[Baji isn't the type to waste time beating around the bush. Heizou had seen things, so had he. What it always came down to, what always mattered, was what you did and who you did it for. Actions would always help better than words, so the robust silence that settled around "so you get it" made all the sense in the world.
Whatever had happened to Heizou, it maybe hadn't been good. And it had been personal. These things always were.
A nod in response and a narrowed sideways look at him. ...Well, whatever grim shit had happened, they'd just have to make sure it didn't happen here, right? He'd help with that, he decided, right then and there. He'd make sure nothing happened to him. Within his abilities, anyway.
Shrugging into the arm, perfectly comfortable with it; half tempted to give a piggy back ride, if they'd had further to go; he'd nod again.]
Cool. [Going to push open the door, and even though they were glued together, still noting,] After you, Shikanoin-san.
