You don't want to meet Monty, [ he says, lips pursed and looking just a tad bit petulant, actually, ] He likes astrology. [ but because he's got to be fair, he huffs and adds, ] I mean, he did save my ass eventually, back in crow form, so... I guess he's fine.

[ and then he's forgetting all about monty, because junpei is fixing him with a look, and he promptly loses all ability to worry about anything else except him, and the way the eventual answer makes him frown. ]

Hey, [ he says instead, lifting his hand and cupping junpei's cheek. ] Those other timelines... they're not your responsibility. I know you know that, but just — making sure, yeah?
