[ One moment he's lying there, and it's warm and soft and perfect. You know that moment when you move slightly in bed and just end up in the perfect spot and all the planets are aligned? That's where Haku is at right about now, he could lie here for the rest of the day given the chance--
Except instead of his bladder giving him a rude awakening as usually happens in that situation, it's instead Eiri slipping away, leaving him lying there a lot less soft and more cold. And just generally less comfortable. Rude, Eiri.
Then again, it's not like he really could have explained - either to himself or to Eiri - just why it was so comfortable for him to lie there like that with Eiri, so he doesn't mention anything. Instead he just keeps lying there, rolling over onto his side so he can look at the way Eiri is sitting there with the box.
.. and starts scolding him. On top of everything. It's a good thing that Haku can react so calmly to anything ever (or most things, anyway), really. ]
Is that really the biggest thing I should worry about?
[ Seriously. If there's anyone who knows just how bad the mortality rate is for members of Sakura, then it's Haku Mitsuni. He's seen how many people die, because he's seen them die over and over and over again. If he might as well die during a mission tomorrow, should he really then have to worry about the state of his teeth or body in the future?
It's not that he actively wants to die, not at all, but.. well, when you're sort of broken to begin with and you keep losing the people important to you every single time? You just start to get a little less worried about self-preservation than most people, that's all.
He even manages to say it in a casual way with a fitting expression as he looks at the other. ]
We spend all day dodging bullets, I think those are a little more dangerous than a few pieces of candy.
[ And demonstratively he's taking a piece out of the half-consumed box that Eiri's holding out to him, plopping it straight into his own mouth. ]
