*He smirks, looking away.*

I'm sure Jules will be happy to help you with those reports

*Eye fiddled with the now-repaired hinge of the prosthetic joint before carefully fitting it back into place. Getting up and shifting the weight between their legs, they hummed, satisfied.*

... I'm going to visit the precinct. To deliver the reports. -👁️

*He's still fiddling and tinkering with the camera, although it seems mostly fixed now. He makes a non-commital sound.*

Mhmmm. To deliver reports, for sure.

Do you need your camera? It's not quite done yet.

[hare-the-sniper]

I-

*he covers his mouth, coughing into his hand in a strange way. He shakes his head and continues.*

I'll get you a new lock, if you'll let me. I doubt Eye will be very happy if I let his friend get kidnapped just because he had a shit lock.

I still feel like you didn't have to tell him at all.

Thank you. Although it seems my own plans to prevent it from happening again are... difficult to say the least

For how much of a nerd he is, he sure is thick as bricks

-🐇

Of course. Thank you for telling me. I admittedly have been worried for if they've been okay recently.. Please continue to help Eye, best you can. And yourself.

And I can certainly agree. Their resilience to me, at least, is commendable for having been in a situation like that.

[hare-the-sniper]

The simple, easy answer is: your locks are shit. I'd give you a longer one but I don't explain shit to snitches

That tip was a bit more obvious than you thought then, wasn't it?

[hare-the-sniper]

Pretty sure it's the cold or the fact you haven't taken the meds they've sent you.

Also you're not very good at keepin' your lips sealed.

[hare-the-sniper]

Says you, old man. I've seen the twitch in your wrist. You ain't exactly been takin' good care of it, huh?

[hare-the-sniper]

Y'know what they say. If you're gonna be stupid, then you better be tough.

I'll care for him, for as long as he lets himself be taken care of. Can't promise anythin' for myself.

[hare-the-sniper]

'Course you will. I'll be tailing you.

*He pulls out his radio, setting it between them both. He then holds his hand out for Eye's camera.*

Maybe do try to cut down on the people you snitchin' on. You do realise that my family is huge, right? Not an easy group o' people to get rid of.

Protein is good! You need protein!!

*He pokes Eye's arm before sitting down in front of Eye, cross-legged. His hand comes up to hover just below his jaw.*

Hm. It looks like it's startin' to bruise. What'd you do? Ah, I'll check your leg too, in a bit.

-🐇

Mmm. Sure I do. *They take a sip of the tea, before nodding once to Hare, as if giving him permission to properly check it. A dry chuckle escaped their lips.* Oh, they wiped the street with me, is all. I got dragged for a good while.

[hare-the-sniper]

Hmph. Dickhead. But that's all I needed to know.

*Hare leans forward, snatching a small bit of food off of Eye's plate. He chews on it, eyes still on Eye's.*

You should care a bit more though, cause that was one o' my cousins. Which ain't good.

Protein is good! You need protein!!

[hare-the-sniper]

*He pauses for a second, looking up at Eye.*

Hm. Any particular features that stood out? Apart from the "amber" eyes?

[hare-the-sniper]

... what?

*He blinks at him in confusion, before shaking his head. He taps his finger against his thigh.*

Mm. Do you at least know who it was?

[hare-the-sniper]

What? No no! I'm fine

*There's some noise coming from the kitchen, the sound of pans and pots and plates hitting each other.*

*Then finally, after a few long minutes, Hare comes out with a steaming cup in his hand and a plate full o' food. Mostly meat.*

Here. Oh 'n' lemme see your jaw

*Hare holds him tight, his stance the most stable it's ever been. He can see the building's door.*

'S fine. I'll help you fix it.

-🐇

*As they get close, Eye reaches and opens the door, since Hare is supporting their weight.*

No, it's fine. I can do this on my own. Thank you.

[hare-the-sniper]

Well, yeah but I doubt you can see much with all those tears in the way

*He waits for the door to open, and as soon as it is he drags Eye inside. He slowly sets Eye down, keeping his arm firmly around his waist until Eye can touch tbe sofa.*

Stay

*He moves to the kitchen, and a few seconds later there's a loud crash.*

*Hare holds him tight, his stance the most stable it's ever been. He can see the building's door.*

'S fine. I'll help you fix it.

-🐇

*As they get close, Eye reaches and opens the door, since Hare is supporting their weight.*

No, it's fine. I can do this on my own. Thank you.

[hare-the-sniper]

Sure. You'll just have to keep an eye in case I fiddle with something in a bad way.

*Soon, they reach the apartment, and I wait for Eye to open the door to it. My foot taps slowly on the floor. Not from impatience but just keeping a steady beat *

*Hare holds him tight, his stance the most stable it's ever been. He can see the building's door.*

'S fine. I'll help you fix it.

*As they get close, Eye reaches and opens the door, since Hare is supporting their weight.*

No, it's fine. I can do this on my own. Thank you.

[hare-the-sniper]

*He holds Eye. Just that, hold him. He doesn't move to comfort him or to hug him tighter, just lets Eye decide what he wants to do now.*

Do you want me to fix it as you fix your leg?

*He says nothing else, just waiting for Eye to respond. And his eyes are blank. Like slates of red clay smoothed down by age.*

*Hare holds him tight, his stance the most stable it's ever been. He can see the building's door.*

'S fine. I'll help you fix it.

-🐇

*As they get close, Eye reaches and opens the door, since Hare is supporting their weight.*

No, it's fine. I can do this on my own. Thank you.

[hare-the-sniper]

*He sighs, eyebrows pinching tight. He rubs his cheek against Eye's mask again and helps him into the building.*

Fine. But don't- you can- I'll help you. If you need.

[hare-the-sniper]

*He ignores the crying and instead, rubs his whole unmasked face against the cracked mask.*

'S fine. Thanks for callin'.

*He grabs Eye tight, beginning to help him towards the apartment as gently as he can.*

*Loud static. And a grunt of pain as the radio finally connects.*

... Hare? Are you- hm. Are you anywhere near the apartment? -👁️

*He grabs his radio from his pocket, clicking a small button.*

I am. About 15 minutes away from the apartment. Wha's wrong? Y'burn out?
