[ RING RING ]

[voice]

[keepcalmandbomb]

[ he'll let it ring three times before picking up. ]

Hello. It's Katsura.

[voice]

[eyeforaneye]

It's Uchiha Sasuke. [ And he pauses. Like he's waiting for something. ]

[voice]

[keepcalmandbomb]

[ there's a long pause in return, as Katsura tries to remember why this name is supposed to be familiar to him. ]

[ ah, right, it's a kid of his friends', isn't it? ]

Ah, Sasuke-kun!

[ wonder what he wants ]

Worry not. Of course you can call me Uncle Katsura.

[voice]

[eyeforaneye]

... What.

No. I don't want to call you that even a little bit.

[voice]

[keepcalmandbomb]

[ a small pause. katsura uses it to blink confusedly at the nearest wall ]

I see. Aunt Bettie will be most heartbroken. What do you want, then?

[voice]

[eyeforaneye]

To ask you about any potential involvement you might have had or currently have with Takasugi Shinsuke or Tatsuma Sakamoto.

[voice]

[keepcalmandbomb]

[ well. this is awkward. on one hand, they're the kid's parents. on another, he definitely wouldn't like one of them telling some stranger all about him. you never really know who works for the police, but again, he supposes, if anyone wanted any of them behind the bars they wouldn't need to look for extra dirt to put them there. ]

[ might start with careful, at any rate. ]

We fought in the war together. It made us as tight as brothers, at the time.

Why the sudden interest in your folks, if I may ask?

[voice]

[eyeforaneye]

I always have a desire to investigate potential threats, and I'm required to sleep near these people. Anyone should be concerned when it's laid out like that.

I take it that you've all gone your separate ways.

[voice]

[keepcalmandbomb]

Hmm. I can understand that.

[ it did take a good while for him to start sleeping at his own home, too. thank gods for Gintoki's carpet ]

In a way, yes. We're still mostly on good terms, though.

[ except Takasugi ]

[voice]

[eyeforaneye]

[ "Good terms". Yeah, no, he doesn't believe you. ]

You're including Tatsuma and Takasugi in that? Even their relationship with each other? I've seen other signs.

[voice]

[keepcalmandbomb]

And Gintoki. There were four of us.

[ wow Sasuke why won't you let him live happily in his own little delusion? ]

...ah, you could say that Takasugi was never really a team person...

[ he did insist he hasn't changed, after all, and Zura kind of hated him back then, too, but they were comrades. Now he can't say that anymore. ]
