[ tilts head ]

Not at all?

[sarkazm]

Noooot remotely. I've been over that for years!

[noirges]

... but that means it still hurt once, right?

[ takes a sip of his own wine ]

... I understand in a way, too. So... that's why I still think I can say I'm grateful.

[sarkazm]

Did it? I never said it only started later.

[she waves a hand, sipping before she continues.]

I won't say you shouldn't still be grateful, though.

[noirges]

[ a small smile ]

Then please accept my thanks nonetheless.

It was a long day.

[sarkazm]

Too long of a day. This shouldn't be our problem to begin with!

[noirges]

I wonder what could've motivated Jing Yuan to act...

Was he different at all on Thursday with you and Waner?

[sarkazm]

I couldn't tell you. That was the first time we really talked.

[a shrug.]

He seemed fine, I guess? Let me do his nails.

[noirges]

[ nods... ]

I think he's very obliging... so I really wouldn't say he was behaving out of the ordinary at all.

[sarkazm]

Seemed normal enough today, too, so... it sounds like he really meant what he said about his conscience.

Which is fine, because if he'd gotten all broken up about it after the running around he made us do, I would've been pissed!

[noirges]

[ nods... ]

I just... want to know why. I hope he'll tell us. I'll probably go see him soon.

But it doesn't change that... Charlie's dead.

[sarkazm]

No, but you've had time to start getting used to that.

[charlie dying was so 48 hours ago?]

[noirges]

[ oh

he laughs a little bit ]

Do you not mourn often, Wiš'adel?

[sarkazm]

We've always lived with death.

[she hums. taps her painted nails on the side of her glass.]

Let me put it this way. For Kazdel-born Sarkaz like me? We grew up without names, because there just wasn't any point in bothering.

[noirges]

[ he nods along, understanding... ]

I see... My country was said to be beloved and cursed by Death - so I see what you mean.

It's different, when it is so commonplace for us.

[sarkazm]

Why mourn death when it's about as common as killing a fowlbeast for dinner?

[there's just no point. you mourn forever, endlessly.]

Most of us don't grieve. We just get revenge.

[noirges]

[ a little amused ]

... a lot of people I know don't grieve either. They accept when death comes, and then they brush past it.

But I don't know... I'll still always miss that person that I won't get to see again.

[sarkazm]

Well, don't worry. I'm sure you can find someone just as annoying-- have you met Marcoh?

[noirges]

[ ? ]

I love Marcoh.

[sarkazm]

-of course you do.

[what else did she expect.]

[noirges]

[ smiles faintly ]

But I like you too.

Why don't you get along?

[sarkazm]

If I had to put a name to it...

[hmmmm.]

Too soft.

[noirges]

[ thinks about it... and how she spoke to koharu... ]

Do you think people won't survive if they're "too soft"?

[sarkazm]

Obviously he managed to survive... up to a point. But more than anything, it's just an annoyance.

[noirges]

Annoying... to be kind?

[ genuinely curious, just trying to understand. it is so unfamiliar to yves but he is doing his best ]
