[ 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 ]

[sarkazm]

The way that they act about it. I'm not going to explain myself every single day.

[noirges]

You are a little brusque.

[ but his tone is teasing... he's sure that wis'adel knows exactly how she comes off ]

... but I get it. You're just trying to exist too, right?

[sarkazm]

That's all we've ever done.

[her, and every other sarkaz.]

[noirges]

Okay.

[ nods... ]

Then... if you ever get too frustrated, then you can let me know and I'll try to help. I know everyone means well, but I don't want you to have to deal with that alone.

[sarkazm]

[well, by now he might expect the answer to be exactly what it is:]

I'll pass! I can fight my own battles just fine.

[noirges]

I know you can.

But it must get annoying.

[ just to borrow her own words? ]

[sarkazm]

And I'll deal with it if it's too much of a pain in the ass.

[but she definitely doesn't need anyone to help with that.]

[noirges]

You're really independent, Wiš'adel...

Has it always been like that?
