"I know you will. I trust you to."

Oh god yeah he remembers part of the reason why he hates having dinner with these two is that their idea for table conversation is work. And they're insufferable.

Still, Tōkan can play along, for now, and Ren-san's food is actually delicious, so even as he plays the role of a dutiful remorseful prodigal son he can take solace in that.

They can almost forget Tōkan is there, which if he's not going to say useful things about the topics that come up is the next best thing. But after they're done with their food Tochima will, in fact, go to his study with Tōkan to talk about whatever it is.

"So?"

"You know... the whole thing. With Inori. That's been happening."

"...your omega. Yes, he's been detained by the police, hasn't he? I knew he wasn't good for you."

Permalink

"He's not 'my omega'. We haven't paired or anything."

Permalink

"A modicum of sensibility, I'm impressed."

"...Father, can you not be like that, I'm trying to..."

"You're right. Apologies, son. You were saying?"

He has this guy eating from the palm of his hand, it's great.

"Anyway, yeah, uh... I didn't really... I mean, it was a surprise."

Permalink

"I don't know how. We've conversed twice over less than five mintues and I could have seen this coming, especially given the other rumours I've heard about him."

Permalink

"Rumours?"

Permalink

"You cannot be seriously unaware of them."

Permalink

"No, I mean, I know about lots of them, I just... was wondering which you were referring to, is all."

Permalink

"Isn't that a problem, itself?"

Permalink

"I guess..."

Permalink

"He goes after alphas and betas and attacks them like a rabid dog, just for being themselves, and he dares to call it justice."

Permalink

"Well, I mean, um... I, I mean, I guess it's hard, and he..."

Permalink

"So maybe this will teach him a lesson. This is what justice looks like."

Permalink

"Father, I...

"...can you check your email?"

Permalink

 

 

 

"What?"

Permalink

"Just, there's something I sent you that I think you should see."

Permalink

That's a misstep in their dance and he's suspicious again. He grabs his phone and goes into his email app...

...reads...

................reads..............

..............................looks up at Tōkan. "What. Is the meaning of this."

Permalink

"Well, you see... this is what justice looks like. You go after people weaker than you, just for defending themselves, because you're a bully. You hide behind other people, so they'll take the fall for you, and you stand on your pedestal thinking you're untouchable.

"You're not untouchable, father, and Ōta Makino eats men like you for breakfast."

Kokonoe Tochima is, quite literally, speechless.
