[So fine, maybe this afternoon had gone pretty poorly. Running into a brainwashed Shima who trapped her in an illusion involving Hachiro was bad enough, but then running into Yukio and his new little familiar who was a copy of Hachiro's weakened form was just rubbing salt into an open wound. And on top of that, someone had to tell Rin about what happened to Shima. She'd count on Yukio to do that, but...

Well, she didn't think that was going to happen. So now she has to go track her student down, first checking on the cookhouse, then his trailer. And if she can't find him there, well then his ass better be somewhere obvious. She's not in the mood to play hide and seek this particular evening.]

[Ha. Like Yukio would ever tell him on his own. Maybe only once it was all completely over!

Still, he at least does what his teacher asks, and keeps his mouth shut long enough for her to finish what she has to say. ]

Which is so dumb! [ he says, once she's done] He's... he's incredible! He's always been so strong and so smart! Why does he think he's weak? [Rin whimpers a bit and presses the heels of his palms into his eyes] He's my brother, my twin, and all this was happening without me noticing... I'm the worst, Shura.

You're both idiots. [Shura replies automatically. They were both dumb. They were both sixteen. That was just part of being a kid. For all that Shura had made stupid choices at their age, she at least had made them under Shiro's watch. She couldn't provide them with the same care Shiro could have, and Hachiro's contract was a breeze compared to their burdens.

Shura pauses, shifts her weight to her other hip.] And neither of ya are bad, so quit thinkin' that.

[Her hand lifts, reaching up to stroke his hair, even if it means she has to get on her toes to reach him with his changed form.]
