[Don't mind that guttural snarl when you walk around today.

No, really.

You should instead be minding the flaming anchor that's perhaps soaring a little too close for comfort. Yes, it's flying, don't question it-

After all, it's landing just a few feet away as a very, very perturbed looking pirate is landing on his feet (remarkably steady). The scowl he's wearing doesn't seem like anything you want to mess with.]

When I find the bastards in charge o' this place-

[A distinct growl before he whistles sharply, a parrot coming down to perch on his shoulder with an answering caw. He scoffs angrily before glaring at whoever might be nearby without even realizing he's doing it-

Yeah.

Motochika's back.]

Comments

[tsundyne]

[Well, you know. The best laid plans and all that.

Not that she reacts well to people messing up her plans, either, so she can totally sympathize. He hadn't killed her yet or shooed her away, though, so she's assuming her company is still welcome.

...Yes.]

Well, welcome back.

[...

"Not yet," huh. Having seen the note(s) he left, she has a better idea now of what he's waiting for. Or rather who (he wants to bring)--

She still isn't sure how to feel.]

[treasurehunts]

[... he'll just. Scoff.]

Thanks.

[And you'll have to give him a second to glare off vaguely into nowhere because he's in the middle of some inner turmoil here. Yeah, he really wants to cling onto this anger because he still hasn't satisfied the urge to injure something but-

Yukari's just there and it doesn't seem right to just let this reunion get spoiled by his own temper.

So he'll scoff before running a hand through his hair and impaling his anchor in the ground - he may have to break some concrete to do it but it seems to happen.

A heavy sigh.]

... Really. Thanks.

[shaking his head now, trying to clear it up though it's still pretty muddled]

What've I missed?

[tsundyne]

[Whoa.

Just flinching a bit when the anchor hits ground, taking a step back. But then that genuine "thank you" and it's hardly a bother--even with the crack it creates. She is staring at it as she tries to reply.]

...Wish I knew where to begin.

[...]

I guess you weren't here when Ryoji left.

[can they be pissed at him together now]

[treasurehunts]

[ . . . so the issue with 'Ryoji' is that Motochika hadn't spoken to him in an awfully long time. Worse than that, Motochika never even told Ryoji to call him 'Aniki'.

Which makes him awfully forgettable in the name department.]

. . . he the one who wore yellow a lot but complained 'bout everythin' and thought Minato needed fixin'?

[please say no, please say no]

[tsundyne]

[...She wishes she could.

But unfortunately, that pretty much described Ryoji well enough. She's not really sure about the whole "Minato needing fixing" thing, but if his speech on Valentine's Day was any indication...]

...Yeah.

[welp]

[treasurehunts]

.... dammit!

[IF SOMETHING NEARBY WAS KICKABLE, HE WOULD SO KICK IT-

but for now he'll just curse a bit.]

I needed to smack some sense into that kid! And then he up'n left before I could get to it!

[he'd always wanted to punch ryoji in the face]

[tsundyne]

I-I know!

[She huffs a bit, seeming just as disappointed and angry as him--and she folds her arms, remembering it all. It'd been his idea in the first place, to try to change things with Minato--

And she'd almost paid for it while he returned home.

Granted, she knows he isn't exactly going back to anything pleasant, but--she can't help but feel a bit bitter anyway.]

It was...it was really unfair. And Ken left, too. Around the time you did, actually.
