[she will just have some wine. but drumming her nails against the bar table.]

Well, I didn't particularly see an alternate timelines I liked the sound of. I've always intended to go back. I'll have to face Lady Shar, but I don't know if she would be any more likely to let me go if I went elsewhere.

[noirges]

[ wine it is! he will match her and then go to take a seat next to her ]

Is that how it works...

[ actual for real gods and goddesses... ]

How are you feeling about facing her?

[sacredpath]

Shockingly optimistic. I have felt this week that her power over me has finally broken. I haven't been troubled by any pain from my wound, either.

[it would be so cool if this was permanent and not just a week effect though.]

[noirges]

.... okay, well I think you should understand that coming from me of all people we should still be checking your wound daily.

[ he has seen the other side of this... ]

But that is good news!

[ hE DOESN'T KNOW IT'S THE WEEK... HE DOESN'T KNOW....... ]

[sacredpath]

[putting her hand out - the wound looks the same as it always has.]

Very good news. But either way, I have people I need to return for and things I need to accomplish. [...] I guess what I've hoped is that after all of that is taken care of, then maybe I could still see some of the others. I would hate for it to be goodbye.

[noirges]

[ gently takes her hand in his... hrrrmmm. ]

I'll give you some of the bandages I carry around just in case...

[ he's a little quiet at the mention of seeing everyone again ]

... I guess we'll see what happens at the end of it all. I've heard different things but... I know what I'd like. I don't want to say goodbye to you, either.

[sacredpath]

[sighing. taking his hand back.]

I know it it's a lot to ask for. But I also can't imagine going back and not seeing you again...

[noirges]

[ not this! he refuses to let them get all glum right after titanic so he's just going to smile in a sly way, raising a brow ]

Oh? You like me that much?

[sacredpath]

[she just laughs at that.]

Of course I do, silly.

[noirges]

[ he just laughs in return, smile bright ]

I bet it's not even half as much as I like you.

[ and he'll shift so he can lightly lean against her ]

And I'm glad that I've gotten this time with you either way. I think my life—or afterlife?—would be really different if I didn't.

[sacredpath]

I won't compete with you on this, you play unfair.

[he's so good at saying nice otome things and she is NOT.]

But that's true for me as well, more than you know.

[noirges]

"Unfair", she says!

[ he laughs and rests his chin on his hand annoyingly, in a way that he knows is cute. insufferable. ]

I guess I don't mind being unfair in letting you know I love you.

[sacredpath]

[blushes...]

I do love you, too, you know. You are a very dear friend to me.

[why did that always feel like it would be too weird to say, before.]

[noirges]

[ oh!

well he didn't expect it, even so. he's so used to being the one to say i love you so easily but to hear it back surprises him, and he actually looks momentarily flustered before he just looks delighted ]

... ahaha, lucky me. Thank you. I'm... really happy to hear that.

[sacredpath]

[he's so cute. she smiles at his response, happy that it did in fact make him happy.]

Well...good. Maybe it's better to be like you, and not be shy about such things.

week 7, monday

[noirges]

[ why are all the locations bad

you know what's reliable? the bar!! yves will meet shadowheart at some point and with all his excess energy, he's already behind the bar and larping gabriel to look through the alcohol selection ]

What're you feeling today? Is there a drink good for reunions, do you think?

[sacredpath]

I think the sparkling wine tends to be for such occasions...?

[chin hands on the bar waiting for him to serve her.]

[noirges]

As the Mademoiselle requests then.

[ delightedly as he finds a bottle and two glasses. pouring them and offering one out to her! his free hand automatically reaches for hers ]

So how've you been?

[sacredpath]

[smiling back at him, fond.]

It has been quite depressing over here. I don't think I realized until today how tired all of us have been.

[noirges]

[ ah… he nods in understanding ]

It’s a heavy weight to carry, to be the ones who persist.

[ he knows that it’s half of what killed him the first time ]

[sacredpath]

It is. I hope it was kinder to you, being there with everyone we'd lost.

[noirges]

… I realized I get anxious, not being with the people who I selfishly think need me. Adolphe was the worst of it, but then losing Claude the way we did was hard.

[ so it was nice to be with them especially when he thinks they’re stupid (affectionate)

a beat ]

But then… when I was there, I was worried about everyone I left behind. I guess until today it felt like there was no real winning.

[sacredpath]

[yves' taste in boys is really specific and really unfortunate.]

It did seem that all of you were having a bit more fun over there, though I know you were worried for us.

[noirges]

[ after much consideration his type this game can be summarized as “counterproductive”

but also he’s pausing ]

I’m constantly torn about exactly how much fun we had.

[sacredpath]

Oh? It was not always fun...?
