his head tilts back, and for a second, i'm sorry minato, shiba inu wins his attention, whistling to get his attention for a lil' pet.)
Mhm? Ah. Yeah. Fine. Bar fight, wanted to let people get a few punches in for fairness purposes. You good, Minato?
no subject
Shiba Inu does wander over to Manjiro, cloth still clutched in his mouth. Only when he's close enough for Manjiro to give him pets does he lower it to the floor. His mouth is freed, allowing him to offer a friendly bark.
Minato, on the other hand, continues to stare with mild concern. ]
...yeah.
[ Even if it was "for fairness purposes," isn't this a little severe? And in any event, yeah, Minato is... definitely good compared to the state Manjiro's in. ]
I can heal you, if you want.
[ He's not going to force it on Manjiro, even if he thinks it's a good idea. ]
no subject
who is now getting a lot of love, and unfortunately, a little wet, with manjiro's hands all over him, but hey... it's a shiba. his heart is so full for the moment.)
I already told you to not just agree with what you don't.
(because, once again, look, he is making 01 expression. come on, minato.
... and it's not a bad idea. he knows what it feels like, and it's effective-- it's easier to evade the questioning if the evidence is gone.)
Yeah, do whatever, I don't care.
cw gun/suicidal imagery evoker times
He shakes his head this time instead of just agreeing. ]
I'm okay. I remembered everything.
[ Because guess who found eight memory items from the event!
Either way, he'll rise to his feet after he's finished inspecting the rock. Minato reaches for his Evoker and takes it in hand. He presses the barrel against his temple, and because he's not actually sure whether Manjiro's ever seen an Evoker used before, he adds: ]
...don't worry, it doesn't hurt.
[ He pulls the trigger, manifesting a white unicorn. It trots over to the edge of the hot springs, lowering its neck until its horn hovers over Manjiro's head. A white light envelopes its body, Dia spell quickly mending the cuts and soothing the other teen's bruises. And then the unicorn disappears, fading into the ether. ]
no subject
he saw the evoker before, at a distance, but never up close - but truth be told, he's weirdly numb to personas, basically accepting of the fact he doesn't understand what they are like, what they do, how their stories connect. he's just fine, not understanding. the unicorn is weird, though. he forgot for a second.
the feeling of being patched and put together is not unfamiliar, but always uncanny. what hurts suddenly doesn't, and he suddenly remembers:)
Thanks. You're that wildcard thing, right? I forgot, but the unicorn is a new one to me.
no subject
Yeah.
[ The response is accompanied by a nod. ]
I think we all have different Personas, mostly.
[ After all, Barong is one that he shares with Yu. ]
I have other Personas who can heal, but Unicorn is the best for most of it.
[ There's Pixie, but she'd probably make some unnecessary comments about being summoned on the boy's side of the hot springs. As for Horus and Orpheus, their healing spells were probably overkill for someone with Manjiro's current injuries. It's more efficient to use a Persona with smaller heals, given how the amount of healing scaled with the amount of energy required to use the spell. ]
no subject
(it's too complicated, too many things, and besides, it's not something he'll ever experience, it seems like everyone's persona journeys have finished, so why wonder, why ask if there's no need?)
You wanna join? I'll share.
no subject
He shakes his head. Not this time. There's work to be done. ]
Not today. I'm on cleaning duty.
[ Not to mention, the last time he took a dip with Manjiro the guy metaphorically cracked his brain in half. ]
no subject
(good. he's actually proud, it shows on his voice.)
no subject
No. ...I should finish this.
[ He gestures towards one of the rocks near the hot springs, the ones he'd been inspecting earlier. ]
no subject
(it's called stalling. he'll relax here until he sorts his mind up.)
no subject
[ And he'll do that, working methodically and checking each rock for any potential dangers. Nothing to see here though. Astralin really does keep the hot springs in tip top shape.
Koromaru's gone back to wiping down the floor too. Once he's finished, he lifts the cloth into his mouth to put it aside and out of the way. He then returns to Minato's side, tail wagging expectantly.
Minato's taken a seat near the edge of the hot springs, legs crossed as he folds his hands in his lap. ]
no subject
swimming in the dilemma his current activities left him in - to only fully comprehend what he has done so much later, so much further, and if he really stops to think about it, he doesn't feel anything. didn't then, doesn't know. it was effortless, the punches and bruises he sported when he arrived his own punishment for what he will do.)
How long have you been gone?
(he doesn't even open his eyes. tired.)
no subject
[ He wasn't keep count. Minato does lean over a bit, a little closer to Manjiro. Is the heat getting to him? The other teen doesn't seem entirely present. ]
Is it getting too warm for you? ...you seem a little out of it, that's all.
no subject
(a conversation they have had before, probably. he's definitely not at all there.)
no subject
No, I'm still living at the inn. Kotone lives at the farmhouse, but... maybe not anymore.
[ She's off living with Scott now, possibly. He's not entirely sure. Minato's not her keeper. ]
no subject
(well, fuck. okay. it's better to get leaving the water, at least. he's been there for too long.)
no subject
I've never lived at the farmhouse.
[ Minato reaches out, offering a hand to Manjiro. ...yeah, maybe it's time to leave the water if he's already forgotten about who does or doesn't live at the farmhouse.
On the other hand, Minato's well aware that there are some whose memories were muddled after the past month. Maybe Manjiro's one of them. ]
no subject
he's tired, though. stalling. no way he is going home at this very moment.)
We did meet here, didn't we? (checking, actually) That's probably why I thought.
no subject
Yeah. We met here during the power outage.
[ A beat. ]
We had hot chocolate.
[ Maybe that refreshes his memory? ]
no subject
(IT WAS A BLEEP... or was it.
either way, mikey's hand sticks out to call the doggo.)
This is new, though. Who's your friend?
no subject
Koromaru recognizes Manjiro's gesture and wanders over. He bends his head down to lick the other teen's palm. ]
Koromaru. He was one of my teammates from home.
no subject
(record scratching to the moon and back.)
no subject
...but yeah, Minato might as well have said the dog had a Persona.
"Arf!" goes Koromaru, confirming Manjiro's logical reasoning is correct. ]
thats it thats the tag
