You just jumped off the railing and you're the one who's confused?

[What is he really supposed to be 'what the fuck'ing about, here.]

[bakudan_bambino]

Well yeah. Uri can't fly. I've got my storm disc, so it's not a problem.

[Gokudera doesn't see what's so odd.]

[saunteredvaguelydownwards]

[Of course he doesn't see what's so odd. Young men launching themselves off railings over drops of Someone knows how far is a perfectly normal, natural thing to be doing.]

Okay, alright, but just bear with me here--

[Allow him a moment to draw a breath in through his teeth.]

How was I supposed to know that?

[bakudan_bambino]

[Gokudera nods and then blinks in surprise. He really should not assume that what he did was okay.

At all.]

Why the fuck would I jump over the railing if I thought I was gonna die!?

[saunteredvaguelydownwards]

[This would be a good time to facepalm. Crowley resists.]

Look, I've been watching humans do stupid shit for thousands of years. It wouldn't be the strangest thing I'd ever seen one of you do.

[bakudan_bambino]

[Sorry Crowley.]

So then why are you surprised?

[Shouldn't the unpredictable stuff be really predictable at this point?]

[saunteredvaguelydownwards]

[spLUTTER.]

Just because I'm used to seeing humans do stupid things doesn't mean I want to see it happen.

[How dare you make him admit he cares about people!]

[bakudan_bambino]

Whether you want to see it or not, I mean why would it be surprising?!

[saunteredvaguelydownwards]

[Just-- just give him a moment with this.]

I really feel like you're focusing on the wrong thing, here. When did I say I was surprised?

[bakudan_bambino]

You did not say it directly. Based off your reaction, I thought you were.

[He shrugs. What‘s the point of this conversation, for him to get tugged around a bunch?]

[saunteredvaguelydownwards]

[There are options here, and if Crowley were a nicer or more patient person he would probably not take the one he chooses. Unfortunately, Crowley isn't a patient (or nice, regardless of what Aziraphale says) person.]

Okay, this is going nowhere. I've got other things to do. Enjoy your base jumping, kid.

[And he turns on his heel to walk away, pulling a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it with a small snap of fire from his fingers.]
