[ Hikage... is tired. And it's not even mostly because of the trial, to be honest - although that didn't help matters. Belph is marginally easier to talk to than Steph, on account of not being a pretty girl (something about her that only makes her more confusing to Hikage), so he finds himself at Belph's doorstep after the trial.

In fact, he probably loiters around outside for a good minute or two, deciding if he should actually knock or not. Hopefully, no one passes by and sees him looking sketchy. But, eventually, he does knock. ]

Belph. It's me.

Not for you?

[he shrugs.]

... Well, it's complicated. There's maybe one person I wouldn't mind bringing back, but then I'd have to make more wishes to sort out the ensuing mess.

[though that's just about all he'll say on that.]

... Would you go through all of this to bring them back?

[ the question feels a little heavy; he's uneasy again. He doesn't know if he wants to come back at all. ]

Depends on what you mean. Would I kill someone for it? Nah.

[irina would never want that, anyway.]

But since it's not like I have a choice but to be here... well, I'm already putting in the effort to survive this.

[ he regards Belph for a few seconds; then, he sighs, sitting back on the bench. ]

You're weird. I really don't get you.

What's so weird about me?

You're lazy. You seem like you don't care about anything, even yourself. I thought you'd be easy to talk to because of that. But every once in a while, you say something that makes it sound like you have some sort of morality - like you'd work for somtehing.

[... he smiles, though there's a bit of a grimness to it.]

You sure it's not just your imagination?

I'm good at reading people.

[when you make that fucking face that comes off as really ominous, hikage...]

Well, I won't deny that.
