[Akira's response is blase]

Directly. Person-to-person. Face-to-face.

He's not a coward; he wouldn't manipulate someone to do it for him.

[he'd want to do it HIMSELF]

[shortforever]

Damn. And I thought me and Dazai had it bad.

[At least Dazai wanted him to stay alive.]

How do you two get along after something like that?

[survivaltricks]

We don't.

[l o l people haven't been privy to what goes on behind closed doors]

Or. . . well. We don't when we start talking about personal things. We've agreed to a truce to share information about the mansion and the murders, but whenever I try to talk to him about what happened--

[he trails off]

Well. He pointed a gun at me the first day after the gun room in the basement opened.

[shortforever]

So what you're saying is to not let you two be alone together. Gotcha.

[Sorry Akira, you're his friend and he is very protective of his friends.]

[survivaltricks]

[A HUFFED LAUGH. . . and he shakes his head]

No. We've been alone together plenty of times since coming here. He'll puff up threateningly whenever he feels cornered, but. . .

He won't hurt me.

[and that's something Akira believes wholeheartedly]

[shortforever]

I know you say that, but as your friend I still worry about you.

[Just like Akira has every right to worry about Dazai and Chuuya.]

[survivaltricks]

[clasps a hand on Chuuya's shoulder, his smile soft]

Thanks.

. . . but I promise I have it handled. Okay?

[. . .]

In fact, the best thing Akechi could use right about now is a friend like you.

[shortforever]

He needs a member of the mafia for a friend?

[D O U B T]

[survivaltricks]

Yeah. Obviously.

[that is not what Akira meant but he is going to go along with it anyway]

[shortforever]

At least do half of the work of corrupting him, Akira. You're a thief, I've been in gangs my whole life. Between us we can make him less focused on the law, maybe.

[survivaltricks]

[JUST. . . LAUGHS]

I think it'll be a tough job, but there's no one out there more suited for it than us.
