[He spreads his hands with a shrug.]

Hey, you're stubborn. I have to make sure the message sinks in properly.

[threebetrayals]

Do you? Do you really?

[book2thehead]

I do. Seeing as you certainly haven't caught on to the fact that some of us here actually like you.

[threebetrayals]

I try not to assume everyone is an idiot masochist.

[Wanderer...]

[book2thehead]

[That makes Heizou grin, amused.]

Awwww, you always say the sweetest things. Careful now, you might make me like you more~

[threebetrayals]

[Just the most baffled-yet-judgemental look.]

[book2thehead]

[His grin just grows a little.

And of course that's when their drinks are ready at the counter, so Heizou goes to grab both and hand Wanderer his bitter, bitter tea.]

Here you go~

[threebetrayals]

[Which Wanderer takes with a smirk before sipping.]

Dare I ask what you got?

[book2thehead]

[Heizou sips at his with a satisfied hum.] Green milk tea. Definitely much too sweet for your tastes.

Do you like yours~?

[threebetrayals]

Perfectly bitter black tea. Unlike your abomination--why would you add milk to green tea?

[book2thehead]

[Heizou laughs brightly at that.]

I added sugar, too. And whipped cream~

[threebetrayals]

That is a crime to green tea. I'm afraid I'll have to arrest you~

[book2thehead]

[He's full on beaming now, leaning in just a little bit as he sips his drink again.]

Oh~? I didn't realize you were the tea police~

[threebetrayals]

[A shrug.]

For that? I'll become the tea police.

[Wanderer please.]

[book2thehead]

Oh my~ And what is to be my punishment for my heinous crime, officer~?

[threebetrayals]

I think arrest and exile into the abyss is punishment enough.

[book2thehead]

Oooh, the most serious of sentences. Can't I get something a little less harsh~?

[threebetrayals]

[Siiiiiiiiiiip and a smile]

No.

[book2thehead]

Awww... Even though I got you the most bitter tea in the shop~?

[threebetrayals]

Bribery doesn't work on me, you know~

[book2thehead]

[Heizou smiles as he sips at his tea, eyes warm and sparkling.]

I know~ [He likes that about him, after all.] But it was worth trying!

[threebetrayals]

If you say so. It's your punishment, after all, not mine.

[book2thehead]

Will you at least come visit me in my exile? To see how I'm handling my punishment?

[threebetrayals]

We'll see~ Assuming you last that long.

[book2thehead]

[His smile grows, just a bit, and something intense flickers in his eyes for a second.]

Well then, I'll have to make sure I do. Just for you~
