[ voice ] after eizen was a dumbass

[rokubro]

[Edna is going to feel a strange almost frustrated mental nudge.]

Hey Edna, you really need to talk with your brother.

[shootingstars]

Why am I getting dragged into your lover's quarrels?

[And yet almost immediately--]

What did he do this time?

[rokubro]

[Love— ...You know what he's tired enough to join in.]

Yeah we totally broke up.

I'll spare you the details, but he said something to someone that upset her and he refuses to recognize that he's in the wrong. Not to mention at how he is about you, you'll be lucky if he doesn't beat up every guy that so much as looks at you.

[shootingstars]

But you still care, so you want me to talk to him.

[Jeez. Well, she can't say she's surprised. Her brother has always had a way of being insensitive; especially towards a girl's feelings.]

Thanks for your concern, but I already knew that. Unfortunately for him, he's going to have to learn the hard way that I'm not going to let him have his way anymore.

[...]

Don't worry, I'll talk to him.

[rokubro]

Thanks.

[And then a small, awkward pause.]

Sorry for bringing you into this.

[Because...yeah she's right. He's mad at the stupid pirate, but he cares. A little. Way deep, deep down.]

[shootingstars]

I'll send you the bill for it later.

[Don't worry, the light air in her tone isn't serious. Probably.]

Listen. You know my brother. He's an idiot through and through. There's no excuse for it.

[...]

He doesn't mean to hurt people. But he does. Who better to finally teach him the error of his ways than me.

[rokubro]

Bet it's gonna be pretty steep.

[It's cool, he can roll with it. But he'll probably feel like he owes her something now. Such is the Rangetsu way.]

But yeah, I know how he is. [Siiiiiigh.] Stubborn like the rock he was born from. [Still there's something like a wry grin in his voice.]

Good luck.

[shootingstars]

You're paying for only the highest quality service, after all.

[If you send her something dumb and nerdy like some other idiot, she's going to kill you. (And probably keep it anyway but shut up.)]

It's nothing I can't deal with.

[rokubro]

I suppose that's fair, so I'll see what I can do. Especially since it would probably drive your brother up the wall.

[Real motivations, right there. Also—how about a nice beautiful sword?]
