Well, it wasn’t my intention to make him feel attacked. I can talk to him. The plain facts are, in trying to help, he put someone in danger. I’m not sugar coating that for you.
But I do believe him when he says he didn’t mean to, and worked to stop that after speaking to me. He apologised, and I believe it.
[ at that last part he just looks tired again. ]
You’re not the only one protecting an item linked to your role, you know. I can’t say for sure if there’s a difference — maybe yours is more important that anything else, who knows. It probably is? But I haven’t turned it into a world versus me and mine to do so.
I haven’t and won’t mention any item though. Don’t worry about that.
I'm glad you believe him. There's no way he could have known. Even with what happened at trial. I thought that meant speaking about the roles in such a big setting and I have a role.
He's always wanted to help.
[ he shakes his head a bit ]
I'm not trying to turn it into that. I still want to trust everyone and protect everyone. I believe we can make it through this as a group.
But you've seen what's happened to these worlds we've been to. The spectres... What I have to protect... It's to save our worlds from having the same fate.
But thank you. I can't afford to lose this.
[ he hesitates a moment. ]
I'm sorry if I'm acting a bit... [ he doesn't know how to put it, just shaking his head a little. ] Something happened while I was missing. Something I'm trying to work through. I know everyone that went on their trips has their baggage... So I'm trying.
he pokes him in the centre of the forehead. lightly. provided he's not bleeding from there? kotetsu where aren't you bleeding from? ]
What's happened has happened. As long we're all just trying to get through this in one piece? That's all I'm looking for. And I believe you both when you say you are.
...
I haven't told the others in great if any detail, but I can track spectres as well. Is there something you can think of that would be good to look into? Like, if it helps you with this whole window thing, if knowing where they are points you towards a window, then it's worth doing.
[ there's a slight twitch of his lips. ] We can keep that arrangement between us -- and Sholmes, if you want. If it's something that'll work.
Yeah, well. After last weekend-- [ he pauses, and there's a frown on his face. ] I'm probably not in the best of moods myself. We're all carrying our shit around in our own ways.
[ He's fine... It's fine. But he looks up at the finger poking his head, then back at Yuri. ]
I'm not sure if that would help. That's something I'd have to ask the Watchers about, if that's any indication.
[ And, since Yuri is getting more open. ]
You should be able to see the windows... I made one for Sholmes. Don't worry, I closed it immediately, so there isn't any problems. But he's been helping me look.
... It's why he fell out of a tree the other week. [ Slightly exasperated tone at him doing stupid things. ]
I just need a little time. Not even to rest, since we don't have that. But to recover. I'll get there.
[ Probably with Sholmes' help. But that should be a given at this point and not something he needs to state. ]
But for the meetings... Hm. I feel like it's hypocritical of me only wanting Sholmes there for small meetings, but also... it might make things easier for a bit. At the very least, I'm glad that Nero and Sholmes are able to work on things together. That was my main goal in this.
Checking is fine. Right now, I’m just seeing where they congregate.
[ he just. closes his eyes at that. fuckin’ sholmes (friendly) ]
I’ve already told someone to take all the time they need to work through things that happen here. I can say it again, with feeling. [ go get your gay hug therapy. ]
You can feed back whatever to him if he doesn’t want to come along. We’ll figure something out, and make sure we get the information out to others as much as we can.
[ rude poker. but yeah. then again, he's a big idiot himself, so he can't throw stones. ]
The problem is, we don't have a lot of time and rest isn't really an option. So, I'll work through it as I can. [ about that ... ]
At the very least, Nero and him can meet up together. They seemed to be getting along well together. Nero can always bring information back to us, too, that they figure out.
[ so, there's that. either way, sholmes is a resource now. ]
[ this is just yuri with kotetsu and sholmes right now honestly. ratshaking them into self care. ]
If you burn out it'll be worse. Just keep that in mind, alright? If you need a piggyback ride while you're wandering around, I can probably pull that off with a little determination.
Nero's probably got one of the more daunting jobs, alongside you. He might try and leg it though, so corner him somewhere he can't flee from.
[ puts sholmes on the shelf. this is a surprise tool that will help us later. ]
I appreciate it, but... I am working on it. The leg thing.
[ he nods some at that ]
I don't know how much I can help with the codes. Not really my strong suit... But I'll help him out where I can and make sure they're working together.
[ also, how is sholmes being a tool any kind of a surprise? or just. surprise! here's a tool. ]
There’s no chance of a replacement? I know Sholmes got his hand replaced, but a leg’s bigger…
[ he looks like he’s thinking about that. ]
Mm. Same, puzzles and logic aren’t exactly my strong suit either. But context clues means I can figure we’re learning about why there’s this division in the first place. It’d be nice if we knew how to stop it.
I’m 90 per cent sure two negatives cancel each other out, so maybe combined we’ll have such amazing luck that all these higher up angels just spontaneously combust?
