[This time around, all Tsuzuki recorded was his slurred voice.]

What do you mix -- get if you mix vodka, liquor and raspberry juice?

[A long pause. There''s a clink of the glass. Consider how full of suck the world has been lately, it's a great day for drinking.]

Tatsumi's gone. His things were gone when I checked. There's not a lot of people left now.

So it's time to drink to them.

I din't think so.

[neverplaysfair]

In a way. But only Hisoka himself can tell you if that matters.

[idealism]

He won'. He's too proud.

[neverplaysfair]

Then he'll suffer for his pride. Unless you'd rather I find out for you, but I somehow doubt he'd appreciate that.

Thanks, but I don' need him to have anodder reason to -to lose co'fidence in me.

[He takes another sip of his drink, and for the first time that night he begins to realize he's had enough.]

I guess ders nothin' I can do.

[ He'd had enough the moment he got drunk enough to think inviting Joshua over was not going to end poorly for all his secrets. ]

Not if he won't tell you anything. It might seem strange to Hisoka who has never needed to ask, but if he has problems with you they won't get addressed unless he tells you. And if he does tell you, you need to respect them.
