Hey.

[And because this is the way she is:]

You're late.

[Sorry, Rin...]

[satanslash]

Yeah yeah, nag more.

[Maybe it was a good thing Yukio wasn't there, because Shiho certainly does a good impression of someone she's never met!]

Let's just get this over with. And if you do wind up shootin' me in the head, I'm never gonna let you forget it.

[good_ideas]

I would but would it make a difference? [Also she has met Yukio but he didn’t seem that naggy??]

Don’t move then. Stand there, back to the tree.

[satanslash]

[You don't know him like Rin does.]

Yeah, yeah...

[At least he can obey orders without too much complaining.]

[good_ideas]

Can’t you be a little more worried?

[She means this to tease him but it’s also a legitimate question, she thinks. He’s way too blasé about this.]

[satanslash]

[Rin just scowls for a long moment, recalling all the times Yukio has threatened him with a gun. And the one time he actually shot during the battle with Hachirotaro. Granted it was a nutrient bullet and not something that could have injured Rin even if Yukio had wanted to, but it was still being shot by his own brother.]

... nah.

[Very blase.]

C'mon, just do it already.

[good_ideas]

[Being shot, even if it’s multiple times, shouldn’t make it normal...

Granted though, Shiho has some inkling that his life hasn’t exactly been easy. Still.]

Fine, fine. Just hold still and I’ll shoot on the count of three, okay? And don’t move.

[satanslash]

[Apple on his head, completely nonplussed about having a gun aimed at him, he goes still and waits for the shot to happen.]

[good_ideas]

[True to her word, she counts to three and then shoots.

Instead of a bullet though what he gets is a thin series of wires shooting out of the gun and striking the apple dead in the centre. Sorry your hair is probably covered in apple pulp now, Rin.]

[satanslash]

... ew.

[Well, that went better than expected. He had no idea what had happened with that gun but whatever, it counts, right?

He waits a beat to make sure he wasn't going to get surprised by anything before reaching up and attempting to wipe the mess out of his hair.

Alas, poor apple, we knew ye well.]

[good_ideas]

[Would it surprise him to know that the gun also has flamethrower capabilities? She doesn’t use them though, trying not to laugh at the way he looks right now before reaching in her pocket for a scrap of clean fabric that she’s been using as a handkerchief.]

Here.

[satanslash]

[He's a walking flamethrower, it's not that impressive.

He takes the fabric from her, rubbing his face clean with it.]

Thanks. Glad we got that taken care of. Nyx'll be happy no one got shot in the head.

[good_ideas]

[But can he also shoot out sleeping darts from his mouth and electrocute people though? (And more importantly was he built by a nerd with good intentions?)]

I think everyone involved is happy no one got shot in the head.

[satanslash]

[No and no. He's just fine being a walking flamethrower, thanks.]

Probably.

[A shrug. It's not like it'd kill him. That's his feeling on it and he's sticking to it. Sorry everyone who deals with this dumbass kid.]

I think I'm gonna have to wash the rest of this out.

[good_ideas]

[But then he’ll just be able to do only that one thing???]

Definitely. [Killing him or not, she doesn’t want to shoot anyone in the head today.]

And yeah, you might have to. They should have had us shoot something cleaner.

[satanslash]

[Hey he's quite versatile with his flames!]

You know they like makin' us suffer, even in really stupid ways... ugck.

[He's going inside now! There's a bucket of water he can stick his head in.]

[good_ideas]

[But until he can knock them out.....]

Try heating up the water a little, it won’t be as bad. [That’s what she calls after him as he goes, and once he’s safely inside she’s going to turn away and head back too.]
