Ya gotta be thinking the same about your younger brothers back home. [ Yep, Sasara can guess that that's what's on Ichiro's mind, while he's relieved thinking about Rosho that way too. But speaking of— ]

Speaking of! About that time ya came up to Osaka, sorry about badmouthing them a little... [ His smile is a little more sheepish now, but he really thought it was worth the performance. ] The three of ya are gonna show for it, I'm sure. But no hard feelings, ya see, I had to get a rise outta ya!

[ And speaking of...! ] Ahem...! Family matters, yeah? [ As in, family is what's the matter. Sasara pauses on that cliff hanger of an answer. ]

[Hm, the little voice in Ichiro's head is telling him to leave now.]

Yeah... And?

[The old man better be dying or something. Otherwise what the fuck.]

[whosaysdajare]

Ahem...

[ He definitely expects Ichiro to bolt! Which is just why Sasara rushes back to the doorway between living room and entryway. He wedges himself in the frame in some X-stance, a barricade that'd snap like a twig. But with a conviction and an eye for prying! ]

Your old man keeps making excuses about not seeing ya and you're about the same, I'm thinking!

[Ichiro may not be as prone to violence as he was back when Sasara knew him originally, but it's good that he knows his junior is still just a few pushed buttons away from knocking him out in his own home.

It's the fact that Sasara knows he's digging where he's not supposed to that annoys Ichiro the most.]

It'd be real fuckin' weird if we started being all chummy just because we're in another world. Don't see how it's any of your business anyway.

it's an idiot sandwich 🥪

[ Like playing a particularly volatile version of "Simon Ichiro Says", it's Sasara's business because he can't just have Rei's mute rejections stop him from meddling! Nothing that he's got in his notes is something Ichiro's gonna like hearing either... ]

Well, ya see, Rei's my teammate now— [ ...that's for sure. ] —and you and I used to be on the same squad. After squeezing those particulars outta him, I s'ppose I feel a little responsible.

[ Nah, that's a bit strong. Even if Sasara did get a little relentless in the moment, with magic and all. ] O-or more like, I'm sandwiched between the two of ya!

[ichibukuro]

[He's really grasping at straws here. Ichiro continues to look wholly unimpressed.]

This isn't grade school, man. Your friends don't have to be friends with each other.
