[Aventurine please make more deep meaningful bonds that aren't just with your fiance Cloud.]
I've heard that's fairly common, as well... [Why the amnesia? He wants to know. Just for the PAIN OF IT ALL?? This place is so exhausting he's constantly on the verge of losing it.]
...I imagine that even recalling things as they normally are doesn't ease away what happened or how real it felt at the time.
[Yeah! He can homewreck the hets they have no rights.]
...Considering I'll likely forget that you warned me, I don't believe that's the case... But in the event that I don't, I suppose it's good to remember that it isn't real.
[So he doesn't get covered in acid burns again trying to save a fake version of his sister.]
Almost strange, don't you think? Especially after last week. [So many people blew up so much...] ...I'm grateful for it, though I do wish you'd managed to stay out of trouble, yourself.
[Last week it was everyone sparing Aventurine, this week it was Aventurine sparing everyone (except Cloud).]
He also makes a bit of an uncertain face. He's going to be haunted by this statement when a million people inevitably end up dying on break-ins next week.]
[YEAH HE CAN'T!! But yes... Everyone else is doing their best. Are they actually fine?? Questionable, but "doing their best" is basically fine-adjacent!]
Good. [HE NEEDS TO REST WELL.] ...You've heard about those who will be joining us shortly, I assume?
I think it would be a little depressing if you were able to meet each death without surprise. Even if the death itself is expected, the target never is, after all.
[Imagine just living constantly expecting everyone you love to die. Sounds like Nehan.]
[It's okay, everyone else becomes the problem children next week. YALL ARE NIGHTMARES. There's a thin little flicker of a smile, still a bit concerned.]
No need to worry about my time, but I don't want to keep you up when you ought to be resting. There's nothing else that you need, currently?

[ And he doesn't have very many of those! ]
But when I was there, everything felt real. I couldn't even remember this place.

You're right about that... I wonder if telling you this will make any difference should you find yourself in a similar situation.

Anyway, levels Lucas a look of concern because he does still have Famine's request in mind. ]
It's worth a try. At least things were a bit quieter this week.

... Yeah. Hope that doesn't mean everyone else goes down the pipe of dead or injured next week. I'd hate for that to be a pattern.

...It wasn't like that before, was it?
no subject
[ Maybe all of you are the problem!!! ANYWAY ]
How have you been, Lucas? Anything going on with you while I've been here?
no subject
He also just sort of smiles wryly at that HELLO.]
Please don't ask me that while you're the one in the hospital... Nothing at all has happened in the day or so that you've been here.
[You think Miette gets into trouble on a daily basis???]
no subject
Though yeah, the did you get into any trouble was implied. ]
That's good. I'll rest easier knowing that everyone else is okay.
no subject

[ KANDA!! HIS BARN CAT!! RONDO?? ]
I shouldn't be surprised this many weeks in, but I still manage to be surprised each and every time.

no subject
... Yeah. It's not one of those things we should become desensitized to.
[ Even if having feelings is BOTHERSOME. ]
Thanks for coming to check on me.
no subject
But he just nods, expression soft but solemn.]
Holding on to every bit of the softest parts of your heart is more important than ever in times like this.
[But the thanks takes him off his guard a bit, and there's a little flicker of the surprise in his expression.]
There's no need to thank me. It's the very least I can do.
no subject
Oh? Didn't want to rub it in my face that I've started causing trouble now?
no subject
He looks a little sheepish for a second because he had indeed been considering bringing that up just to tease.]
If I scold you for causing trouble, you might start causing even more of it.
no subject
[ AVENTURINE LIKE HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS ]
no subject
I do believe it's a correct one, even if you may say it's strange.
no subject
[ If he can stay out of trouble for that long. ]
But it's getting late, and I've held up enough of your time.
no subject
No need to worry about my time, but I don't want to keep you up when you ought to be resting. There's nothing else that you need, currently?

[ Go get your beauty rest, Lucas... ]
no subject
[But he will politely take his leave guoba guoba gooby.]
