Re: Day 165, tea time

[repeatrequiem]

That's not really surprising... but good to hear. Thank you.

Re: Day 165, tea time

[quercusoptima]

Of course.

How about you, though? How are you doing?

Re: Day 165, tea time

[repeatrequiem]

. . . ah.

[ Looks a little uncomfortable :x ]

It's been stressful.

Re: Day 165, tea time

[quercusoptima]

Mmm ... well, since you called, I assume you want to talk about it ... ?

Re: Day 165, tea time

[repeatrequiem]

C-can't I just have wanted to talk to you?!

Re: Day 165, tea time

[quercusoptima]

That's just one of several topics we could talk about.

... Amethyst has lost another person. And there was a game where Pascal died unnecessarily, because he believes in self-sacrifice.

I don't want to depress you.

[shakes his head]

I know what it was like. I'm not that easily disheartened.

Re: Day 165, tea time

[repeatrequiem]

N-nonetheless!

Re: Day 165, tea time

[quercusoptima]

I think you would have to try a lot harder to upset me than you think.

Re: Day 165, tea time

[repeatrequiem]

... I know, but it doesn't mean I want to be the bearer of bad new.

Re: Day 165, tea time

[quercusoptima]

I'd rather know than not.

Re: Day 165, tea time

[repeatrequiem]

... well, now you know!

Re: Day 165, tea time

[quercusoptima]

Is there any more?

Re: Day 165, tea time

[repeatrequiem]

... Mikage's probably mentioned it to you, right?

Re: Day 165, tea time

[quercusoptima]

Yes, but I want to hear your side of things.

Re: Day 165, tea time

[repeatrequiem]

I don't know where to start!

Re: Day 165, tea time

[quercusoptima]

The beginning is good.

Re: Day 165, tea time

[repeatrequiem]

That would be the beginning of our friendship in the first place!

Re: Day 165, tea time

[quercusoptima]

Souya's off running around. I have time.

Re: Day 165, tea time

[repeatrequiem]

I don't want to waste the candle talking about it! i just... he just... he started joking about it, and it made me realize that I wouldn't really... and then he kept giving me these memories with all these feelings and kissed the top of my head, how couldn't I respond?! But I know it's selfish, because... because it's not respecting Shuri and I shouldn't have done it, so it doesn't matter!

Re: Day 165, tea time

[quercusoptima]

It does matter, though. Just trying to ignore it like that won't make things better, Teito.

Re: Day 165, tea time

[repeatrequiem]

I don't want it to change anything! It's... it's better to act like I didn't do it, that way no one will be hurt!

Re: Day 165, tea time

[quercusoptima]

... Your feelings are legitimate too, Teito. And you're not going to help anyone by just ignoring them.

Re: Day 165, tea time

[repeatrequiem]

They're not!

[ ... wow that was an awkward outburst, um. ]

...... if all they're going to do is hurt people, or make them do bad things...... or... if they do have any authority at all, then my feelings on the matter are already decided anyway. I want it ignored!
