On the off chance that things get . . . strange, I don't know how many people I want to see me like that.

[leonheartedly]

Understandably.

It goes without saying, I think, but I want to be there.

[afineknight]

I want you to be there.

[leonheartedly]

Then I will be.

[he forcibly relaxes his grip on Crois' jacket and just puts his arms around him properly again instead]

[afineknight]

. . . Oye. How are you doing in all of this?

[leonheartedly]

[he pulls back to look at him, a little incredulous]

How I feel shouldn't matter.

[afineknight]

It matters to me.

[leonheartedly]

[ugh, don't say that.

A little weakly]

I was still trying to wrap my mind around the last two days and now there's this.

[afineknight]

It is a lot in succession.

[leonheartedly]

[quietly]

It's a lot of good.

[afineknight]

I did not think we would figure something out until much later.

[leonheartedly]

Me either.

. . . it means I have to - deal with a lot of things I've been putting off.

[afineknight]

Oh yeah? Like what?

[leonheartedly]

This is where I can plead the fifth, right?

[afineknight]

Tyr.

[ugggghhhh]

I still feel . . . responsible. For what happened. For Krauser.

I know you don't blame me, but . . . I do.

[afineknight]

. . . ah. So that is it.

[leonheartedly]

. . . a man I thought I respected killed a man I should have respected more.

[he shrugs a little helplessly]

I try not to think about it.

[afineknight]

When you put it like that . . .

[ His voice trails off and he shakes his head. ]

It is understandable.

[leonheartedly]

Mm . . . it's things like that. It's - thinking I don't deserve this.

And then I think, none of it matters because what you feel - especially now - is far more important. Because it is, to me.

[afineknight]

So. Here is what we will do.

We will put a pin in this and get through this— whole thing with me. Okay? And when we are done and it is settled, we will return to this topic. Because I understand, but also, how you feel is important to me.

[leonheartedly]

. . . okay.

But only after it's settled.

[afineknight]

[ prayer circle for me to not forget this conversation. ]

Fair enough.

[leonheartedly]

[guess what if he does it's perfectly fine.

Tyr presses a kiss to his temple]

Should I leave you to it? You're gonna be getting calls all day.

[afineknight]

Hahh, yes. And Tart wants to have a Daffodil meeting later to discuss things. We should come to a consensus by then.
