[torankusu]

[ This might be for the best since in his hurry to pull on his pants, he accidentally busted his zipper in the form of tearing it right out. Ah, to be so young and strong. ]

Are... are you sure you're ok and not just saying that?

[rokubro]

[...Trunks, please don't break your pants because of him it's too damn cute and you're killing everyone.

There's going to be a reassuring wave, like a mental head pat.]

I promise. [And as if trying to give more reassurance, Trunks is going to see Rokurou's face appearing through the link, his usual carefree grin. Sure there might be some bandages in the reflection sent through the crystal, but he looks very much alive and otherwise healthy and lively.] I'm a daemon—it's going to take a lot more to take me down.

[torankusu]

[ For a moment, Trunks stares at the bandages and that grin, feeling a little relieved Rokurou really is ok... that is until he wonders if Rokurou can SEE HIM and he just... sort of... quietly and quickly pulls the blanket off the bed to wrap around him. No need to see his pants ripped down the middle and all, right? Not the image of cool at all. ]

Except you won't be out trying to get taken down again, right?

[rokubro]

[Only if Trunks wants to be seen. ...And only the face as far as the usual standards go DID NOT THINK THIS THROUGH—]

I have nothing planned that I know of. And if something ever came up, I'll have to tell you, right?

[For the record, he's not counting his usual spars, fights, and hunts as "trying to get taken down."]

[torankusu]

[ Sparring and stuff of that nature is fine since Trunks himself does it so yeah, you're off the hook there, Rokurou. ]

You're darn right you will.

[ He's holding you to that promise.

But, he also comes to sit on his bed again, blanket still around him. ]

Well, if you're sure you're ok then... heh, that Gotenks probably sure showed you, huh?

[ As he quietly preens there in his bedroom. ]

[rokubro]

Yeah, about that. [Just a bit of a pointed look.] So who is this "Gotenks," anyway? He seemed to know me.

[torankusu]

[ SWEATS. ]

Uh, he's like... a hero or something? Heh!

[ Cue awkward laughing. ]

[rokubro]

Uh huh. [See this look? It's a look of not believing.]

It's kind of funny since he called me his friend or something.

[torankusu]

Welllllllllllll who wouldn't want him as a friend? He seems pretty cool to me.

[ And... he might just duck himself under the blankets... like that will hide him from Rokurou or something. ]

[rokubro]

[It's like Trunks could feel Rokurou just staring at him.]

Called me a jerk.

[torankusu]

Heh, probably because you were doing that stuff he didn't agree with.

[ Just... going to stay hidden under the blankets... yep. ]

[rokubro]

He also had some really weird attack names.

[torankusu]

[ This is where he tosses the blanket off his head and narrows his eyes. ]

What's wrong with having cool attack names?

[rokubro]

Nothing wrong with cool, but some were a weird mouthful. What was the one he suggested to me again...

[torankusu]

[ Small hands curl into the blanket around him. ]

It's probably so cool it blew your mind and you can't even remember it now!

[rokubro]

Something about...cake? Dirt?

[torankusu]

[ Hands curling TIGHTER into blanket!!! ]

THAT!! Sounds cool to me!!!

[rokubro]

[...Mmmmmmhm.]

In that case, what would you have called it?

[torankusu]

Uh... I dunno. I'm not good with coming up with names, heh. Goten is though.

[rokubro]

[Darnit. HE WAS HOPING TO TRAP HIM, but alas.]

Oh yeah? What kind of names?

[torankusu]

[ HE MAY BE A KID BUT HE'S NOT STUPID. SHAME ON YOU, ROKUROU. ]

Really weird ones, I dunno. I just let him have fun with that kinda stuff.

[rokubro]

[HE'LL TRIP UP ONE DAY.]

Okay, so the names Goten comes up with are weird, but the ones Gotenks comes up with are cool?

[torankusu]

[ NEVER!! ]

Uh... yeah.

[ Yep. Just gonna leave it at that and even smile real brightly at that. ]

[rokubro]

[Eying. Eying.

...But he will relent for now.]

Well if you ever see him, tell him next time he shouldn't run away.

[Relent on the suspicion at least. There's just one last thing he was confused about, but he won't actually press Trunks that much about it.]

[torankusu]

Heh, why's that? It'd be embarrassing when he defeats you, wouldn't it?

[ To which he comes to lay back in his bed, pulling the blanket up around him a little better. ]
