[ oh - he settles right back in when jy shifts, trying to make it max comfy for both of them..... cozy ]
Hehe... Courrune's my pride and joy is what it is. I'm the owner. We're a guild of handymen [ it's just the two of them,, ] who help people out with anything they might need. We took on all sorts of work requests, so everyday was really fun.
But... ah, I'm sure he really admired you! You have a really powerful presence. [ so steady... ] Do you think you'll take their redemption deal to go back to him?
[ comes back here like YVES KNOWS ABOUT THE FURRY YAOI NOW!! THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!! watch OUT hugo (and superheaven) ]
That is most admirable. You and Hugo must be quite the blessing to your community. ...I do not mean to speak ill of human nature, but it is always heartening to find those willing to help others unconditionally.
[ praises lots for affection week!!! he then laughs softly, to receive some praise in return. ]
Is that so? I will take your word for it.
...But yes, I must return home. Surely you feel the same?
[ braces for whenever and whatever virche lore clocks me over the head ]
Ah, well... I just like to help make people happy, and sometimes in our society it can be hard for them to find the skills they need to get things done. So that's where we come in.
[ but... hmmmMMMMM the question. he looks thoughtful ]
... well, I chose the circumstances of my death. I think... I'm still deciding, but I...
For now, I'm happy supporting everyone else who definitely knows what they want.

Hmm, I guess in work? Though Hugo's helped me a lot through the years even outside of the job... but we do work at Courrune together.
[ tilts head ]
I'd say so but... the same goes for everyone here, right? You must have people you miss, too.

jing yuan would nod but he's still using yves as a chinrest. he shifts a little when yves tilts his head. ]
A most-trusted companion, then. Like sworn brothers. [ they can be assigned at least a little gay... ] What sort of place is Corrune?
Of course. We are fortunate to have those we care for in our lives, as difficult as it is to leave them so far behind. [ for now anyway ]
...It is strange not to be shadowed by my retainer. He is a young boy by the name of Yanqing, gifted in swordplay and an abundance of ambition.

gently, ] Would it be difficult for you to return to where you'd left off?
[ that is what jing yuan is inferring, anyhow... but yves is very sweet, either way. ]
Your efforts are appreciated. I do hope you'll allow yourself to be supported as well, even in uncertainty.

[ and the outcome of their battle was a dual death.
but he nods! ]
I am! I think... I've been making okay progress in understanding what I need for redemption, at least...
no subject
...I'm very sorry to hear it, Yves. For you and your friend both.
[ he gives him a gentle squeeze. he will not pry, but he is of course willing to provide an ear, or even just quiet company. ]
You are making peace in your own way, yes?

yves takes in a breath at that, and then steels himself for jing yuan's reaction ]
... it's okay. It was my choice. For things to end that way, when it's the only way that I think I could've saved the people I loved.
So I guess I'm getting what peace I can, navigating that.
