[ ... ]

What about him?

[ yo guess who was denied pip time this game :pensive: ]

[unfriendliest]

...Shinobu killed Yu.

[ he'll say that for ash's sake, before turning back to lili. ]

How'd he take it?

[coastal]

... not well.

[and that pc is still going but lmao

she turns to ash]

... Akira told me, so I think he'd tell you as well. Otherwise... I'm not sure how far he wants the information to spread, so I'm willing to contain it for now until I confirm with him.

[voidbreaker]

Did they find out why?

[ hm. ]

... [ he's quiet for a moment or two. ] ... Your friend's probably struggling with all this death, huh. He been holding up, or is he starting to struggle?

[unfriendliest]

Not yet.

[ at least not that kara's heard, but that means very little lmao. ]

...I think he needs more support. But I don't know how to give it to him.

[coastal]

[she shakes her head]

... we don't get to find out why. Just a name.

[she'll be honest about that, and she's going to glance at kara, then ash.]

... he's struggling. He snapped at me a few times on Friday. [she doesn't seem offended though, because she's used to being snapped at.] It's not like him. But I think that's just... grief.

[voidbreaker]

When did you tell him? After she'd died?

[ there's a pause. ]

...

I can try talking to him, if you want. Don't know him as well, so what's he got to lose by talking to me?

[unfriendliest]

Dimitri doesn't seem like the type to open up about that sort of thing if he doesn't know you.

[ but hey, what does kara know. he's terrible with people. ]

[coastal]

I told him tonight, shortly after I found out.

[pcs timelines,,,,,]

.... but he likes people. I think... he might be more distrusting now, but... I think Dimitri wants to get along with others more than he might show sometimes.

He's very nobility proper that way.

[lonely nobility recognizes lonely nobility]

[voidbreaker]

... Let's just say we share a common ground and leave it at that. Whether that's enough to, y'know, get him talking to me or not I don't know but -- [ he shrugs ] -- I'll leave the ball in your court.

[ ... well. that's one thing to note. ]

So just keep talking at him until he loosens up? [ sound? familiar? ]

[unfriendliest]

[ LOOKS

AWAY ]

[coastal]

[lili is going to wonder for two whole seconds what dimitri and ash can have in common, seem to realize it suddenly, and then keep her mouth shut about it.




and then she'll glance over at kara looking away, and try to hide a smile behind her hand]

Oh...

Something like that.

[voidbreaker]

[ i'm so tired of jrpgs




he shrugs, but looks cheerful. ]

I think I've got it down to an art now.

[unfriendliest]

[ kara is so tired ]

Very funny.

[coastal]

It's a little funny...

[she's happy when she's not the one getting roasted between the two of them?]

[voidbreaker]

It's very funny.

[unfriendliest]

Go back to your own cabins.

[coastal]

This is my cabin -

Oh!

[and then she's going to reach out her hand to ash, palm out!! hi5?! is this the right timing for a hi5?!]

[voidbreaker]

[ this is exactly the right time for a high five, he's proud of you lili. and he holds up his hand.

high five. ]





[ yeah no he's not going anywhere, kara. ]

[unfriendliest]

[ rolling! his eyes! at both of you! ]

[coastal]

[she hi5s ash!

and just tries to suppress her amusement with kara. it doesn't work. she'll at least try to reach for his hand]

Don't be cross. I'm glad we all get along.

[voidbreaker]

[ is kara jealous? does he want a high five too? ]

[unfriendliest]

[ he's just giving ash this face. why would he want a high five for that. ]

[coastal]

.... I'm pretty sure we all get along....

[voidbreaker]

I think we'd know if we didn't.

[ like

y'know. yesterday.




even if everyone thought they were just flirting. ]
