Based on what I've spoken to your team about - has it reached your ears that in order to revive the removed, two kills need to be orchestrated by the team?
It seems that we have a deadline.
[as for teasing zuko
he just smiles briefly before giving him another peck. yea he does.]
Yeah... I heard about both of those things. I meant to tell you.
[ but other stuff came up. but it's hard to brood when soo-won keeps kissing him wtf. ]
I don't know if we're all going to be able to pull it off. Apparently Wolf and Fox are at 2, and I know Tiger's at 1.... Rabbit and Swan are still 1, I think. Did anyone else kill on your team?
Oh? Then Tiger, Wolf, and Fox's additional kills that I wasn't aware of would account for Hajime, Kasumi, and Shiro, correct? Thank you for the updated standings.
Swan got at least one kill this past week, but I have yet to hear of another PHS team notification going off, so they may have gotten two.
Rabbit and Goat remain at one - but I anticipate that should Goat be called upon to deal with nova splintering, I will be asking him to task me with it.
Have you heard about another team's PHS icon blinking? Or do you know what happened to Hikaru?
[because otherwise - how can he know that swan only has one?]
But yes, I'm sure. Of my team... I am likely the most capable. And... I'll be prepared - should others choose that generating nova during trial is more important than my life.
[his ego is also very small, so he won't mind if everyone chooses to vote for him.]
I thought you knew what happened to Hikaru.... [ he knew the nova-splintering friday, at least. ] But, no. Just that two Swans told me 1, and that they were preparing to go again in the next two weeks.
[ ..... if he may be selfish for a moment- ]
I don't want you to die again, even if you get revived.
Ah - no.... I received new information that what happened to Hikaru didn't have to do with her nova splintering. But it sounds like all the Swans are certain that they no one confessed to killing Hikaru. So if no one else's PHS icon blinked, and the Swans are certain it wasn't them.... there might be an anomaly where whoever killed Hikaru didn't activate the notification for their team for some reason.
[which.
weird. really fucking weird.
as for the selfishness, soo-won seems to pause a bit. zuko will feel the way that he tenses, because - soo-won doesn't get to be selfish about himself.]
.... you know I don't have time like everyone else does, Zuko. If anything... isn't that another reason why it would be alright, if it was me?
As long as you all succeed and I'm able to return to my kingdom - I am willing to accept what happens.
[because if he can get the second kill for goat, then he'll be revived. in truth, it's not like he wants to die... but he feels like saying that out loud to zuko -
it might just harm his feelings more, when soo-won would rather protect them]
[ now he's just confused ] There's something off about the blinking. I just can't put my finger on it.
[ no one blinking last week didn't make sense to him if it's truly murder related... zuko tenses, too. his temper flares a little -- more defensively. ]
No, that's another reason it shouldn't be you. I know you're set on this and I won't stop you, [ soo-won's honor is at stake! he's probably right about being the most capable. and he gets that. but he's already done one kill for the team. ] but don't say it's alright. It's not.
No... she wasn't. It was something else, though I still don't know what that is. I think that the blinking is circumstantial, based on how much the Realm wants us to know about who's doing the killing.
[so it's mostly reliable - but there are some issues that have been showing up.
but.
he does look a little surprised when zuko's temper flares, surprised that someone is so intent on protecting him. people had talked about them being cursed before, hadn't they? maybe this is part of that...
even still.
he kisses zuko before he can think about it this time - it's probably still mostly out of strategy, rather than emotion, even if he lingers just half a beat longer. probably.]

[ god he makes the dorkiest smile at that comment.... ]
Thanks. I think I'm doing okay with Fox himself, even though he's still always making fun of me.
no subject
[though he does look apologetic for not being able to give zuko an answer, and chooses to just press a kiss to his temple as if to make it better]
Fufu, is that so? I still don't know if he likes me much, but I keep talking to him anyway.
no subject
[ he is appeased by the kiss...... ]
You should tease him.
[ avenge zuko!! ]
no subject
[lucky for him, it very much is!]
Oh? Do you think I'm much good at teasing people?
[he literally teases zuko so easily]
no subject
[ zuko is definitely assuming soo-won knows more than he does. ]
You tease me all the time!

[ honestly? zuko can't fault soo-won for that because he also asked tiger to call on him for nova-splintering. so. ]
Are you sure, Soo-Won? That's a big risk.

.... then I'll try to live.
If it upsets you so greatly -
I will try to live, no matter what happens.
