open rp post
You know the drill. Here's an open post/call me out for all of your Ly RP related needs. Put the character's name in the subject line, get a thread! Feel free to comment with a scenario or post a blank one and I'll come up with something. The muselist is here! |
no subject
No.
[ But now Mitsunari has to make a decision. What is he going to do with this information? There are three things to take into consideration.
1. The crew deserves to know the truth.
2. Ragna doesn't want them to know the truth.
3. Them knowing is not going to change the outcome.
...No, that's not quite it. There's one more thing to consider.
4. Does he, Mitsunari, have the right to decide to tell what is ultimately Ragna's own personal secret?
He's an honest man by nature. Keeping secrets isn't his thing. He's never thought to withhold information unless it was something pertaining to battle plans. Something that must not be shared for the sake of the ones giving him that information.
Which takes precedence -- Ragna's right to his secret or the crew's right to know? Mitsunari isn't sure. Can he really make this decision for them both? Is this one of those things that he must not share?
...
Mitsunari takes a breath and reaches a conclusion. ]
This secret... your condition... It is your problem to deal with. Not mine. Tell the others of your own accord. But -- if the others seek information from me, I will not hesitate to tell the truth.
[ Omission of the truth unless directly asked. It's not ideal, but it seems a fair compromise. ]
no subject
Tch. Looks like that's the most I'm gonna get outta you. What a pain in the ass...
["Not ideal" is a generous description. The thought of having to trust Mitsunari's discretion and judgment whether or not to reveal the secret of his condition is not something Ragna is comfortable with; normally, he avoids placing his fate in the hands of others at all cost, so this situation is entirely new and definitely unwelcome.
Not that he has any alternative, so it looks like he'll have to deal with it.]
... Thanks.
[He adds as an afterthought. As much as he doesn't like this consensus they have arrived at, he knows Mitsunari is actually accommodating him here; the other man is almost physically incapable of lying, so the fact he agrees not to tell anyone what he's learned for now is a small miracle.
He just hopes it doesn't mean that from now on, his answer to the question of "Where is Ragna?" will be "Dying" instead of "The galley".]
no subject
But. Wait. Did Ragna just... thank him?
Ragna?
Thanking him?
These two ideas do not gel together.
Mitsunari fixes him with a perplexed look -- and then he snaps back to his usual scowling self. ]
Save your thanks.
[ It might be that he's embarrassed to be thanked... ]
no subject
[He says that in a flippant tone like itt isn't an extremely insensitive comment to make. Shush, he can joke about his own upcoming death if he wants to.]
Stop being such a little shit and just accept it, dumbass.
[When Ragna is involved, the line between expressing gratitude and offending someone is really thin. In fact, he just does both at once. But there was a time when he was only capable of the latter; surely this is an improvement, no?]
no subject
[ That comment, however, is factually true. Mitsunari can't deny it. ]
...Your thanks are accepted.
[ Was that so hard, Mitsunari?
He doesn't comment on the rude nature of Ragna's statements. Why? In part because he's grown accustomed to Ragna's way of expressing himself and in part because it doesn't feel right to. Like it's a matter far too insignificant to address given the nature of this conversation. ]
