[betrayedblade]

[He's sitting--lounging--in a chair with the communicator pointed at him from a table or counter in front of him. He looks very contemplative. Like he's considering whether to make this post or not.

He leans forward abruptly, his arm outstretched towards the device, the hand out of sight as it hovers over the off switch, his eyes intensely staring at the camera.]

He's back. Steer clear.

[ srs bizbiz voice is go. ]

Who's back?

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

Seifer.

[najawantsgold.livejournal.com]

...that guy, huh.

[ She's only spoken to him once or twice, plus she's kept an eye on him. Not much but yeah, she remembers him. What she doesn't remember is him being dangerous enough to warrant a warning from someone. ]

Just how dangerrrous is he now?

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

He's irritable. Quick to snap.

He isn't going to go attacking things unprovoked.

[najawantsgold.livejournal.com]

Why does this sound so familiar...

Still, I ain't takin' any chances. I'm not letting him hurrrt any of my tenants if I can help it.

[inyourgarden.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't know if he should be touched or what. Always so conscientious when it comes to him Giovanni. He almost wants to ask you what you're running from.]

I'm not staying.

[He hangs up. He's not making a conversation out of this.]

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

Doubt he'll go looking for them. He has no reason to go to Latimir.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[You can have a reply when you next turn it on anyway: laughter.]

[najawantsgold.livejournal.com]

Latimir, no. One of the people living here, a possibility.

I'm not takin' chances. I'm not gonna lock the whole damn place up, but I wanna keep a close eye on him until I figure out what the hell his prrroblem is.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

Leave him alone, Naja.

[inyourgarden.livejournal.com]

[He won't be checking, but you can laugh at him anyways next time he posts Giovanni. It'll be a real encouragement for him to keep trying to hold his sanity together.]

[najawantsgold.livejournal.com]

Hey, look. I never said I was gonna trrrack him down and beat 'im up. I'm not some barbarrrian that cuts off someone's ear if I don't like their face. Leave that to the Immortals back home. Yeesh.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[Oh I'm sure the crazed laughter of an Assassin would make anyone want to hold onto their sanity.

He could say words--but they would do no good. They both knew the truth. There was no where for Seifer to go. Even if he left the city... it would just be to run away towards nothing. A cop-out. Another failure.

Always a pity now Seifer.]

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

Then don't worry about it. Watch your people if you must. But don't go starting a fight without a reason.

I said keep clear, not go out and hunt him down. He isn't dangerous in that sense.

[...]

There is nothing to see in you so why I will never understand.

[najawantsgold.livejournal.com]

Never said I was staring a fight. I just don't remember him being a thrrreat 'til now, so will ya quit makin' accusations for a damn minute?

...the hell're you talkin' about?

[inyourgarden.livejournal.com]

[He is very pathetic isn't he. But he's not running away; he's running back. Finding Accido, the scientists, the way back home: this is priority. Maybe it'll make a fool of him, but he can go no lower at this point.

He never does know when to give up.]

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

I never said he was a threat either, but you assumed! It was the first thing out of your mouth once you found out who it was. Hypocrite!

[najawantsgold.livejournal.com]

Why else would ya tell people to steer clear of someone?! If ya have to stay away from somethin', it's usually dangerous! Ya think I'm that stupid?!

And correct me if I'm wrrrong, but I don't think I'm the only one that's makin' any assumptions around here! At least I make mine for people's safety!

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

I warned people; that's enough. Whether the people are too stupid to heed that warning or not is left up to them. I don't need you exasperating the entire situation.

I don't need you getting in the way.

[najawantsgold.livejournal.com]

Never said I was going to! Sheesh; the hell is yer prrroblem?

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[Silence. Then finally:]

I don't like you.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[He can search all he wants--Giovanni would might even help, too--but it isn't likely to be fruitful. It really is a pity this had to happen; you were so much useful before.]

[najawantsgold.livejournal.com]

...

[ Yet more proof that Naja should probably drop her tough act one day and spill the truth. But she's a stubborn woman, right to the very end. This doesn't stop her from coming up with a reply though, be it quieter and calmer than she normally would. ]

Hmph...well, how about that. Can't say I like you too much either, buddy, but I've met worse'n you'll prrrobably ever be.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

I do not try.

[There is, somehow, a hint of how if he did actually try to be "worse" it would not be very pretty for any party involved. Something in his tone, perhaps, or maybe just the inflection. Whatever it is, is rings clear and true. Not quite a threat...just a promise.]

As long as we are in agreement know this: whatever you have going with Ezio, it. will. not. last.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

I will keep an eye on Seifer. You will keep an eye on those you deem worthy to protect. Nothing will happen.

Va. bene?
