"Well... I'm not sure. But I'm going to try as much as I can if they bother you." His ponytail shook from side to side as he moved. "I think I'm quite convincing."

Admittedly, Kendo could tell, in the very least, he was slightly attracted to The Saint. It wasn't because she was beautiful, though it didn't hurt. Something about her aura felt... comfoting to him. He'd even let her touch him for more than a few seconds!

But, silly things like 'love' and 'romance' never ended well for him. It always got someone killed. So, he did his best to just suppress the emotions. Sela was right, after all. He was far too sinful to even dream about someone like her. He was a murderer, a thief, a crook. Hell, eh'd even killed the big guy upstairs, Capital G, God!

He sighed.

Kendo pulled out his mug. He stopped following them for a second to cook up a concoction of some sort. He dropped four pills into his water, watching it dissolve. This was not healthy. At all. But, Kendo needed to numb the feelings, and this was his best choice at the moment.

He downed the mug, emptying it, then threw it over his shoulder into a portal. He rubbed his eyes. He pulled out a pair of glasses and put them on. He snapped, changing into his 5th outfit, his usual hoodie getup. He started off again, follwing the group as if nothing happened.

Is it
wickedness?

weakness?

Iteral shakes her head at Yue. "I will not make you do that. Last thing I want is you being caught in the crossfire." She looks over at Kendo, thinking again. "... you okay?"

He nods. The pills were finally kicking in, his eyes duller than before, his grin smaller, thinner.

"Yep. 'm fine."

"Great, emotionally stunted Kendo." Iteral sighs again, thinking for Kendo to hear. Inner turmoil... and this is just great. His dislike of touch is one thing I can handle but not being able to help the only person who I was able to hang out with the past "years"... great. Just [EXPLETIVE] great. But five minutes with the Saint and he returns starstruck. What am I supposed to do now...? A few ideas soon float in her head, simultaneously.

----

Lean Iteral nods, going past him and into the bathroom. She looks at herself in the mirror, fixing her tie a little and sighing. "It is time soon..." She takes out a clock of her own but only stares at it for a moment, before she puts it back in her pocket and instead freshes herself up with cold water, before going to her new appointment.

He glared at Iteral, annoyed.

"You know its not like that. Plus, you try withstanding torture for 14 years straight, tell me if you come out of it perfectly fine. Excuse me for taking the only things that help me cope."

Iteral responds telepathically. She knows Kendo can read minds and thought it would be more... "appropriate", if only he heard her talking.

I know I'm not fine and I survived less... I think. But I am not giving you the fault for being bedazzled by her or something, sure I'd be too. I just feel like a very [EXPLETIVE] friend because I am unable to help, despite you being my only friend so far and for the Saint, even shackled, to make you smile in a few minutes, while I barely get you to give me as much as a smirk in over a thousand years. And then you drown yourself out in pills, not even taking mine but getting your own by other means.

I just feel... inadequate. Inadequate of helping you... of being your friend.

Kendo just shrugs.

"You've been a fine friend. Don't worry. Plus, you know Lawful Goods get me smiling more. You know the reason. Don't feel too bad."

Iteral shrugs.

I have not. If a Saint can do my job in less than five minutes, what am I? An acquaintance. And... I don't know why but I feel a different me in a different time line shudder.

He put a hand on her shoulder.

"Jesus christ, Iteral! Stop talking like that! You sound exactly like her!"

Iteral blinks a bit confused.

... her? You mean... the Saint... no, not her, else you'd enjoy.

Her gaze was literally a loading screen, she had no idea.

Kendo turned away, looking annoyed.

"You realize that this isn't my home universe, right?"

"You... mentioned that before, yeah." Iteral nods, looking away. "... I remind you of an alternate me?"

He narrowed his eyes.

"Yes. You do. Goddammit, you sound just like her."

Iteral pauses. "... I am her. She is me. I... don't see the problem." Unless... wait. He left the alternate me? Or did I die in that timeline...?

"I... wish I'd know mine. If I had any." Iteral sighs, looking at Kendo. "I told you why... how is the... other me?" She asks, a little... hopeful. Maybe she just died or something there.

"She's dead."

He said this bluntly, bitter.

"O-Oh." Iteral was... sad to hear that. But at the same time, it was a tiny bit relieving. That way, at least, she knows that it wasn't her that made Kendo leave or let down. "... do you know how?"
