Hmmm. Right. [Rei's eyes idly follow the smoke that drifts in the air. Frosty neutrality is the best outcome he could expect, really.]

Well, then, Team Leader. [Rei closes his laptop with finality, standing up from the table. His moniker for Sasara contains none of the warmth it had earlier, putting a clear distance between them.] If that's all, I'll be seeing you later.

[Rei behaves like a threat, bringing his persona to bear. Stop digging. Stop digging. Stop digging before you regret it. But he's protecting himself-- protecting himself from caring about what Sasara might think-- just as much.]

[whosaysdajare]

[ Sasara gets what he's hearing. It's not the same but close enough to some past he only admits to with an airy, careless note—if at all. He's not in the business of solemn lectures. Team leader, he's that however. ]

W-wait! [ Just a moment, as much as Rei wants to dodge the rest of this talk and whatever it might turn into. ] What about Rosho?

[ With just that he's saying he won't run and tell him, though he stands up too. ] He's gullible as all, but if he figures it out he's not gonna let you off without saying anything. [ Unlike Sasara. So: ] Think of something. [ He won't say it out loud... Lie. He'll still trust Rei with that much. ]

[groundzeroes]

Oh? He doesn't have the connection you did. He won't find out. [Not until it no longer matters, anyway.] Unless you make it obvious.

[Rei is still smiling, but it's more of a challenging expression that anything. If Sasara is so bent on keeping Rosho out of the loop, then...]

Guess you'll have to stay chummy with me for a while longer, after all.

[He turns to exit, leaving Sasara to dwell on it alone.]

[whosaysdajare]

[ Sasara bristles, the truth of his response striking. Rei is much better at making threats. ]

Teh. [ It's a defiant and all the same faint scoff of an answer. Like crumpling up that letter from Chuuo-ku, but still going... He'll think about it all.

Dinner's set to go cold. ]
