Scarab. Ananke. Focus.

[ They take a few steadying breaths, gradually settling Ananke's familiar fidgety energy as Scarab is assured there's no threat here

Reaches out for him ]

[when he reaches out himself, he finds solid hands curling around his. hi.]

[ lets out a shaky breath and squeezes tight, moving close enough to lean in and thunk his forehead against Charon's shoulder ]

Sorry—it's a lot.

Re: Memories

[he doesn't let go of him, a solid presence]

Don't apologize. Just breathe and get through.

[ laughs weakly and sags against him a little ]

At least we remember each other now.

Re: Memories

[endsjustified]

[keeps one hand in Scaranke's and soothes the other over his back]

Fully...? Or just that past history regained?

Re: Memories

[spinebuddyandme]

All of it...I think? A lot of memories from here make more sense if I think about them now.

Re: Memories

[endsjustified]

Goodness.

Well, deep breaths, both of you. That much memory can't be easy to absorb, whether one's a machine or a man.

Re: Memories

[spinebuddyandme]

[ laughs softly and takes another deep breath ]

It really isn't. I'm never doing this again if I can help it.

Re: Memories

[endsjustified]

What made you think to do it all at once like this?

Re: Memories

[spinebuddyandme]

Well...part of it was 'cause I was tired of not remembering the guy living in my head, but the other part was—uh. ...I found out that there's comic books and movies about some members of the Justice League in at least one person's world, and I kinda freaked out about the idea of someone else knowing more about my own world than me.

Crescendo.

Deeply understandable.

Re: Memories

[spinebuddyandme]

[ snorts ]

Thanks for understanding.

Re: Memories

[endsjustified]

I wonder how many other such intersections of worlds exist. The thought is…disturbing.

Re: Memories

[spinebuddyandme]

Super disturbing. I'm trying not to think about it too hard. It feels like I'd be jinxing myself if I let myself worry about it.

Re: Memories

[endsjustified]

Life is life, even if it’s someone else’s story.

Come, let’s find you a distraction.

Re: Memories

[spinebuddyandme]

Yeah, good idea.

[ Straightens up and smooths out his hair and coat ]

... Can I have some wine too?

Re: Memories

[endsjustified]

You’re welcome to the alcohol stores whenever you want them; just drink responsibly and don’t make yourself sick, yes?

Re: Memories

[spinebuddyandme]

Yeah, I'll be careful. I can't disappoint my mom too much.

Re: Memories

[endsjustified]

One should respect one’s mother.

Want company, or just want to sort your thoughts out privately first?

Re: Memories

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Sobers up a little and rubs the back of his neck ]

Um...I think I want company. Especially if I'm gonna be drinking while I think about this stuff.

Re: Memories

[endsjustified]

Certainly. I don’t mind sitting with you awhile; as long as you need it.
