百三十二; 「accidental voice 」

[It's frantic — panicked and soft, and quick and in denial. A little crazed, and breathless. Exhausted.

It's something you'd never expect to hear out of Sasuke, really. But maybe so, considering how much he hung around a certain group of people.

It might as well be a little disturbing nonetheless.]

I'msorryi'msorryi'msorryi'msorryi'msorryi'msorryi'msorryi'msorryi'msorryi'msorryi'msorry—

[A choked sob, a forced intake of air—]

I'mnotanakumai'mnotanakumai'mnotanakumai'mnotanakumai'mnotanakumai'mnotanakumai'mnotanakumai'mnotanakumai'mnotanakumai'mnotanaku—

[End feed.]

[The feed clicks off - and flicks back on again after a few minutes. Looks like Tyki got an idea. A pair of cokebottle glasses fades into view, and the hobo watches him quietly.]

Oi. Oi. Saucey. Did I ever tell you about the time I had to work in Austria without any pants?

[You did. He'll appreciated it later, too, once he's started to recover from this. Or at least try to.

Ssauke shifts a little in bed. He's not shaking or rocking himself. Probably the best thing to a "I'm listening" as you're going to get out of him right now.]

It was bloody cold, yeah?

Me an' the boys were passing through town and decided to stop. And usually we're good with sleepin' in train cars and the like. But it was so damn cold that we thought we'd try our hand at getting a warm place to bunk down in. There was an inn in town, yeah?

Got in there, and thought we could win a room by playin' a few hands against the barkeep's daughter. Man, she was quite a looker. Anyway, needless to say, she caught on to us cheatin' - and instead of callin' us out on it, she started cheatin' right back! She stripped us right down to our knickers.

Well, stripped me down, anyway. After a few pints. I'll spare you the gory details, but I'll say that I did get a warm bed to sleep in that night - even if I had to run from her father when he caught me in there.

Word to the wise? Don't ever get caught.

[Tyki Mikk being chased away by an angry father. That would have easily made Sasuke laugh on any other day. The imagery was too hilarious not to laugh at.

Except now. Sasuke's pretty much static.

You're managing to make progress, Tyki.]

[A funny thing is starting to happen, however: the more Tyki talks, the deeper he falls into the stories. The hobo leans back a little, immediately launching into the next one.]

There's also the time I had to sleep in a barn. Best sleep I ever got, wouldn't you believe that?

Train was late, had no where to sleep, so I took up a spot in a tavern. I hadn't even meant to wind up in a barn, if it weren't for the fact that I drank so damn much that I thought it was a bath-house.

Woke up to a cow tryin' to eat my hair.

[Sasuke would definitely be laughing if he had it in him. The hilarity of your white life, Tyki, he doesn't even.

Still, he's just sitting there, as still as a statue, and listening.]

[He's stopped really paying attention to who he's talking to. Now, Tyki's just talking.]

There's the time that Eaze's coffee kept me up for three days straight. By the end of the third day, I thought there were little green men walking on the ceilin' of the mine shaft.

Also spent a week with only one shoe. Really big doberman ate the right one, and it took a while for me to get it back. Even when I did, my big toe was cold for two weeks before I managed to get a new pair. I'll tell ya, it's difficult to walk around with a frozen big toe.

[Eaze. Sasuke's heard the name before there was just the barest of connections in Sasuke's mind.

Tyki's friend. That's right, Tyki was talking to him. It was hard to miss the voice you thought you grew up with.

Sasuke's sitting up a little straighter, now, his hands falling to wrap around his legs.]
