[ ...

wait. ]

Did you flip it to decide if you'd talk to me or not?

[transmit]

Something like that…

[ Well, more accurately, it was to determine how annoying he should be about certain things but that's close. ]

You didn't seem happy with me.

[oversea]

I was concerned. You were dying one moment, fine the next, but acting oddly. Of course I'd have questions.

[ the safety of those he cares about will always be a top concern. ]

And then you kept running off on me without a word.

[


okay that is not as unusual but it was weird because of the timing of the ditching. ]

[transmit]

[ sorry but he has one (1) meaningful thing to say here ]





You walked away first…

[ Waking up at the river counts as a formative memory, ]

[oversea]

[ OKAY.... die actually. ]

It didn't seem like you wanted me around.

[transmit]

[ Well. Since his head is conveniently where it is, he just knocks theirs together. ]

We were thinking the same thing.

[ he is so amused by this. ]

Do you feel like everything's been answered now, at least?

[oversea]

Mostly...

[ anything he's still curious about would have to wait for when elysium regains his memory. if he regains it? hm. ]

For someone who knows so much about that other topic, you must have experienced it.

[transmit]

[ if… what a big if. ]

Hm? That's just people on the landship coming to me with all sorts of troubles.

Do you feel like you're more curious about it now?

[oversea]

I'm not sure about curious. I've avoided this sort of thing so far.

[ it's very easy to not date when you are busy chasing after sword techniques and everyone always thought you were an asshole. ]

[transmit]

… Me too. I always thought it'd be more trouble than it's worth.

[ a laugh. ]

It's easy to give advice and look at things objectively.

[oversea]

You were decent at it.

[ please give a better compliment.

he looks back down at their hands and raises them slightly. ]

I was actually looking for you that day to do this.

[transmit]

[ If only he knew how valuable that compliment was…

His eyes are closed again, but his brow furrows. ]

The day I went missing? Me specifically?

[oversea]

My hands were freezing because of this place, and it was the only way to warm them up. So I went to find you.

[ and he was forced to hold hands with randos... ]

[transmit]

[ Think about the cute friendships you made, Thorns…(?) ]

… Yeah? And how are your hands feeling now?

[oversea]

[ he made none. ]

They feel fine.

[ one is... occupied? ]

[transmit]

I'll be better about being around next time.

[ He has no basis for this either. ]

Whose hands can even come close to comparing to mine? No one's.

[oversea]

Rafayel may argue against that.

[ raf... is such an interesting person. no wonder he's elysium's boyfriend. ]

[transmit]

[ ELYSIUM'S BOYFRIEND? ]

But you only opted for his because I wasn't around…?

[oversea]

[ he gave him his transceiver... ]

It's not like I told him that.

[transmit]

I'm not asking for his opinion. I'm asking for yours.

[oversea]

[ hm...

he is thinking about this very seriously. ]

We didn't do this.

[ he wiggles his fingers. this is next level hand holding. ]

[transmit]

[ His grip instinctively tightens. ]

I'm doing this so you don't run away. Of course.

[oversea]

You ran away more often.

[ thorns should be the one holding onto him? ]

Did you ever get a roommate?

[transmit]

Even so, the person who set the tone is the one who should be blamed.

[ mumbles. ]

I didn't. Maybe that's part of why I feel so comfortable right now? I went back to trying to put up with it…

[oversea]

I can't really be a friend if you're uncomfortable around me.

[ ... although there are still problems with this setup, since so much that built up their relationship is missing from one end. ]

Elysium?
