[ Go ahead and say it. Satoru's ego is too large for that to do anything... And it's fine. He's also already wearing his school uniform, so he's mostly here to Observe.
Makes a face at the worm itself. ]
Yeah, not like I need anything if they do turn off whatever is neutralizing us. [ ... ] You didn't need to eat it, you know.
Anyway, he just glances up at Satoru like he thinks he's dumb, but there isn't much heat in it. ]
It would be stupid to waste the opportunity.
[ especially after being painfully shown just how lacking in power he was. satoru wasn't the only one who wanted to get stronger, even if the rest of them pale in comparison. ]
[ SATORU IS DUMB and he understands he's being dumb. They're supposed to be the strongest... And he shouldn't be shaken, shouldn't falter. His faith should stay unwavering.
But he looks at Suguru, discontent, then back to the worm to childish glower at it like how dare it get babied. HE SHOULD BE BABIED INSTEAD. ]
So... What does it do without its ability? Is it just useless?
[ Nudges the worm with his foot and mumbles audible insults at it. ]
Anything can be used as a weapon with the power of imagination.
[ Suguru can get dressed as Satoru thinks through the locations. ]
Not sure if I trust breaking stuff like windows in this creepy village. We might get cursed... There's a really old shovel at the cemetery that would definitely break after one hit.
You don't have reversed cursed technique here. You need to adjust. [ Probably not helping Satoru's paranoia. ] I don't think it'll be getting anymore comfortable around here anytime soon.
[ Tosses his robe back in the box and sits down on one of the beds. They are... fine. ]
[ Which is a lie. He is on edge for so many reasons, but he playfully bullies by rolling Suguru onto his side, then rolling him back and forth like a rolling pin. ]
[ Yeah, they are side by side. If he ignores how uncomfortable the beds are, and the fact that all his cursed technique is gone, he can try to pretend they've just collapsed back in the dorms after a mission.
Even though it's really not the same. ]
What if you fall into an open grave in the cemetery?
[ This is nothing like their dorm beds which are actually nice. Satoru doesn't mind, they've been through and settled for worse when they go on missions. He scowls. ]
Okay, I'm not going to wear them all the time.
[ Reaching over, he pulls Suguru in and shoves his face into his shoulder, holding him tightly there. It's just a big hug! ]

[ Ick. ]
no subject
Pretty much. It's not really big or fast enough to be helpful.
[ And it can't fly or anything... Too bad. But he'll start changing into his uniform. ]
It's probably smart to try and find something that could be used as a weapon. Some of the other people here definitely have some.

no subject
One hit's better than nothing. Maybe we could break apart some of the pews and use the wood as a bat?
[ Once he's dressed, he frowns in Satoru's direction. ]
You look like you haven't slept since we got here. A weapon's not going to do much if you pass out from exhaustion.
no subject
I don't usually get much sleep to begin with, so it's fine. [ Pushes up his pitch dark sunglasses. ] It would be easier if we had nice beds.

no subject
If only your thighs were soft enough to use as a lap pillow.
no subject
Sorry. Maybe I should smother you with them instead? That's one way to get some sleep.
no subject
[ Satoru's head is back upright, staring at Suguru's general direction. ]
You don't look so good yourself.
no subject
We're here pretty much defenceless and the food tastes like crap. So yeah, I'm not having the greatest time.
no subject
[ Comes over to also sit on the bed. It is not very comfortable, but it isn't awful, right?
No, it's still bad, probably. ]
no subject
I'm relaxing more than you.

no subject
is rolled about... just lets this happen... ]
You're not. Try sleeping for twenty minutes or something, I'll keep watch.
no subject
I slept enough earlier.
no subject
And he rolls onto his back, reaching out with his other hand to tug his sunglasses down. ]
Yeah, sure.
no subject
Hey!
[ He does look like he did not sleep as much as he promised he would. Going to push his glasses back up. ]
no subject
[ is it to match your icons? ]
no subject
It feels weird not to wear them. [ Crossing his arm, he lets the pause stretch. ] But I can't see a thing.
no subject
Pulls him onto the bed. ]
You're going to end up walking into the swamp.
no subject
[ He allows himself to be pulled onto the bed. Is he pulled just beside him? He'll become a ragdoll. How obedient for once. ]
