[they nod.]

Understood. Then...

[they'll hold out their hands, which emit a soft glow. healing results to be thrown your way shortly!]

[unsaid]

[are they going to hold hands....

jiji is going to hold cetus' hands. tender.]

[guestservices]

[








that was incredibly unnecessary actually but you do you, jiji.]

[unsaid]

[dreamwidth said 'fuck you dana you don't get the healing notification' this is so funny imagine if i didn't check

anyway,]

Dear Aquila informed me that he could not heal me without touch.

[but also it is kinda funny to just still be holding cetus' hands]

[guestservices]

... I see. Well, mine doesn't require touch, although I suppose it doesn't... hurt...?

[is

is mikazuki going to let go once he's healed]

[unsaid]

[no but he's also not holding on that tight so cetus can pull away when they want]

You are awfully patient.

[guestservices]

[yeah, when mikazuki isn't letting go, cetus will pull their hands back themself. sorry, jiji.]

Patience is a virtue.

[unsaid]

[he doesn't really mind]

Certainly it is.

... and though I had asked already on how you are, might I ask your thoughts on the results of today?

[guestservices]

[a hum]

Unfortunate, though maybe not surprising.

[unsaid]

Oh? Did you expect such an outcome to eventually be inevitable?

[guestservices]

Not necessarily inevitable, but I wouldn't say it was unlikely either. Time seems to work against you.

[unsaid]

It makes one wonder where the idea is developed that nine hours is the standard for these experiences.

... though I suppose in some, it does prove to be time enough.

[guestservices]

I guess if there have been enough successes, it sets the standard.

[a beat]

Also, the task for your healing is to confess a genuine and significant regret to two different people, neither of whom can be from your previous session.

[unsaid]

[he seems amused]

And still yet I cannot include you?

[guestservices]

[suffer]

Is there a reason you'd want to? But that's right—I wouldn't count.

[unsaid]

I felt I talked around it last time, and yet I come to see you so often and I open up so little...

If I was in your position, I would certainly be left terribly curious.

[because you're a nosey old man!!]

[guestservices]

I won't say I'm not curious... although that still doesn't change the restriction of your task.

[unsaid]

[a soft gasp]

You’re curious about me?

[don’t sound excited]

[guestservices]

I feel like I shouldn't have said that now.

[unsaid]

[hehehehe]

You likely should not have.

[amused]

… let us walk to the wisteria trees. Have you been since we planted them?

[guestservices]

I've been in the courtyard a few times.

[unsaid]

[nodding]

Then let us go admire the fruits of our labor once more.

[and mikazuki will walk in that direction, pleased to have his leggies back in working order. even though he's like. not changing in speed from before he was healed, help]

... what do you make of history, dear Cetus? Do you believe it unchanging, or malleable?

[guestservices]

[your grandpa snail pace jiji]

Time travel's not exactly my thing.

[unsaid]

[yea he's slow,]

Does it need to be 'your thing' for you to possess an opinion on it?

[guestservices]

[cetus will at least... adjust their own pace...]

I haven't spent much time thinking on things that I'd never expect to be relevant to me.
