Faster!

[Tsuzuki's voice is heard calling as a Finder rolls out of camera view. The gollem finds him quickly again. He's running in a training room full of pillars. A crack of lightning is heard, making the Finder roll to the left.]

You have to move faster! Your body needs to more instantly! You can do it!

[The Finder gasps for air as he hides behind a pillar. His gollem is with him. It peaks out to see Tsuzuki, flying in the air with a glowing talisman in his hand. His hand is on his hip.]

If you can get it once today, we'll call it a day, okay?

Sounds... good... Mr. Tsuzuki...

[Tsuzuki swings his talisman sending a bolt of lightning toward the pillar. The Finder sees the light and dodges away.]

Good work, Shawn. You're done for the day.

[The feed dies on Tsuzuki, landing on the ground with a smile.]

[[ooc: One of Tsuzuki's training sessions got recorded. He's hard at work, trying to prepare our Finders in dodging! I'm back everyone! Sorry I was gone so long. Chelsea got Bronchitis at the con, so I've been checking on her all week.]]

Uh. Yes.

You've never--?

Never mind.

[He looks down. His hand hugs his arm.]

Just Muraki...

That's...

That...

REALLY doesn't count.

It doesn't...? But I don't have any other experience, unless you count dancing...

Uh. No. Doesn't count.

Oh... Well then... I guess I got nothing.

Tsuzuki... he really--?

I didn't know. [Head falls into his hands.]

That's not how it's supposed to be.

Don't worry about, Ace. It's over. I'm alright now. [He smiles tiredly at the camera. He decides to not mention he still freaks out over it sometimes.]

... Yeah.

Sure.

[Tugs his hat down thinking.]

Ace... Please don't say that.

Say what?

'Yeah... Sure.'

It sounds like you're giving up on me...

It doesn't seem like something you get over Tsuzuki.

If I said I'm not bothered by my prison stint and death would it be true? Maybe I'm not or maybe it's just buried deep.

I think it's just something you learn to live with, Ace. You know you have to move forward, so you shoulder the feelings you have and keep going. That's how I've always dealt with things. I could be wrong, but... what other way is there?

Yeah, you have to deal with it and move forward, but lying that you're fine when you feel like shit doesn't do anyone good, least of all yourself.

Well, when you're used to feeling like shit, you have to tell yourself you're fine, or you fall to pieces.

You think you'll fall to pieces?

... Knowing he's still out there, sometimes it's enough to scare me from sleeping. He exposed some of the things I wanted to leave buried. He tormented me to the point of... [He stops. This wasn't what he'd meant to say.]

Hang on I'm coming.

Ace...? [He gasped. Ace was coming to see him? Oh no! This didn't seem fair to the pirate. He felt terrible, weighting him down with his pains when he'd wanted to help him. Ace was doing fine, and he was the one burdening him. He didn't want to bring someone else down...]

[Hugs Tsuzuki before the older man can stop him and refuses to let go.]

No wonder you drink. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring up things that would-- I didn't know. [Leans his head against Tsuzuki's.] I won't let him touch you, got it?

It's not your fault, Ace. Please don't feel that way... [With Ace's charm, he knew he couldn't escape his grasp. He glanced behind him at the taller man. He shouldn't have to feel this way. It wasn't a burden he should carry... He nodded in response.] I got it...

No you don't! Stop trying to protect everyone else from how you feel and protect yourself!

[Back of his shoulders ripple flames.]

[Leaning his dark-haired head back, Tsuzuki felt the heat from Ace's back. It was comforting. He'd never been afraid of fire, especially since he'd met Suzaku. He could still remember the embrace of the Great Fire Bird the day he nearly let Mariko kill him. Suzaku had said something similar to what Ace just had. He closed his eyes, whispering...]

I don't know how to do that...

[Hugs harder.]

Then I'll protect you. And you can trust me. I'm never turning my back on you or walking away or giving up. I'll never desert you or run away. Got it?
