[WEEK 3: Saturday, post-trial, wherever Perc is; Percy]

[nowyouseeit]

[Kaito might be Super Tired, because that was an intense trial, but. fuck exhaustion tbh?? he seeks Percy out soon after the whole debacle ends]

Yo.

I need to steal some of your time, if you don't mind.

["steal". . . at least he's honest about it]

Comments

[nowyouseeit]

[. . . ah]

You too, then.

[it seems their rivers of allies cross at some point]

[lohengrins]

[ a nod. ]

I'm the Doctor.

[ if kaito looks towards his nightstand, he'll see a bottle of pills manifest. ]

If you make me regret telling you that, I'll be sure to make you regret it even more.

[nowyouseeit]

[he blinks in surprise, clearly not having expected that, and then he just. . .]

[chuckles lightly and shakes his head]

If we're talking to the same people, then I imagine we're on the same page. I won't make you regret it-- I promise.

[but, that said]

. . . I would tell you what I am, but I. . . [he hesitates]

I'm no use to anyone dead, and I worry my role will make me a target.

The less people who know, the better.

[lohengrins]

Do you truly think I'd tell anyone. I'm the Doctor. My intention is to
protect you.

[ he harumphs, clearly a wee bit intoxicated. ]

I suppose I can understand that. You're currently their biggest threat, Kaito. That's what I think.

Still, there's something I need to know.

[ percival sighs. ]

What are we fighting?

[nowyouseeit]

-- me? Why. . . me? Because I talk a lot and try to solve things?

[he looks up again, brows furrowed]

And. . . I think the answer to that question is pretty simple, actually.

We're fighting the unknown. The worst enemy any of us could ask for.

[lohengrins]

Because you know things. I can tell, meaning they probably do as well.

[ well, that sucks. his lips press into a thin line. ]

Be careful. And if you need anything, knock on my door. We can use my pills as a last resort.

[nowyouseeit]

Everyone knows things by now. Including you.

[he says, thunking his head against the wall with a sigh]

. . . I'll be careful. And I'll keep you in mind if I'm injured again.
