Comments

[librorian]

[hesitates, then offers an arm to hug him]

[anopenbook]

[will go into Aidan's arms and hide his face against his shoulder]

[librorian]

[wraps his arms around him firmly, leaning his own head against Rabi's]

[anopenbook]

Seriously, I can't do this. But I gotta, yeah?

[librorian]

[slight nod]

It is not his fault. In fact, it is likely that he is a true version of Pochi, rather than a brainwashed Syaoran. Given the variation in timelines surrounding that place.

[anopenbook]

I wish I were still dead. This sucks. This isn't fair.

[librorian]

[softly]

You can still care for him. Look out for him. And somewhere your original version of Syaoran is still safe.

[anopenbook]

I will, of course I will. I just. I can't.

[librorian]

...

Perhaps this is a time for alcohol and a book.

[anopenbook]

[laughs weakly] Yeah, Shinichi invited me over for drinks.

[librorian]

I'll go with you, if you want.

[anopenbook]

Maybe for a little while.

[librorian]

[slight nod]

I am still unsure of what other coping methods would be helpful.

[anopenbook]

Ripping out my feelings and burying them in a jar.

[librorian]

That ... isn't actually possible, correct ... ?

[anopenbook]

Sadly it is not possible.

[librorian]

As I suspected ... We are such frail things.

[anopenbook]

[pecks on the cheek]

We are.

[librorian]

[reddens a little]

... despite the situation, I am deeply and selfishly glad that you are here.

[anopenbook]

You are?

[librorian]

Of course. We are friends, aren't we?

[anopenbook]

We are.

[librorian]

That is the deeply part. The selfishly is that I do not know that anyone else would be patient enough to help a former god learn how to live as a person.

[anopenbook]

I. I am patient, ain't I.

Can I ask for a break later? Shinichi wants me to spend the night at his place....

[librorian]

Of course. I'll return and keep an eye on Pochi.
