[ it's fine

but he'll let out a delighted sound when he turns the camera on, shifting so he can sit a little closer to mikazuki. ]

Imagine if we had something like this when we were younger.

[unsaid]

[mikazuki shifts similarly, sitting next to tsurumaru and leaning in a bit closer]

Would you have documented your every prank?

[preowned]

Hm, maybe not all... some are a little too spontaneous for that kind of thing.

[ it takes a moment as he tries to get them both in the shot. ]

It takes away from the moment if I spend time fiddling with this thing, doesn't it?

[unsaid]

Ha ha ha, that is true. You may not be able to time it perfectly to capture someone falling into a pit.

[among other pranks

but mikazuki will nonetheless wait patiently, but look amused indeed when he sees his own reflection captured in the small device]

My, this generation will do all they can to fit the world into the palm of their hand.

[preowned]

[ it's true there has been many pits in their lives ]

Apparently, there is a way to create things like animal ears onto the photo... Sada-chan had shown me how to do it.

[ he squints at the screen, like he wants to figure it out, but he never will because this is the normal photo app and not something like snapchat.

he gives up quickly enough. ]

One the count of three! One, tw--

[ he takes the pictures ]

[unsaid]

Animal photos...

[tsuru is gonna get ever closer to figuring out what a furry is. but mikazuki was honestly watching the camera rather placidly as soon as the countdown started - but the early trigger probably manages to catch the way that his expression blooms into a gently amused and surprised smile]

Ha ha ha. I wonder if you captured anything worthwhile.

[preowned]

Possibly. What do they say about photographs? They can capture your souls.

[ he peers down at the selfie, his lips twitching into a smile before he sets the phone down next to them. ]

I wonder if it's the same for phones?

[unsaid]

Oh? Has my soul been captured?

[he seems unbothered, taking another sippy of his sake, laughing]

I suppose I am in no great need of it. Do take care of it.

[preowned]

[ he just

barks out a laugh ]

No need for your soul?

[unsaid]

Will you not look after it?

[mikazuki would 100% outsource care for his own damn soul if it'll give him one less thing to worry about

this is mostly not joking]

[preowned]

I'll treat it like a national treasure.

[ gently, but as gently as tsurumaru is able to handle anything, which greatly varies depending on his mood. ]

Maybe I was a demon in another life...

[ SOUL SUCKING DEMON......... ]

[unsaid]

If it is in your hands, I find little reason to worry.

[as if mikazuki worries about most things on an average day]

Though I wonder if your demonhood need only belong to another lifetime.

[some people would call tsuru a demon in this one, he's pretty sure]

[preowned]

Hm?

I have no idea what you mean.

[ liar. ]

[unsaid]

Ha ha ha. Of course not.

[hE'LL JUST LET TSURU GET AWAY WITH IT, it's fine]

It is alright. The presence of demons makes angels more interesting... or so I've heard.

[preowned]

Are you the angel?

[ it's said in such an extremely skeptical tone

but then he nods his head. ]

... the Biblical kind...

[unsaid]

Ha ha ha. The Biblical kind may be more fitting - but I would never be so bold as to claim place among the heavens.

[like of everyone they know

ishi is probably the most angelic

maybe kogi who has insane patience for both shitty demons present]

[preowned]

No?

[ why is he pretending to be surprised when he sounded skeptical like two seconds ago ]

You probably wouldn't last, no.

[unsaid]

It seems like a very taxing thing - to be virtuous.

[shitty old man]

[preowned]

It does, doesn't it... you'd get so exhausted.

[ stop agreeing so immediately ]

I suppose you can also be a demon.

[unsaid]

Ah... What type of demon shall I be?

One that haunts flower viewings and tea spots...

[preowned]

Wouldn't that make you more like a spirit?

[ how are they defining these things ]

[unsaid]

Are demons more mischievous...?

Perhaps I will drink unsuspecting visitors' tea.

[preowned]

Ha ha ha.

Pour hot sauce into it.

[unsaid]

[ . . . ]

But then I will not want to drink it?

[preowned]

You still can.

[ it's said so earnestly, even though he knows fully well that mikazuki would not abandon his comfort in this specific way. ]

It'll help wake you up.
