[ . . . . ugh. so there's more people who are smarter than the person they already encountered? buzen frowns at that, thoughtful. he can pass a human decently when he has enough context for situations, but right now all of this is so foreign he can't think up a good lie.
so he hesitates for a moment before frowning.]
... do any of them have a power that'll let them detect me if I hide? You can go by yourself, but I want to stay close by.
[ . . . . he doesn't like this even a little bit, and it shows. but he also knows that it's probably the smoother option for the sake of the mission so eventually, he nods.
he lets go of itsuki's hand then, setting him free.]
[is it wrong to admit that seeing Buzen look worried for his sake is really doing something for him.... it is perhaps the yandere in him.... He refrains from telling Buzen that 'don't worry the only one allowed to hurt me is you ❤️❤️` because he doesn't think he has enough time to explain that it's a horny come-on.
instead, he darts in -- not buzen fast but still quicker than how itsuki, the slug, usually moves -- and smooches buzen on the cheek. mwah! then he moves back with a wink and turns to head to the river...!]
[it turns out that Itsuki's half-right. The hiyokos are there with the laundry, which he makes a beeline for, but it seems as if no one else is around...? Maybe all that caution was unwarranted after all, just a quick and breezy mission - in and out...
Then, an enraged shout of 'Itsuki!' and two young women approach from the opposite bank. One with long dark hair who opens her mouth to continue, the other with purple hair, who looks steadily at Itsuki with an indecipherable expression..
'Tell me, why do I have to be saddled with the most lazy and selfish partner on this entire ship! Where have you been, and what have you been doing?!]
O-ojou-chan... Nanami-chan... [OH BOY.... Itsuki resists the urge to look frantically around for Buzen, looking down at the hiyokos instead.] I was just -- helping the hiyokos with the laundry! I didn't realize how much time passed.
[unfortunately, this just sets off another tirade about how much of a terrible liar Itsuki is, along with all of his numerous, varied, and obvious faults. Itsuki continues to stand, patiently absorbing the girl's rage like he's done this before. The strategy apparently seems to be 'shut my mouth and wait it out because anything else I say will just set her off again',]

Just in case.

They definitely won't spot you, and I won't go far. [no wandering off to have shady pow wows with people who want to kill him,]
Just down to the river, and then we can go back to the archway.
[and go home...!!]

Okay. Be careful.
