[Semi flinches.] Nothing! [But who is he kidding, Kunimi's right.]
Urk - okay maybe something. He got mad at me, like really mad, and this time I legitimately don't know why. [Because yeah he knows he's overbearing and annoying sometimes, but there was more to it this time around. He leans on his fist.] He said something about the past so...........
[ Ah. Semi's question now makes sense. Kunimi rests his chin in his hand and wracks his brain for something, anything to help his dumb brother out. ] What about the past? [ Because that... could mean a fair number of things, he thinks. ]
Like how he hasn't forgotten what "we've" done. [He makes a face.] Humans have been pretty shitty to each other, I guess. But what does that have to do with Taguel?
[ Kunimi just looks at him for a moment, obviously a little shocked, before he says slowly. ] ... You really don't know?
[ Oh, Semi. Ohhhhh, Semi you are so, so dumb. And while he tries his best to pick his words carefully, if only for Semi's sake, there's really no delicate way to say this. ]
[It's not like Semi's never read a damn book in his life, but he does not recall any historical collection talking about the exTINCTION OF AN ENTIRE RACE. Semi sweats.]
That's not funny, Akira.
[He's gotta be kidding ohmygod please be kidding Semi knows he's an idiot but not this much of an idiot please!!!]
[ Sorry Semi, but you might actually be that much of an idiot. ] Around ten years ago, a group of humans committed a mass genocide against the Taguel. There weren't supposed to be any survivors.
[ But, well. There's Shirabu. And Kunimi doesn't think Semi needs his help putting two and two together here. ]
[He can't be that much of an idiot when he's never in his life read anything about this or heard anyone talk about it. There was a point in his life where he traveled a lot doing odd jobs, never staying in one place long enough to hear any gossip, but he still should have heard something? Especially when he cares about people as much as he does?
The shock and distress are very clear on Semi's face as he processes all this.] So I pretty much told Shirabu that the murder of his people didn't matter. That's what you're telling me.
Eita... [ Unsure of what to say (he's never been good at comforting people. he says thing as they are, often with little regard to the other person's feelings. not out of malice, by any means - he's just not good at this.) he rests his hand on Semi's shoulder. ]
[ Kunimi can't imagine Lord Oikawa being too happy about that one... but Semi absolutely doesn't need salt rubbed into his wounds. So that hand on his shoulder turns into a half embrace as he quietly says ] I'm sorry.
[ Because Kunimi doesn't have a lot of reassurance for him when it's a definite possibility no one will see Shirabu ever again. ]

We nearly drove the Taguel to extinction.
