You've reached Itsuki Koizumi; I will be sure to return messages as promptly as possible.

[ at least he has her instead of sex appeal zero.. ]

More than just crucial. [ She's taking the 'us' more in general, since she's more used to that than thinking of us as in.. well, you know, a couple-- she's still getting used to that part. ] It's a matter of life and death, isn't it?

[deputychief]

So it seems. I don't know that this would be our last stand, but -- on the other hand, the risk is there.

[He smiles faintly.] At least, I suppose, we can say it's not a time to miss anything that we want to do - though as long as it is safe inside the city walls, it doesn't quite seem real, does it?

[integrous]

.. Yeah. When we're just sitting here and talking, you wouldn't say they're in battle not even too far away from here.. [ She finally finishes fixing up the wound, at least. ]

There, you can turn back now. It's safe.

[ safe from.. what, Asahi.. (her fists, probably.) ]

[deputychief]

[Yeah, "safe" actually is probably a good word for that...

He does turn back, in any case.]

Indeed. It's important to decide then exactly what we're planning to do these next few days.

[integrous]

Do you want to stick together..?

[ It's mostly a question out of curiosity, but there's also part of a request in it. If there's anyone she would worry about the most in this place, it's him, after all. ]

[deputychief]

[He hesitates for a moment, then nods.]

It may not be the safest, but still, it might be best.

[integrous]

I don't think anything is fully safe right now. [ And she doesn't really care. At least, not as far as she's concerned - maybe when other people are concerned, but she's not worried for herself. ]

So.. at least when we're together, we can make sure we're both okay.

[deputychief]

[He glances over. He's still not sure about that. He feels like they might spur each other into more danger than otherwise. But there's no better choice here.]

Together it is, then, Asahi. I'm glad to hear it.
