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?

... 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.

[ 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.

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