Want some Shawarma? (Lupin/Shouhei interaction)

“...Booze ain’t for everybody, I’m glad ya found that out for yourself.  As for me and most people, we drink ‘cause it makes us feel good.  A lotta the time it ends up like you though,” Shouhei shook his head with a light chuckle.  He took a deep drag from his cigarette and sighed.

“...Yeah, your ass definitely needs some rest.  And some water.  My bike’s parked not too far from here, I’ll give ya a lift.  But first, you’re washin’ your face and mouth, and drinkin’ plenty’a water.  You ain’t touchin’ me or goin’ on my bike without doin’ that first.”

"Got it." Lupin gave a thumbs up and looked around for the nearest supply of water and started to get himself clean. What a hectic night for everyone, Lupin drank some water just to help clear his throat and mind. Lupin will want to start probing the playhouse for information. But not tonight, not while his past transgressions still hold him hostage. "Alright lets go home." Lupin will start to follow Shouhei to his motorcycle, during the trip Lupin asks a very important question that he thinks no has asked about.

"Hey Shouhei, do you think the school will have a problem with us coming back so late? Do you think there going to say something about that? Can we sneak a drunk pogo boy to his dorm room." Lupin is ready to go home.

“...Ya don’t go out late too much, do ya?  Woulda figured you to be the type, what with all the shenanigans you pull.  Anyway there’s a Residence Assistant that checks IDs at the door.  Just show ‘em your Academy card and we’ll be good to go.  Otherwise that joint’d be like a jail, yeah?”  The mere thought of it caused Shouhei to shudder.  He gave Lupin a firm smack on the back to pep him up and think clearer.

“...Just don’t act like a stumblin’ bumblin’ drunk in front of the RA.  Public appearance and first impressions mean a lot, Lupin.  Also says somethin’ ‘bout the company ya keep.  That’s why I wanted ya to act more chill in the Playhouse earlier.  If they see ya as an incompetent clown, and you’re my friend, don’t that make us both look like jackasses?  Like I can’t take care of ya either… then again I can barely do that as is.  That’ s why I’ m tryin’  to teach ya how to act.”  

Lupin hiccups as spoke. "I am usually stuck orgainizing supplies at this hour and would have normally finished about 20 minutes ago. Balancing life from now on is going to suck, I know that much." Lupin kept walking towards the motorcycle ready to call it a night. "How far are we from your motorcycle. I am just about ready to pass out."

Lupin then took note of what Shouhei said about appearances. Triboulet then said to Lupin in agreement to Shouhei. "I have to agree with Shouhei here, you kinda look like a complete and total dumbass Lupin. you might want to dial it back a bit." Lupin in an apologetic tone said to Shouhei. "Sorry about that I will try and keep that in mind for the future. Even if I don't Trib will keep reminding me anyway, he seems to be on the same page as you." Lupin now begins to wonder if he and Triboulet will ever get along. Maybe it's for the best the two but heads with each other. two minds are better than one. But then again that doesn't really apply here since there are both the same person. Lupin then shakes his head, he is thinking about this too much, Lupin then just kept walking. "I wonder what's going to happen next, with this city it could be anything."

“...You’re tellin’ me.  I already walk around the Academy like a zombie half the time, now I think I’m gonna be a full out corpse with all this shit goin’ on.  Have fun jugglin’ your priorities, I sure as shit ain’t,” Shouhei groaned at the future thought.  Conveniently, the pair arrived at where Shouhei had parked his motorcycle not much longer after Lupin had asked.

“...Good.  Trib tellin’ ya that shit and you agreein’ means you’re learnin’.  Remember how you said ya felt powerless earlier?  Well, you’re takin’ the right steps, so good on ya.”  Shouhei put on his helmet, and pointed to where Lupin could hold onto on his motorcycle.

“...Normally I’d give ya my helmet, but I don’t want ya pukin’ in it.  Also pull on the shoulder of my jacket twice if ya wanna pull over ‘cause you’re feelin’ sick.  If ya can’t absolutely handle it, try not to puke on me or my bike, please, tilt your head off to the side.  I’ll try not to ride too fast or crazy anyway.”  Looking up to the night sky, Shouhei too wondered what Endymion and its recipients had planned for him next.  It was a wild ride so far, to say the least.


“...Whatever happens I’m hype as fuck for.”  With that said the two tore off into the night, back to the Academy for some much needed rest.
