[In the end... it doesn't matter. Even if Nobunaga was right, he can't fix it by trying to defend that. That's not how people, life, politics, and all of it works. He DOES know better. He still wants to rage at Klaus, or at least bite him, but fuck it. It's not fair to always force Klaus to be the adult, right? Well, almost always. A LOT.]
[He gets it. Klaus couldn't handle it. He got overwhelmed. Nobunaga wonders idly if he had a pact with Valdis too, but definitely not before, not when Klaus always told him they did stuff together. He'd just said Nobunaga needed to respect Valdis' better or he'd give him the silent treatment. So. Great. Again, Nobunaga is annoyed, but he's numb enough, and HAS to assume the fault is his own as a tactician to work around this, because it's ineffective to do anything else. He can change HIMSELF, not them.]
[He puts up zero resistance to Klaus, he has none, just lays on the floor. It's uncomfy. Klaus deserves better than floors. At least Nobunaga still has pants on, okay.]
I don't want you to-- [Lose sight of himself, obviously. But the rest, Nobunaga just lets Klaus talk.]
[Nobunaga does feel betrayed. And abandoned. -- Except for Teyrey obvs. But even VALDIS had his back better!] I didn't plan anything with Yato! [He can't help it, he meant to be--] By the time I was ready to get him and say hang waiting for Teyrey and Valdis, the Captain called us. I planned ONLY with you! And that wasn't enough either!
[He wants to push Klaus off and fight, but he doesn't, red eyes just narrow.] I didn't call you weak for disagreeing with me. [All low growls.]
[He'll listen, completely, but he can't ignore that one or it'll fester and hurt them both, he knows.]
[He doesn't give a fuck about blame either. He'll take all of it, he usually does, because it's faster, effective, just --]
[Even on the floor tiles, all the hair on his neck and spine stand on end ready to fight.]
[He's not demanding everyone stand with him, maybe just not against him, maybe just tell him and -- no, he's NOT going to tell his instincts to shut up, or they'll all die.] Stop thinking I was willing to risk you, I told you trying to do otherwise is what got me in trouble, pa--
[And... they all fall. The hairs, the anger, his tense shoulder muscles.]
[He tsun-glances sideways and sings the Elton John song.] I won't go breaking your heart. [Just the one line, but a promise. Because Nobunaga's heart WAS broken. Did Klaus understand that yet? It could get worse though so. He just lays on the floor. Klaus would have to move first, after all.]
