Well, yeah.

[But hey wow. Keith crosses his arms over his chest now.]

We didn't know at the time that that was reckless. I mean, it was just woods. I mean, yeah, in hindsight it was dangerous, but that's in hindsight.

[He's arguing a losing battle here.]

[messianic]

[... Uh huh.]

I think I could argue that not knowing anything about the woods makes it even more reckless...

[But you know--]

...Just be careful, that's all.

[lonered]

I mean, I've walked through woods before and never had anything worse than poison ivy happen.

[Kind of true. He lived somewhere pretty desert-y but he's proving a point here!]

Yeah. I'll be careful. You remember that too.

[messianic]

[............ A blank blink.]

I'll be fine, so...

[He doesn't get it.]

[lonered]

[Minato... why are you like this.

Keith just ducks his head with a sigh.]

Okay. Just make sure you are.

[Keith may keep an eye and ear out to make sure that's the case.]

[messianic]

I'll do my best.

[??]

For now, I guess I'll leave so you can have your room back. [Ha. Oops.]

[lonered]

Uh, yeah. Right... [He holds out the bucket now, not awkwardly at all.]

Here's your bucket.

[This is why you don't have friends, Keith. All of this. Maybe try to be better at it.]

[messianic]

[Oh...]

Thank you.

[He'll take it! Minato does not even seem to notice any awkward, so it's fine?]

And thanks for your help before. Maybe next time, we can do something a little more normal.

[And then they Did Not.]
