Ah, you're right, how dare I, Caramia, trust my own consigliere. What a horrible thing to do. Come oso fidarmi di qualcuno che dovrebbe consigliarmi? [ Even if Minato couldn't understand him, the sarcasm was thick enough in Caramia's voice to provide him enough context. ]

Is this subtle way of you telling me I should go grab the branch, too? [ Not that he was going to, but damn it, Kyrie was going to get shit about it. There's nothing more than a huff when the hat was shoved at him. ]

Well, FFFFFF [ He's not even saying "eff eff eff" a bunch, he's just going "ffffffffffff" with his mouth, what a loser. ] might send us a message, or something?

[Lord..... Caramia, that's so funny to say like that. Minato's eyebrow quirks at it, but he otherwise (somehow) manages to keep a straight face.

A-ahem...]

Let's just go back to the town for now. We can figure things out from there.

"If you're asking me if I'd like to play fetch with you, the answer is no." Pretty sure that isn't what he's asking, as a matter of fact, but here we are anyway.

Kyrie also keeps a straight face. Or rather, he keeps the face of someone who is entirely unamused by such an idiotic noise coming out of a grown man's mouth. Honestly, this is the don of a mafia, and he's sitting here making ffffffffffff noises? He's lucky he's not shot.

"If we do receive a message, I can't imagine someone as incompetent with language as you would understand it. You'll be lucky to have me and Minato here to decipher it for you."

Sono molto competente con la mia lingua perché ho avuto il miglior insegnante che chiunque potesse chiedere. Se mai, Minato è fortunato ad averti come insegnante. Devo dire che sono un po 'invidioso. Hai ancora così tanto da offrire, il mio consigliere incredibilmente talentuoso. Sono così orgoglioso di te.

//translation for the mobile bound: "I'm very competent with my language because I had the best teacher anyone could ask for. If anything, Minato is lucky to have you as a teacher. I must say that I am a little envious. You still have so much to offer, my incredibly talented advisor. I'm so proud of you."//

[ He gave Kyrie a warm smile. Sorry, Minato, you may have heard your name in there, but this was clearly an AB conversation. Still, he looked back at Minato after he was done with his excruciatingly dumb spill towards Kyrie. ]

Of course. We'll try for the other quest some other time and see what this one gets us.

[Minato definitely hears his name but that's... that's about all he can process.

He blinks, tilting his head quietly....but accepts it as something private.

It's probably fine.]

Mm... that's a good idea too. I feel as though doing more quests is for the better, somehow.

Alright Caramia! Damn!!! Kyrie thought they were done with this embarrassing shit. Yet another flawless example of how stunningly unpredictable an idiot can be.

Unfortunately this time, he's quick to react. And it's not in the way Caramia is probably hoping.

His face twists in something akin to disgust, and he crosses the short distance between himself and Minato so he can clamp his hands--minding the leaf, of course, he's not a total barbarian--over the boy's ears. In the same moment, he uses the contact to sort of urge Minato forward faster, as if trying to further the distance between the two of them and the mouthy moron.

"Caramia." His tone manages to be something both judgemental and deadpan at once, and with all the finality of a judge sentencing someone to a lifetime in prison. "I absolutely will not allow you to speak about my student in such a way, you vile, disgusting, perverted lion."

As he goes on, his voice raises, until he isn't quite shouting but still speaking far too loudly for any protests to go heard--or, at least, acknowledged.

"You ought to be ashamed to have even thought such filthy things. I wish you would have fallen from that tree and broken both your legs, so I could properly dispose of such a stupid and ugly addition to our party. Do us both a favor and hang yourself before we reach town." Hm. Perhaps that's a bit much...? But he's moving right along anyway. "Come along, Minato. We won't be needing the company of such a deviant."

Sorry, whatever other conversation they were having. It probably wasn't all that important.

Well, I'm hoping maybe doing them... might get us some answers?

[ Oh. Wait. That was a very stern "Caramia" out of Kyrie's mouth. Did... he say something wrong? He looked quite taken aback, of course. ] Wh- [ He's not even able to ask what happened before Kyrie goes on an absolute rant about him being a pervert?! What's up with that?! ]

Oi, oi, oi!!!!! [ Caramia frantically tried to clear himself (though, surely Minato didn't really think he said any of that?!) ] Who's the deviant here?! Me??? Coming from you, that's funny!! Would you rather I repeat myself so Minato understands?! I will!!!!! [ He won't. ] O-oi, Minato, I didn't say anything bad about you, I swear!

[ He did his best to keep his pace with the other two, trying to find out a way to get him out of the hole Kyrie dug for him. ]

Edited 2018-04-28 09:17 (UTC)

[What... what just happened. It's hard for Minato to believe that Caramia would say something so... uh, deviant (???) with such a smile on his face, but then Kyrie's clamping his hands over Minato's ears and offering up those words, and Minato is left blinking a bit like a deer-in-the-headlights, expression blankly puzzled.

U...uh...

Kyrie seems awfully serious about it, though...]

Caramia-san...? Kyrie-san...? [???????

Help him. Just...help him.]

Nope, goodbye!! Kyrie's going to usher Minato along at a brisk pace that threatens to break into a jog if Caramia tries too hard to keep up. And at this point, Kyrie's already got what he came for--he's not opposed to outright running ahead of the both of them to keep his dignity, if it comes down to it.

"Oh, no, I heard you loud and clear! If you try repeating yourself, I'll shoot you right between the eyes. Just keep your abhorrent fantasies unspoken, and I might still consider sharing my reward."

Funny how it's turned into his reward now, huh? ~~And funnier still how it ends up being Caramia's anyway.~~ But still a 'might' and 'consider', so it's not as if everything's changed at least.

Good luck crawling out of the hole, Caramia! Kyrie will enjoy watching you struggle.

Your reward?

[ Alright. Fine. Caramia cupped his hands together anyway, because he'd much rather be shot than have Minato believe he'd said anything perverse about him, and he needed to knock Kyrie down a peg. ]

Minato is lucky to have you as a teacher!!! [ He spoke slow, loud, and clearly. ] I'm so proud of you...!

[ There we go. Death warrant, signed, but it'd be worth it. ]

[well.

He's being propelled forward pretty abruptly (especially since Minato isn't really bothering to try to stop Kyrie from doing so), but that doesn't mean that he doesn't hear Caramia, especially when he's going out of his way to be loud.

A blink.

And another.

(Oh... that's cute. Caramia's cute and clearly so fond of Kyrie.)

Minato's lips twitch into a small smile, though he's at least wise enough to keep his mouth shut at a time like this, because he imagines Kyrie will be none-too-pleased.]

Well alright. If that's how he's gonna play it--

Kyrie stops abruptly (his hands move from Minato's ears to his shoulders, though whether or not he's physically trying to slow him so he won't fall is still up in the air) and spins on a heel so he's facing Caramia again. He's got to show Minato that he isn't all talk, after all! Sort of.

In one smooth movement he's drawn his pistol, flicking off its safety and pointing it in Caramia's direction. It's aimed steadily at his head, and Kyrie's finger is absolutely on the trigger.

Don't try this at home, kiddos.

"I warned you to keep your mouth shut, didn't I?"

[ The initial shock of having a gun pointed at his face causes him to jump slightly. He can't say he wasn't expecting it, however, so it very quickly subsides-- maybe a little too quickly, actually. Almost like he's used to this or something, how strange. But what he did after that, instead of trying to resolve things, or panic, or draw his own gun...

He laughed. A small, amused laugh.

He was glad that this was something that bothered Kyrie. He was quite cute sometimes, wasn't he? Unfortunately, Caramia's laugh didn't last very long, on the merit that he was still relatively sick and simply laughing did wonders on pulling any sort of coughing fit out of him. He turned his head to cough into his hand, the bemused light in his eyes dying with the cold realization of just how sickly he was.

He couldn't even have fun with his consigliere? What a cruel existence. ]

[...... What?

Kyrie pulls out a gun just like that, leveling it at Caramia's head, but then Caramia just laughs and--

And starts to cough?

Minato's eyes widen, and suddenly the gun is much less worrisome.]

Caramia-san? Are you okay?

[?????]

See, Minato? This is how you handle Caramia. He cracks one joke too many, you pull a gun, he laughs, he coughs--

--Ah. He's coughing.

Kyrie's hold on the gun loosens as his arm wavers, then lowers entirely as he takes an automatic half-step forward. He's not quite holding his breath, but there's the briefest flash of concern in his features before his expression takes on a far more serious edge than that of their light-hearted shenanigans only moments before.

And, for probably the first time today, he's totally silent.

He really needs to find a way to get Caramia his medicine...

[ He's fine. Don't mind him. He even waved Minato off while he's coughing. ] I'm- [ He gave himself a second more, clearing his throat. ] I'm okay! A little sick, but it's nothing to worry about. [ Yet. ] I'm just not used to this weather, it'll take me some time to adjust.

[ Look see! He's smiling again. Not coughing. He's totally fine. ]

Come on now, the quicker we get back to town the better, right? I could really use some water now, I think.

Edited (I wasn't done pl e ase...) 2018-05-18 04:30 (UTC)

[...That is the last thing that Minato would consider fine. His brow furrows, as he looks between Kyrie (silent and solemn) and Caramia, coughing and waving him off.

The weather...? Yeah right.

He nods anyway, because if Caramia needs water, then water is what they'll get, but...]

... Caramira-san. How sick...are you, really?

It's that 'yet' that's the most worrisome... But--

"Don't worry about him, Minato." He sounds just as carefree as ever, even going so far as to sound bothered by the whole ordeal. He seems to easily toss the blame onto Caramia for daring to cough at all, and just as easily he's flashing a grin Minato's way, that same teasing glint to his eye as before--geez, was he actually concerned at all then?

Haha. Absolutely.

But, to his credit, Kyrie shows no signs of that pesky little detail! It's gone as quickly as it came. And, conveniently enough, Kyrie's also about to be gone, given that he turns to lead their continued trek back to town without so much as a second glance given Caramia's way.

"Idiots can't catch colds, isn't that right?"

Kyrie's right, it's nothing to worry about. This is normal for me. [ Well, that's not reassuring, is it? ] I mean, I'll get better. It's just a cough. [ He's not very good at this. ] Trust me, this isn't anything I don't know how to handle.

[ Then he glares at Kyrie at his little remark. Come on, Kyrie, don't be rude, jeez... ]

Then what's your excuse?

[... They might go right back to their banter, but... Minato just falls silent, brow furrowed a little, as he follows along back to town.

He's worried. He'll always be worried, no matter what they say--Caramia doesn't look so good. But if they're not feeling comfortable enough to tell him? He'll just have to keep an eye on Caramia for himself.

He's not super happy about this, though.]
