"Yes, I am aware. s**t is going on all day," Shun grunted. He went and checked the time. It was starting to get a little late. Letting out a breath, he just turned off the tv for the time being.

"You made it seem like you were done," he shrugged.

"Me, or you?"
She snorted and set her drink back on the table, standing up only to do a 180 and move towards him. "Deal's a deal, yeah?" She waited to see how receptive he was before doing more.

"You."
Shun watched Chel as she got on up. He didn't make any immediate movements, however. There were a number of things running through his mind right now, none which he cared to share out loud. Basically, he had a choice. There was always a choice.
"Deal is a deal," he nodded.

She crawled onto his lap and fingers curled in his hair.
"You know, you always look like yer holdin' somethin' back. How come you never share with the class?" More than likely it was just more insults or something about how he hated everyone (particularly her), but it didn't mean Chel wasn't still curious.

The detective closed his eyes, letting out a sigh.
"There is no reason for me to do so. My thoughts are my own. And it shall remain that way," he uttered before staring up at her.

"And yer at peace with that?" she asked him, tilting her head slightly, unable to comprehend the notion of keeping any part of one's self ... to one's self.
"S'at why you don't drink? You one of those cryin' drunks that just pours everythin' out?"

"I am perfectly fine with it. There is no reason to announce everything to the world," he replied as he rested his hands at her waist.
"And hardly. Not that you will ever see what happens should I become drunk anyway."
Not if he could help it.

"Not ... announcin' t'the world. You don't ever need like ... someone t'talk to when s**t goes south?" She couldn't comprehend perfectly fine with it. It sounded insane to her.

Shun grunted lowly, "Because I do not need that. If s**t is going down in my life, I can deal with it on my own. Besides, anything you confide into anyone is something they could end up using that against you."
A pause.
"And before you say anything about how 'friends do not do that to one another'... well. People change. A 'friend' could just as well be an enemy sometime down the line. It does not take much."

"Naw, naw s'fair," she responded. "Just ... sounds lonely, 'as all. 'Cause you spend so much time thinkin' people are gonna betray you ... makes life dull as ******** when they do." Chel could oddly agree with the sentiment, even if her strategy around it was different from his. She chose to brunt through betrayal, Shun chose to avoid it altogether.
She snorted. "But-" Her hand moved down his hairline to rest on his neck below his ear, thumb lightly on his jawline. "People change fer the better, too, y'know. An enemy could-" She mimicked his voice, albeit badly. "Just as well be a friend sometime down the line." She glanced at him. "Don't take much."

"I would rather see it coming, than to take the knife to the back. I am not lonely. I would not chose solitude if I felt that way," Shun quietly said. It wouldn't make much sense to him if he wanted to have people close to him but kept everyone at bay.
"Maybe. I suppose that is technically possible."
He lifted his head a little more.
"You do s**t impersonations by the way."
