[Oh. Oh this is uh. Unexpected. He should have known better, absolutely. On the other hand, this is Melius, who assumes the worst automatically. Besides, his asshole omen just kept yelling swear words at someone who's supposed to be his friend!!]

[He clearly doesn't deserve an apology!!]

U-um. It - it's fine. It - it's okay.

[But, shockingly, he gathers what little courage he has to say:]

She doesn't need one though.

[retsuden]

It's not an excuse, but I forgot who I was. And I know the person I used to be isn't... kind.

And it isn't okay. I was rude and hurtful. To both of you. She was just being herself. And so were you.

[fusrodaaaah]

But... she isn't. Kind. Either. You um. You really don't... need to apologize.

A-and it's. I forgive you.

[retsuden]

You don't think? [ He has a really funny concept of kindness, apparently. ] Well, at least let her know I don't actually want to silence her, then. I usually find her entertaining.

[ He doesn't feel like he deserves to be forgiven that easily, but everyone seems to be. He supposes all in all, compared to some, he wasn't as bad to Melius as he could have been.

At least he didn't try to kill him :| ]

... Thank you, Melius. I appreciate your understanding.

[fusrodaaaah]

N-no. She's um. Rude, and loud. And... I-I think she did a murder. [Granted, that guy had been trying to kill Chizuru, but still.] But um.

You do?

[Sasuke thinks she's funny? That's kind of a relief, in a weird way.]

It um. Sure. It - it happens. Here.

[retsuden]

I do. I also don't think murder negates someone being capable of kindness. [ Says the guy who murdered a lot of people. ]

Mm. I suppose. I still wish you hadn't had to... see that side of me.

[fusrodaaaah]

N... no. No it... it doesn't. But she's - [He makes a little gesture that unfortunately doesn't translate well.] - like that...

[Which is really more the issue than the murder.]

The - the side with the - lightning shooting? You uh. You weren't so bad.

[retsuden]

Mmm. I suppose I understand.

[ He'd still apologize to her, but that's not the point probably. ]

... I tried to kill your omen just because I was annoyed.

[fusrodaaaah]

W... well. Um. I don't - I don't know if... that...

... togaat ahrk funt fucker.

[Tried and failed. Melius' silence is just plain mortified.]

I'm sorry.

[retsuden]

[ Sasuke snorts, because even if he can't quite get the full exact translation, he can certainly get the gist. ]

I deserved that. I'm glad she's quick as she is.

[fusrodaaaah]

Um.

Can you... actually. Hurt Omens?

[retsuden]

... I don't know. But I wouldn't have wanted her to be the one where I found out you could.

[fusrodaaaah]

[There's some... chatter... on Melius' end. Mostly the smug sort of boasting from his omen. Like you could ever, etc etc.]

Then... I'm. Glad you didn't. Do that.

[retsuden]

Mm. Me too.

[ Though he's 90% sure that kind of arrogance she's got is going to end up biting her in the ass. IT ALWAYS DOES, BRO. ]

[fusrodaaaah]

[She's... very Dragon-Like in that respect. Their pride is overwhelming in most of them.]

I'm. Glad you're okay. Now.

[retsuden]

... Me too. Thank you for your understanding, Melius.

[fusrodaaaah]

It- it's nothing.

You're um. Welcome.

[He tried SO HARD to say that last word.]
