[Is it weird that he kind of missed the complaining though?]
Right, well, that's sort of the problem... I've hit my limit on what I can do, at least for the time being. It's not as if Susato-san and I are resting on our laurels, mind, it's just... There are some things that prosecutors will only accept hearing from another prosecutor. Because in the view of the current guard, advocates for defense are just enemies to be beaten down.
[Ryunosuke sighs, adjusting his bag a little while Yzak double checks everything.]
That's one of the many things that we still need to change. I need to figure out how to show them that prosecutors and attorneys aren't meant to be enemies... We're both ultimately working towards the same goal.
[He's getting this troubled, distant look on his face now... Mind falling back into the trap of Thinking About Work Too Much.]
Hmph. Having the same goal yet acting like colossal idiots about it to the very people who want the same thing, that's just like what I have to deal with!
How do people with such empty heads get into these kinds of positions!? Even with such a huge time gap between your world and mine...
[ Yzak lets out a low, grumbling sigh. But it's sympathetic, because it truly is what he was dealing with back home himself. And when he glances to Ryunosuke, he pegs that expression immediately, as the king of Thinks About Work Too Much - something Yzak hardly ever falls out of in the first place. ]
Well, stay on their asses until they have no choice but to really look at what you show them. And don't be afraid to call a dipshit a dipshit if they're acting like one! [ Sage advice from someone who has for sure gotten into more verbal arguments with his more hard-headed peers than one can count. ]
Anyway, let's go. They're going to be leaving us around the same area where we originally set down.
But from there ... we're going to have to find our old partners ourselves.
[All excellent questions, Yzak. And all excellent points! They can chat some more about it all while they travel, but for now Ryunosuke just smiles gratefully and tries to imagine calling Prosecutor Auchi a 'dipshit' to his face. He's... Not exactly sure that would go very well. It is funny to think about, though.
He nods then and fiddles with his earpiece (which I assume they both have gotten back temporarily for this occasion), pulling up the cubidex.]
Most of my cubits I left with various gym leaders... And I would like to see them as well, if we can spare the time. Jugemu was an exception... But if I remember correctly, I think there are really only a few places that Luxtini are known to gather in naturally. Do you think they may have gone back to one of those spots?
[ Earpieces and baggage in tow, off they go back to Cubit land - the sensation of transport just as familiar as those tiny pieces of communicative technology.
While Ryunosuke checks the cubidex, Yzak takes a look around to see if he can get their bearings - they've been deposited just outside of a familiar town. Now, which town was this again...? He definitely recalls coming here for a gym battle, so Ryu might be luck. ]
Of course we can spare the time. We'll make it ourselves, somehow, if we can't.
And if I'm recalling correctly, this area ... Luxtini tend to stick to the wooded area nearby.
[Ryunosuke closes the cubidex and nods slowly, one hand going to his chin.]
Right... I'd say that's probably as good a place as any to start with. If we're lucky enough to find them early on, maybe they'll be interested in traveling around with us to see everyone else as well.
[Still, Yzak might note that he looks a bit worried.]
It's silly, I'm just... A bit nervous, I suppose. Like... What if we can't find them? Or they don't want to see us? [He smiles awkwardly.] I suppose we won't know until we try, though.
We'll find them. I don't know about you but I'm very good at tracking things and people down.
[ Case in point, Yzak turns toward the foresty area and takes the lead, beckoning Ryu along. ]
And don't think of such a ridiculous scenario! Those guys were our friends as much as they were our partners, of course they're going to be glad to see us again! Wasn't that the case with you when you returned home and got to see your companions again?
[Ryunosuke isn't even going to try to reply to the question of whether he's any good at tracking things down because... Obviously, he's not going to be able to compete with Yzak's military training and coordinator level abilities. HE'S PRETTY GOOD AT FINDING CLUES AT CRIME SCENES? He'll stay content with that.]
Haahhh... Yeah, you're right... [Like. He did admit up front that it was a silly worry, but he keeps that wry little retort to his own internal blue-text.] I just feel so bad about how quickly we had to leave this world... There was barely any time to say goodbye to them.
[He follows Yzak closely, trusting that he both knows how to navigate their way back out and track the cubits within. The most he can contribute is to try not to slow Yzak down.]
