[probably not so quickly, but she definitely would have.]
When I said yesterday I thought I decoded Charlie's letter, the code spelled out his name. [i know you weren't here so anyway she said on chipper that she decoded a secret code in charlie's last letter but was writing back to charlie for confirmation, since the answer was kind of ambiguous.] And I wouldn't leave a friend to suffer that way any more than you would.
So don't apologize. I'm glad you found a way to help, one none of us had thought to consider.
... I think you're all stronger than I am. [ softly. because he can admit: ] I wouldn't have been able to. Not him.
[ yves hates himself for breaking firefly's trust. he probably wouldn't even be able to look at himself in the mirror if it was claude's. he's clearly experiencing a few complicated emotions, not sure what to do with everyone getting letters about claude, but they're all a little half-formed.
[ the hand helps. he takes it automatically, and takes in a deep breath to try to gather himself again. enough for a smile, and it is sincere. her obvious care does heal his heart ]
That would require him to fully comprehend how much I care, which I think he was too awkward to do sometimes. [ this is a roast but it's such a loving on, he is so fond ] But that's okay, that's what letters are for.
I just wanted you to know. Saber and Uruha know. I'm telling Monsieur Richie because I think he deserves to. And then I'm just going to tell Monsieur Lucas and Anders.
I don't really mind if anyone else knows, but I do hope it provides some hope for another option if two are afflicted again.
So true. [no that's our claude, a total dweeb.] Though I'm sure, from you, he couldn't be entirely oblivious.
[as long as we never catch two afflicted and have to choose which to save and which to kill :) ]
Understood. I agree with those choices. Would you mind if I told Mizu? He and I have been discussing what to do about the afflicted, and it would be good for him to know there are other options.
[like actually maybe it's best to have our most murderhands people aware of this fact.]
If you'd prefer I didn't, that's fine. I'll talk to him if a situation where it would be relevant comes up.
[ yves is so openly loving and claude really is so dense. but haha wow weighing lives in a murdergame? surely not.
he shakes his head ]
No, it's fine. I'm open to it. I trust Mizu, too. I don't think it's even a big problem if everyone knows it's an option, but I'd rather not cause ripples before we even need it.
Not that I have any specific person I would suspect of doing this, but it wouldn't be that difficult for someone to kill for an apple and then claim to be afflicted. The only reason no one would so far is because thinking they're afflicted would be more likely to result in their death.
well the fact that yves looks shocked probably lends to how much he just trusts people, but that's no surprise since he literally just believed it was self-defense until brimstone said otherwise ]

I would have killed him myself, if they hadn't.

... this place is really horrible, isn't it?

It is horrible. I'm sorry, Yves. I'm sure it would have meant the world to him, that you cared this much.

Sometimes... I guess I just forget that people can... lie? [ a little laugh ] I'm glad I have people like you to remind me.

Then if you're good at being a little cynical, and I'm good at being a little hopeful, then that means together we're complete, right?
no subject
Seems that way. You always know what to say.
no subject
So if it feels right, then I'm glad.
