FORMAT: quickpara idk whatever

Having taken a couple of days off to deal with Saitou's death, Alastair worked a little longer to start making up hours, but he still came home around dinner-time. It was getting harder to avoid Kiryu, unless they were both at work, but he really needed to talk to Saitou - if for no other reason than to explain what had happened, to clear the air. And maybe, just maybe, find some way of making his life suck a little less. He was really starting to like the stoic swordsman as a friend, and wanted to help, but he couldn't help but feel a little responsible for everything.

He changed and then poked his head out of his room, looking furtively around. Was Saitou home from the precinct yet?

Alastair heaved a long, tired sigh. "Thanks," he whispered, so quietly that anyone but Saitou might not have even caught it. But the need to look in on Bakura was real, even if it meant he couldn't track down Kiryu that night.
