[How many times can we fall?]
[It's been a week since they've managed to escape.
Neither of them knew who tipped someone off about their location, who helped them escape while everything became hacked and otherwise useless in keeping them contained. It had been their downfall to let Izumo stay in the frontline, his skills almost legendary now with how effective of an assassin he has become over time. Their downfall led to their deaths, and Izumo has ran away with Eric while the remnants of that group tried to go after them.
They didn't know where to go - who to turn to.
For them, this open world was a mystery, even if Izumo has more experience than Eric when it came to the outside world. There's no one they could trust, and little to no money to their name since their captors often took the money Izumo's earned for his kills. But Izumo is adaptable, taking odd jobs here and there in order to earn enough money to save up and find a place to stay.
It's only been a couple of days ago when Izumo first ran into the leader of HOMRA, the Red King and him having traded blows before it came to a tie. They went their separate ways shortly after when an informant came running towards them, Izumo having escaped before he could be questioned.
Now, he had taken Eric to a refuge in a motel. It's small and not one of the best, but it's the best Izumo could afford on such short notice when it became obvious to him when Eric has to rest again.
His right shoulder blade itched from the burns he received from Mikoto, but he ignores it in favor of in-between watching Eric sleep and looking out the window from his perch on the windowsill.]

It has. Let's make sure it stays that way.

[His attention shifts away when he hears voices entering the bar, only concluding it's the rest of the guys.
He looks back at Eric.] Sounds like them. You should go and hang out with them. ["And apologize for running off." But he doesn't say it aloud.]
no subject
Do you think they'll be mad?
[ He not only ran off and snapped at them. But he also came back unconcious. He knows he'll probably be okay, but it was still a bit of a scare and he needed reasurrance. ]
no subject
[Placing his hands on Eric's shoulders, he steers him to the bar.] Be sure to apologize properly to them.
no subject
[ He couldn't say more before he was out the door.
They all greeted him cheerfully, Fujishima amd Totsuka both coming closer for a concerned question and examination.
He mumbled out that he was fine and sorry for worrying them. Another mumbled mess of apologies to Fujishima for snappy comments that he made. There was a round of some laughs and all was forgiven. He stiffened a bit when he was given a hug because of the redness of his eyes.
They decided to hang at the bar, Eric floating on the edge from the noise. He occasionally added to the conversation but mostly quiet sitting with Fujishima. But he kept looking up waiting for his brother.]
no subject
When he hears none, he lets out a little smile, earning a knowing smile from Totsuka.
It takes a while before Izumo finally comes out with a tray of drinks, the boys greeting him happily before Kamamoto helps Izumo pass the drinks out to everyone. He takes his usual spot behind the bar counter, putting out his cigarette on the ash tray on the counter as he listens to them all talk.]
no subject
He was glad he was able to calm down before everyone came over even if there was still some lingering, being a bit jumpy and avoiding almost all eye contact. Fujishima kept looking at him before looking at Izumo, noticing the change and being worried. ]
no subject
He smiles slightly, shaking his head.]
Eric, mind coming over here for a bit? [Hopefully if he draws Eric away from the crowd a little bit, he'll calm down further.]
no subject
You need something?
no subject
[Never mind Izumo's perfectly capable of doing it himself or ask one of the other guys to help him. Out of the corner of his eye, he catches a glimpse of Fujishima looking on worriedly.]
no subject
[ He frowns, knowing that usually Izumo asked other people for help, but he was willing to if asked. ]
no subject
[A lie, but Izumo's heading to the back, anyway. He glances back to see if Eric follows.]
no subject
[ He pouts a bit, trailing after Izumo. ]
no subject
[But they're entering the back now, and Izumo waves the light air of dust away.]
We'll need to clean up this room later.
no subject
[ He catches a sneeze before it goes off from the sudden change of dust in the new room. ]
That's not like you to leave a room this dusty.
no subject
[A light laugh even as Izumo goes to the back of the room.]
Mm, I've been preoccupied lately, but I'll clean it up once we're done moving the boxes out of this room.
no subject
[ He says it partially jokingly and in embarrassment. He follows tracing his finger along the wall. ]
Your clan job?
no subject
He nods.]
Mikoto wanted me to check out a couple of things, so it kept me busy.
no subject
What kind of things?
no subject
It's nothing too serious, but enough to warrant some attention. [Izumo wants to tell Eric the situation, but he and Mikoto both agreed not to tell anyone just yet.
If the situation gets any more dangerous, then perhaps, but not now.]
no subject
[ He didn't like it when they hid secrets about the clan. Sure he wasn't a fighting member, Izumo wouldn't let him, but he still wanted to know what was going on with the group and his brother. ]
You won't tell me though...will you?
no subject
[But at the question, Izumo pauses, quiet for a brief moment as he looks back at Eric.
He gives him apologetic smile.]
No, I won't. I'm sorry, but I don't want you to worry too much if it really does turn out to be nothing.
