repine \rih-PINE\ , intransitive verb:

2. To long for something.
Crawford watched Takatori swing and hit Farfarello with his golf club, next he attacked Schuldig. Bruises were forming on Schuldig's face. Neither of them were processing pain the way Takatori thought they would.
Farfarello's face was blank and only glee came to Schuldig's. Crawford knew them well enough to understand both were experiencing deep longings at this moment: Farfarello wanted to feel the pain, and Schuldig wanted more of it.
Takatori was expressing extreme discontent with Schwarz at the moment. After all, Schuldig and Farfarello had screwed up, and Ouka was dead. Crawford had to admit at the moment he was irritated with Schuldig; Farfarello was a cold killer, but Schuldig should have reigned him in.
Crawford grabbed Takatori's golf club before he could swing at his men again. He then convinced Takatori into taking out his revenge for Ouka's death on Weiss, not Schwarz. The man was easily convinced, and Crawford grew satisfied with the situation. This was the excuse he needed to move against Weiss without Takatori getting suspicious of his motives.
It felt good to have some breathing room. He was growing more weary of being Takatori's tool. It was only a matter of time before Schwarz could get rid of him.
After they left Takatori's office, Crawford rode down in the elevator with his two men. Schuldig's excitement was hard to miss, it bubbled from his mind in a frenzy. Farfarello, on the other hand, appeared sullen.
:This works out to our favor nicely,: Crawford thought clearly so Schuldig could pick it up.
The redhead's smile grew devilish. :I really long for a chance to pay back Weiss.:
:It'll be here sooner than you think.:
