[If Dazai outright called him defenseless and dependent Chuuya might just kick him with those tiny little legs, but right now he’s too focused on getting himself back to normal. Chuuya hates feeling powerless like this, but it’s not the first time he’s been completely at Dazai’s mercy, either. He doesn’t feel unsafe, just irritated that he can’t even walk anywhere on his own right now. It’s made worse by Dazai’s shit-eating grin and teasing comments, and Chuuya yanks a strand of his hair much harder this time.]

The peanut gallery should stay silent, because they’re not funny.

[Chuuya tries to settle in as Dazai starts walking forward again, pulling his tiny knees up to his chest.]

And I guess you just got lucky, not running into any problems.

[If he sounds a little bitter it’s because he is. It seems like Chuuya is the one who keeps falling victim to ridiculous circumstances lately, and he keeps having to rely on people to assist him. Maybe one day he’ll be the one doing the saving. Maybe.]

You have plenty of reasons to fix this too, you know.

[Chuuya can’t exactly provide any kind of company like this, aside from the kind you might lavish on a particularly tiny pet.]

I really gotta learn some magic.
