[...ah. What the hell. Consequences for telling Kano probably wouldn't happen anyway, so.]
My sons, they're all I have. I never had any parents, and my brothers and sisters all died when they were kids. For the longest time it was just me, all by myself. For years and years and years, I came home to an empty apartment and nobody there to tell me 'welcome home'.
But then one snowy Christmas, my sons were left on my doorstep. I took them in, adopted them, and raised them as my own. And now we're our own little family, those two and me.
They're all I have too. So believe me when I say that I understand you. And I'll make sure your family is safe.
[ It's a little hard to imagine the love a father has for his sons, especially with his own dad being possessed the way he is now, but the other way around... how Kano had regarded his mother, his foster family, how much he loves them even through they're not blood. ]
...Thanks. Really.
[ He shifts uncomfortably, and then speaks again, ]
So you gotta make sure you live and get out of here, okay? Live no matter what. Don't you dare die and leave your sons behind.
Are any of them ones I can take on, to keep them from getting broken? I know some are specific to you, but if it's something like "protect this person" then I can help out there.
[ Rufus has to deal with Kano's games even after Kano's dead (': ]
Hm? Nah, you don't have to be bothered about whatever's gonna happen to me. You're going to follow through with that thing with Goat, right? That's helping! That's what really matters.

I've got a lot of promises to keep, including my promise to you. So this old man will be around for a little longer yet.
...you're keeping a promise to someone right now too, aren't you?

I guess so, yeah. I'm going to be breaking a whole lot, by dying! It's a shame.

Other than that, can you... pass on a message to Rufus for me? You have to promise not to act on it, though. Just relay the message.
no subject
Date: 2020-10-12 01:23 am (UTC)[That last part though, that sounds serious. So he nods.]
I'll pass on the message, and I won't act on it. You have my word.
[They can't reach each other because barrier, but he holds up his pinkie. He pinkie swears.]

Date: 2020-10-12 01:38 am (UTC)Stupid barrier's in the way, so all Kano can do is hold his pinkie up too, thumping it against the barrier. ]
"Bear den, 10 o'clock, low." If he doesn't get it, Sora or Alphonse will be able to help him.
[ And I can like... dm Jae for follow up ig, if Shiro will actually relay the message ]

Date: 2020-10-12 02:18 am (UTC)I guess that's all we can hope for now, huh.
[He still doesn't sound too happy about that, too.]
...I'm sorry, kid. I tried to help, but it didn't help at all.

Date: 2020-10-12 03:04 am (UTC)I can't not be bothered, though. The things you do, it's familiar to me. And I can't ignore that.
