...yeah. We talked about the before, I remember. [ that must be pretty isolating, yeah. they're quiet for a moment. ]
... Hate to say it, but people here are going to die no matter what. Even if you're from the same place, if you don't have that connection, then... it's gonna feel weird, but I don't think you're obligated to mourn it, either.
no subject
Not really. We really only get to talk to people who come to talk to us, so.
no subject
[they're too outgoing for this.]
no subject
Yeah. 's my task. [ aquila he didnt even ask for anything. this is mumbled into their arm. ] Go find people and make them come talk to me.
no subject
[he shifts, settling in more comfortably.]
...will you speak of whatever has you in such a mood, today, or are you unable to do so.
no subject
's not a mood. [ this is a very faint protest. ] I just. Iunno, I'm getting tired of this.
no subject
[he sighs, shakes his head.]
Do you begin to regret your choice?
no subject
[ immediately.
a beat. ] You know me. Don't really regret my choices.
...Just sucks not to be able to do anything.
no subject
[he's sure he knows. it's part of what makes all of this worse.]
Only being able to solve it after the fact, but never to prevent it. Knowing it shall continue. It is wearying.
no subject
[ they sigh, bigger, rolling onto their back and folding their gloved hands on their chest. ]
Sorry. I don't mean to be depressing - know you didn't want to talk business.
no subject
[after a few moments, he exhales a breath and just. rests his good hand on top of theirs.]
... I wonder if I ought to feel worse about it, that it was him.
no subject
... they tilt their head a bit. ] That it was Kazunari?
no subject
[...but, well. he's not that upset about it.]
Mm. I suppose it is simply somewhat isolating, overall, in comparison. To not have arrived with anyone I already had ties to.
[having this happen to one of the only others from the prism just sort of outlines that more.]
no subject
...yeah. We talked about the before, I remember. [ that must be pretty isolating, yeah. they're quiet for a moment. ]
... Hate to say it, but people here are going to die no matter what. Even if you're from the same place, if you don't have that connection, then... it's gonna feel weird, but I don't think you're obligated to mourn it, either.
no subject
[a longer pause.]
Coming here directly from the Prism -- I think I am growing accustomed to it, as they are.
no subject
[ ...
their fingers twitch a little under his. ]
's a shit thing to have to get used to.
no subject
Are you?
[used to it.]
no subject
No.
no subject
Whether you chose this duty or not-
I am sorry that you are here.
[if he's right, then
it's his fault.]
no subject
Should really be me saying that to you. [ they're a little stiff again, but, it might just be the conversation topic. ]
Don't worry so much about me, huh...? Don't get too in your head about it.
no subject
[it's not that easy.
anyway speaking of him being stupid about feelings it's sunday of memshare. they get a gay one this time.]
no subject
well
they just laugh? they laugh, like they can't help it at first, startled out of them, turning their face into their shoulder. ]
no subject
[SHOVING AT THEM WITH HIS GOOD HAND fuck]
no subject
Hahahaha - ha, sorry. Sorry! Just didn't... whew.
no subject
[he's still a little flustered at that memory, maybe.]
no subject
[ whooo. they're on the edge of the bed now, and they just stay there, reaching up to wipe a tear under their veil. ]
You didn't say it back, huh?
