Simon Blackquill doesn’t know what the fuck is going on; A Compilation

Simon growls in frustration -- not only is he having trouble understanding everything being said, he's also not getting a good response. He's regretting not doing more language practice. All he did was watch anime this time.

His experience with speaking Japanese is limited. About the only chance he's even had in the past decade would be a little bit of shower singing since his release from prison.

It was his mother who he spoke it for the most.

Simon spends so much time dwelling on his own thoughts and trying to figure out how to communicate... literally anything, that he doesn't immediately notice Inuyasha leaning forward, until he's asked a question.

"Can you speak slower?!" He asks, while his brain tries to jumble together a translation of Inuyasha's words. The pointing helps.

"......You wonder how I hide... my tail? ...I don't."

Is he trying to suggest that Simon's tail could be... frightening? Maybe he needs to find and ask someone else. Someone that was also on the same flight.

"Where is everybody? I was on a flight."

"Whaddya mean, 'know what happened'?"

If he were one to insult others for things they couldn't control, he'd be commenting on that accent. He'd been all over Japan, and he couldn't place the dialect at all. But it wouldn't be right, a person couldn't control how they were raised to speak. God knew he always spoke casually, rather than using respectful honorifics that were expected by most society.

"You're an adult. You know what it's like for us, ya shoulda known better than ta try walkin' around in clothes like that."

He knew how Kagome constantly got comments on her choice of clothing, but she was a human. She'd be accepted, just called out for her strange fashion. Half demons didn't have that luxury no matter what they were wearing. Why someone of his lineage would go through the trouble of passing through the Bone Eater's Well, getting clothes, then coming back and trying to walk around the village was beyond him.

Some chose violence. Some chose kindness. Some chose stupidity.

He could figure out which of the three this guy chose.

Inuyasha just eeeevvverrrrr so casually leans his body as he originally planned to do. A better look at that tail.

Blink blink.

"Howdja hide that thing, anyway?"

A clawed finger points towards the tail in question.

"Unless ya just scared someone and stole the clothes. Ya really shouldn't do that, but as long as ya didn't kill anyone, I guess it's alright as a one time thing."

Not like he hadn't stolen things during younger days. No right judging, as long as no one got killed.

Simon growls, but says nothing, for an uncomfortably long moment. Definitely more than a mere pause. Not only is he having to listen more carefully to determine what's being said, but he's also having to also figure out... what the hell this bloke is going on about.

Is he trying to say... that the reason Simon woke up alone, is because he frightened the other passengers...? Surely not.

A few other, more irrational thoughts enter his mind from this. But Simon quickly dismisses them. He's not even sure he fully understood, anyway.

"..............."

"Ah... Do you... know what happened?"

He's much quieter, but not exactly whispering, fully aware of how much his raised voice could hurt. His own outburst hadn't been the easiest on his own ears, after all.

Having a tail seemed like it would be annoying. It would give away someone's emotions even more than their ears did. He had enough issues with his best friend being able to read him by the way his ears moved. As weird as it had been that the guy's scent had popped up out of nowhere, and as weird as it was that a half demon of all things was in his forest, there was an understanding on what the guy must have been through.

He looks confused. Guess I oughta wait for him to say somethin'. How do you hide a tail in the present? Maybe he tucks it in those pants.

Just as inuyasha leans his body to the side for a better look at it...

His ears are ringing.

Embarrassing as it was, even he let out a sound denoting the shock at the sudden voice.

"Hey, what're ya shoutin' for?! I'm right here y'know!"

There goes his ear. Flick flick. Thank God he didn't go deaf from that. With a grumble, Inuyasha is rubbing his poor, delicate ears. The only thing keeping his temper in check was knowing what the guy must have been through. He was probably chased here. Probably couldn't even defend himself. That would explain why the scent had been so sudden.

He could picture it, given Simon's choice of clothes. They'd probably would have done more than gawk at Kagome if she hadn't been a human. Deep breath. Frustrated, deep breath.

"Everyone's probably scared of ya 'cause of those clothes, dumbass. What's the matter with you? You should know better than to go around in clothes from the present. Ain'tcha got anything that, y'know, looks normal?"

[thetwistedronin]

There's a long pause, but eventually, Simon laughs a little under his breath.

"And so you went on to have this vivid fantasy of collaring me, and taking me for a walk, then?"

Another pause.

"......Was I still wearing clothes?"

You’re right. I’m 100% sure of it.

I got this idea when I went for a walk and saw a dog. Naturally, my mind wandered to you, who is also a son of a bitch.

[thetwistedronin]

"What gave you this fascinating idea, and why are you merely 80% sure of it?"

I love kjæresten min, but I’m also 80% sure he’d like it if I put him on a leash and treated him like a dog.

…on second thought I’m not wholly against that idea-
