[Week 5, Saturday: Mutsu]

[purrtagonist]

[well, if it's answers Mutsu wants, then it's answer's he'll get!]

Lay your questions on me. I can take them.

Comments

[tosa]

( He's a busy spirit and has dates to keep! So he cuts right to the chase with Akira, )

Who gave ya the card?

( Starting with the easy(?) question first. )

[purrtagonist]

[. . . . . . . WELL THEN]

[he. pauses, because he. . . isn't sure how much he should say, here. but considering the trial? considering the things she had said?]

Undine.

[hethinks it's okay]

[tosa]

( Oh, no, that gets a laugh out of him! Loud and clearly impressed, )

That girl! Just full of surprises, gahaha! ( He's almost sad he won't get to talk to her more, now. ) She's a good one. Take care of her.

So, how'd she get it? And why'd she give it to you?

Can't help but feel I'm real outta the loop here.

[purrtagonist]

She takes care of me more than I take care of her.

[a lighthearted joke. but he presses a finger to his lips, and shakes his head, having the decency to look apologetic]

I can't give out all the details without spilling secrets that aren't mine to tell. But it was payment.

[payment. for something]

And she gave it to me because we both knew that if I wasn't protected this week, Shin would kill me.

[and because he was protected, Shin went for Ichigo and Makoto. that. . . is absolutely something he still blames himself for]

[tosa]

( He'll frown. )

What, ya think I'm gonna go blabbing? I'm real great at keeping secrets.

( That didn't sound very convincing. In fact, that's the absolute opposite of convincing. Don't trust this guy. )

But alright. ( Uncrossing his arms, he sighs, there are a lot of questions, ) Ya know the Erased are helping on the other side, right?

[purrtagonist]

Hm?

[he tilts his head, but kind of gives a slow nod]

With the telepathic messages Setz talked about, right?

[tosa]

I think the Conductor kinda implied it too... They wrote me back a letter earlier this week.

Those messages aren't much but they're something to work with. ( So, ) What can I do? Even if ya think I can't do it... try and I'll see what I can do.

Or... if ya got anything ya want me to say to anyone...

[purrtagonist]

It's. . . [here, he hesitates] It's hard to ask you to do something when I don't know what the other side is like.

[but!]

Even if you guys can only send us two word telepathic messages, we can write you letters. If I think of something, I'll ask you in one of those.

Deal?
