[she doesn't care about the cigarette - she's dead. he can smoke as he pleases, and she leans into his side.]

Unfortunately there's no simple guidebook I can study. I'll have to find a few kind souls in the clan to play teacher.

[if only so she's not an embarrassment.]

[no_kyouken]

Well, luckily ya can practice with me. I'll show ya th'Shuten playbook and they'll never take ya off guard.

[ Majima is a little more vicious even than Toraguma chooses to be, but sometimes that is the role he is being asked for. So that Toraguma's decrees look thoughtful in comparison to what could be. ]

[medicative]

You already do a thousand things. You don't have to add tutoring me in the life to your list.

[she says it out of fondness - it'd be safe, to practice with him, to reshape herself a little. wrap herself in a kimono to hide vulnerability. but he also has her tendencies to overwork, and she knows it well.]

[no_kyouken]

Or ya could just consider it spendin' time together.

[ He smiles at her lazily. What? He absolutely wants to hang out with her and her cute little kimono. He loves it. ]

[medicative]

Well, I can't exactly argue with that logic.

[a smile is better than the stress that had been creasing his forehead.]

But, promise me something. If things start looking like they'll go south sooner than expected, tell me, so I know what to do.

[no_kyouken]

He's got two months to pull it out. Toraguma will give him all of it, but if he's not ready by then: it's over.

[ That's already a very imminent deadline. ]

You're gonna know if Sakamoto is choking before I do.

[medicative]

I suppose I should go to him and play the part of a concerned subordinate who wants to aid him in his goals. It'll be practice in holding my tongue when I truly wish to say something untoward.

[you know, instead of cursing him for going into the meeting alone. it'd give her an firsthand look at how things were going as well. as much as she dearly wants it to be his problem, it's better for the Alliance if she pitches in to a degree and they find that they have a chance.]

[no_kyouken]

Nah.

[ He objects softly. ]

Ya should go to him as Doctor Dyer, an' ya should real pointedly chew his ass out for jeopardizin' your enterprises. Ya'll help him cuz ya do your part for th'Alliance but ya ain't playin' subordinate for him no more.

[ It's a very different vision, he knows. But that's ambition. ]

[medicative]

My enterprises. Like the clinic?

[the man did say he felt like he owed her. using that as leverage to come into whatever he's doing, for the Alliance's sake...]

[no_kyouken]

Lotta time an' effort goes into th'place, he'd really be steppin' on yer toes if his actions cost ya anythin'. Hold it against him.

[ That's what yakuza do, it's a game of obligations. ]

An' ya have a vested interest in those trade lines he's playin' with, who does he think he is, huh?

[ Her indignation has merits, it's just about fitting them in as pieces to the game board. ]

[medicative]

[she nods, considering his words, fitting them against the vision in her mind. there's a world of difference in approaching him panicked, worried for their future, and coming to him cool and collected and with certainty. it's obvious enough the wheels are turning in her head.]

...One can always point out as well that what I utilize helps a good number of people in this city.

[by design. she can't take too much arrogant pride in it - she bears the scars to remind her to stay humble - but her goal had always been to help all clans. people first, instead of their affiliation.]

[no_kyouken]

[ He holds her hands loosely in his. He never, ever wanted this lifestyle for anyone else, but if she wants to stare it right in the face... ]

Ya can do it, Em.

[ And she'll still be as beautiful to him as she ever was. ]
