[ Tension continues—almost perplexingly so. The moment their fingers touch the other man bristles like a cat, all sharp edges and dangerous still. It's interesting, if only for the fact that Rokurou has done nothing other than hold his hand, with permission. Intriguing, even. Maybe it's some sort of instinctual warning in the man, that a daemon is no one he should be holding hands with. ]

So strict. [ is he talking about the way he lives by his blade, or the fact that he already wants to let go? who knows. ] If that's what you want.

[ And Rokurou does let go. His fingers hover close, however, because the red string between them has yet to dissipate. Considering it's been less than a minute, that doesn't surprise him. ]

But I don't think that was enough. Would you like to stay tied to me after all?

[He knew the thread would remain, that meager touch, those pitiful seconds of having his hand held. They had not produced manna, it seems impossible between them, they failed to sync but then he did not expect the result to be any different. Understanding how synchrony functioned he found that the best results came when there was a positive association with the person.

Or if he was eager to bond with them.

He holds no such sentiments towards this man. It's the opposite.

His gaze levels itself on Rokurou before his eyes flicker to the lingering hand over his own. There the thread remains uniting them. No, it is not enough, it could never be but the question makes it clear he has to give or remain attached to this man for who knows how long.]

That question is unnecessary.

[The answer remains the same, given the chance he would have left already.]

But I don't believe this will work, we cannot synchronize.
