WHO: Renju, Kou.
WHAT: Talking, investigation, association.
WHERE: Cram school, lesson break.
WHEN: After Hikaru fled and during Reizo's disappearance.
WHY: I don't know.

Kouchisei had welcomed the break with relief, and had chosen to read, and was thinking that he should not have brought a textbook quite so large because he would have to take it home.

He shrugged with indifference as he took a leaning position on the desk, normally more exhausted than what these lessons left him as. He saw complications wherever he looked for ways out, and greater challenges whenever he tried to rationalise the situation to himself. He liked everything to be clear and completely calm.

Two recent situations had changed that, and he did not like the feelings it rose.

"It's not a problem, precisely." The frown shifted to a more thoughtful quirk of the lips as Renju's gaze drifted towards the ceiling. "What they wanted is... no longer a concern." Or shouldn't be. But there was still that sick feeling, that deep fear that she followed now rather than fled from.

"But I haven't had the time to think about what I might want, nor the desire, until recently." It was probably fairly clear what she meant simply from the context. Her Shadow had been oblique, but she and it were touching on some common themes.

	"That's understandable." Kouchisei spoke without much emotion, but it was clear from how he was gazing at Renju that he knew what she meant. "Our experiences weren't similiar, but I believe we're both strong enough to handle them." He wasn't looking directly into her eyes, but he seemed sincere. "Maybe you just need to get used to the idea of having this time." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Renju was curious about what Kou meant by his experiences, but decided not to pry. If it became relevant, she was sure she'd learn it at some point, and Kou was a private enough person that asking would be rude.

Though that was not to say that she didn't have some hunch.

"That may be so." She nodded slowly. "That is," she added with a huff, "if this doesn't all turn out to be moot."

"I don't think it is," he answered honestly. "We're fighting for ourselves. Others."

He was silent for a while after that; the implications of failure were distressing and worrysome.

However, he had considered it at length and seemingly forever. The initial worry had disappeared. Except he had gone on some, and though he liked peace and quiet, this particular silence was aggravating his sense of formality.

"Sorry. I never thought I'd ask these sorts of questions. It must be rude of me."

	"It's no trouble." And though it was the polite response, Renju actually found it to be surprisingly true. "It's allowed me a chance to think about a few things." And talk about them, which had helped far more than she'd expected. "Thank you, Oubai-san." And as she said that, the door opened to allow the teacher back in. Break, it seemed, was over.
