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...?

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

...Fine. But don't say you're fine when you're obviously not.

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

I'm okay.

[ but she still can't look him in the eye as she says it ]

... But - when we get back, could I ask you for a favor...?

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

Yeah, of course. What is it?

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

... When we get back home.

I don't mind if anyone else hears it, but I don't know how to say it yet...

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

Sure. Take your time and figure it out while we're out.

[petpet]

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

[ leannn ]

... Okay.

[ a pause ]

Thank you.

[ and once they get closer to the grocery store she will actually let go of his hand, if - reluctantly, lingering a bit ]

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

[nnn he wants to tell her off for thanking him again, but doesn't]

So what's going in that nabe?

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

Oh - it's monkfish... so there's meat from the fish, and its liver, and mushrooms, cabbage, greens, and tofu... and onions and carrots, I think...

... If there's something else you want, then you can pick it up too.

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

Nah, that all sounds good. Monkfish it is.

[heading in! shopping time]

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

It's . . .

[ she probably should not tell him it's whisky's favorite, at least not before he eats it ]

It's nice... but if you want snacks too, then you should have them, shouldn't you?

[ just grabbing everything - it's late so even if she COULD steam the liver herself she just gets the meat and liver separately, then all the veg ingredients, restocks on miso, etc ]
