[By this point, Riku's figured out that he's being somehow compelled to tell the truth.

And that is not cool.

Riku's a kid that has to be in control at all times. And not being in control of what he's saying? -Bothers him.- He doesn't like it; he doesn't know what people are going to ask. He's got an image to maintain! He doesn't want to risk people cracking that.

So Riku is hurrying up to grab something for breakfast before disappearing for the day--he's not going to let this trip up his plans, but he's not planning on talking to anyone until he knows that this affliction has gone away.

Oh, how the universe loves irony.]

She wanted to learn. And it's a good idea for her to be able to defend herself. I might not always be around.

[standardpackage.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's safe enough here. Should be a problem fer her ta' stay alive.

[What. The hell. Jinx really wants to stay quiet so in goes the rest of that bagel.]

[oathbreakers]

[Well, -that- was unexpected. Riku looks over at Jinx in surprise.]

What makes you say that? You know something I don't?

[standardpackage.livejournal.com]

[His mouth is full of bagel, give him a moment. He pops open the beer and washes that painful lump down.]

Yah. I mean n-yah.

[oathbreakers]

[Oh, Riku -knows- now, Jinx. And as he asks his next question, he's going to stare you down now 'k.]

Why.

[standardpackage.livejournal.com]

'Cause a th' cap'ain an' some a th' more dangerous passengers.

[Jinx won't even look to Riku; he just keeps his beer in his mouth.]

[oathbreakers]

[Suddenly this truth-compelling thing doesn't seem so bad. At least he knows he's going to get answers, right?]

Yeah, but why would they go after Kairi? Isn't that just this being a dangerous place in general?

[standardpackage.livejournal.com]

A bit before ya' came I got Red an' Snowy inna load a shit.

[A pause.]

Why don't we change th' subject.

[oathbreakers]

[There is going to be a very -pointed- pause here now. Jinx, you should probably be realizing the trouble you're in because You Are, In Fact, In Trouble Now.]

That was because of you?

What did you do?

1/2

[standardpackage.livejournal.com]

Hell yah.

[That sounded...a bit too enthusiastic there. WELL]

Got drunk, mentioned a campin' trip they were all goin' on, pissed off some guy, an' he threatened ta' kill them.

2/2

[standardpackage.livejournal.com]

[A long pause.]

Well I fixed it but he ended up killin' an' maimin' a few people.

[oathbreakers]

[Oh well that's okay then! :|

Riku is having to restrain himself from grabbing Jinx off that seat of his. -He's- the entire reason why all that happened to Kairi? The reason why she'd been in danger and why someone had -died-? Kairi had been -upset- about the fact that someone had died protecting her, and it was all because this idiot couldn't shut his fool mouth and keep away from the alcohol?

Oh, yes. Riku is -pissed.-]

It seems to me like the most dangerous passenger on this ship is you. It's dangerous for other people to know you.

[standardpackage.livejournal.com]

[It's totally okay because he kind of fixed it, right?

Jinx could see the rage in Riku muscles. He could see him restraining himself from beating the snot out of Jinx.]

I've actually heard that same thing from someone else.

[Fuck this shit. Jinx is getting up and peacing out before more verbal vomit spews from his mouth.]

[oathbreakers]

I'd hope you listened to them.

[Yeah, you'd -better- leave, Jinx! Riku gets up and follows him only a couple steps before reaching out with the intent of laying a hand on Jinx's shoulder.]

If anything ever happens to Kairi because of something you've done, I won't hold back.

[You can consider that your warning.]

[standardpackage.livejournal.com]

Nope. I know I'm not that dangerous.

[Jinx attempts to swat the hand off before replying again. This. This is really funny. Little baby-faced Riku is threatening him.]

I'll keep that in mind.

[oathbreakers]

[Oh, Riku will beat. you. -down-, Jinx. He scowls at Jinx's retreating back, then heads out of the Coffee Shop the other way. He's lost his appetite after that.]
