Fuda #41 [action/video]

[It had been a pretty sucky week. Tsuzuki doesn't want to show Hisoka the letters Yuri left for them when she was sent home. He suspects his partner is taking her disappearance hard enough as it is. But what is he supposed to do?]

[The answer is to pretend there's no problem. He taps his pen on the paper as he thinks, turning to the journal eventually.]

Out of curiosity, if you could only choose one word to describe your best friend, what would it be?

Comments

[voice]

[ofwesternwinds]

... Yeah. They really are.

[It isn't a word without any weight to it. The friendships Rudy does have, he never takes them for granted. Even in a place like this, where people come and go all the time.]

You mean from home? Um... Just two. Why do you ask?

[voice]

[idealism]

Yeah, from home. I figure that if you know no one from home, this place can get a little lonely.

[voice]

[ofwesternwinds]

Ah... yeah.

I'm glad they're here. [Slight pause] There's a lot of good people here too.

[voice]

[idealism]

Yes, there is. I'm glad that they're here, too.

Have you gotten a lot of friends here?

[voice]

[ofwesternwinds]

... depends on what you mean by a lot. I like the people I've met so far, and I like to think they're good friends...

[Whether or not they think the same of him, he doesn't really know for sure. There's a brief, awkward pause before he suddenly adds in:]

Does it really matter if we have a lot of friends?

[voice]

[idealism]

I don't know. Having some good friend makes life easier.

[voice]

[ofwesternwinds]

Yeah. Whether it's a lot or just one person...

I think it's better just having someone there when you need them. [Another pause.] I mean, that versus having no one at all... I'd take having one or two good friends.
