I find it unlikely that you haven't seen my message.

I'm well-aware of the fact that you feel guilty but acting as if your guilt trumps my free will is an insult to me. I have agency. I know what I'm doing.

Tell me that you're healthy and fine right now. If you make me hunt you down, I'll be irritated.

qrow living his worst life

[personal profile] eyeforaneye 2020-03-26 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's a big city.

Knowing that, he isn't about to start this journey half-cocked, or even assume he'll need to resort to drastic measures if they're avoidable. So he calls him again. Then again after that.
]

I'm giving you more chances to avoid this than you deserve. Stop being so selfish and answer. I have better ways to spend my time.

[ Not to mention that he's exhausted and in no small amount of pain. ANOTHER CALL from a man who doesn't know better, only now truly starting to realize what he's going to be forced to do.

It will take him hours to locate him, starting at the speed-dating spot where they met and canvassing the city with a quiet but nevertheless resolute determination. And when he does finally enter the correct bar, conversing with the bartender who points him towards a table in the back? Well, he looks tired. Eyes bruised, hood drawn up to protect him from light, but emotionless and stalwart nevertheless. He approaches, chair scraping the ground when he pulls it out to take a seat.
]

So you're unharmed.

To not be spoken down to by a man acting like a child, among other things. I could proceed to list them, if you like.

[ A sharp retort that lacks the fire needed to make it a real barb, eyes drifting to the watch before returning to Qrow himself. He smells like alcohol, the bitter stale scent that comes from liquor consumed and not liquor still in its glass. How long has he been here? Long enough to get himself drunk, and Sasuke considers whether or not slapping him would help to sober him up. Unlikely. ]

Did you read my messages or didn't you?
eyeforaneye: (122;)

[personal profile] eyeforaneye 2020-03-26 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
So you read your name.

You knew it was from me, you knew what we'd experienced together two nights ago, and you knew based upon that that I was likely contacting you for a related reason. Why ignore it?

[ Because making him say it might make him feel even the tiniest bit better. ]
eyeforaneye: (142;)

There's a simple way to avoid interaction.

Answer on the first damn message instead of wasting my time. [ He waves the bartender off when the man looks his way, certainly not looking to drown his own miseries. He knows better. Has seen far too many shinobi whose minds didn't agree with their profession and who spent too much time trying to convince themselves of a different reality. They would stumble out of bars into the streets of Konoha while Sasuke walked home from his missions, some vomiting, some crying, some laughing. All of them purging something from their systems that they wouldn't while sober.

He eyes Qrow that much more critically, silent for a moment.
]

There was no other way to make sure you weren't dead or imprisoned.

[ Sasuke makes little attempt to hide the way his gaze drops to the drink in Qrow's hand, displeased and appraising. He's teetering on the edge of something, but what that is Sasuke doesn't know. Perhaps the only way to find out is to give him a push, but that isn't his job. Not intentionally, at least. ]

Neither. I ended up aided the following day by other Mirrorbound, though for side effects from the full moon itself and not your actions. I wouldn't have volunteered if I couldn't have dealt with it.

Stop underestimating me just because you're irritated with yourself. It's an insult to me.
