[mankind's natural predator -- a highly restricted diet, he'd told another; hadn't even thought that the man wouldn't pick up what foodstuff that pushed the ghouls toward. but Lancer hadn't asked, and Hide hadn't told, and now it was a truth hidden.]
[it made sense.]
[more importantly, it got Kaneki talking about it. over text, which wasn't ideal, but a start was a start, and Hideyoshi would take it.]

[which... was surprising, honestly. ghouls weren't a perpetual fear for most citizens; nonetheless, it was like imagining the ocean without sharks. only worse, what with ghouls being a sentient group of their own - and the center of both of their lives for the past, what, year? a little less? close enough.]
hey--
[a catch in thought, his mind running itself into a wall to force a stop. it last for a sharp four seconds (on his end, anyway) before he realized what toned it needed to be in, and then it wasn't so bad that they were text-based.]
[this sort of concern used to be fly-away. a comment that diverged into teasing the moment a decision was made clear. no matter his tone, even Hide couldn't avoid acknowledging the tension he was practically asking for.]
