[ 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.
