It was you, wasn't it?

[ wherever he can track down Eichi (before he's presumably off to go ravish Akechi), Hikage finds him and stops him. His voice isn't accusatory; it's simply matter of fact.

The moment he looked at that leg, he knew. ]

It seems as if you're the one threatening me, Hikage-kun. I was merely stating facts.

[Don't excite him with threats, he gets Weird about it and Akechi will get jealous.]

All of the pieces are now in play, and they should move according to my plan. If you worry about my death for Goro's sake, then I'm saying that you should worry for his death, as well. It's a trigger, now, and any subtle thing could set it off.

[ control your weird boner eichi ]

You're awfully arrogant for someone who almost fell down and died last week.

[ what pieces could he have in play? Hikage doesn't miss that. ]

As for Akechi, I'm confident he no longer needs my protection.

[finethanks]

[No he can't. Also... yeah he is. But anyway.]

What do you mean by that? Your protection?

[psychedelica]

If I wanted you to know the details, I would tell you them.

[ frankly, he's a little surprised Akechi didn't say anything... but he's pleased about it, too. ]

He can take care of himself. He has his own strength.

[finethanks]

[He narrows his eyes a little.]

...I intend to protect him, and it has nothing to do with his strength. I'm well aware of it.

It's everyone else that I worry for.

[So.]
