[rude. punching his way through problems is like 85% of how he functions in life.]
I mean...back then, I was supposed to ask questions to figure out who was who. Maybe if we have a question that everyone knows the answer to, we'd know if anyone changes? Punching anyone who's acting weird can be the backup plan.
[And just like, in general, good practice in his opinion ok.]
[He is trying SO HARD and Kurama is just unsure how else to make his point-]
Yusuke, when I transform back to my former self before meeting any of you and don't recall this place at all, do you suppose I will remember a designated safe word?
I only mean a password would be unnecessary, however, if it would make everyone more comfortable to have one...
[They're getting there.]
Perhaps I have simply been- fortunate, thus far. Deception hardly seems to be anyone's goal. Difficult to spot transformation may be an experience I have yet to witness.
[we're being real loose with the definition of fortunate, here.]
[ Hi, this is grandpa Hiei interjecting again, still talking in to the tablet with only the top of his hair showing instead of his face, but his tone is decidedly... excited? At the very least he is more animated than usual, though his face isn't showing to see if it's at all reflected in his expression. ]
Kurama and I have been in the woods, actually. [ That's not really unusual, of course, this is Hiei and Kurama, but - ]
He reverted to his fox form, for a little while.
[ And of course Hiei had to stay with him, as an unrepentant Kurama fandemon. ]
[That is absolutely out of his mouth before he can think better if it. He has been trying not to let on how embarrassing this has all been for him, and Yusuke directly asking was enough of a problem. Is he oblivious to Hiei's excitement or trying to sweep it under the rug? Probably the former, honestly. He exhales a breath before following up with perhaps the lamest excuse for such an outburst possible.]
I'm sure Yusuke is not concerned about something so mundane.
[It's cute that you think Yusuke would not be concerned with something like that, Kurama. He's not quite as excited as Hiei, obviously, but it is kind of neat to think about seeing his friend in a way he never has before. Even so:]
[ A certain fire demon is definitely pouting over here about being shut down in his excitement over Kurama’s fox form. Sue him, it had been interesting so far as he could see it.
And besides, it isn’t like he has other forms beside the green demon who never was after the blood to the eye incident. ]
Yes. Kurama has a multitude to choose from compared to the rest of us.
[Yes, his original form, yes it was weird as hell. Yes, Hiei being hype about it is somehow weirder and more embarrassing? He's not going to analyze that one enough to explain it.
As for what Hiei says:]
Yes, that does come with the territory, I'm afraid.

[Fortunate sure is a choice of words, though. Yusuke considers, a moment, if it's worth digging into, and then decides, fuck it.]
...Anyway, you asked about everyone else but how're you doing?
[calling u out buddy!!]
