What are you saying?! That it's ok for them to do something but not me? That's not fair and whatever they do, he won't respect it!

[His hands fist.]

Not in the long run. So, I have to make sure it sticks!
namesaquestion: (who should I be?)

[There's a tiny flinch at the snap, even as the fists tighten until his knuckles are white.

He knows Archie's right, but it doesn't stop the desire or want to hunt Archer down and feed him to Baku, or let the gengar have free reign on hunting the Rocket before eating him.

But it sounds like Archie doesn't want it- didn't even want Poe and Guzma to go after the man and Nikolai's honestly not sure why, but that can be asked later. Much, much later. The main point is Archie's professing to not want this, and in Nikolai' brain that translates to-]
So. I'm not allowed to do anything even though he deserves it, oyaji?

[Once upon a time, he wouldn't have asked, would have gone behind the man's back. But Nikolai likes the fragile, tentative feelings of- of whatever this is. Family? Friendship? Other people having his back?

He's gone weak. He only needs himself. Letting others in isn't a good idea.

He ... doesn't care? Not if he's using 'oyaji', at least.]
namesaquestion: (This is finding infinity)

[A little bit of both; more genuine than not, but hell if this emotionally constipated teenager'll admit to it.]

That doesn't even make sense! I'm either allowed to do something or not! It's as simple as that!

[... Right?]
namesaquestion: (I'm locked behind my wall)

[personal profile] namesaquestion 2019-09-26 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
I know that! I'm not some stupid, coddled kid!

[It's more a frustrated whine than not and maybe just maybe, he should let the matter drop, agree with what Archie says. But he can't, because what Archie wants leaves so much wiggle room to act behind his back-

Maybe he shouldn't be approaching this like he would his father in terms of absolutes, yet it is really the only frame of reference he has.]


Am I or am I not allowed to do anything to him? Or do I pretend that I don't want to feed him to Baku?
namesaquestion: (Wash away the dirty layers)

[personal profile] namesaquestion 2019-09-28 03:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Yessir.

[There's a short, sharp nod and Niko seems to relax just a fraction.


... ... ... and actually sitting in the chair he'd dragged over earlier, now.]
Do you want me to leave him here when I leave, just in case?
namesaquestion: (Clear your heart)

[personal profile] namesaquestion 2019-09-28 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
You better be...

[It's a grumbled reply. Tired, too. As if all the emotion, for now, has been drained.

Or at least is simmering and Niko can't be bothered to stoke it into anything else right now.]


So, where'd you get shot anyway?
namesaquestion: (It's not about conformity)

[personal profile] namesaquestion 2019-09-29 10:29 am (UTC)(link)
-Even with the nanites? That's not fair.

[The only reason he even crosses his arms is to stop from rubbing the arm he broke on the maiden flight of Project Alke.

At the suggestion to go and get rest, though? He juts his jaw in a stubborn set. Does he need to be here? No.

But he wants to be here. Archie means something Nikolai can't put into words right now. ]
I'll leave when I'm ready.
