[He was so easy to needle too. Daigo only needed a moment to get into that rage over his friend's demise, and there was little skill to do that. Ryuuga had a little stronger hold to his temper.]
Maybe she doesn't want to burden you with dirty wants and needs.
[He knew she didn't want to. He had been in her mind after all. He dragged out all the hidden thoughts and wants and she really had been mad at him for that.
Oh well. It was still funny watching them dance around the issue until it wasn't.]
[He must be getting some where, though he hasn't pushed Ryuuga to start hissing and sputtering. Either he was losing his touch, or just calling over this line wasn't enough to make him go nuts.]
My business or not, I always find it a little sad to see such dreams crushed for the greater good of a humanity that tries to slit its own throat every few years.
Pieces of humanity can be worth it, but on the whole, there is rot in the core.
[Oh please. Like he hasn't seen what people were willing to do to protect each other, and yet at the same time, they were so willing to throw everyone around them to the wolves. He would be so rolling his eyes about now, not that Ryuuga could see it.
Sorry, excuse him a moment, he needs to laugh here.]
Have you asked her if you were, or are you just going to bravely stand in the shadows like a good little GARO?
[There's no answer after that, mostly because Ryuuga has to force himself to shut the CereVice off before he accidentally breaks it. To be honest, he's not even sure why he even bothered answering at all in the first place. Some misguided attempt to explain himself? Who knows.]
[Welp that was expected. Jinga is so going to have to start harassing him more now that he knows that Ryuuga has yet to watch him possess his little partner Priest. BRB while he laughs about this and then gets back on the phones to charm and woe people with their silly requests.]

[Bad enough that Rian wasn't here to help and to provide some much-needed emotional stabilization, but for him to bring her up so casually like this-]

And besides, there's some things worth holding off on. I don't want to be a burden to her.
[And he's cutting himself off again because oh no that is not what he wanted to admit-]

[His voice is almost a growl at this point. Now the needling's really starting to get to him.]
That's none of your business. [Though that answer in and of itself should be enough to give Jinga an idea on where he stands at this point.]
voice;
[There it was, the signs of a wolfpuppy getting into a temper.]
True. Amazing that someone so brave in the face of death and madness cannot just ask a woman if they want to go on a date.
