[recrowns]

[he leans back against the tree trunk and directs his gaze to the sky]

It's alright. I can wait.

[retellers]

Don't you have people to talk to...?

[recrowns]

... maybe.

[he sounds like he's actually weighing this today but]

But for now, I'm here with you.

[retellers]

[ ...

they look up at the sky, as if they're not quite sure how to respond to that. ]

[recrowns]

[it's cool, soo-won's going to look for gulfan in the sky too

he'll give goat a little bit to see if they're going to actually fess up or if he'll need to prod again gently]

[retellers]

[ they................ do not say anything. ]

[recrowns]

... is it because you feel like you have not done enough? Even in your position?

[retellers]

[ ...

they look down, though their expression now looks more sad and guilty than "maybe if i stay quiet for long enough soo-won will magically forget".]

[recrowns]

[ . . . . he's just going to move to rest a hand on goat's shoulder]

... you aren't alone in that.

[retellers]

... Is there anything you need help with?

[ with soo-won's burdens, that is. ]

[recrowns]

You're trying to change the topic to me and it won't work until you actually answer at least one of my questions, Goat.

[can you add this to my catchall]

[retellers]

[ i hate you ]

I've answered some of your questions...!

[recrowns]

[please it's so accurate]

You have.

But you're shying away from talking about your hardships, even though I'd like to share them with you.

We're friends first - not a Leader and a follower, even though technically we are both. I'm not displeased with your skittishness... but I think I would be remiss if I were to let you escape every time.

[retellers]

... It seems imprudent to complain about my own problems with everything going on...

[recrowns]

[he shakes his head]

It is not complaining.

We're just supporting each other - so it's balanced.

[retellers]

... Because that's what friends do?

[recrowns]

[a smile]

Precisely!

[retellers]

Friends...

[







sure hope soo-won wasn't still leaning against goat because they suddenly flop to the side and back onto the ground. ]

[recrowns]

[hghk

he was and that's why he's suddenly off-balance and also falling over]

[retellers]

[ well

glad they're both back on the ground now ]

[recrowns]

[they are - and he actually seems to wince at the pain before trying to right himself]

Was it something I said....

[retellers]

[ OH NO SOO-WON'S INJURIES ]

Ah... I'm sorry...!

[recrowns]

[haha yea

he places a hand against his chest as if to check that he isn't bleeding profusely again (he's not)]

It's alright, I can handle it.

[retellers]

Are you sure... They didn't reopen, did they?

[recrowns]

I don't believe so... but perhaps I should ask Clementine about those stitches after all.

[he looks to goat]

Or - could you procure me a book to tell me how to do it on my own? You can summon items too, can't you? I've been meaning to ask about a new cloak and robes as well...

[EVERYTHING HE HAS IS SO FUCKING TATTERED AND BLOODY]
