I'm just glad it's where everyone can see, so everyone can get it out of their system.

Re: sidelines

[beathollow]

Yeah. ... And- if anything terrible happens Zenith knows I'll be even more upset.




( whispering )

He's a huge softie for us.

[terraria]

( he smiles, gently stroking her hair. )

As he should be.

I'll be here to pick up any pieces.

Re: sidelines

[beathollow]

I-



I really hope it doesn't come to that. Despite everything- they're still my friends...

Re: sidelines

[terraria]

I... hope so as well, Sonata. I really do.

I care about both of you.

Re: sidelines

[beathollow]

... ( sonata will just squeeze his hand gently- )

Re: sidelines

[terraria]

( a small smile to her. he squeezes her hand back. )

You don't hate Thistle, then?

Re: sidelines

[beathollow]

No.

... Or- I don't... think I do. I'm sure it had to do with Yata- they've forsaken others to protect him before, and I can't blame them. I tried to kill a man for Spinel, and I consider myself a pacifist otherwise.

... But... I need to hear the reason explicitly. I need apologies, and... I can't ask for a promise they can't make, but... I just want more care in the future.

But first I need time. And if it turns out that it was because of something else- something I can't accept... then... I suppose we'll have to see.

( sonata is quiet for a while before she finally whispers- )

I didn't want this. But it's the only way Zenith knows how to care.

Re: sidelines

[terraria]

I figured as such...

( which is why he pulls her into a firm hug. )

Rest and take your time. Death and mortality are simply not things you can walk off easily, not even in this place.
