[ Those words were pretty logical, but Kamui didn't want to give up yet. He didn't want to tell himself that they have reached their end of the rope, and there was nowhere to run.
That it was possible that he could lose his brother. No he didn't want to believe that yet.]
...so you want to give up, Subaru? [Maybe he's already lost his brother.
But...selfishly he still wanted to cling on to him.]
I have still have no intention of having that man reach you. I don't care if we have to walk the entire desert to elude him.
You would leave all that you know in this place and escape..just for me? Even knowing we may never be able to escape him?
[As much as Subaru wants to believe he is the most important to Kamui, he knows there are ties to this city that he will be unwilling to sever. And though running with his brother is all he has ever been willing to hold onto, he wouldn't want to be the one to cause such sadness for him.]
....[Kamui found it hard to immediately say yes. If he had no attachments then that answer would have came easily. But now...things were complicated.
Even with how willing he was to run away from Seishirou with Subaru, in the back of his mind, he still felt he could return. And everything could go back to normal. What he's been accustomed to.
He couldn't answer his brother's question...but instead...]
...tell me, Subaru. What is it that you wish to do?
[That hesitation is all the answer that Subaru needed. He could not ask his brother to leave this place.]
I wish to understand what he wants, but doing so could come at the greatest of prices. One you have spent years trying to help me avoid paying. I'm not willing to let all that time be for nothing.
But that is the problem..we do not know. He has never given a straight answer to anything. I would like to say he would not harm us..but if that is true, why did we run in the first place?
[Subaru wants to believe nothing more then to think Seishirou's intentions are pure.]
[ Kamui is closemouthed about the reason they ran. Feeling partially guilty. Part of it was how dangerous Seishirou seemed to him,but another part was....very selfish.]
[Subaru is silent for a moment and then sighs softly.]
It would be selfish to pull you from this city and those you care about. And hiding within the city will do us no good. Confronting him is the only option.

But buy us time for what? What good is it to resist when we have no ability to escape?

If you receive your answers, will you feel the need to keep running?
no subject
I don't know. I imagine it will depend on the answers. If he wishes to hunt to kill, then I will fight to live..or run to do so.
Though perhaps if he finally gets what he wants..at least then you could have the chance to stop running.
no subject
And I won't be okay with that. You going alone and being in some kind of danger. Especially if it could be avoided.
...We can't run, but maybe we could hide. [Which isn't a very choice either.]
no subject
[Subaru wants to believe nothing more then to think Seishirou's intentions are pure.]
Where would we hide?
no subject
...Somarium has underground tunnels.
no subject
[To hide away in a tunnel like a criminal..would they really be satisfied with such a life?]
Is that really much different then running into the desert?
no subject
Or...we confront him.

[There is another pause..]
But that is something I wish to do alone.
no subject
[ It seemed like their only option, but Kamui wasn't keen on it.
He didn't want Subaru alone with that man. Anything could happen.]
...why must you go alone?
no subject
[Plus his brother is likely to fight now-talk later as soon as he is face to face with Seishirou. That is something he would like to avoid.]
I can handle this and if I find myself in trouble, I will contact you.
no subject
...I don't like this.
[But he knew it was Subaru was thinking logically.]

...fine. But be careful, and call me if anything arises,okay?
