Thanks.

[He's going straight over to him and hugging.]

[giving him a big hug right back.]

Long day, huh?

It's always a long day on Saturdays...

[Sniffles.]

[patting him on the back, just consoling him a bit. there there.]

Not my favorite day. It's alright to be tired. I'm tired, too.

[His breath is a little shaky, but he manages to calm down a bit, though he doesn't pull away from the hug.]

Does it... Do these weeks feel long to you too?

Long and short at the same time. They pass by so quickly - it feels as though all of you just arrived, but also an age since we met. It feels as though Saturday comes again more quickly every time, but Monday was so far away.

I'm sorry this is happening to you, and that we haven't stopped it yet.

[Time is so strange, and the way it gets experienced is so different from person to person. Especially people who have extremely long lives.]

I'm sorry you're going through all of this too. [Was it really nice here? Before everybody showed up and all this murder happened.] ... I don't wanna watch people die anymore.

[was it?]

Neither do I. But I believe fear - [coughing up a few dark purple petals] - fear can cause us to make mistakes.

[ A mystery to solve. ]

There's a lotta stuff can make us make mistakes.
graverot: (cerasse)

[personal profile] graverot 2022-04-03 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. But fear is one that has been on my mind with some frequency.

Of things changing and the refractions?
graverot: (bay laurel)

[personal profile] graverot 2022-04-03 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm. The first one, especially. Change is hard. Feeling responsible for people is also hard.

[personal profile] 9mon 2022-04-03 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know a lot about feeling responsible for a big group of people... I think... sometimes change is good? It might be scary, but sometimes it's better then where you were before.

[oh. a small smile.]

I think you might be right. Time to be brave, huh?
9mon: (007)

[personal profile] 9mon 2022-04-03 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. And don't forget, you're not alone.
graverot: (lemon balm)

[personal profile] graverot 2022-04-03 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I know. Neither are you. We'll figure it out together.
9mon: (116)

[personal profile] 9mon 2022-04-04 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
[He manages an honest, warm smile.]

We will. Whatever it is, we'll face it together.

[haha sorry your life is about to fall apart in like a day, precious kiddo. patting him on the back.]
