[Wow, that's a whole lot simpler than Fuyuhiko was expecting. Where's the dramatic, spooky speech? Who are you and what have you done with the real Gundam Tanaka?]

[But alright, his turn now. Give him a minute here, he's gotta think of how to word this.]

No matter where we are, no matter what the trouble is, I promise that I've got your back. And when we make it back home, that fact won't change. Nothing can break this bond or this promise.

[UGH. This is so cheesy what the hell. Gundam, you need to stop rubbing off on him you weirdo.]

[It's just a sign of how serious he is. If he'd gone with a speech, something more involved than that, he could have forgotten it. And that was something he didn't want to risk.

He doesn't think it's cheesy at all though. He's pretty impressed with it honestly. That's a good, solid promise, and something he could surely remember. Hell, Gundam was pretty sure he could even remember it himself. It's with a nod that he shows his approval of the line.

The demon doesn't let go of his hand just yet though, speaking a few more lines in Latin first. Need to safely close the circle...once that's done he's silent for a few beats.]

The pact is complete.

[Fuyuhiko is silent as Gundam finishes off the spell. He's unable to keep his mind from wandering a little as he does so, however. Does Gundam actually know what he's saying? Does he really understand Latin or has he just memorized it out of a book? The real questions here, clearly.]

Okay. So...now what?

[Why are you still holding his hands, dude, what the hell.]

[A good question. You could always ask if you're curious, Fuyuhiko. But that's not the question that comes out of the heir, and he lets go and drops his hand before he replies.]

We clean up, first. The circle must be removed, so that it cannot be used or modified by anyone else. [And of course they can't just leave all the candles and stuff. Well...the herbs are probably fine. He's not picking up a bunch of seeds.]

After that, we return home. Some partners will do something together afterward in celebration of their new pact, but it is not required.

[The seeds can stay, fuck picking those up. Birds can eat them just fine, right?]

[Once Gundam lets his hand go, Fuyuhiko examines the cut on his palm. Ugh.see he knew this was a bad idea with his stupid paws. It's just a furry, bloody mess. Gundam probably has bits of shiba inu fur clinging to his cut as well. Sorry about that...]

Alright. Well, lets clean our hands up first before worrying about everything else. [Because, you remembered to bring antiseptic and fresh bandages, right, Gundam? Since Fuyuhiko had no idea that bloodletting was even going to be involved.]

Though...do you want to go somewhere before we go back? Or maybe tomorrow? [Since it is...very late. By the time they finish cleaning up and walking all the way back to Bavan, what time will it even be?]

[Nodding in agreement, he slips a few claws into a pocket and pulls out a small bottle of antiseptic. And then he dips them into the pocket that holds his watch and pulls out an equally small roll of bandages. That...really only look like they'll be good enough for one hand.]

Here, let me see your hand.

[He'll clean it!]

As for doing something together...if we were to do something tonight, our options would be slightly limited. Dinner, perhaps...the only other thing I'm aware of being open so late are bars, but that of course is not an option.

[Is anything else open late?? He doesn't really do social shit so...]

[Normally, Kuzuryuu would insist he can do it himself, especially since it's not even his dominant hand that was cut, but... considering the fact that his hand is half paw, it's probably actually better to leave this to Gundam. That and it seems almost tacky to make a blood pact with someone and then tell them you don't want their help. So Fuyuhiko holds his paw out, palm up, to let Gundam patch that up.]

Yeah, definitely out of the question. But...closing this out over drinks isn't a bad idea, so long as they're age-appropriate. [Like, okay, we did your ritual, man, now let him put his yakuza stamp on this bond.] I dunno about a full on dinner though... [Hm. Let him think about this. Oh! Idea!]

...you ever been to a casino before?

[Gambling and toasting non-alcoholic drinks is a good celebration, right?]

[Finally, he gets to help Fuyuhiko. Even if it is in just a small manner. He's careful as he cleans the wound out, brushing it free of fur (and also washing the fur a little too) before wrapping the hand nice and tight. Yeah, there was only enough bandage for one of them.

And hey, if you want to perform your own ritual, Gundam isn't going to complain in the least. He'll just be that much more proud and serious about this friendship.]

A casino? [Does looking through them to find the heir during their first fog count?] I have never visited one properly, no.

[Look, it's not his fault all of his transformations so far are internal things that can't really be tended to. The fact that Gundam isn't hiding another roll of bandages inside his pockets doesn't seem to have registed yet, however. Because Fuyuhiko just smirks and continues speaking.]

Then let's make a quick stop by the castle to drop all this stuff off and get some spending money. Don't worry, I'll make sure you don't lose too much.

[Time to lose your casino virginity, Gundam. For real, because searching for him definitely doesn't count.]

[Maybe it will register when he picks up his bandages from the ground, unraveling them some and draping them over a shoulder. And then he starts working on his own hand.

Time to lose his casino virginity huh? Actually, this is something he'd never have thought of on his own, but it makes sense that it's a suggestion coming from a yakuza member. And that...makes him smile some? Genuinely smile.

To him, that's almost an exotic suggestion. So much different from going out to dinner or just going to a bar and drinking together. Both of which would be enjoyable too, of course, but...man he's kind of excited.

He chuckles.]

Despite the fact that this sounds like a terrible idea for my wallet [Because he has no idea how to play casino games, and the only betting he's familiar with is the kind that involves animals.] I believe this would be an excellent choice for celebration. Allow me to wrap up my hand and then we may start collecting everything.

[Fuyuhiko starts picking up the candles on the inner part of the circle.]

Hey, weren't you listening? I said I'll stop it before it gets to the point of being a terrible idea. Nothing to be scared of, unless you're just that shitty at it.

[Sure enough, it's when he looks back and finds Gundam re-wrapping his hand with his dirty ground bandages that the fact that Tanaka did not bring enough first aid for two actually registers.]

Tanaka...did you forget to bring clean bandages for yourself? You had those on the ground...

[Dude...no. Bad. We're changing your bandages out once we get back to the castle.]

Hmph, how fortunate am I, then, that you will be the one coming to my rescue in such a case.

[Like a knight in pinstripe armor or something equally cheesy. Questioning the bandages though just has him cackling.]

As if anything could mix with this poisonous blood of mine and live! This will hardly be an issue.

[There he is. A knight in pinstripe armor. You got it.]

That's...not the issue, dumbass. You don't put dirt in an open wound, that's just common sense. At least clean it out first...

[You didn't waste all the antiseptic on him, did you?]

Edited 2016-01-26 02:02 (UTC)

[Swoon.]

It will be possible to clean and freshly wrap this back at the castle.

[He wasted it all on you, yes.]

[Goddammit, Gundam. Fuyuhiko sighs and quickly gathers up the last of the candles.]

Then let's hurry back so we can do that. You've got the knife, still, right?

[Are they good to go? Got the candles, got the knife, leaving the plants where they are... Oh, right, they've gotta clear away the dirt doodles. He'll wait for Gundam to show the proper way of doing this though. Because lod knows, surely there is some kind of protocol to it.]

I do, yes.

[Which is being sheathed again, blood and all. And yes, the doodles. That is indeed a thing they still need to do. He grabs the stick he used to draw them first and then just...starts brushing it away with his foot. No special order it seems, just anywhere is fine. As long as all of it's gone.

Leave no trace!!]

[Well that was a little unexpected. Unfortunately, Fuyuhiko's feet are not quite as well designed for the task. Also he's not wearing shoes. His paws will get dirty! So he picks up a small, downed pine branch and uses it as a makeshift brush to wipe away the circle. By starting at the opposite side from Gundam, of course.]

Then that's everything, right?

[You know, once they're done cleaning.]

Yes. Once this is done, we will be able to return to our lair.

[That's right, lair. And what a resourceful pup you are, Fuyuhiko! Look at that.]

[He is the most resourceful. Also the most unimpressed.]

...don't call it that.

[It's a castle, Gundam. A castle. Not a lair. And definitely not an "our lair".]

That is what it is.

[It's a lair. It's our lair. Deal with it?]

[Never!!]

No, it's a castle.

[Okay, but, for real, if they've got everything, it's time to start traipsing back through the woods and around the lake till they get back home. Dammit, Gundam, why are your wings so useless? Flying would be so much faster...]

A lair refers to any dwelling in which one can find seclusion and concealment. With as far from Bavan as our castle is, it certainly meets such requirements. It's a lair.

[Is this going to be an argument that they're going to have on the way home? Most likely. Because he's not letting this rest, even as they start on their way home.]

[Apparently this is, indeed, an argument they're going to have on the way home. Because Fuyuhiko just rolls his eye. Fucking incredible.]

Lairs are for cheesy anime villains and neither of us are one of those. Besides, it's not that far out. Hell, it's not even hidden...

[Despite how Gundam may dress and talk...]

[If you would just let him call it what he wants, you wouldn't have to put up with this, because excuse you-]

Defining lairs by such stereotypes is insulting. They are functional for many types of beings. It was not uncommon for the abhorrent beings inhabiting the Netherworld to keep multiple lairs, their deepest and most well hidden ones containing the treasures they had won through battle, while others served as tactical bases from which to plan their next attack, placed near or within regions they hoped to claim.

[Don't dis lairs, Fuyuhiko.]

[Gundam, if he rolls his eye any harder, it's gonna get stuck in the back of his skull. And then he's going to be blind. And it'll be all your fault.]

That may be, but...it still sounds cheesy as hell when you say it like that.

[LIKE THERE IS REALLY JUST NO GETTING AROUND THAT FACT, SORRY GUNDAM.]

But obviously that fact's not gonna stop you, so call it whatever you want. I'm gonna stick to castle though.

[Because like hell is he calling it a lair.]
