No... If someone did something wrong, then people should know the right person to be mad at. I don't really care for situations where the wrong people are blamed, or people get away from the consequences of their actions.
... I just think that if I disappointed someone, it makes sense if they're not happy with me. I don't want them to feel bad about that.
[ . . . . hmmm. he frowns, getting a vague sense of what rang is suggesting here.]
... Matsu's different from me. I won't get in the way if it's a consequence for Matsu's actions, but he's way smarter than I am. He's more honest than I am, too. I think that's just not as fair...
[rang accepts the chopsticks and relishes in the temporary feeling of asian seniority even though buzen is older than him,]
That's right -- you didn't get an annoying memory of him. He's my half-brother actually, a pure-blooded fox. He was the guardian of the mountain we lived on -- a spirit who protected humans and spirits alike.
He's the one who gave me my name. Rang. It means bright.

[he'd say it derisively if this was a few weeks ago, but not now, not when he doesn't hate it.]
Would you rather be the only person they're mad at? If Kaveh said the same thing to Matsui that he said to you, then would you have accepted that?

no subject
That's what I thought too, when you said Kaveh blamed you and Matsui. Maybe you two do deserve it, but not in a way that's fair to you.
no subject
... maybe it's too sweeping, to talk about what's fair or unfair around here.
no subject
That's your way of saying 'I won't change my mind, so drop it', isn't it?
[he's smirking as he says it though]
no subject
You don't have to drop it.
[but
he's not changing his mind,]
no subject
If I don't, then it'll sound like I'm nagging.
[it already kind of does rang?]
I wonder who's more stubborn... You or Nahida?
no subject
If you give a good enough argument, I think you can convince Nahi-chan into most stuff.
[buzen you can give a good argument but emotionally if he's not vibing with it, he might still elect to not budge even if he admits you're right]
no subject
[does that mean buzen wouldn't call rang oppa if he asked]
no subject
I can think someone is right factually but still have feelings about it that go the other way.
I think that's true for a lot of people.
no subject
For me, I can think someone is right factually, but I don't want to admit it because I spent so much time trying to make you see things my way.
[that's called sulking]
no subject
That's called being a brat.
[hE JUST SAYS IT]
no subject
Maybe I'm trying to beat you and Nahida at being stubborn.
[the sushi arrives.... im so hungry]
My brother would probably agree with you though.
no subject
I don't know much about your brother.
no subject
That's right -- you didn't get an annoying memory of him. He's my half-brother actually, a pure-blooded fox. He was the guardian of the mountain we lived on -- a spirit who protected humans and spirits alike.
He's the one who gave me my name. Rang. It means bright.
no subject
[he teases.... bright rang..... kawaii ne]
You're pretty different from him, though?
no subject
Are you saying that because I don't protect humans? [hehe] You're right though. We're very different.
[picks up a sushi roll with his chopsticks]
I would have never abandoned him like he did me, or tried to kill him just to get my loved one back.
[immediately attempts to feed buzen as if to ward off any questions]
no subject
but his expression wrinkles a little bit at that....]
... sounds complicated.
You must be mad at him.
no subject
Enough to hold a grudge against him for six hundred years. He's tired of being reminded of it every time.
no subject
[to say the least,]
It's hard for me to imagine being mad at someone for 600 years...
[as if buzen is typically mad at all,]
no subject
rang stares at him]
What's the longest you've ever been angry for?
no subject
no subject
Or half a minute.
Or seconds.
no subject
[if he's being honest]
... but I don't know. Some things even I have trouble accepting, even though I try not to be outright mad about it.
