and by end of september i definitely meant end of august but it's fine

[zutsuki]

[He just sends back another video clip because he can't text well normally he sure as hell can't do it now. And..., sorry, Ruca, he can't lie about this, but also in part because he's less worried than he maybe ought to be.]

Yes! But don't worry, I'm okay. Milly knows what she's doing and she's looking after me. [He makes a thumbs up gesture that he about stabs himself in the eye with, but he's still grinning about it.]

/pat pat

[demonicbookworm]

Tanjiro, no! This is very worrying! You'll be suffering from headaches and nausea later! Please, don't drink any more.

Are you even old enough to drink?

[If he knew where Milly lived, he would be going there right now.]

Re: /pat pat

[zutsuki]

[A silly little laugh that sounds more foxlike than anything else, and he rolls into his back with his phone.]

I'll be okay, Milly won't let me get in too much trouble. And I dunno! I think the rules are different here.

[demonicbookworm]

But if you'll feel unwell or anything, please let me know!

[He is very not convinced.]

[zutsuki]

[He makes an OK symbol with one hand, looking through the circular space between his fingers.]

I'm sorry, you're all worried now. I'm okay I promise.

[demonicbookworm]

You're feeling well now. That's good. But I'm worried how you'll feel later or tomorrow.

[zutsuki]

[Well timed, Milly tosses a water bottle at him. He doesn't catch it even a little bit, but he scoops it up and shows it to Ruca anyway.]

I'll be safe about it, promise.

[demonicbookworm]

Okay then.

...And I appreciate you too!

[Just so we're clear!!]

[zutsuki]

[He startles a little at that, but then grins real wide, doing a funny little please wiggle on the floor.]

Oh, yay, I'm glad. You're super important to me, I don't think I'm very good at saying that.

[demonicbookworm]

[Oh Tanjiro. Ruca is touched even if he's still worried.]

I'm glad to hear that, but don't worry too much about saying it. Even without words I can tell. And I really appreciate how much you care about me.

[zutsuki]

[He gets real close to the screen and squints.]

...Ruca are you psychic and you didn't tell me, this whole time? Can you read my mind? Oh man, what am I thinking. [...this absolute walnut.]

[demonicbookworm]

Ah, no, no. I just meant that you're very kind to me so I can tell by your actions that you care.

I can't read minds.

[zutsuki]

[He laughs at that, and it's a dumb laugh-- the kind of laugh that's very honest and true, and very enthused, but maybe one you're embarrassed by other people hearing. It's mostly just because he's drunk, but it's fine.]

Well, that's a little less fun but also probably a lot better for everybody. Reading minds would be really hard, I think. 'Cause you'd know everybody's thoughts all the time? That's too much.

[demonicbookworm]

[Okay he's going to switch to video because it's weird to reply with text all the time.]

I guess so. I've never met anyone who can do that.

[zutsuki]

I dunno that I have, really, either. I guess Muzan could kind of do it but that was more like gross creepy stalking by blood, and nobody wants to talk about him anyway. [He makes a very sour face.]

[demonicbookworm]

Stalking by... blood?

[What.]

[zutsuki]

[He groans, rolling his eyes and laying flat on his back in a dramatic display. It's... probably pretty funny, given how usually composed he is.]

Yeah, that's the best way I can think of to describe it. Muzan, the progenitor of demons, he'd turn people into them by forcing them to ingest his blood. They'd either die or acclimate and become a demon, and in the latter case he could follow their movements and I guess hear their thoughts and words? If any of them talked about him they got killed. [The stankest of stank faces. Man he hates that guy.]

[demonicbookworm]

That's... really horrible and scary.

[He doesn't like it at all.]

But I didn't do things like that! It wouldn't be even possible to turn a human into a demon.

Ah...

[Oh no, is Milly somewhere close? He completely forgot about her!]

[zutsuki]

[He makes a vague sort of gurgling sound that is somewhat laugh like, reaching out to set two fingers over Ruca's face on his phone screen.]

Shh, I wouldn't have ever thought you would. You're way too sweet for that.

[demonicbookworm]

[The gesture makes him blush slightly.]

Ah, I...

[He wants to say that in the past life he definitely wasn't "sweet", but refrains from that.]

There's still so much you don't know about me. [He says with a sigh.]

[zutsuki]

[He taps his fingers to the screen again, rumbling a funny little laugh.]

And I apparently engage in underage drinking, which I didn't know about myself. I still know you're sweet.

[demonicbookworm]

[He blushes more, then tries to change the subject of the conversation.]

Don't drink any more than you already have, okay? And if you need someone to help you get home, let me know.

[zutsuki]

Waaaaasn't planning on it. And-- see? Sweet.

[Sorry Ruca, he's fixated on this.]

[demonicbookworm]

[More blushing.]

I-I... I'm just worried about you.

[zutsuki]

And that's sweet! I'm over here living my best life in the form of probably awful decision-making, and you're worried! You're looking out for me. I appreciate it.
