[Giriko's not really sure what to make of this, but he's listening. He groans a little at Birkin's next words, though]

Are you fuckin... why do you even care about that? Do you know what'd happen if I tried to take Kid from Noah? He'd fuckin' kill me, that's what. Why would I do that?

[notahandbag.livejournal.com]

I don't care, not really... Everyone just thinks I'm responsible for it. He was taken right after I showed up, after all. And I'm friends with you. It doesn't look good on me. Even Stein's starting to believe I had a hand in Kid's disappearance. And I-I'm just... Really scared someone's going to really try and hurt me... [Slight sob, he doesn't want to overdo it yet. Though at least Giriko hasn't hung up on him, that's probably a good sign.]

B-but it's unfair for me to ask you to risk your life for mine, isn't it? I'm sorry, I really shouldn't have called in the first place. I'm just being selfish, I guess.

[Giriko scowls] If your stupid boyfriend is so much of a fuckin' idiot, then tell him to fuck off. You have other places to go, back to your own world. Or fuck, come here. I don't give a shit.

[He grimaces] Look, what do ya want me to do? Stein already asked me to rescue Kid. He put you up to this, didn't he?

[notahandbag.livejournal.com]

[Birkin mouths "fuck" a few times for good measure. Ugh why didn't Stein just get him to do this originally? ...And then he gets back to work.]

...I didn't even know the two of you talked... What the hell else have you both talked about?!

[seechainsaw.livejournal.com]

[Okay, that surprises Giriko and he pauses for a moment in confusion. He thought he'd figured it all out - Stein puts Birkin up to all of this, making Birkin try to pretend to be his friend, making nice at the Christmas party, the whole thing. Then he tries to get Giriko to risk his life for his new friends.

But that's apparently not the situation, and now Giriko's confused again.]

Nothin'. Fuck, we've barely ever talked to each other.

[notahandbag.livejournal.com]

Don't lie to me! [He winces at how loud his voice got that time and he can't help but wonder if anyone else can hear him and is wondering what in the blue hell he's doing. Birkin clears his throat softly, letting out a shuddering breath.] I'm sorry, I'm really not meaning to take this out on you...

I just... I just want Kid to get back home so maybe then people will shut up about what a horrible person they think I am. And maybe they're right, but... I, I don't know.

[Giriko scowls as Birkin snaps into the phone, but relaxes a little when Birkin begins to apologize]

Look. [He pauses, scratching the back of his neck] Even if I cared that much about your problems, it's not so simple. I can't just pick him up and bring him back to you. Noah isn't gonna let him go easy, and then what am I supposed to do? I got nowhere else to go.

[notahandbag.livejournal.com]

[Birkin keeps himself quiet for a long time, hopefully sounding like he was thinking and not like he was about ready to scream with joy.]

You... You could come here?

[seechainsaw.livejournal.com]

[Giriko's silent for a few minutes. Inwardly he's conflicted. He doesn't give a shit about Noah, but his revenge is no less important to him.

What if he could do this? Get Kid back, get in with the Shibusen people, and then stab them in the back when the time was right?

Now that the idea has occurred to him, it's looking more and more like a good idea. Better than sitting around.]

You sayin' they'd really, what, let me work for them at Shibusen?

[He's skeptical of that. There's no point in helping if they'll just lock him up or pat him on the head and send him on his way]

You said they're treatin' you bad.

[notahandbag.livejournal.com]

Maybe... I'm sure I could convince Stein to pull some strings for you if you wanted. [Birkin was starting to get confident in his 'convincing people to do things' skills thanks to Giriko. Besides, they actually would owe Giriko after this.]

And they'd probably respect you more than me. You have fighting experience and are a weapon, while I'm... Not. Hell, in this world, I technically never even existed let alone have a college degree or anything. I'm just an easy target, that's all.

[seechainsaw.livejournal.com]

[He nods to himself. This is all probably bullshit, but he's intrigued]

Okay, you talk to your boyfriend and tell 'im maybe I'll rescue his little student if he guarantees it'll get me a job at Shibusen.

Maybe we can be friends now. You tell him that. Then you call me later and tell me what he says.

[notahandbag.livejournal.com]

You got it. I'm sure I'll be able to call back with good news. [Though no matter what Stein ends up saying, he's calling back with good news.]

Talk to you then! [*click*]
