[rassera]

[He scoffs, snapping his fingers once again to bring Capsule back to his side.]

He's gone. Bike and everything.

[melavasomniar]

[Those silly nicknames and the comment that follows gets a unattractive snortlaugh.]

Alright. For now, I'll settle for you showing me where to get a drink around here.

action;

[rideme]

Well.

That was shitty of you both.

[rideme]

Now that, I can do. They've got these things called margaritas, and boss?

We need to take these back to Skyhold with us. They're fucking fantastic.

action;

[rassera]

Yeah, I got that.

[His head tilts up, giving Bull the stink eye before huffing.]

Asshole was just looking for a fight.

action;

[rideme]

And... you gave him one?

action;

[rassera]

I was walking away from it! You think I'm gonna pick a fight with him when he wants my dog dead?!

[It comes out a little rapid, and his grip on Capsule tightens.]

He poked me til I said the wrong thing.

action;

[rideme]

[Aha. There we go. There's a little more information. Killing a dog is... wow. That's just low.]

Probably best to give him a bit to cool his ass off, then.

... Any idea where he'd run to?

action;

[rassera]

[He didn't want to think that, honestly. But when he'd put his arms around Capsule when arguing with Tetsuo, he felt a pull. An invisible one.

Warning flags sent up like no one's business.]

He -won't- cool off, Bull. That's his problem.

action;

[rideme]

... Makes it more important we track him down, then. Soonest.

Happen to see which way he went?

action;

[rassera]

He...jumped out the window. I didn't see where he went after.

action;

[rideme]

Shit, all right.

... Know who he talks to regularly? Aside from us.

action;

[rassera]

[He's silent, thinking it over as he lets Capsule go, the puppy going back to trying to pounce on fireflies that dare cross his path.]

Kazu. Some guy named Kazu.


Other than that...he keeps that to himself.

action;

[rideme]

Kazu. Hmn. Haven't heard of him yet.

Know what he looks like?

action;

[rassera]

He's...got a hat.

[Kaneda honestly couldn't think of anything that stood out, honestly, which doesn't make this any easier.]

action;

[rideme]

What... kind of hat are we talking?

[Because if it's anything like Cole's weird hat, they may be onto something.]

[melavasomniar]

Well, I've got to try them before I can truly give the okay for it, but I think we can do that.

[rideme]

Okay. So, when you've got a minute, we'll go try them out.

action;

[rassera]

Like a cap. A beanie.

[A lot of people had beanies, but that's all Kaneda can recall.]

He should be in the directory, yeah?

action;

[rideme]

Hn. All right. Probably.

It's worth a shot to look up. If nothing else, maybe he knows where your buddy was headed.

action;

[rassera]

If he pops up on the network I'll ask.




[Capsule wanders over to Bull, pawing at his pants.]


Tetsuo can't hide forever.

action;

[rideme]

Good. What's his bike thing look like? I'll keep an eye out for it.

[He glances down, then just. Scoops up the pup in one hand. Balancing it like Capsule's a fuzzy airplane.]

He won't.

action;

[rassera]

[If the dog was bothered by it, he certainly didn't show it as he stretches his neck forward, trying his damn hardest to lick Bull's face. Just...a little closer.

It's not close at all.]

...

[Kaneda snaps his fingers almost automatically, and on the other side of the sidewalk a motorcycle shows up, ready and waiting.]

Something like that. I mean, mine's better...but it's got two wheels.

action;

[rideme]

[Bull snorts, and waggles his other hand in front of the pup's face. Here, lick these.]

... Huh. Very nice.

Where do I get one?

action;

[rassera]

[Now that...that gets a smile out of him, as he leans back on his palms, hands touching the sidewalk and smirking.]

Well, I could make one, but...-you-?

Sure you wouldn't like...crush it?
