Ah - right, I'd heard about that. [A little nod! Yes, yes. HYDRA ROLES.
There's another beat, though, and then:] You would have to ask Kagachi for his reasons.

...Right. I'll make sure to do that tomorrow.
[Provided none of them get voted out, at least, but she'll leave that unspoken. Glancing towards the bottle:]
Anyways... What did you bring back?

[Yeah that's a terrible possibility even though he is 100% more worried about HIGEKIRI RIGHT NOW... GODDAMN.
Either way, the first gets a nod and a smile. As for the question, he'll hold the bottle out for her to get a look!]
Just rice wine, haha - creature comforts or something, you know?

[Funny, he'll be hard to find shortly after trial! And with all the running around he does, it'll probably be a while before he eventually makes it back to the room - but make it back he does, with yet another bottle of rice wine in hand.]
--Care to join me?
[He has absolutely squashed his emotions down into a tiny ball and shoved them away; he doesn't seem any more distressed than usual.]

Any time.
[She does look concerned, though, as she sees him. It might not be rare for him to be rushing around, talking to people, but...]
Are you okay?

Can't say no to a trusted favorite, right?
[She holds a hand out with a small smile.]
Want to split it?
[She holds a hand out with a small smile.]
Want to split it?
Good plan.
[no it's not
Regardless, she's picking up the eggs as he sets them down and cracking them into the bowl with a little bit too much force. That's regardless of how many eggs he's setting on the counter, so. Can't wait for him to have put, like, six eggs out here!!]

[As he goes to get some cups:]
Mm, I am - how about you? That was a rough one. Doesn't feel like much of a victory even though we did everything right, more or less.

...I'm more worried about the people who were closer to him.
[She glances his way as she says that.]
[She glances his way as she says that.]
[Don't call him out like this!!
He's smiling, at least, as he carries the cups over... Grim as it is, he really is glad that Hizamaru's demon was caught.]
There's nothing we can do about possession, so I'm at least glad that Hizamaru will be freed, soon.

[There's another long pause. She glances at the cups before she looks back his way.]
Can you set those down for a second?
Can you set those down for a second?
Hm?
[She gets a curious look, but he will! He sets them on the counter, quirking an inquisitive brow.]
Is something the matter...?

Is something the matter...?
[She doesn't answer as she stands up from her spot on the bed. Instead... Now that his hands are free, she's crossing the distance between them so she can give him a hug.]
I'm sorry about your friend.
I'm sorry about your friend.
[Oh.
Oh, hm - it's... actually been quite some time since he was last hugged by anyone so tenderly. Between his revival and the time before he was dragged onto this ship, he'd done a lot of clinging and joking. Here, he's had his share of embraces, too. But something comforting like this - it reminds him of his sister, who used to pat his head and hold his hand and tell him everything would be okay, back when she was still taller than him.
After a quiet second, he pushes past his initial startled reaction to reach up and pat her back - then returning the hug.]
...Seems like I can't really escape those words in the end, hah.

Exactly, exactly! It always tastes better when you share, anyway.
[He's already handing the bottle her way!]
The first sip honors can be yours.

[YEAH IT SURE WAS ALMOST SIX five get set out on the counter one by one and the sixth one slips out from between his little pinching demon fingers and splats unceremoniously onto the floor.]
—Oh. That egg was a bit slippery, haha.
[NO IT WASN'T. But he'll just reach down with his bare hands to scoop the egg guts and shell bits up and go carry it over to the trash can like a fool.]

[Something about the hesitation or the words he says next, or maybe both coupled together, means she doesn’t let go right away. Her chin tucks into his shoulder, and at the same time:]
You will soon.
[That may not be a fair thing to promise, but it’s what she gives him.]
You will soon.
[That may not be a fair thing to promise, but it’s what she gives him.]
[There's a soft little huff of laughter. Maybe it doesn't show in his face or voice so readily, but there's something in the tense slope of his shoulders, the rigidity of his spine, that speaks to how unhappy and run down he really is about all of this.
Then again, aren't they all? He has no place being openly upset.]
Let's hope so! But some words you really can't escape from at all, haha. "Thank you" and "I'm sorry", for one.
[He reaches up with one hand, gently smoothing down her hair in a gesture he hopes is reassuring - maybe a little soothing.]
--Well. It'll be nice to get a break sooner rather than later, though.

[In their haste to leave for the execution, he may not have seen it yet; still, whenever he returns to the room, he'll see Beck standing next to an electric scooter with a light frown on her face, looking around the rest of the area.]
There's no good place to put this...
There's no good place to put this...
[YEAH HE SURE DIDN'T but now he's just wandering back in and pausing at the door like what in the fck--]
...Your prize, I'm guessing? [M...MOSEYING CLOSER TO GET A BETTER LOOK.] What in the world is this supposed to be?
...Your prize, I'm guessing? [M...MOSEYING CLOSER TO GET A BETTER LOOK.] What in the world is this supposed to be?
[She raises a hand in greeting as he comes in, stepping back to give him a better look.]
Oh - it's an electric scooter. It's a vehicle, so you stand on it and push a button to make it move forward.

[His entire demeanor goes from "vaguely interested" to "OVER THE MOON DELIGHTED" in like .5 seconds oh my god.]
It moves? On its own?! Ah - oh! Do you stand on this flat part, then? How fast does it go? Oh, I see the wheels--
[HOW DID HE MISS THEM.]

Faster than most people can run. And - yeah, that's where you stand.
[Actually...]
You want a demonstration?
[Actually...]

Generous.
[She takes him up on that, though, taking a drink before she passes it his way.]
...It's not what I expected, but I like it.

Yes—!! Show me! I want to see how it works! Where's the button?! How does it work—?
