[ shima is just. fifty kinds of UNSURE at everything after that debacle. he's still limping forward, but has managed to bandage himself during the trial.
when he sees shiro after they leave, he debates for a moment before walking up towards him. ]
I wouldn't be a good Old Man if I didn't worry about the younger generation. I know you're all capable under normal circumstances, but these aren't normal circumstances!
There's something wrong with the nova of some of the people here. That's why Cater was killed last week: something was wrong with her nova, and something horrible would have happened if she hadn't died.
That's what happened with Laine, isn't it? And that's why Izumo had a dream about him chasing her: it was an omen of what was to come. And you were warned about it, so you killed him to stop it.
[ somewhere else in the house, shima is just chilling with his magazines. those memory bubbles are around and being pesky but shima's keeping an eye on them.
I'm sure. And in return I can show you embarrassing memories about your brothers when they were in high school, so you have ammunition for teasing them later.

Ahh, that was a mess, wasn't it?
no subject
You can say 'shitshow', it's fine.
Though take it as a lesson to not be evasive like that if people are questioning you. I don't want you to get voted out like that too.
no subject
It really didn't do him any favors to do that.
no subject
So don't be a little shit when it counts, got it? If I weren't already grey, I'd go grey keeping an eye out for all of you kids.
no subject
[ gives him a smile and a laugh ]
But ya shouldn't worry too much about us.

no subject
Haah, yeah, even the stuff we have to do for cram school hasn't been this bad.
no subject
...though uh. When we get back, let's not tell Faust about any of this. He doesn't need any ideas.

no subject
Hey! Enjoying the present?
no subject
[ grins at him ]
no subject
[Yes, he's laughing at his own joke. And let's say that they know what the orbs do already, so Shiro can follow up with this.]
You know, you should let me see how my boys are doing in your time. You're several months ahead of me, yeah?
no subject
Haah, ya sure 'bout that?

no subject
Deal!
[ rip shima, he's going to reach out and pop one of those bubbles. the memory that plays out uh. well.
it does have one of his sons in it ]
no subject
The longer it goes on, the more Shiro's face drops into a dangerously neutral look.]
Shima.
Why are you trying to get my son to join the Illuminati?
[Let's focus on that instead of on Yukio offering to get Shura pregnant.]
