Hank

[ What does it matter?? ]

look, just because you ran off yesterday doesn't mean the problem's gonna go away
killuwatt: (nyeeeh)

[personal profile] killuwatt 2017-02-09 11:20 am (UTC)(link)
oh ok no need to worry about it then!

[ Does the sarcasm carry via text? Does it?? ]

you got lucky they told ME and not someone who would actually kill him
killuwatt: (what they write)

[personal profile] killuwatt 2017-02-09 11:23 am (UTC)(link)
i didn't see his face. he wore a mask

but if I had a reason to meet him again, maybe I can find out more
killuwatt: (up up up)

[personal profile] killuwatt 2017-02-09 11:28 am (UTC)(link)
meet me in diedo, we can talk there

you pick the location


[ Hopefully she'll find that less suspicious, since she's being so paranoid. Killua can't really blame her... but he's a little surprised and frankly rather annoyed that she's apparently decided he's the untrustworthy one. He was trying to watch out for her because she was Gon's friend! And now... what a mess. ]
killuwatt: (did i leave the oven on...?)

[personal profile] killuwatt 2017-02-09 11:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ Killua thanks her and heads out immediately when he receives the address. He's a bit relived Arietta is willing to meet him and isn't choosing to avoid him instead, but in truth, he has no idea what to say to her.

When he gets to the cafe, Killua finds a table in the back and orders a hot chocolate to wait. ]
killuwatt: (sounds like someone wanna get murked)

Hi.

[ Killua indicates the chair when she comes up, waiting until she sits before leaning forward, elbows on the table, pitching his voice just quiet enough for her to hear without it carrying, but comfortable. ]

You asked me what that man told me about you and Liger. He showed me pictures. He said Liger attacked people throughout Midas.

[ And this next part is a bit of a twist on the truth, but: ]

I also caught him looking at an article about a certain Market Elite getting caught up in the collapse of the Her Bay tunnels last year.

Would you know anything about that?

killuwatt: (the story's all off)

[personal profile] killuwatt 2017-02-10 10:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ Killua catches sit immediately. He affects a frown, thoughtful. ]

I only caught a glimpse. I think he was trying to hide it from me.

...Why?
killuwatt: (off the cage)

[personal profile] killuwatt 2017-02-10 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ Not at all.

...Killua was down there killing people too. ]


Do you happen to remember their names? I think this guy wasn't supposed to be revived, but either he was, or a friend of his is bitter about it and wants revenge.
killuwatt: (some turn to dust or to gold)

[personal profile] killuwatt 2017-02-10 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ Killua watches her, sensing the nervousness. He tries to gentle his voice, leans in a little closer. ]

Tell me what happened.

[ It's phrased like an order, but the tone isn't demanding at all, quiet. ]
killuwatt: (down in an earlier round)

[personal profile] killuwatt 2017-02-10 10:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ Killua listens without interrupting, letting her get it out. And he tries to keep his expression neutral, but there's a way his jaw tightens, a subtle coldness that comes into his eyes. If Arietta is sensitive to aura, she'll feel the coldness in the air too, the tension around him.

Without thinking, he reaches out when she's finished, placing his hand on top of hers on the table. His voice is low and vicious, barely more than a growl. ]


Those bastards.
killuwatt: (break a name)

[personal profile] killuwatt 2017-02-10 11:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ Killua lets go, doesn't comment on it. He'd gotten a little carried away. He swallows, tries to calm the anger and fresh wave of grief tightening his chest as he listens to Arietta's words and thinks about his own failed revenge, how useless he is, the mistakes he's made. He draws his hands back into his lap, squeezed into fists so tight his nails draw blood, and forces himself to look calm.

...even after I killed everyone, it wasn't enough.

He hasn't had the chance to go after everyone he wants dead, but still, Killua feels that statement viscerally.

But he doesn't make this about him. He swallows the reminders of his own pain in silence (like he often does), and watches Arietta tremble. ]


...and now they're after your liger friend. You tried the direct method. There's too many of them to just take out all of them.

Until something is done about the whole network-- [ which is extremely unlikely, but Killua won't state the obvious ] --consider taking measures to protect yourself. And Liger.
killuwatt: (I've been dying to tell you)

[ It hurts, hearing her say things like that, and it's shitty but it hurts mostly for selfish reasons. It hits too close to home. Killua's heart squeezes, his shoulders tense. He doesn't know what to say. He never knows what the right thing to say is, especially in a situation like this.

How do people comfort each other? Does Arietta want him to even try at all? She'd pulled away a moment ago... Killua sits still with his hands in his lap, watching. ]


Help me fake his death. If we can get close to the guy who ordered it and kill him, maybe...

[ Fuck. He shouldn't have done any of this. He shouldn't have gotten involved. What is he saying? There's nothing he can actually do-- But right now, despite how stupid it is, Killua really wants to kill that man. ]
