[detective conan] hakuba saguru

(no subject)

[Once again, there's a disgruntled, bloodied Hakuba with bloody holes in his clothing grumping downstairs in the Inn.]

[Oh, he's got spare clothes that aren't mauled, he's just not going to worry about them at the moment.]

[If anyone saw him last time, it looks like his impalement this time was even MORE excessive.]

[Stupid Pyramid Head. Stupid angel.]

Conan. [He's very pointedly looking Conan in the eye on this.] If they were able to come and go as they please, then they wouldn't have left until they'd claimed everyone they could here, correct?

And the Island has already trapped and kept things that should've been far beyond any power doing so to them; Bernkastel, Lambda, Neuro, one of the Fates, and a few other beings here. If the forces at work here can keep them in, it stands to reason they can keep something else out. I don't think they "came back", I think they were allowed in briefly, to scare us.

...all the more reason to be worried about them. [B-because who knows when the Island might let them in again.]

Another thing to keep in mind.

They're no more powerful than any other threat here - if they were, I wouldn't have been brought back.

At least for that method of killing.

I'm going to ask you a question, Conan. When they were here before -

Did they kill anyone the other way?

....

[Trauma face. So much...traumaface.]

Conan, they're gone. They've been locked out again, and somehow, I doubt they could get in here past Belldandy anyway.

...

[L-looking down.] They might...they eat time, she is time...who knows what would happen...

Especially when they get into your head...

Conan. Listen to me. They are -not here-. Even if it got inside your head once, it's not here now. Do you understand?

...I know...I know it's not...

But...

[Clenches his fists.] Imagine, if you will, Hakuba...imagine being where I am in the world...my head is the only place that's SAFE...

Do you...can you even imagine what it's like...to have something take that away...?

If Belldandy hadn't saved us when we did, Hyobu was about to do that to me - and yes, that was about the most frightening thing I've had threatened on me here, to lose everything I've been working on or even be turned against someone I care about that casually.

[He has a small, grumpy moment.]

You know that stupid event where you were trying to jump me was another case of something tampering with the way your mind works. [Yes. He did just equate the Angel to the Moe Note.]

It's not just tampering with how your mind works...that's horrifying, but this...

This wasn't about control...

[There's a pause....and you are being picked up. And he is going to be finding someplace out of the way, probably going right back to the attic. Carrying you.]

.... [This is how bad it is. He's not struggling.]

[He's going to be sitting down in one of the far corners of the attic, where it's fairly closed in on all sides, and not actually letting go or putting you down - because he figures at this point, you probably need it.]

[....he will never admit it, but yeah. He kind of does. Contact is good sometimes!]

[He's staying put and very pointedly staying in a relatively secure, closed-in corner until you at least seem to have... untensed a bit.]

[It'll take a short while. Just...fjoijwoiewjiew so much bad.]

[He's being patient, and very protectively grumpy.]

[Protectively grumpy because he's all trauma'd and vulnerable?]

[Pretty much, yes. Saguru kind of has the protective streak ten miles wide.]

[True. And who wouldn't want to be protective of someone as adorable looking as Conan?]

[...even if it is Shinichi.]

[........True, granted, keep in mind Saguru went protective over BERNKASTEL during the white-water rafting.]

[It just helps that Shinichi's actually a friend of his.]

[A lot.]

[This is true, but that was before the shanking.]

[True. Weird how that works out.]

....sorry. It...was all kind of stressful. [And what is dealing with emotions.]

It's alright. The last few months have been incredibly chaotic, and there hasn't exactly been much time to settle down and breathe in between things going wrong. [You're probably going to have to do something to let him know when you've recovered enough for dignity to override the keysmash.]
