[when the SFC turns on, there’s actually two people visible. One is Shiro, and he looks less than pleased. He has removed his coat at some point, and now Rin is wearing it. Rin certainly looks worse for wear. Whatever happened has left him with a mostly-bandaged arm, and several spots of skin that aren’t covered by the jacket are red and faintly blistered. He doesn’t look terribly happy either but he’s not frowning nearly as much as Shiro.

They're also up on the island, sitting on the beach.]

Good afternoon. We, ah, felt it was important to let you all know something-

[Rin cuts in before Shiro can fully get to his explanation]

Dad broke the ocean.

[Shiro sputters at that and is quick to protest.]

I did not break the ocean!

Yeah, okay, we both broke it. Well. I mean-- I dared Dad to bless the ocean and it kinda worked better than we were expectin’.

That doesn’t mean it's broken, it’s just a little holier than it was yesterday.

[Whoops they were supposed to be talking to the SFC, not each other. So Shiro turns his attention back to that.]

We just wanted to warn any residents who might be affected by holy water, you probably won’t want to go swimming for a day or two.

Still think it’s funny to say you broke it...

[The feed shuts off just after Shiro smacks Rin on the back of his head.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yeah you'd like that, wouldn't ya?

[Don't mind Rin just rolling his eyes.]

It's just a burn, Vanitas. Ain't any different than any other burn.

[Well it's more like a hot water burn as opposed to a fire burn, but Rin doesn't really know, medically, what the difference is.]

[Wait.

Vanitas?

Sorry Rin your conversation is getting interrupted as Shiro grabs the SFC and peers into it to get a good look at this kid.]

You're Vanitas?

Just a burn, huh? Doesn't look like it's just a burn-

[Rood, interrupting whatever the heck this was.]

Just be sure to let Serph know.

[And now finally addressing the elder.]

I doubt Rin would call someone else by that name.

Yeah well holy water and demons, okay? Works a bit differently, still hurts like hell.

[huff]

Callin' you asshole would be more fittin'.

[Shush Rin, this is serious.]

The same Vanitas who's been causing trouble for my son?

It's bad when you have me questioning your judgement.

[Though it was good for entertainment.]

The very same. [At least he's honest?]

Shadup.

[Such a great response, Rin.]

[Sorry Rin, Shiro will be standing up and walking away with the SFC. You'll have to chase after him to argue more.]

Alright, alright, that's enough. Rin needs his rest now, so you're going to be leaving him alone.

[Even though his voice is light, it sounds far from friendly. He no like you, Vanitas.]

[He was totally wowed by that response, Rin. Totally.

And it's actually normal for people not to like him so it wasn't any hair off of his back. He actually will just raise a brow at the whole now talking to old dude only.]

I already said my piece. Hurry up with whatever threats you want to give so I can be on my way.

What makes you think I'm going to threaten you?

[Cooperation, Vanitas. He wants cooperation here.]

Don't even bother with him, Dad. It's like talkin' to a violent brick wall.

[What was that about resting?]

Think you need duct tape if you want him resting.

[They have this roll with girly starfish printed on it. It would be perfect for Rin.]

I'm capable of killing and I've been bothering your kid for months. Why wouldn't you threaten me?

[There isn't any fun in cooperation though.]

[He's waving Rin off. He's got this.]

It's my policy to give everybody one chance. There's no need to start a fight if everyone can just avoid each other and not cause problems.

[See that 'not causing problems' part? That means not bothering Rin with half-threats like he made today.]

[Yeah just flipping you off, Vanitas.]

[Sorry Rin. He can't see. There is an old dude in the way.]

So that's where he gets it from. [And what fighting? Unless he's talking about...the water dropping in?]

What you've seen is as far as it goes with us. I won't kill him and I have no interest in taking it further. [There. Happy?]

[Someone who's resorted to violence once will likely resort to it again. Shiro knows this, which is why he takes precautions.]

Good, then there won't be any problems. Thank you for your cooperation.

[He's not cooperating. Just doing the same as he has already done.]

Whatever. Anything else? [A pause.] Is sparring allowed?

Nope.

[Sorry, he is all too familiar with the 'it was a sparring accident' excuse. He did teach kids for over 20 years, after all.]

There's going to be a minimum of fifty feet between the two of you at all times, so phone-contact only.

[...

Seriously?

He's going to just laugh.]

He already killed me before so it's not like he can't handle me.

[Rin. Did you even tell your daddy about the Host Club visits?]

It doesn't matter, the point is that we're avoiding fights here.

[noooope he doesn't know about any host club visits.]

He harasses me at the host club.

[Yeah no he's not going to keep quiet about that anymore.]

Might as well put him in bubble wrap then.

[Gosh Rin, your dad is funny.] He takes care of my...brother.

[He hopes Roxas never ever sees or hears about this.] And I visit their work. Might be hard to maintain that distance. [And he wouldn't actually avoid Rin because some old guy said so.]

Is that so?

[SHOOTING RIN A LOOK REAL QUICK and then he's back to all-smiles.]

Well, if Rin and your brother work at the same place, I'm sure it can be arranged where you can visit when Rin isn't there.

[Rin meets that look with an irritated one of his own. But he doesn't say anything. Just a sigh an a roll of his eyes.

Vanitas isn't going to listen. He hasn't listened yet and he's not about to start, and as much as Rin likes having some one finally on his side that has any sort of authority at all, he's not holding his breath for progress in the situation.]

[Rin is right in this one.]

Didn't know you needed an old man to talk for you, Rin.

[Rin never told him to actually leave him alone. Well in a clear way. It's...weird.]

He's not five and I have no reason to listen to you.
