Even if I'd only had the one razor, this still would've happened. I still would've shaved with it. I still would've had a star on my arm. I still would have fit the clothes.
Yeah, well, Dokja had his weird bullshit over losing the razor and his whatever about the stars, but they eventually looked away from him. And Rin's the only one who fit the shoes, when it turned out the jacket was probably faked, and he said... he said there's 'another him'.
[ He's not one to condemn teens, but that statement alone made him suddenly believe he really could have done it because... you know! Yikes pronounced like Nikes. ]
'Sides, both of them have a whole group of people who'd take their backs, they stick together all the time and everything.
[ Bucky nods and ruminates on that for a bit. Especially the "other him" bit. But in the end... ]
Maybe, but it's not exactly new. If there's anyone the universe has to jerk around like this, at least it's me. I've already done this whole song and dance more times than I can count. Better me in here than some kid.
...just wish it didn't have to come at the cost of my hostage.
Maybe. Maybe they're fine. Maybe we can fix this. But that's not something I wanted to leave up to a 'maybe.' It's not something I can risk.
[ it's strange. they've barely interacted, really, when you think about it, and never in any great level of depth. always just...stupid conversations and dumb pranks or gags. Bucky wouldn't have called them close. But this seems to be hitting Aikawa pretty hard, and it's making him feel bad. ]
...look, if it helps, I'll send you a message every week when I'm there. You'll know I'll be fine.
[ It's because Aikawa is weirdly the most emotionally healthy character I have despite all of his other issues and it is weird. Anyway he's MAD that Bucky is getting scapegoated on flimsy evidence, and the fact that it might not just be Bucky, but another unrelated person who has done no wrong, makes it even worse for him. ]
I meant it in the way that even if you really do get the chop tomorrow, maybe nothing's happened to your hostage yet.
...We'll get them out.
[ Even if Bucky can't, but he isn't gonna say that. He will believe in the existence of a DaycareTM here too. ]
'Course. Not gonna leave people behind because it's 'not my business' or whatever. You mind asking who it is so I know who to look out for, just in case?
Bullshit. [ As he slides a whiskey through the bars idk I forgot what jail looks like in Ahnkeen if I'm wrong I'm wrong. ] You're way too athletic for 98.
[ awww, thanks bud! Bucky takes it. I'm not actually sure there are bars here, it's just the Ahnkeen church. Maybe there's bars here. Maybe he's just trapped by an invisible wall. shrugs. ]

You can take your shaving kit back if you want, by the way. Not sure if you even shave, but. [ shrugs a shoulder. ]

...I'm sorry, though. Maybe if you didn't have two razors, people wouldn't have gotten on your ass so hard.

I get it. I'm easy to suspect.

[ Fair. But he can't keep saying that, so he just sulks. ]
...We've never seen the others. Sieghart, Clementine's. Flayn's, Alphinaud's.
We don't know they've done anything to them.

But I sure as hell didn't sign up for it, I'll say that much.

To clarify, I'm still worried. In the 'what the fuck' way.
