America 2005: Chapter 18 - Los Angeles: Downward Spiral

Seishurou : Isn't this the pits?



Si Ye : ...Yes. Yes it is.



Seishurou : ...Is something wrong?
Si Ye : Of course not.



Seishurou : ....

Seishurou : ...and even the toilet lock is broken. I never thought I would say this, but I almost
wish I were back home.



Tsukisou : Uh-huh.



Seishurou : ...You sound a little distracted. Say, you're not doing anything I should know about, are you?



Tsukisou : Perish the thought, Seishurou-sama. As always, you have my undivided attention.
Seishurou : I'm sure.
Tsukisou : But of course.



Seishurou : And there's something else. I'm getting...well, not that I'd get worried about that brat,
but...I'm noticing that Si Ye doesn't seem to be...how shall I put it...responding well to the surroundings.



Tsukisou : Seishurou-sama showing concern for Si Ye-sama? I must say I'm impressed.
Seishurou : Not - not concern, mind you. Just...just in case he snaps and comes after me with
a steak knife. You never know with these types.



Tsukisou : Of course, how could I doubt. ...Well, Si Ye-sama was probably...acutely reminded
of his loss in a setting so emblematic of his happier youth.
Seishurou : His brother, yadda yadda, yeah I know. What'm I supposed to do about that?!



Tsukisou : I'm afraid I have little in the way of a practical solution, sir. You will notice that we've
never had the greatest batting average with aiding those in grief. Certainly I can imagine if we did,
Ruka-sama wouldn't currently be in a dress.



Seishurou : Oh well. Queer Eye's a big boy. He can take care of himself.



Tsukisou : I'd, however, imagine that it might help if you dropped the derogatives.
Seishurou : Hey, can I help it if it's descriptive?



Seishurou : Maybe I'll take him out for a drink or something. Might as well enjoy our last night in
America loading ourselves with booze.



Tsukisou : ...I suppose that's the most effective remedy you would consider, Seishurou-sama.
Seishurou : Yeah? It's not like you could think of a better idea.
Tsukisou : Point taken, sir.
Seishurou : ...



Seishurou : ...Tsukisou? I've...been thinking...do you - not, of course, that I would care,
but...just...to satiate an idle curiousity...might you - possibly...I don't know...miss me, perhaps?



Tsukisou : ...My thoughts are always with you, Seishurou-sama.
Seishurou : ...Good. I mean - that's good to know. I...I suppose I'll end the call, I'll see you again
soon enough.
Tsukisou : I'll be glad to have you home again, sir. Have a safe flight.





Seishurou : I guess I will take him for a drink.


*******








Seishurou : WHAT ARE YOU DOING?



Si Ye : None of your business.



Seishurou : IS THIS YOUR IDEA OF - OF DEALING WITH LOSS?!



Si Ye : Shut up.



Seishurou : WHORING YOURSELF OUT IN DOWNTOWN LA?!



Si Ye : Don't touch me -



Seishurou : IS THIS WHAT YOUR BROTHER TAUGHT YOU TO DO?!



Seishurou : BECAUSE I DON'T THINK MUCH OF HIM IF IT IS!



Si Ye : DON'T YOU DARE TALK ABOUT MY BROTHER!



Si Ye : Don't...you...



Si Ye : ...Don't...



Seishurou : ....



Seishurou : ...There, there.



Seishurou : ...While you're down there...


At least they're only Sleepless in Seattle - Sei and Si Ye next demonstrate why you shouldn't
drink the night away, all Scandalous in LA...
