[hello atsushi!! buzen is wandering around the abandoned terrible kitchen in the manor, but he's uhhh got a bruise on his face today that wasn't there yesterday

that's fine]

Oh - Atsu-san! Hello. Did you get any rest?

[moonlightbeast]

[Atsushi looks tired as he's standing there contemplating a cup of water. It's horrible and doesn't actually make him feel less thirsty, but logically he knows he needs to drink water to stay alive. What a mess.]

Not so much. What about you- what happened to your face?!

[His voice ticks up an octave or two when he finally looks up and sees that bruise.]

[hasteful]

I got punched.

[casually]

But I think I'm supposed to... uh, do something to help it, right? I just don't know what - maybe running water?

[he's never had a bruise in his fucking life]

[moonlightbeast]

By who?

[Who did you piss off omg

Atsushi is going to help though, he just assumes Buzen is a prissy boy who doesn't fight much and can't treat bruises. He's already turning on he slightly less shitty water and getting a scrap of cloth wet.]

Here, put this on it.

[hasteful]

[a prissy boy who doesn't fight much has me shaking

anyway, he'll do as instructed!!]

Um... I didn't get his name! He just tackled me and then I guess we were sparring.

[moonlightbeast]

[A cold cloth might not work as well as ice, but it's what they have right now.]

What did he look like?

[hasteful]

Hmm...

[with his free hand he'll just gesture two really big spikes coming out of his head]

Something like this! His hair was very striking.

[moonlightbeast]

[Oh. Oh he instantly gets that.]

Oh him. Just ignore him, he's a bully.

[hasteful]

[oh! immediately at attention - ]

Did he bully you? Should I go hit him again?

[moonlightbeast]

He did, but you don't need to hit him for me. I handled it just fine.

[He walked away before getting hit lmao]

[hasteful]

Really? That's impressive! I didn't take you as a fighter, Atsu-san.

[moonlightbeast]

[Welp.]

I didn't fight him, I just walked away.

[hasteful]

Oh!

A strategic retreat is a good option too.

[moonlightbeast]

Yeah, it's not too hard to ignore someone like that. Just avoid him, and he won't punch you again.

[hasteful]

... I don't know about that...

But honestly I'd rather keep an eye on him more than anything, you know?

[moonlightbeast]

In case he causes trouble?

[hasteful]

Sure, and he might need help getting out of it too.

[moonlightbeast]

You want to help someone who gave you trouble?

[hasteful]

[he laughs]

A little scuffling isn't enough to get on my bad side.

[moonlightbeast]

[Atsushi does not comment.

A little scuffling did get Garou on his bad side, he's a petty binch.]

[hasteful]

[he's just laughing because he can guess at the silence]

—my tolerance is a little bit different from other people's though.

You should do what keeps you safe and happy. No one can blame you for that.

[moonlightbeast]

I just don't like people who abuse their power. That's all.

[hasteful]

[nodding along]

I think that's a reasonable thing to not enjoy. Standing up against bullies and tyrants, right?

[moonlightbeast]

Something like that, yeah.

Though I'm not so great at the 'standing up' part most of the time.

[hasteful]

No...?

[he tilts his head]

How come?
