the sound of claude's laugh gets yves' expression to light up, pleased to hear it. he'll lean more against him then, getting cozy as he familiarly has before ]
Finally! We can trade!
[ god he's so tired and he laughs ] I'm tired of being a nuisance this weekend... Thank you for carrying my weight, but I hope you don't have to anymore.
[ Oh, no. That is uncomfortably close, but they can touch foreheads before he's facing out again toward the water. I think they're at the beach. I can't even remember. ]
yves just smiles a little sheepishly then - he doesn't move to join claude right away, just bringing up his hand to brush some of claude's hair out of his face as he looks over him ]
... sorry, then. I'll try to give you less to fuss over.
he's surprised to go down, but he's laughing about it. he'll loop his arms around claude's shoulders affectionately in a hug as he settles against his side ]
Then I'll just say thanks again.
Let's do something fun soon instead of talking about the weight of the world.

I don't know if anyone has ever asked for my forgiveness.
no subject
[ just! to be upfront about it! ]
You deserve to be treated well too, Claude. Even if we sometimes disagree, I don't care for you any less. I want to make things up to you.
And if I also have to make up for everyone else who misstepped before me who found some excuse to be unfair to you, so be it.
no subject
Thanks, Yves. I think I deserve to be treated well too. [ Claude has never had any doubt about his own worth. ]
Though I will say... usually I'm the one kicking up trouble and having to apologize.
[ Wink! ]

You weren't a nuisance, Yves. But you're welcome.
no subject
Please remember you can lean on me, too.
I know this weekend wasn't easy for anyone.
no subject
It wasn't easy watching all that go down.
[ With Hawke, Anders and Firefly. ]
Even worse to experience it, I'm sure.
no subject
yves will just let his head rest on claude's good shoulder again ]
Mm... I'm sure their hearts are going to be heavy for a time longer.
Are you going to talk to Garrett tonight?
no subject
Are you?
[ Adolphe died to a bear... ]
no subject
Even if he's not in his right mind... I'd like to speak with my friend. And get what answers I can.
[ about his adolphe... ]
no subject
You really are a gentle soul.
no subject
I think it'd be better if I could get angry. Adolphe deserves someone who would.
But he knew this about me already... so I hope he doesn't mind.

You can. I don't mind.
I'd rather you tell me what's on your mind, even if it's hard for me to hear.
