Re: Day 68 - Late at Night

[firstworldproblem]

It has been a day for you, hasn't it? How can you not be tired?

1/2

[childeishly]

What was that face for?

Re: Day 68 - Late at Night

[childeishly]

As trying as it’s been… I’m still pretty wound up. But if you’re tired don’t let me stop you.

Re: Day 68 - Late at Night

[firstworldproblem]

His story is his to tell. But I worry for him. And I will admit, I worry for you.

Re: Day 68 - Late at Night

[childeishly]

…mm. I know some of what happened, but we’re not close enough that I would bring it up unprompted. If nothing else, I just want him to be happy. [ he deserves it then and he deserves it now. ]

Re: Day 68 - Late at Night

[firstworldproblem]

Have you always felt this way? Even back in your home?

Re: Day 68 - Late at Night

[childeishly]

Maybe not as intensely. Most of us Harbingers don’t care for each other, because we’re all there for our own reasons… but I always enjoyed sparring with him, when he’d indulge me, of course, and I had even gotten to see another side of him once or twice. It was cute, eye-opening too…

But, ah h- Hah, I’m pretty sure he couldn’t stand me though… [ a forced laugh that tapers quickly. ]

Re: Day 68 - Late at Night

[firstworldproblem]

I don't think he was in a place to notice. But he is now.

Take care of his heart. And take care of your own.

Re: Day 68 - Late at Night

[childeishly]

…you’re probably right. [ he tries for a smile. ]

I’m doing what I can. Only time will tell whether or not I’m successful doing either. [ he goes over to the bed and takes a seat. ]

[ he might not be physically tired, but he’s emotionally drained. ]

Re: Day 68 - Late at Night

[firstworldproblem]

[He stays where he is, resting his head in his arms.]

Are you afraid that you won't be able to?

Re: Day 68 - Late at Night

[childeishly]

I am, actually. I’m not as concerned about myself. I don’t really have any doubts there. I made a promise and I intend to keep it, and there’s nothing I wouldn’t do to see it to the end. But as for Mochi… there’s something special about his smile, and I want to see it over and over and over. I just don’t know what will happen here. I can only try. [ which is exactly what he plans to do, but that doesn’t mean he’s not a little worried. ]

[ he pats the spot on the bed beside him. ]

Re: Day 68 - Late at Night

[firstworldproblem]

[He does not move to join.]

You are setting yourself up for heartbreak. But I suppose, who am I to judge.

Do you have any immediate needs? This rooms provide the basics and only just that.

Re: Day 68 - Late at Night

[childeishly]

Maybe. [ probably. ] And some of the ruins are still locked, so I can’t do much to make it better, but… I haven’t eaten in a while…

Re: Day 68 - Late at Night

[firstworldproblem]

There is still stale cake.

[But no, out of aetherspace he tosses his an apple.]

I'm afraid I don't have more than that on me at the moment.

Re: Day 68 - Late at Night

[childeishly]

[ he catches the apple. ] I appreciate the gesture, but… not for conventional food. [ once again he pats the spot beside him. ] You wanted my name, but how about I tell you a little bit more about myself first~

Re: Day 68 - Late at Night

[firstworldproblem]

What do you eat, then? The organs of others.

[He waves a hand.]

Go on.

Re: Day 68 - Late at Night

[childeishly]

[ childe laughs, holding his sides. ] No, not at all. I still eat normal food, but now and then I have to drink blood.

Re: Day 68 - Late at Night

[firstworldproblem]

How curious. Is vampirism common on your star? I must admit, I don't know a lot about it.

Re: Day 68 - Late at Night

[childeishly]

Not to my knowledge, no. It’s another corruption of mine. I have a great deal of them from all the fun I had on the other show. My tails and ears are cute, sure, but the others are fairly annoying. This one in particular… so… what can I do to convince you to let me have a drink?

Re: Day 68 - Late at Night

[firstworldproblem]

Oh, the tails or ears are new. How cute!

[He clicks his tongue.]

Hard pass I'm afraid. There are enough parasites here. I don't need more

Re: Day 68 - Late at Night

[childeishly]

Then leave.

Re: Day 68 - Late at Night

[firstworldproblem]

Is that all I'm worth?

Re: Day 68 - Late at Night

[childeishly]

No, but I don't want to start attacking you.

Re: Day 68 - Late at Night

[firstworldproblem]

If you get violent, I can escort myself out.

Re: Day 68 - Late at Night

[childeishly]

You really enjoy being difficult, huh? [ he laughs, balling a fist and bringing it to his mouth to sink his teeth into. his own blood doesn't do anything for him, but the smell helps a little... ]
