. . . [oh my god??]

When someone backstabs me?

[shortforever]

It's gonna happen at some point. Someone already used their power on you. And I know you like running headfirst at problems but I'd like to see you alive on the other side of that.

[He's not telling Akira to stop, just that he's ready to punch a ho if they try anything.]

[survivaltricks]

. . . I plan on being alive on the other side of it, don't worry.

And we don't know why someone used their power on me. They could've just been testing it out, or maybe they were irritated at me trying to be optimistic. That doesn't mean they want me dead.

[he doesn't want to be naturally paranoid, please spare him Chuuya]

[...]

[shortforever]

...okay, yeah, that's fair. We can't know their intentions, since they didn't speak up yet.

[Let Chuuya hold all of the paranoia.]

[wags his fork at Chuuya. it has some pancake stuck on the end]

So let's not worry about it for now.

Sit down and eat some pancakes with me.

[shortforever]

[He's already sitting!!1]

You have to try them first.

[Partially because he made them for Akira, and partially because he's pretty sure it won't taste right.]

[survivaltricks]

I already did.

They taste just fine.

[not the BEST but like. good pancakes!! because pancakes are just inherently good]

[shortforever]

...yeah? Really?

[He is. Instantly not suspicious or grumpy, he's taking Akira's praise as a truth.]

[survivaltricks]

Really.

[he takes another bite to prove it!]

There are too many for me to eat them all by myself, so help a guy out, here.

[shortforever]

...fine, okay. I'll go get another fork.

[He's still being weirdly aloof, but slightly less so now?]
