[Bif-whatever -- that’s foreign to Daichi, and far lesser for him to concern himself with than the part that slams into him: Midas.
He’s in Midas.
It’s not surprising, given the information he’s gathered thus far through random acquaintances throughout this area, (Tanagura’s Eos Tower, he’s learned). But it isn’t any less unsettling just because it’s expected. Already, he’s on his feet and sliding on his shoes. There are some shuffling sounds on the line as he does so.]
I’m fine. [That cold steel is still there, though -- not directed at the setter, of course. Daichi’s just not thinking on it enough to dampen it.
Dangerous. Right. He doesn’t want to tell Suga that he’s in one of those places at present, from what the captain knows. But on the other end of that call, unseen, is the face of a dutiful man prepared to go toe-to-toe with whomever or whatever dares to stand in his way of getting there, and getting his teammate out.
There’s a little laugh on the line and some cheery commentary; Sugawara’s gentle way of placating, he knows. Not working right now, but nice try. Are you safe where you are? balks on the tip of his tongue. No, let him rephrase that--]
Dai~chi. [ softly, that perfect mix of teasing and sincere. ] You're letting yourself worry too much, aren't you? I'm fine.
[ he's met some unusual people so far, sure, but no one overtly dangerous. and whether that's the norm or his own good fortune is a pretty unimportant detail, as far as suga's concerned. ] Keep frowning, and you'll wind up with a face full of wrinkles.
[Can he really be blamed for his concern, when Suga clearly isn't worried enough? But, then again, Daichi's already seen some people accosted here in public -- and this is Tanagura, supposedly the "safe" part of Amoi. Surely Midas can only be worse.
It's that knowledge that lends itself to an absolute lack of recognition of, and tolerance for, any and all humor for the time being.]
I'm coming to get you.
[Submitted not for approval, but without room for discussion; spoken like a man on a mission.]
[ ... okay, to be fair, suga probably should have expected that. but he still blows out a little huff on his end of the line, caught somewhere between amusement and exasperation. he'd protest, insist that he can take care of himself just as well as daichi can, but...
when it comes right down to it, it'll be in one ear and out the other. there's no talking daichi down once Captain Mode kicks in. ]
Okay, okay. Just be careful, all right? [ voice as light as ever. ] Don't get yourself in trouble over nothing.

If you’re safe, stay where you are.
