[ ....

That gets Isaac to smile, sincere and warm. ]

Good. I can fight .... despite appearances to the contrary. [ somewhat dryly. ]

[survivaltricks]

You alluded to as much.

[his gaze flickers towards Isaac from the corners of his vision]

When you said you could've hurt him, but you didn't.

. . . which I'm glad for, but I wish he hadn't hurt you, either.

[stormsoff]

[ his eyebrows lift and his smile vanishes, but he doesn't seem upset. more thoughtful.

after a moment he huffs a quiet sigh through his nose. ]

I had a bottle, and then this glass. I could have got him pretty good, like twice, and I just ... didn't. [ far more softly ] I'm not even sure why. I just didn't...

[ .... he seems to know where that's going, actually, but lapses into silence instead ]

[a bottle and glass, wheezes. he doesn't say it aloud, but that kind of combination could probably kill a guy]

[thank fuck Isaac didn't accidentally kill a guy]

. . . like I said, it's better that you didn't.

[like. so much better]

Just. . . try not to pick anymore fights. Okay?

[stormsoff]

[ he KNOWS ]

I--I didn't want to hurt him!

[ ah, well. Isaac shuts up in a hurry and kind of draws into himself a little. He's still not sure what to think about the whole thing.

Either way he'll nod. ]

I won't.

[survivaltricks]

I know you didn't.

[he believes that, too. Isaac doesn't seem like the type of guy to purposefully hurt someone!!]

[at any rate, they've made it to Luna and Horikawa's room now, so. Akira lifts a hand to knock. but before he does, he pauses]

Ready?

[stormsoff]

[ Oh, right. They were going somewhere. Isaac draws up short, pulling in a breath, but...

He'll glance at Akira, searching, and--

a smile will flit across his face. He'll nod. ]

Let's go.

[survivaltricks]

[and with that, Akira lifts a hand to knock on Luna's door]

[and this is where we pick up]
