[ They would have made good splints too, if Inaho had done any worse. ]
This place has a way of making you think that, yeah. [ He recalls whatever-it-is that possessed him to climb the cherry tree back then. No point in blaming anyone for something they can't help. ]
[Once the other seems to be at a stopping point, he pulls his arm reflexively back against his abdomen, turning to look at Kuroo as he shrugs slightly.]
We were all trained to deal with the inevitable invasion of Earth by Vers. When they finally did we were conscripted into the UFE and stationed aboard a battleship known as the Deucalion.
Only certain things. Self defense, weapons training, piloting, and first aid.
[He stares at Kuroo for a second before his gaze shifts back to the water and he goes silent.]
Most people don't have to understand it. It's a different world after all, one that has been at war with the Vers empire for a long time. I've never thought about what a life without a threat of war would be like.
Is it any worse than being in here? [ After all, there's no war here, and Kuroo knows that, as a civilian living in a peaceful era, he really has no frame of reference for these kinds of things. ]
[He's always pretty much in the same sort of situation.]
Actually, it might be better.
[The only reason is that he thinks of Calm, Rayet, Inko and his sister as well as the crew of the Deucalion. He wouldn't want them there, and he would also want Asseylum there even less. He sighs softly and stretches his arm with the splint out. Of course those were private thoughts to himself. It wasn't something he would admit.]

You had to get tossed in there too, didn’t you? [ he says that offhandedly as he squats next to Inaho and begins rummaging in his first aid kit. ]
no subject
Yes.
[If not he probably would have ended up killing someone.]
no subject
Can you give me your wrist? I got a proper splint here we could use.
no subject
I thought what I was doing was logical. I hurt several people.
[Desk legs are good weapons.]

[He says it, and while the other does what he does to splint his wrist, he looks at the water.]
There is a difference between myself and the others around me.
no subject
Yeah. You said you were some kinda soldier, right? [ That really does explain a lot to him, anyway. ]

Only about half of those made sense to me. [ Work on your people skills some more, Inaho, omfg ]
But I get it. Whatever it is, it's pretty big, so you're trained in all sorts of things, right?

[He's serious about that too. If he had wanted to kill Slaine the other would have been extremely hurt or maimed.]

I know; I know. [ That incident seems to have amplified a certain aspect of the victims' personalities, right? ]
I didn't figure you having a reckless side, though.

[You know, like attacking someone and being outmatched?]
I guess this is a good place to end?
I'll remember that. [ Or get beat up trying. ]
