[retellers]

[ soo-won!!

they nod. ]

I can do that.

[recrowns]

[there's just a soft little laugh at that]

Good.

[he'll give goat's hand another squeeze before letting go]

Then that's one less thing for me to worry about.

[retellers]

I don't want to give you cause for concern...

[recrowns]

If it helps, you're not the most concerning person I've met in this place?

[retellers]

... I don't think that helps.

[ they? don't want anyone to be concerning?? ]

[recrowns]

[kano and hikaru exist

soo-won just laughs a bit]

I think that having friends just means you'll worry over them from time to time, and that's alright.

[retellers]

... Okay, if you say so.

[ soo-won is the expert on friendship, after all. ]

[recrowns]

[soo-won nods]

I do.

Do you think you spent a lot of time alone?

[retellers]

... I'm not sure. I don't know how to describe this feeling...

[recrowns]

Hm...

How does your heart feel?

[maybe that'll be a place to start?]

[retellers]

Like it's trying to tell my body many things at once.

[recrowns]

Is it hard to untangle what those many things are...?

[retellers]

[ they nod. ]

Like a river that has branched... I don't know which to follow, or where either ends. I can only remain standing at where they part ways.

[recrowns]

[ . . . ]

Are you normally a decisive person?

[retellers]

I don't know. I haven't had to make many decisions here.

[recrowns]

[ . . . ]

I hope you'll be prepared should another emergency arise...

[retellers]

I will step up if I need to. However, the others are often very quick to act.

[ so goat usually just follows their lead if they don't disagree ]

[recrowns]

It's you, Swan, and Tiger this week, correct?

They seem.... interesting.

[and he doesn't mean this rudely - it really is the best word he's got]

[retellers]

Yes. Swan is very quick to make decisions and suggest ideas, so I often assist them.

[recrowns]

They're the one that you mentioned is rather young, right? Are you like their guardian?

[retellers]

All of them are rather young.

[ by goat's standards, anyway.

they think for a moment. ]

I don't think that's our relationship...

[recrowns]

You're immortal I think that everyone comes off as young to you.

[even soo-won who doesn't like feeling that way]

Oh? How would you describe it then?

[retellers]

I am fond of them.

[ does this mean anything when goat seems to like everyone ]

[recrowns]

[soo-won and goat keep vibing but still soo-won just. laughs a little]

Aren't you fond of everyone?

It almost makes me feel a little less special.

[retellers]

[ OH NO ]

Y-You're my friend...!
