Who: Wander, anyone
When: Day 24, Night
Where: Somewhere close by Apartment Q
What: Making his arrows more awesome.

[Wander is sitting in the halls, whistling a very somber tune while he uses a rock to sharpen some of his arrow heads. He looks more than a little worn after dealing with a giant spider earlier today but he's amazingly enough not injured!

You also caught him in a somewhat good mood!]

[Whistle, whistle, whistle~]

*it's not you who'd be making me cry, it's this place and the loneliness I can't escape :<*

[slayerofgiants]

[Maybe crying and letting it out is a good thing?]

[nometal_alchemist]

*it's probably better than keeping it bottled up inside*

[slayerofgiants]

[Well that's good, because the soft weeping is developing into light sobbing. Damn it, it's the second time he's cried in front of someone. Damn it. :/]

W-will...will it ever stop hurting this much?

[nometal_alchemist]

*this is a sad place full of sadness, sobbing will happen*

I don't know. I hope it will hurt less with time... but I don't think it will ever stop hurting completely. And I don't think I'd want it to.

[slayerofgiants]

[but two days in a row. :| Also sort of clinging.]

I -- I don't either. B-but...it hurts. I -- I don't...I don't even know if she made it out...if she's really okay.

[nometal_alchemist]

*probably a lot more days to come, too*

It's an uncertainty I think many of us here are stuck with, so you're not alone. I don't know what became of him, either. If he's okay, regardless of whether or not he's alive.

[slayerofgiants]

[most likely yes.]

W-was he okay when you last saw him...?

[nometal_alchemist]

*...nods*

But I don't remember what happened to me, if he suffered the same fate... or if he's been left behind, how he's taking it. I wish I could be there with him again, or even tell him it's okay and I'll be along to join him as soon as I can, but right now that's not possible.

[slayerofgiants]

[clinging more if at all possible]

I...I am sorry.

[nometal_alchemist]

I'm sorry for your situation, too.

[slayerofgiants]

D-don't be. It is my fault.

B-but you...you do not deserve this pain.

[nometal_alchemist]

Why would you say that? Something like this isn't what anyone deserves.

[slayerofgiants]

...You honestly believe that?

[he's sounding more cold now than anything, and a little disbelieving.]

[nometal_alchemist]

*too bad you're still being hugged*

I've seen dozens of worlds, I've seen terrible things done, and I don't believe a single one of them deserves a fate separated from their loved ones. I may not know what you've done, but I can tell this isn't something you deserve, either.

[slayerofgiants]

[and I will continue to be stubborn and bitter. Also not clinging as much anymore, and the tears are steadily decreasing.]

There are some that do. Some of them need to suffer.

[nometal_alchemist]

*he's not letting you go, though*

You honestly believe you did something to deserve this pain?

[slayerofgiants]

[you are stubborn like Sion. :|]

I know I do.

[nometal_alchemist]

*yep*

Why?

[slayerofgiants]

...I endangered many lives.

[nometal_alchemist]

You aren't alone in that.

[slayerofgiants]

D-did you...do that as well?

[nometal_alchemist]

I endangered the lives of my brother and family, and our actions cost the lives of some people we cared about.

[slayerofgiants]

I-I am sorry.

You did not know that would happen, though. Did you?

[nometal_alchemist]

What my brother and I did... we should have--no, we did know better. But we thought we could beat the odds, defeat the rules and succeed where no one else ever had before.
