"Okay," Rin says, nodding. "So.... like this?" He tears off a strip in a similar manner.

Shiawase grins and smiles. "Yes! You pick up things very fast." Before long, you two have a sizeable mound of custom yarn at your feet. "I suppose this is what Itami asked for," says Shiawase as she carefully picks up as much as she can. "But surely he has more planned than this. . ."

". . .why are you so quiet?"

"I am merely thinking," Hitari says. "So few inhabitants in this universe, and all of them confined here. Why do you all desire to keep it? Nothing is offered to you from it."

"Well - I'm sure you would have a had time. . .if someone wanted to pop in and. . .essentially delete where you've lived your whole life. . ."

Hitari laughs a little. "I would have no quarrel if someone tried to erase my place. I was made to travel between realms."

Rin smiles back, albeit a little nervously. "I hope he does....."

"I guess we'll find out," Shiawase says over her shoulder as she carries the strands over to Itami.

I kind of have a plan, don't worry, Itami mutters as he takes her offering. Mostly involving hitting him over and over, but a plan nonetheless. . .

Itami begins tying knots between Hitari's hands and feet, drawing them so tight that only a blade could break them.

"Besides, they would only die. No one would be killed - to do that, truly everything would need to be gone," Hitari says. He prods the other with his foot. "You know that."

Rin looks to Shiawase with a worried look on his face. UM.

Shiawase frowns. "I hope you manage to come up with a better plan."

Well, unless you do it yourself, I'm not getting anything else to mind, Itami retorts. But right now, I'm binding his arms and legs, then I'm securing him to a tree.

"We are doing that, then no more," Shiawase says. "I at least want to see if we can. . .talk."

Does he really seem the type for it?

"Yeeeeeaaaahhhhh," Rin says slowly. "No offense, but he doesn't really seem like a talker..... to me at least...."

"I know, but. . ." Shiawase says meekly. ". . .I at least want to try. If he's an alternate version of Hitari, I know he would at least entertain the idea. . ."

Your funeral, Itami replies as he hoists Hitari up. He carefully lies his back against a nearby tree, making sure not to hit his head too hard. Just in case. I don't know why I'm not just digging a bit and chucking him in, Itami mutters to himself. That would be insanely easier, and wouldn't even kill him.

Hitari's eyebrows raise a little with surprise as the other shoves his foot away. "Oh, you've still got a bit of fight?"

"No, but like most people. . .I don't appreciate being stepped on."

Rin is worried for Shiawase now, and he's still afraid Hitari will wake up and break the ropes. But he doesn't voice his concerns. Maybe I'm just..... paranoid. That's it. I worry too much.

(evidently I pinged the wrong people lol)
