Who: Uchiha Sasuke
Broadcast: Fleetwide!
Action: Marsiva
When: This very moment.

(broadcast)

[ Sure there are bound to be the occasional less-than-thrilling broadcasts but this one may be a new low, with the camera focused in on a nondescript blob that turns out -- with some acquired distance -- to be a knee. The feed shakes then and there's the loud metallic tap tap of the device being knocked against the framework of one of the generic cots aboard the Marsiva. Tap. Tap. Tap. The only other sound is that of the painfully bland music in the background, without a word being spoken.

At least this inept user finally turns the communicator around to inspect it at another angle, granting any viewer a flash of dark and impractically spiked hair before the camera then focuses on equally shadowed eyes and a severe expression.

No, he's not going to panic. He probably already did that internally before he even tried to figure out the communicator ~~less than successfully~~. Send aid. ]

(action)

[ Sasuke will be easy to encounter either sitting on that cot and fiddling with his communicator, exploring the bay thoroughly, or staring with incredible and difficult-to-read intensity out into the murky void of space. Godspeed. ]

If you stand in the way of a moving boulder it's the expected result that you'll be crushed. Do you approve of that?

No, but that's why you move out of the way of the bloody boulder.

Or hit it hard enough that it no longer poses a threat.

[...]

Is that supposed to be a threat or do you actually go around punching boulders?

[With people from Konoha you can never be sure!!]

Not boulders. [ THIS IS SO VAGUE ]

But you've derailed the point. I don't have a reason to hurt you.

Believe me, I'm not worried about you hurting me.

What is your point then?

Then it doesn't matter if it was a threat.

I was just trying to get you to comprehend the difference between acceptance and approval.

[THE BIGGEST EYEROLL]

Fine. Whatever. Do you approve of being thought as an arse?

Not particularly. That's no longer something that'll further my goals.

What goals?

Why, are you suspicious of my intentions?

You're very testy, aren't you...

Allen.

[ come on :c ]

[-- Ah dammit. Zuko's found him. He's so going to get charged for another therapy session uuugh]

One moment, Zuko!

[And then he focuses back on Sasuke to state things quickly!!]

Of course I'm suspicious. From what I've seen, when you have a goal in mind, you don't care who you hurt to achieve it. So no, I have no reason to trust you.

[ He'd take the time to be more impressed by this new capability he's witnessing via the communicator -- dual calls, well -- but he's too busy feeling a mix of irritation at his conversation being eavesdropped on and faint amusement at Allen getting interrupted. ]

I just told you I'm not planning to harm you, but if you don't trust me then am I not wasting my breath reassuring you of anything? You won't believe it, and I don't mind that right now. You're entitled to feel however you want about me based on things I don't even know about, but I'm not the one coming across as more stubborn here.

It's not me I'm worried about being harmed. [Allen had never been directly harmed by Sasuke's actions. It was his friends that would be the ones hurt- which possibly was worse, in Allen's eyes.]

[Still, it was a bit weird that Sasuke was still talking to him. In the past, he'd blow him off. So there's a bit of hesitation as he wavers before he speaks again]

...But I suppose you're right about that. I'd rather see your actions than your words before I believe anything.

[Allen knows he's on a time limit. He honestly doesn't want to piss Zuko off]

Anyway, I should go. I'm sure Ino and the others will fill you in on everything you need to know here.

[And with that, he's cutting the feed]
