[retellers]

Okay...

[ they press one foot against the planetarium wall, pausing for a moment, and then...

they run right up it as if gravity isn't a thing, before they climb onto the rooftop. ]

[suddenlybees]

[ Ooh...

Kano claps for the feat, round of applause as loud as he can, and then shouts so his voice can be heard all the way up there on the roof. ]

Wow! Amazing! Now do the worm!

[retellers]

[ they peer down at kano. confused, ]

The "worm"? I don't see any worms up here...

[suddenlybees]

The wiggly thing— don't make me have to show you too!

[ He huffs, arms dropping to his side. ]

Hey, like, can I get a lift? Got some rooftop talk I wanna have.

[retellers]

Okay.

[ they jump back down. ]

Do you want me to carry you...?

[suddenlybees]

Not like... "carry" carry... Can you, like, hoist me up by the back of my shirt or something?

[ After how the day's been going, he doesn't want to be carried......... but he wants to be up there on the roof. ]

[retellers]

I can do that, if that's what you want...

[ though they seem a little awkward as they grab the back of kano's shirt. no lifting just yet--looks like they're waiting to make sure this is really okay...? ]

[suddenlybees]

[ ...Kano leans to the side and pokes Goat's cheek, right under the right eye. ]

Man, you're just like number nine, huh? I'm asking you, aren't I?

[retellers]

[ they don't especially react to the poke, though they look confused. ]

I don't know what you mean by that... but all right.

[ and then, with that one hand, they lift kano off the ground without any visible effort. ]

[suddenlybees]

Number nine. What's his name...? Ko— uwahh!

[ No effort, and no warning either, as Kano yelps and goes still in Goat's grasp. ]

Konoha? Awakening? Mister Combat Specialist??

[retellers]

I do not know the name.

[ and then still without warning, they run up the wall again, holding onto kano. remember that you asked for this! ]

[suddenlybees]

Yeah, but you—-

[ oof, he cannot make conversation while being hoisted up a wall, and despite not wanting to be carried and literally asking for this, he ends up clinging to Goat's arm for dear life anyways until they reach the roof, and a little after too until the nausea passes. ]

[retellers]

[ they kind of just

drop kano onto the roof. it's probably not as gentle as it could've been, sorry kano. unless kano was clinging to their arm too hard, anyway. ]

Are you all right?

[suddenlybees]

[ He sure was death gripping it all the way up, so that after Goat lets go there's a moment where he's still clinging and then he lets himself plop down onto the ground the rest of the way. ]

Ugh... No way, no way. That guy got you too, huh? You're gonna tell me that, like all those other masked guys, you don't remember anything, right?

[retellers]

That's correct.

[suddenlybees]

Huh. Yeah. I'm, like, nobody worth remembering, but you said something like that to me before too.

[ He picks himself off the floor and dusts off his backside, trying to peer past Goat's mask. ]

Aren't you just Konoha? You, like, came over and had dinner and slept on the couch and everything?

[retellers]

[ there is nothing to peer at, kano!! ]

I-I don't know what you're talking about...

[ distress ]

[suddenlybees]

[ Squints!!!!!!! ]

Take off your mask.

[retellers]

No. I'm not allowed to.

[suddenlybees]

Says who? Fox says there's no boss. C'mon, I'm not gonna tell on you.

[retellers]

No.

[ :T ]

[suddenlybees]

[ T:

Kano's going to risk broken arms reaching up and trying to grab for Goat's mask. A rooftop is a great place to do this. ]

[retellers]

[ they step back. kano, no. ]

[suddenlybees]

[ This roof is limited space, he will trot after Goat everywhere they go. ]

Aw, come on, it's just me! Buddy? Pal? Are you embarrassed? 'cause of your eyes?

[retellers]

[ confusing increasing,,, ]

My eyes? I don't understand...
