...

[There's none of the yelling at the tug, as he's processing that. And then he just, relaxes, somewhere bone deep and relieved, hand settling over Cinth's forearm.]

That'll work.

Good. You big idiot.

Got me on both counts there.

... You're not going to stop, are you?

[An ear turns.]

Stop what?

[Actually NOT being evasive right now, there's a list of things it could be that's some 50 miles long.]

The visions.

...

There's somethin' I gotta know.

...

Okay.

You don't think it's the right call.

It's not that. It's... not about right or wrong.

I just don't want to lose you.

...

[His ears plane back and the tail settles on the floor, tip twitching. His expression goes through. Phases.]

I gotta... I think I gotta think bout that.

[ tugs his ear again ]

I'm not telling you to stop. I'm telling you that I'm worried about you.

Then again, I'd be worried regardless of the visions. So I guess the question is moot.

Bro in all the time you've known me? Have I ever loved anyone less? Yer stuck with me.

I just... Yer more important to me than that bastard's father.

[ SIGHS ]

If I'm really that important to you, then listen to what I'm saying, knucklehead. I want you to chase the things you believe are yours. Even if that guy isn't you, it's still your mystery to chase. You want it.

I didn't ask you just to tell you that you should stop. I asked to see if that's what you really wanted. I don't want to lose you, but if I mean that much to you, then becoming a little more feral in the process isn't going to take that away, right?

[He's wide eyes at getting protagd BY CINTH OF ALL PEOPLE.

He doesn't answer right away, staring down at his hands.]

It ain't a little.

I ain't gonna be leaving. But I don't know if yer gonna want to stay. You shouldn't get stuck cuz of a promise now.

Boss. Brocade. Cat man.

I would rather tear out your heart than leave. You're wondering about the elephant in the room, right? Losing yourself, hurting Acidia? Leaving me to watch? Find out after?

Okay.

I would rather stand there and make you wish you weren't alive than leave.

It's not a promise. It's a need. ...I thought you of all people would get that.

.........

[Pokes him right on the nose. Smoosh.]

[ ????????? ]

That's fer that last dig in there.

[The smile isn't any less.]

Awright. We're in this, shovels ready at rock bottom.

Shovels ready. Don't you dare forget it.

[ time to nibble his ear. mlem. ]

[FLICKFLICKFLICK!!! TRIES NOT TO JUST GO BONELESS YOU BASTARD oR SHAKE HIM OFF.]

I aint. I aint. Still... gonna work on keepin' things from gettin' that ugly for a good long time. Maybe all of it if I can. ... Already lost too much over this.

[ heheheh. un-mlems after a couple of flicks ]

........ do you want to talk about it? Like, properly?

[He thinks about it for a long moment. DOES he wanna? On one hand, he feels like he's going to explode, on the other...

He reaches up and ruffles Cinth's hair.]

Sure. But I may tap out if I need to. Cool?
