Uh... [Did he want to talk about it? Not... Really? But Yukio was offering to listen, and they hadn't ever had the best track record of standing on solid ground and seeing eye to eye, so he was going to talk about it anyway.]

Mostly I'm just... Worried, I guess. I feel like... Well. It feels like when I lost control that one time, only this time I'm not... Sure who I hurt. I mean, obviously I hurt them, but I'm not even sure how bad it was.

[emptyembers]

[Every now and then he'd take quick glances at Rin, his frown deepening. Whatever happened--whatever Rin had done--had to have been bad enough for Rin not to remember. Whatever he had gotten involved in, whatever Yukio had gotten dragged into...

Yukio clenched his hands into a tight fist before he relaxed it again. He exhaled, not realizing he had been holding his breath.]

You haven't lost control like that for a long time, and I doubt you would have lost it enough to hurt someone--seriously hurt them--without reason.

[cyancinders]

Yeah... I guess you're right.

[He huffs out a slow breath, letting his eyes roam across the petals of the wisteria before he's glancing back at Yukio again. He's still serious when he continues, and it's clear he's been trying to find a way to broach the topic for a bit now.] I can't... Use my flames, either. I've tried.

[Out of all the things that he had been expecting Rin to say to him, this had not been one of them. His eyes widen, turning to fully address Rin now and not simply stare out into the courtyard and disassociate.]

You what?

[Well, is that really a bad thing? Rin's flames have done nothing but get him in trouble half the time, and the other half it's been uncontrollable and put not only him in danger but everyone else around him.

Rin has has gotten better at controlling it, though.

Yukio could somehow feel the headache getting worse.]

Is it gone? Completely?

[cyancinders]

From what I can tell, seems like it. [He’s avoiding eye contact now, as somehow the topic makes him feel a bit self conscious. His flames are really all he has when it comes to combat mastery, and not having access to them is... Worrying to say the least.

Not to mention it comes with the fear that Yukio might decide Rin is more of a liability than an asset and shut him out of the partnership completely.]

I don’t know if it’s because of the... Guns? You used on me before? But they did make me super weak back then and this sorta feels like it just never really came back. [He curls and uncurls his fists a few times, watching the tendons shift,] Sucks ass, honestly. My whole body feels heavy. Like I’m half asleep.

[The effects of the black flame shouldn't have lasted this long. At the very least, it hadn't lasted this long before. Rin's flames had come back, hadn't they? Why were they just gone now?

Perhaps it's a confidence thing, like how he couldn't pull the sword out until he had more confidence in himself...

But that made little sense. The flames were a part of him, naturally occurring within him, it should have nothing to do with his confidence.

But if it's mixed with the black flames, then perhaps...]

It could be a prolonged side effect, they'll probably come back soon.

[He sounded a lot more confident than he actually felt, but Rin needed reassurance now, not insecurities.]
