W-well... they started attacking us, and then we remembered what this spirit we'd talked to in another time had said — that the only cure for that kind of corruption was... something that would be left behind when you destroyed a spirit. So... I told him I'd tell him how he could save them while Cloud kept fighting them off.
[ he's tearing up again now, and sets the spoon back down so he can wipe his eyes. ]
And I told him what they told us. That if he wanted to save them, he had to die... and if he didn't, then he'd have to live with that.

[oh noooo
she comes around the table to sit next to him and hug him? she can't help it, tears make her sad even if the person crying does it all the time.]
... I'm sorry.

[ he hugs her back tight... probably getting tears and snot on her clothes, which he'll have to apologize for later. ]
He was scared and he didn't want to do it, but he agreed to. And... there wasn't any time, and Cloud was still fighting both of them... a-and I had a knife, so...

Oh, honey.
[augh. this breaks her heart. she pulls him close and hugs him tightly, petting his hair. she doesn't seem to mind if he snots on her clothes, she's had worse.]
Shhh. You did what you had to.

None of it was real.
[she says, softer.] It's okay to feel like it happened, and to feel the effects of it - it's hard. But in the end you have to remember this is just something that was pulled out of someone's head to fuck with you.

[lup is in the solarium! she has a cup of coffee, and she's sitting in the sun, just. quietly. she is soaking it in. she has a half-finished flower crown in her lap but she's like, a cat, so she got distracted by sunbathing.]
It really feels like it. [she says, with a sigh.]
Hi, bud. [the sun is shining... it's so nice.]
Hi, bud. [the sun is shining... it's so nice.]
Right? Me either.
[a beat, and she glances at him.] Huh? Oh - do you mean with the furries? Sure, of course. I thought it was total bull that they were ragging on you after you looked like you were going to leave it alone.

[she grins, when he snorts.]
You're justified. Don't let them tell you you're not. They wanna get all up in arms and pick fights because my sinners didn't get yelled at, but the fact is they didn't get someone innocent voted for. That's plenty reason to be mad, even if the shadows do feel like you have to get away with it the whole trial.
You were calm about it. And you don't have to forgive anybody. They don't get to pick on you because you don't have a swarm of people behind you. Bullshit. I've got your back.

Yeah, exactly!!
It really kind of stinks not having a group like that. So... yeah. Thanks.
[ huff... ]
I'm supposed to be listening to people I disagree with as my task right now, but... I couldn't do it with that...
[ he kind of did with rin?? he hopes that counts since he did have to make a concerted effort not to keep arguing. ugh. ]

Of course. [she gestures to him. come here and let her be affectionate.] You've got me as long as you want me.
[as for the task, she looks a little amused.]
I don't blame you, I don't think I could've kept my mouth shut either. I - well, I didn't, so. [lmao] I'm supposed to learn a word or slang and use it wrong in public and I have no idea how to do that, so we're in the same boat.

[ man, why didn't he get that one! he does that every day and doesn't even realize it!!
but yeah, he'll come sit with her. ]
Uh... maybe I can like, give you some kind of legal word and not tell you what it means and you can just stick it into a conversation somewhere?

I think it's supposed to be on purpose. [she ruffles his hair gently.] You can do that, sure, tell me something and I'll use it wrong.
[she gives him an amused look.]
Those are very complicated terms. [she is maybe teasing a little.]
