you've got a way with words but be more precise

WHO: ZeXals.
WHERE: MAC.
WHEN: The 20somethingth.
WARNINGS: shrug
SUMMARY: Everyone needs to Talk to Kaito.
FORMAT: Tagger's choice.



[ While he had been the one to suggest talking to Kaito, Shark hadn't really expected that he'd be present for said talk. But, of course, here he was outside Kaito's door. He wouldnt've ever chosen to be here at any time normally - unless pounding the floorboards to make him stop that infernal whistling stopped working (not that it worked anyway, but you get the idea). It's not like he didn't have things he wanted to ask Kaito, no. He just didn't want to admit to having them, and didn't particularly want to come face-to-face with the guy who had literally torn his soul from his body.

But Yuma and Astral... Shark eyed them from his place leaning on the doorframe. The lie, or miscommunication, or whatever it was that Kaito had told one of them had been bothering them for a while. The discussion Shark and Yuma had had at the arcade had made that much obvious, and while he'd managed to give Yuma some kind of temporary reassurance, it was still vital to learn the truth. It mattered to all of them.

But he still didn't want to be here. ]

I don't even know if he's home.

[Yuma, for his part, at least had tried to be the first to respond, but for all his (improvised) gusto in getting here, he hadn't exactly planned how he was going to ask the questions that needed to be asked, or what he was going to do depending on the answers. Each time he opened his mouth, it was one of his companion's voices chiming in. By the third time, he had his mouth open, partway to saying something, for a good five seconds before it dawned on him that he wasn't going to be interrupted this time.

Maybe.

It was several seconds after that that Yuma managed to speak.]

There's somethin' that's been bugging me. [Good start. Now, could he actually get to the point?] Something you said to Astral doesn't match what you told me.

Something I said to Astral... [Weird, he'd only spoken to Astral once when he got here, and there wasn't anything of consequence then was there? Well, technically there was that one other time, but that wouldn't count, so...]

You're going to need to be more precise.

[Hanging back and watching the situation unfold seemed like a good idea at first, but Shark hadn't expected the conversation to take place in the hallway. From Kaito's reaction, it was clear that this wouldn't be a simple matter to resolve.

Shark clicked his tongue once to make himself known, straightening from his crossarmed slouch before speaking.]

Here's a bright idea. How about we do this inside?
