[He's utterly exhausted, after Asuka nightmares, noctaere, warehouses and turning twenty-six. The strain shows around his eyes and in his voice. As a result, he's more caustic than not, and isn't thinking in terms of people's (mainly Sena's, in this case) feelings.]

If you're still alive, call me.

I've spoken to Iris, Ken, and Alice since that--ordeal began, but that's it. I'd like to know who needs funeral arrangements made up before the week is out.

[Beat. Youji forgot to turn the Dreamberry off.]

I'm too old for this, this is not how I was expecting to spend my twenty-six--oh hell, it's still--[CLICK.]

[lulz. COME ON YOUJI YOU'RE AGING LIKE A FINE WINE.]

[carrying-hope.livejournal.com]

Nah, I don't like kicking people when they're down anyway.

[cheeky little shit, ain't he? he's even smiling a little.]

[BUT STILL AGING. THEREIN LIES THE PROBLEM.]

[Youji is entertained by this.]

It might be the only chance you have.

[hey, Sean Connery is still a sexy bastard even at nearly-80.]

[you can totally still get the girls when you're old, Yotan.]

Oh, right, go for the short joke. And here I was trying to keep the high ground. Bastard.

[Hee.]

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Keep it. Your need is greater than mine.

[I need an icon with him sticking his tongue out. :<]

[carrying-hope.livejournal.com]

Ass. I take back the 'happy birthday.'

[yah rly. Does such a thing exist?]

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

That's fine. This kind of verbal workout is the best present you can give me.

[sadly, I think not. :<]

[carrying-hope.livejournal.com]

Oh good, then I don't have to go looking for a present for you. I'm too young to go pick you up alcohol or strippers, so I had no idea what to get you.

[D= If he'd lived longer than 10 episodes there would be.]

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

I don't need an actual stripper. I don't have to pay them.

But now I know what to do for your birthday.

[:< wry. oh right. BAIT.]

[carrying-hope.livejournal.com]

They let a corrupting influence like you within half a kilometer of a school? I'm shocked.

[Very, very bait.]

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Hey, hey. I limit my corrupting influence to those above the age of eighteen.

Persia knows this entirely too well.

[carrying-hope.livejournal.com]

And yet here you are insinuating things of a decidedly corrupting nature, involving a 16 year old.

Shame on you.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

You're an assassin, you don't count.

[carrying-hope.livejournal.com]

I was also one of your students, Kudou-sensei, that makes me count double.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Mm, I think they cancel each other out, myself, but fine. Be that way. When your birthday rolls around, I'll just get you a sweater.
