[ . . . ]

... Do you want to eat nabe with me?

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

Yeah, sure. Goes well with the weather.

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

[ with a tiny, weak smile ]

... It would be nice if we had the kotatsu now, wouldn't it...?

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

...Yeah, it would. Maybe we should buy that room.

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

Not until after Christmas, right...?

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

Mm. Well, it looks like I'll be able to afford all the presents just fine, so it shouldn't be a problem.

[ shakes her head ]

I don't really have any money . . . and we promised to split the costs, didn't we? So - let's wait.

[avestan]

Okaaaaaay...

[ leaning in to kiss his cheek - she lingers a little longer than usual, clinging with decidedly more weight than she tends to

to comfort him? to comfort herself? yes ]

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

[clings back tbh

closeness is good]

...Do you think-

[cuts himself off like he thought better of asking]

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

... What is it?

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

...

Do you think he's lonely?

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

... Of course he is...

[ but it's soft, barely above a whisper ]

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

I'll go see him as soon as I can.

[clings to her harder though]

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

[ clinging to him in kind - she stops walking entirely, honestly, to just press her face to his shoulder

even softer, ]

. . . Thank you.

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

[pets her a bit]

Don't thank me, dumbass.

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

I -

[ kind of. startled? ]

I can't . . . I can't do anything for him, so it's . . .

... Shouldn't I...

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

If it's hard for you, he wouldn't want you to.

[petpetpet]

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

[ leaning into it, just slightly ]

... So it's just - ... if Whisky isn't here, isn't it better if it's you . . . ?

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

...

Yeah. I know.

[petting slows down but doesn't stop]

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

So, since I can't do anything . . . even though I...

[ if she says something after that it's too soft to hear, ]

... since I can't do anything, I should thank you, right?

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

...

[pulls away enough that he can look her in the eyes]

Dia.

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

[ just

averts her eyes without moving her head ]

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

Do you really think it's just a matter of you needing to do something for him? Without anyone doing anything for you?

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

... I'm fine. I don't need anything. I'm fine, but -

Because I was ... ... I was there for so long that I missed a lot of things, and I...

... So a lot more than me, isn't he the one that should be comforted right now...? If it can't be me, and Whisky isn't here, then it should be you, shouldn't it? I know -

... no matter what happens, you'll take care of him, so it's fine to thank you for that, isn't it...?
