I doubt it. They wouldn't be able to get away with it if they did something like that. If the motive's that bad that they want to kill over it, they'll want to get away with it too.
[Or at least until someone dies. Which is also weird to think about! Damn, why can't he just go back to feeling nothing all the time, that was nice...]
It's... it's kind of weird that you're determined to find my favorite food. That's kind of... nice? That you'd be willing to spend your whole life searching for something I'd like. I don't really know what to think about that.
...If I'm getting a second chance at life, in some new world, where I have no responsibilities, I want to live it up. There's so much I haven't experienced before, and I want to make sure that I do as much of that as I can.
And I want you to experience everything you can, too. You're really important to me, Ryuu. Even if something like a favorite food isn't a big deal, I want to figure it out anyway, together.
Yeah, but I'm not a normal friend. I've had a few people try to be kind to me like this in the past, but it's never been to this extent. I think most of them would have given up on me the moment I told them about the killing thing.
[He's sure everyone else here would have turned on him.]
...I don't really know what to make of it. But thanks, I guess.

[...Silver that is like impressively paranoid of you-]
no subject
[SHRUG.]
no subject
[...Except Ryuunosuke. But that makes sense, doesn't it? It's not affecting him the same way.]
no subject
[what wise words of wisdom]
But I doubt anything's going to hit anyone this hard. We're this far in, after all.
no subject
...As long as we're okay, I guess.
[They'll be fine. Everything will be fine.]
I mean, I'd like to think that no one would kill over this motive either, but I doubt that's gonna be the case.
no subject
[He's so damn laid-back about this, it would almost be impressive if he wasn't enjoying every minute of it!!]
no subject
Go to all kinds of different ice cream shops. I wanna try every flavor there is in every world.
[It's an attempt to lighten the mood on his side.]
no subject
[He is totally here for ice cream!! But mostly it's because Silver sounds pretty enthusiastic about it.]
no subject
[...Hey, there's something he can ask.]
What's your favorite food, Ryuu?
no subject
[Having a favorite would involve not being apathetic!!]
no subject
[Sure, they're definitely living on whatever they can afford, but that doesn't mean that Ryuu can't find something he likes, right?]
no subject
[He's kind of smiling though, the expression a bit awkward like he's not really sure what to do with himself.]
no subject
[...Buddy, are you okay...]
no subject
[Or at least until someone dies. Which is also weird to think about! Damn, why can't he just go back to feeling nothing all the time, that was nice...]
no subject
[Did he say something wrong...?]
no subject
[SORRY, SILVER...]
no subject
[Come on, buddy. Let him in.]

And I want you to experience everything you can, too. You're really important to me, Ryuu. Even if something like a favorite food isn't a big deal, I want to figure it out anyway, together.
no subject
[That's also really nice? He doesn't know what to do with it and it's obvious.]
You're really kind to me.
no subject
I'm not- maybe? It's nothing special, I just-
[Would you like to try again.]
You're my friend. You're supposed to be kind to your friends.
no subject
[He's sure everyone else here would have turned on him.]
...I don't really know what to make of it. But thanks, I guess.
no subject
...
No, he doesn't even want to think about that. Ryuu's important to him, even if he doesn't approve of his lifestyle. That's all there is to it.]
Anytime, Ryuu. I'm always gonna be there for you.
no subject
[When he smiles it's genuine and for the first time his eyes look a little less dead.]
We should probably head to bed though. I've gotta get my sleep for the investigation tomorrow!
[Silver is his first real friend and Ryuunosuke is glad to have met him, but he can save that sappy, stupid statement for some other time.]
no subject
Right. Let's go.
[He doesn't want to be out and about on a Thursday night anyway, so he and Weavile head straight for the door.]
