[THEY STARTED IT BY BEING IN A CULT IN THE FIRST PLACE
But, he considers this. It's Friday so he hasn't met Kate yet, which means his first thoughts are Karlach and Boothill as the most visually Unusual, but plenty of exorcists look normal bc they're equipment types, so that's not a sure bet... damn]
Just tell them I went and found you. ["Tell them yourself Kanda" no he's even less inclined to do that now than he was before... he's gonna be a fucking nightmare of a general]
but also damn, this is the second time Kanda's mentioned Lenalee with devastating effect.]
Wasn't plannin' on avoiding her...
[but his annoyance is mostly feigned... he's just feeling Sad and trying not to because that's not Bookman behavior, except he probably looks droopy anyway]
Lavi eyes him for a moment longer at that, like he wants to ask again just how exactly and why Kanda's changed at all, even if it's only a part of him. Whichever part it is, it feels integral to who he is as a person.
But he knows that pushing won't do much now. He'll just have to keep at it.]
Let's head back.

We'll just have to watch them.
[No Finders around to do the legwork for them]
no subject
Maybe more people should start fighting... The Innocence would definitely react in order to save 'em...
[please don't give kanda any ideas]
no subject
Fortunately even Kanda isn't violent enough to just start attacking dozens of randos*
*that seem like normies and have not exploded into Akuma yet]
They will if we're trapped here for too long. [This is just projection]
no subject
Guess we'll deal with it when it happens.
[unfortunately lavi has very little faith in humanity to think that they won't]

Anyway, assuming they get out of here alive, because for some unfathomable reason they keep scraping by:]
If you want lodging on the way back you'll have to pay for it.
[HE SOLD HIS DECORATIONS ALREADY]
no subject
We should be fine if we just show 'em the cross.
[their rose cross that can apparently pay train fare, except only in their world... what are they gonna have to do while world hopping,]
And the Bookman clan's got supporters all over the world too. They'll help us out.
no subject
Fine. [Which sounds bitchy but it's not, really, since lodging is truly so whatever to him. He'll sleep in the woods he doesn't care]
no subject
M'worried about Allen and Johnny though...
[how are those fcks gonna pay for anything (by gambling) how]
What are you gonna do when the Order asks you where they are?
no subject
They don't know where I went. Marie and Lena covered for me.
[THEY DO SO MUCH FOR HIM AND FOR WHAT]
no subject
I’ll have to link up with them and get my story straight too.
[except the idea of going back to the order without book man is…. Hm]
no subject
Just tell them I went and found you. ["Tell them yourself Kanda" no he's even less inclined to do that now than he was before... he's gonna be a fucking nightmare of a general]
no subject
I’ll tell them that we found each other.
no subject
[No she will cry on him, which is worse, and THEN kill him]
no subject
but also damn, this is the second time Kanda's mentioned Lenalee with devastating effect.]
Wasn't plannin' on avoiding her...
[but his annoyance is mostly feigned... he's just feeling Sad and trying not to because that's not Bookman behavior, except he probably looks droopy anyway]
no subject
Anyway he's chilled out but he's still the least comforting person on the planet so:]
Go mope somewhere else. [Thanks Kanda]
no subject
but this is such a kanda answer even if it's CHILLD OUT that it actually comforts Lavi]
'Least you haven't totally changed.
no subject
[Well. Even he can't argue that he hasn't changed at all, not that he would have bothered before anyway, but. Y'know.]
no subject
Lavi eyes him for a moment longer at that, like he wants to ask again just how exactly and why Kanda's changed at all, even if it's only a part of him. Whichever part it is, it feels integral to who he is as a person.
