... only if you want to, even if it's just to try to understand.
[ and not attack... ]
But... I'm going to miss her forever, for the rest of my afterlife and then some. I'll probably miss Jing Yuan the same way, since he's getting... expelled.
... he told me that there's someone he wants to see again. That he has to go home and return to life. So if there's something at play here that made him risk that...
[ He looks unsure but he kind of. Slowly shifts a little weight on him. A little bit! Like he doesn't just take Yves's confidence on the spot for granted. ]
... a little smile and a 'thank you' can make my whole day. That's all it is. So hearing this from you... I think I could go a whole 'nother month on your praise alone, no problem.

[ He just. Assumes Jing Yuan would be tied up or something along those lines. Bars intensify instead. ]
I don't understand it. Did she offend him somehow? To boldly declare his consciousness was clear...
no subject
[ softly ]
... he told me that there's someone he wants to see again. That he has to go home and return to life. So if there's something at play here that made him risk that...
[ a tilt of his head ]
I think it has to be something really important.
no subject
[ So yeah. To just throw it away on a whim, on Charlie, someone so loveable and loved...? That's a comical villain turn if he ever heard one. ]
no subject
So... that's what I'm trying to get, more than anything else.
Even with all the grief and the sadness and the heartbreak... I'd like to just have some truth.
no subject
The next best thing we can get is closure, right?
[ Something, anything, to shave off bits of the guilt. ]
no subject
Ideally.
The heartache's going to take a while to heal... but it'll never get there if we don't have at least a little more information as to why.
no subject
[ His energy fizzles out for now. He's tired, a rare state. ]
no subject
You can lean on me too, you know. I'm not gonna topple like a twig or anything.
no subject
[ He looks unsure but he kind of. Slowly shifts a little weight on him. A little bit! Like he doesn't just take Yves's confidence on the spot for granted. ]
no subject
he's not a useless twink so it's okay. he'll actually wind his arm with marcoh's so they're interlocked as if to encourage it ]
See? I can support you too.
When things get hard to carry.
no subject
Thanks, Yves.
no subject
[ easily. and he'll clink their wine glasses together lightly ]
no subject
Hopefully this does not cause unrest.
[ Surely after once, it wouldn't happen again. But what does he know. People do strange things under pressure and panic. ]
no subject
... I think life always takes a while to adjust after tragedy. [ just from what he's seen ] The afterlife is probably the same.
But... I do think people care enough about each other here to try to heal, even so.
no subject
Sticking together is probably the best thing we can do for her memory.
no subject
Right? It's what she would've wanted.
So... I'd like to hold onto that, even still. In what little ways I can help people, just like Charlie.
no subject
That photo you took -- can it be printed?
no subject
I can ask the angels... I was going to send it out to everyone who was with us tomorrow anyway. Do you want it now?
no subject
I just don't know much about how the phone photos work. Having one real... uh, normal? One would be nice.
no subject
It's different to have something in your hands, right?
[ leans his head on marcoh's shoulder briefly before righting himself ]
Then I'll get it printed.
no subject
You do a lot for me, and others.
no subject
[ teasing ]
... a little smile and a 'thank you' can make my whole day. That's all it is. So hearing this from you... I think I could go a whole 'nother month on your praise alone, no problem.
[ he treasures marcoh's words, reserved as he is ]
no subject
[ Still just sludging weight up against his shoulder. ]
It's nice to know there's people like you around.
no subject
Mm... I hope you don't change your mind about me, Marcoh.
But I feel the same about you.
