no one and nothing can break through

[Well! That sure did happen!

Bruno does not organize an afterparty. He's not a party organizer in general - that was Wu. But he knows he was completely useless, if not downright actively unhelpful, during that whole thing, and he already feels guilty enough. He has to be useful somehow. Otherwise, why's he even here? 

So, before everyone can leave the teleportation circle in the dining room and all go their own separate ways, Bruno mumbles something about making food and takes off for the kitchen. He'll be there for a couple of hours, whipping up some quick chicken sancocho, with Olive on rice duty. Azul can be in charge of actually grabbing people and bringing them in - god forbid Bruno do anything like that - but if anyone does happen to be there to take one, he'll make them up a bowl. Otherwise, he's just gonna leave it all warming on the stove. 

There's also some arroz con leche simmering for later, if anybody wants dessert! He'll put cinnamon in it, and then add some hot chocolate to the lineup as well. He's no Julieta, of course, but at least he's made something? It's not enough, but it's...something.]

We have to expect it. ...I should have anticipated this one. It was careless of me. [He can't keep the frustration from bleeding into his voice this time.]
ghostsguysgyuudon: Accusatory yelling. (unlike SOME people)

No, it isn't your fault! Even if everyone's saying he must have been plotting this or hated us all along, he said before that he wanted us to escape, like anyone else! Wouldn't anyone believe that?

I shouldn't have. A leader should never allow personal judgments to make them complacent. It's one of the most fundamental duties. [One hand is curling a little into a fist, but he makes an active effort to relax it and shakes his head again briskly.] ...It's not something you need to concern yourself with.
ghostsguysgyuudon: Troubled. (definitely feeling judged here)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-04-05 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Eh? ...I guess. But I don't want anything else to happen like this.

No. Neither do I. ...For the time being the best thing you can do is to be cautious. Don't go wandering around alone at strange hours.
ghostsguysgyuudon: Concerned look. (life makes no sense)

I'll try. Loki-san already told me to ask for help if I want to go looking at night. [She shifts guiltily.] But shouldn't you also be safe?

Good. More people would be best.

[For a second, the absurdity of her worrying about him almost lightens his mood.]

...I have nothing to be concerned about. And Baldr is keeping watch in any case. [Whether Nuadha likes it or not.]
ghostsguysgyuudon: Touching her face in confusion. (that post-event hangover)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-04-06 02:01 pm (UTC)(link)
That's good. I'm worried about everybody, even if they're strong.After today...

...You're a kind person. But with the exception of yourself and Bruno, most of those here can take care of themselves. Don't tire yourself with excessive worrying.
ghostsguysgyuudon: Silly shocked expression. (that one hurt)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-04-07 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[She winces. Harsh, but true.]

I'll try not to bother you all or drag you down...

That's not... [Augh. Now he has to put this through a tsundere-to-human translator himself, something he is not good at.] ...I'm telling you to take care of yourself. It's enough if the two of you can hide if any other situations occur. Leave the rest to us.
ghostsguysgyuudon: Hiding her eyes. (because i can't say)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-04-08 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mei deflates a little.] ...Right. I swear I won't do anything dangerous.
