No, he isn't.

[ Rean didn't even elaborate further here. Maybe he liked Dazai playing a little guessing game from time to time. ]

I teach history, mostly, and how to have my students take on real-life situations independently when needed.

[deadlygoals]

[ Does he really want Dazai to play guessing? He'll curl a hand under his chin for a moment as he thinks about it. ]

He's a benefactor of the school and may have worked along side you on missions.

[ How close is he? ]

I could see history. Do you help out with combat training as well?

[reanbeans]

[ Rean actually didn't mind, so... ]

You're awfully good at figuring this out without knowing much about him.

[ So, close enough. ]

In a way, yes. They already know how to fight, but if there's anything lacking in their form, I wouldn't keep from pointing it out.

There's already an Instructor for that, though.

[deadlygoals]

There's enough on his profile to get a pretty good picture.

[ That and his whole everything from earlier. ]

It's a military academy then?

[ From combat training, war, and mecha skills... it sounds like it's an interesting school at least. Tipping the bottle towards Rean to see if he'll take another drink. ]

[reanbeans]

Haha, I suppose that's true.

[ And then he freaking slipped, so he would've had to take a drink anyway, which he did, gulping it down. That flush was sure more prominent on his cheeks.

But, it felt kind of relaxing, and it'd been awhile since Rean had felt so comfortable. Plus, after what had happened with Hyobu, maybe he needed this. ]

It is. It's a place called Thors' Branch military academy, which is located in Leeves, Heimdallr.

[deadlygoals]

[ Those eyebrows are just going to betray them. He reaches up to put both hands on Rean's cheek. Using his thumbs to push up on those eyebrows if Rean doesn't pull away. What is personal boundaries? We don't even know.

He doesn't take the bottle back, partially to see if Rean keeps holding it, will he take a drink on his own, and partially because he's sure he'll slip again. Dropping his hands away as he leans back. ]

Are the mechas the giant robot kind of mechas?

[ Is this a fundam anime situation? ]

[reanbeans]

[ Normally Rean would actually kind of mind, but he's ... pretty inebriated by now? Also a lightweight, so. Yeah, he didn't even slap those hands as well.

Rean didn't take another sip though since he already had a moment ago, but he's not handing the bottle back just yet. ]

...Yeah, definitely something like that.

[deadlygoals]

[ Wow, so he can do whatever he wants? Curling a hand under his own chin as he thinks about it. ]

Don't tell the Lady that. Bet she would love to get a hold of that tech.

[ They don't need her inventing knock off gundams. ]

What's something you haven't told anyone?

[reanbeans]

[ Try anything funny and he'll reflexively suplex you without even realizing himself what happened, Dazai. ]

My lips are sealed.

[ Rean had no intention of telling her diddly squat, but also. Yeah. ]

...Anyone here, you mean?

[deadlygoals]

[ He probably deserves to be suplexed even without trying anything funny. Giving him a head pat. Good boy. ]

Yeah, we'll go with that. Something you haven't told anyone here.

[reanbeans]

[ And now he's getting a head pat.

Rean will forget the question for a moment, as he seemed to really look at Dazai. Like, actually look at him. The last one who gave him one was... well.

There's a sadness in his eyes, before it faded away. ]

You remind me a little bit of a friend I once knew.

[deadlygoals]

[ Maybe if Rean wasn't buzzed, he would notice there's a pause and a slight shift in expression on Dazai's face. It's a complex expression that's gone immediately. ]

The friend you would do anything to get back?

[reanbeans]

[ Actually...

He'll notice the slight shift, thanks to training because even in his addled mind, his attention to detail was extremely canny. Though, thanks to his current state, he didn't know what to make of it, and it's 50/50 whether he'll remember later. ]

Almost anything.

[ He'll say softly, because boy. He wanted 'that friend' back more than anything, but at the same time, he'd want it under his own conditions. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ Dazai doesn't know how this feeling yet, but... he can guess. And that's the part that is surprising to him. ]

Almost anything. You wouldn't kill for it though.

[ He might be the only person there who wouldn't ]

[reanbeans]

Not for that, no.

[ What would they do to 'that person' if they gave him to Rean? Would he be himself? Would he be safe?

He couldn't trust them enough for that. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ He could have already been there and... not survived. But this is before that bit of information is out. ]

They must be really important to you. I'm a little envious~

[reanbeans]

[ Rean would be considering that information much later with a lot of despair. But that time wasn't now. ]

I don't think there's much to be envious of.

[ He'll smile slightly. ]

After all, we're spending time together right now. So even in a situation like this, I'd think that'd mean something.

[deadlygoals]

I'm envious that you can be honest about it.

[ He'll let him have that much. Rean might not remember this conversation later. ]

You're right though. We are spending this time. Maybe I should make the most of it?

[reanbeans]

There's nothing wrong with being honest about how you feel towards your friends or family, but...I think I can understand.

[ Even when he was like this, Rean couldn't help but think of the other person's side.

Though, at the other's words, Rean's smile became more warm. ]

Yes, you should. Maybe you should also have another sip? Since we're supposed to be sharing, haha.

[deadlygoals]

[ He's not sure if he can understand, but he'll take the bottle to give it a drink instead of responding. ]

Better?

[ It'll take much more to get him on Rean's level of buzzed though. ]

Is there anyone you're hoping to get close to here?

[reanbeans]

It is.

[ It's a nice buzz. At least he wasn't just utterly piss drunk, though. That'd just be embarrassing.

At the question he thought a little more. ]

...It'd be nicer, if I was able to get closer to Pizza, Lysithea, Iago, Ango, Erik, and...you. I want to know so much more about you, Dazai.

[ He liked talking to the man, and he hoped by talking to him, he'd learn more about him. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ That gets a pause again. It's weird and for a moment he almost feels guilty about getting him buzzed and asking personal stuff. ]

I'm pretty boring to get to know. Has Pizza pulled a prank on you yet?

[reanbeans]

[ :> ]

I doubt that.

[ Rean will say that with such a strong conviction, that it's clear he didn't doubt it at all. ]

...Technically, no. Since I caught him in the middle of trying to pull one on everyone else, and put a stop to it.

Did he get you?

[deadlygoals]

[ He's not going to argue. ]

He swapped the sugar and salt. I decided to dump a whole bunch of salt into my coffee anyways. Downed it all right in front of him.

[reanbeans]

[ .......Dear Aidios. ]

You what? Are you—were you okay after that?
