[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.]

[He ruffles his hair.] And you're not a burden. You never have been.
no subject
It's not?
no subject
Of course not.

[ He fiddles with his food some more, not sure what else to do. ]
You can ignore it though. Doesn't have to happen, or anything.

[ He smiles and returns to his bowl, eating it with delight. ]

His biggest worry, how would he deal with meeting a teacher? It was hard to meet new people and someone who was going to teach him things...like his old owner? Would the teachings be similar? He didn't know, but the face a new person he had to get used to came to mind made his stomach twist.
He finished the ramen as well as he could, his stomach content at least. ]
Thanks for the food.
no subject
He finishes soon, though, and pays for the meal.]
Was it satisfying, at least?
no subject
It was. Thanks.

[He places a hand on Eric's shoulder and carefully steers them out of the stand.]
Do you remember Honami?
no subject
Ah, that lady we met when we first escaped...right?
no subject
He just needs to carefully tread slowly.] I've been keeping in touch with her since the last time we've seen her. What do you think of her being your private teacher?
no subject
[ That was fast. He squeezes Izumo's arm a bit, nervous about the unknown. He remembered that she was nice, and he talked to her, if only about 20 words the whole time they were there.
Have her, or someone completely new. Being taught by her, wold that be good? ]
I...don't know.
no subject
Just think it over, okay? And if you agree, I can call her.
[He's sure the others at the bar will help out, too, should Eric choose to pursue his education. Most of them had at least graduated from high school (or were high school level), and there had been others who succeeded in college.]
no subject
[ He appreciates the comfort, glad he won't be away from his brother so much to not feel this. ]
Would you be interested? Doing school again?
[ His brother was in middle school when they were taken, maybe he wanted to go back to a bit more of a normal life as well. ]
