[Yu liked the beach: it was warmer here then the beach he would go to with his friends, and the fishing was AMAZING. It was a nice way to calm his mind from everything that happened.

Such was his intent, tackle in hand... when he saw Adachi-san. He frowned, starting to turn around- only to see the older man was picking at the gem on his head. That... wasn't smart]

If you keep that up it'll get infected.

[foolreversed]

[Adachi's been hanging out on the beach for most of the day, honestly. Even with the urge to never stray far from the temple, he was still found that desire within him to pace around, get some fresh air, loiter somewhere else for a bit. Maybe it was just habit born from patrol work, or a bias against confined spaces after spending months in a jail cell (which he didn't mind honestly but that wander itch still comes and goes when you know you're free to come and go as you please).

When Yu finds him, he's sitting on the sand with his legs stretched out, jacket gone and sleeves pushed up past his elbows, and well. Yes, picking at his gem again, alternating between taping it with his fingernail and rubbing the edges where skin met rock.]

Huh? [He turns in Yu's direction and blinks a few times, surprised to see him there and that he's talking to him at, before pulling his own pouty frown dismissively waving Yu off.] O-Oh.

It's fine, it's fine, don't be such a worrywart. They only warned me about cracking it.

[myriades]

Hm... but it looks like it could pop right out. I wouldn't risk it.

[That said he continues on his course, sitting down near by, and getting his tackle out. It was still...strange, being around Adachi now. After everything. But he had decided that he wasn't going to alter his life around his former friend.]

[freezes mid tap]

...

[...]

Pop out...?

[foolreversed]

D-Don't be stupid! It's not gonna pop out!!

[myriades]

[He gives a slight hum of acknowledgment- with just a hint of amusement]

I can feel mine move every time I swallow. It's...weird.

[Time to bait the hook! He reaches in the tacklebox, grabbing a plastic tupperware box...]

[foolreversed]

[HRRRRRRRRGHHHHH...]

Well yeah, because it's right on your throat, dumbass.

[FOLDING HIS ARMS AND HUFFING GRUMPILY]

Mine's not popping out. It's fused right on there. They told me so!

[myriades]

It's kinda a big target, huh?

[He debates between a lady bug or some leftovers- deciding on the leftovers. He sticks the ball of bread on the hook and casts]

[foolreversed]

Yours is too.

[are you trying to give him more hang ups than he already has about this damn thing's placement or what, goddamnit Yu]

[myriades]

They're kinda cool though. Have you managed to summon a weapon yet?

[He can't help teasing a little- almost in the way he would with Yosuke. It's easy to forget what he knows now, and Yu bites his lip. He has to stop that. He can't just pretend things haven't changed completely]

[foolreversed]

[Frowning again, but more disappointed than annoyed.]

What do you think I've been trying to do out here?

[So... no.]

[myriades]

Hm. So you plan on getting involved?

[And like that Yu's tone is serious.]

[foolreversed]

Well, it's not like I really have a choice, right?

And I'll take it over dealing with someone like Sho-kun again. [god what a handful that was]

[myriades]

Don't you? I mean, they can't force us to fight.

[His eyes gleam, and he watches Adachi carefully. As if expecting something]

[foolreversed]

[he shrugs]

And then what? Just sit around doing nothing?

I mean, don't get me wrong I'd rather be back in jail but I'm here anyway so...

[myriades]

The universe doesn't seem to want to let you do your time, does it? Dojima-san will be mad.

[foolreversed]

[DEEP SIGH gosh you had to mention the D word]

Well, what he doesn't know can't hurt him, haha...

Looks like it doesn't seem to want to leave you alone either, though.

[myriades]

[He sighs, reeling in a little]

Seems not. I'm supposed to be hitting the cram books right now.

[foolreversed]

[oh god. cramming. he sure knows that well.]

Oh boy, that time already huh? Wow, that sort of stuff takes me back.

[to easier, simpler times when that was all he needed to feel pleased with himself]

I think in your case then this is much better though.

[myriades]

[ he makes a small non-commital noise]

I don't mind studying... I don't have much to do back in the city.

[foolreversed]

You had more to do back in that town, huh? Man, ain't that ironic.

[stretching his arms, before resting back on them and looking out at the ocean]

This place is nice though.

[Inaba could have been too if you had just given it a chance, Adachi]

[myriades]

Inaba is nice too.

[Lawl]

Though it IS warmer here.

[foolreversed]

Inaba doesn't have a beach.

[IGNORING ANY POSSIBILITY THAT INABA IS NICE AND HE WAS WRONG TO HATE IT SO MUCH!!]

Warmer and nicer.

[myriades]

[Yu chuckles]

Whatever you say, Adachi-san.

[He says nothing else for awhile, as Yu tended to do. Just watching his bobber... before jerking the rod, reeling in in a rush- and hauling a small fish out of the water.]

I think all the people around have scared off all the fish.

[foolreversed]

[back to tapping on his gem. come onnnnnnn, he wants a weapon already B<]

You sure it's the people that scared them off and not all the stuff that happens around here?
