Comments

[homoenculus]

[... Do I really want to know this, whatever it is?]

[no_hero]

[not going to approach that, not yet.]

I'm sorry... Iri. That peace... it may not be possible. Even here.

[homoenculus]

. . .

[homoenculus]

I understand.

[no_hero]

[--no. don't agree so easily ;;]

[homoenculus]

Even if it's not, that's fine. I will be by your side this time.

[no_hero]

[a long pause at that... then a few starts and stops trying to say something, finding that he shouldn't have the right to say it, discarding, and trying again...]

Please... this time...

[homoenculus]

[She returns to where he's seated, crouching down]

This time?

[no_hero]

It doesn't... have to be like those past times.

[it comes out more as a plea than a statement]

[homoenculus]

[She settles down beside him, shoulder to shoulder, just like those long afternoons in the Einzbern's castle... reading, talking, sometimes even laughing...]

No. It doesn't.

[no_hero]

[... shifts to move closer to. very much hesitant with this as he makes an aborted gesture with the arm next to her. going still after a second]

[homoenculus]

[Looping her own arm through his when he stills, almost casually, leaning against him]

[no_hero]

[leans back against, allowing himself to relax into that bone-weary state]
