidentally, if you want any of those cookies, you'll have to hurry. I believe I hear the two of them outside.

[And Ken's attitude towards food is very like Goku's.]

[redotiertwo]

im not really doing much
so i can probably come now
if you can squirrel some out onto the back doorstep or some shit to save them from the oncoming purge

[reformedsinner]

I'll defend them with my life... but you may still need to hurry.

[redotiertwo]

try not to sacrifice yourself for the sake of crunchy baked goodness in the meantime
or do
dont let me tell you how to live your life

[He will, however, be around to pick the cookies up reasonably promptly.]
