[ he lets his hand stay there for an extra few seconds, before he goes to pull away. ]
Oh, yeah, I am definitely aware of that.
[ mikazuki will tell you immediately that he is sad about not having his tea but if you want to find out that he's sad about something more important you will have to fight him for that info. ]
[ . . . . hmmmm. mikazuki will just smile to himself even as he lets his gaze drift upward to the moon
if kogi doesn't - ]
We are friends nonetheless.
[ - even if it may feel odd, to have another who is so commonly at his side not be in tune with something about him. none matched him quite as well as tsurumaru all these years later, though on kogi's part, it was not for lack of trying]

tsurumaru blinks, not really sure what to make of that. so instead he just continues on with the topic. ]
Do you? I haven't noticed.
[ it's a little soft. ]
no subject
but then decides that he is not sure how to explain it, so he can leave it for another time]
I aim for subtlety in my needs.

no subject
a little bit like now, but he will just have a sip from his sake as tsuru reclaims his hand]
I would say that you bear witness to my whims more often than most.
no subject
[ a pause ]
Although not as often lately as I'd like.
[ tsuru may be here for the longest vacation he can manage but they do normally live apart. ]
no subject
It is alright. Perhaps my inclinations grew more dull over time as well.
[it's not entirely true - he's still just as much of an enabler in his old age, but people are less fun to enable if they're not tsurumaru]
It is good that we have more time now. Perhaps it will revitalize some of our fun.
no subject
[ tsuru dating people then running away
but it would be impossible to not see everyone as way too young now. hilarious. ]
no subject
that's funny]
Ha ha ha - what great trouble lays ahead.
[it's just going to be even worse bc now people will chase tsuru nonstop bc even though he's 80 on the inside he's still just as beautiful as ever]
no subject
[ like
tsuru has money but he doesn't have a giant ass house in the city so he can hide it ]
no subject
[jiji has never paid even 2% attention to any of the interest he gets]
Well, that too will surely come and go. I am already perfectly content with the company that I keep.
no subject
[ tsuru is fully aware that mikazuki has other companions
but he requires all of the attention at all times while he is here. ]
no subject
Am I meant to answer with someone besides you?

[otherwise it's a revolving door of visitors for mikazuki, or his family]

He'll still be old...
no subject
We should certainly say hi to him.
[DO NOT BULLY YOUR FELLOW GRANDPA]

[ kogi is gonna be 80 and will get a crop top ]
no subject
[they're really gonna do this to elderly kogi]
no subject
[ so stop bullying him you assholes ]
I guess that will be our reward for getting work done.
no subject
[ . . . ]
Though I wonder how it will feel if he does not notice a great difference about us.
no subject
[ there doesn't seem to be any real order for who notices it. at least, from what he can tell so far. ]
And if he doesn't?
no subject
if kogi doesn't - ]
We are friends nonetheless.
[ - even if it may feel odd, to have another who is so commonly at his side not be in tune with something about him. none matched him quite as well as tsurumaru all these years later, though on kogi's part, it was not for lack of trying]
no subject
[ what else is there to say to that?
he thinks, briefly, that this might end up feeling more ostracizing than not, depending on how long it lasts. ]
Either way, we'll make it work.
no subject
[he nods to himself]
Regardless, we will know that those in our lives will remain dear nonetheless. Even so...
[he glances to tsurumaru and manages a slight smile]
I am relieved, to not be embarking on this journey on my own.
