“ And why should that be my concern? ” He was fascinated by Ryuk’s flexibility, but even that didn’t excuse the God of Death’s behavior. It looked like he forgot his place. Light was the notebook’s owner, and he was the pet that came with it, not the other way around. “ Here. I have to go buy some more, but these should be enough for now. You said there are no more hidden cameras in the house, right? ” Hopefully he was right. If L saw him talking to nobody in particular, it would have been suspicious.
Light considered just about everything to be out of turn considering the circumstances. Having L. on their asses certainly wasn’t helping the palpable tension in the room. And hell, if he was gonna get pissed on for trying to remind Light of the fact that he got REALLY fucked up without his fix, then what was the point in--
Focus Ryuk, FOCUS! He has the Note. AND he’s fun, so maybe do what he says just to be a nice guy? ...Right. A nice guy. Ho ho ho... Sure.
He assumes that dumb grin he often gave Light in situations such as this - the dumbfounded puppy-dog one - enough to suggest that indeed, he was Light’s insurmountable immortal pet - a god of death, reduced to THIS.
Or so his PEERS must have thought. Eh, fuck ‘em. The hell do THEY know anyways?
“Heh heh... fair enough. Yer th' boss.” He responds easily. Light was a fucking smartass, but then again... SO WAS RYUK, minus the “smart” part. Assholes stuck together, didn’t they? Seemed about right. “Yeah. I looked. Those 60-something cameras're gone now. Looks like th' microphones are too - I mean, there’s no statick-y sounds, so that’s good, right?”
“‘Cause that’d be fucked if there were. ‘Cept I don’t think there’s any. Wouldn’t your sister or parents have found any other microphones by now? Or c’mon... YOU’D know.”
