[Oops. It hit him, huh? Blue puts a steadying hand on Ren's shoulder as he sways, chuckling quietly as he watches the kid adjust to his first experience with drunkenness.]
[Sheesh, he should probably keep an eye on him for a little while, after this....]
[Luckily, he's very patient with Ren's response time. Obviously, things were... complicated. And no better is that proven than by Ren's response when it does come.]
[Blue makes a face, sort of like he's been personally attacked, but he manages to keep it mostly subtle.]
Ah.......... So it is like that, huh.
[Well then. If he knows what he's working with....... Ren had reminded him of Red, in various ways... He didn't really know Akechi like that, but if he looked at it in a certain lens- if Ren himself was telling him that he and Akechi were like that, then certain things also become clearer. Behaviors. Motivations.]
[The way Akechi scoffed, the way he responded when Blue asked about Ren (or, you know, called him his boyfriend). The denial. In a way, he could see his younger self, in that.... refusing to see what was really going on, wrapped up in all those twisted little feelings.]
[Blue leans back in his seat and hums loudly in thought.] A long time ago, I would have rather faced a whole laundry list of other problems before I'd admit I cared about Red anymore...... Ah, well. But, kids are like that, huh? It's hard to have any perspective in the moment. You get all wrapped up in what you're feeling, when you can't see any bigger picture.
[Blue stares up at the lanterns and lights strung around Wall Market, a pensive expression on his face.] Let's forget about what he might feel, at the moment. What about you?
