[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?

That's good. I'll rest easier knowing that everyone else is okay.

Thanks for coming to check on me.

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.

[ 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.
