[MISTER SHIELDER YOUR DID IT.

Whenever they cross paths again, Kanda is all healed and cleaned up, looking as pristine as he did on arrival apart from his bad attitude... at least they balance out. He'll nod at Aventurine, and though he doesn't call out, the emotional vibes are mostly calm and satisfied, with just the slightest undercurrent of lingering uncertainty.]

[tactic]

[ That is fine. Aventurine will fall into step with Kanda like where are we going? ]

Your ear's back.

[sixillusions]

[HELP where are they going indeed. Maybe back to the haunted house or something... actually no he'll probably sleep in his apartment unless he's forced to stay there.]

I told you I'd heal.

[tactic]

Can you blame me for having some doubt? I've seen you at some of your worst injuries.

[ The CYOA... The break-in... It's a mess out here. ]

[sixillusions]

[A grouchy face.]

If we hadn't been blocked, I would've been fine those times too. [No he wouldn't have because I would've killed him off somehow regardless BUT HE DOESN'T KNOW THAT.]

[tactic]

[ WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS ]

Fair enough. It's good to see you back to yourself now.

[ And then a small laugh. ]

We never did go fishing, did we?

[sixillusions]

[I gotta be

Looks at him.]

Why are you obsessed with fishing.

[tactic]

I'm not obsessed with it. It's just become one of those things associated with you.

[ Kanda and fishing... The imprint. ]

[sixillusions]

Why?!

[HE DOESN'T EVEN LIKE FISH]

[tactic]

... It was one of the better ways to engage you in conversation.

[ Yeah. ]

[sixillusions]

You were less annoying after you died.

[DON'T JUST SAY THAT]

[tactic]

... Thanks, Kanda.

[ It's okay, he'll take it as a genuine compliment. ]

I think I learned a lot about myself in that time. I hope the same goes for you.

[sixillusions]

[STOP THAT'S NOT WHAT HE MEANT he doesn't know what to do with this genuine response. There's a pulse of curiosity, because (fic voice) he only wishes he hated everyone, but of course he doesn't ask more.]

I already knew myself.

[Honestly--it's not even bravado or a lie, at least not from his own perspective. He had his development before he got here.]

[tactic]

Difficult to the very end.

[ But he sounds genuinely amused by that, giving a little laugh. ]

Maybe we'll get to see each other again one day.
