It's Called "Telepathy"

"If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of silence."
-- George Eliot, Middlemarch

Understandable, and if it comes up you should mention the distraction thing. Thing is, his reality's Yohji did that mission alone and things turned out badly and painful. You would have to assure him that you've learned from those mistakes.

Yohji's smile is wry. "A PINpoint is a terribly useful thing if you need to make a quick getaway."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Totally. My team leader likes how much more I can get done using it.

What would you figure on telling Aya if you don't go into much detail about what you want to do?

"I have no idea. I mean, he knows it's the only reason I'd go back to my world. I wouldn't lie to him. It's just completely wrong to ask my fiance to help me avenge the death of the girl of my dreams."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

True, but I don't think he'd mind or even be offended.

[wireboundheart.livejournal.com]

"You really think so? He always gets kind of... odd when she comes up."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

It's difficult for a new, living lover to compete with the memory of a dead, much beloved predecessor, but he wants you to be happy. If he's convinced that tying up this bit of business will lessen your load, he'll help.

Actually, Asuka never took Yohji seriously when he expressed his feelings to her. Maybe it was because she overheard him practicing them on other women.

Yohji smiles. "Thanks. I kind of had a gut feeling that was the way to go, but my instincts have gotten me in a lot of trouble lately." No, Yotan, ignoring them did. Dumbass.

::Aya wouldn't care about Asuka's feelings for Yohji, just Yohji's for Asuka.::

I'm glad I could help. ::Maybe it will work out!::

"I'll let you know how it goes."

"So what have you been up to?"

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

You have to!

Working a lot. Traveling to work more. Once in a while I get to take a break for some romance. It's wearing me down to the bone. I need a vacation soon.

"What kinds of places are you going to?" Yohji hadn't been outside of Japan before discovering the Nexus.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

New York City and Paris mostly. Otherwise I'm in our current homebase of London. Schwarz usually travels a lot. Our time in Japan was unusual.

[wireboundheart.livejournal.com]

"What's Paris like?" Maybe he and Aya could get away for a weekend... Thanks to Yohji's trauma they didn't exactly get to celebrate their anniversary.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

The people are fuckin' rude and arrogant. Makes me happy to practice the people killing part of my craft. Other than that, the city is cool and pretty in parts.

[wireboundheart.livejournal.com]

"Aya might like that. I wonder if they rent those river boats out.... What's London like?"

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

I don't know about boats. I never have the opportunity for that kind of thing when I'm there.

London's made up of a lot of different parts. My reality's Aya enjoys living there.

"You oughta go on strike until you get some downtime."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

::smirk:: Brad would be thrilled.

Most of my recent "breaks" have actually been me using my PINpoint to carve out more time, so I've been having some longer days. I can't keep doing that much longer.

[wireboundheart.livejournal.com]

"From what I've heard about that guy, you could probably convince him if you threw around words like 'increased productivity' and crap."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

I'll probably do exactly that. If I don't get some honest rest soon my work really will suffer.

[wireboundheart.livejournal.com]

"Honest rest?" Yohtan grins. "That doesn't sound like it would suit you."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Dishonest rest would probably be sexy funtimes, which would be fun but hardly restful.

::It's weird for Schu to be around a Yohji who likes him. Gratifying, but still weird.::

[wireboundheart.livejournal.com]

"But very relaxing. Or there could be massages involved. With, um, oil. And hot cabana boys."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

You sure do paint a pretty picture. ::There's been a distinct lack of fun in Schu's life lately.:: But I'd probably fall asleep on my poor partners.
