... It's just tea.

[ a little awkwardly. he doesn't want it to be obvious he's trying to comfort because he's...bad at it!!! ]

[unsaid]

So it is, so it is.

[he will take a sip and hum]

Thank you regardless.

[skyagain]

... Saturdays aren't easy for anyone. Pretty sure we established that.

[ so. y'know. he is sooooo bad ]

[unsaid]

[he is.

but honestly how bad he is at it manages to get mikazuki to smile faintly]

... Shinobu Kocho and Tsurumaru Kuninaga will feel this loss most deeply, though many of us here surely had the time to grow attached to Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd as well.

As long as others are being seen to well enough, I will find my contentedness.

[skyagain]

... Is it easier to see others taken care of? Since you're used to feeling loss.

[unsaid]

I have all the kindness I need.

[lifting his little cup of tea....

. . . but he laughs to himself]

And I think it a common feeling. To want to know that your loved ones are being paid attention to.

[skyagain]

... I guess.

[ in a tone like he's never thought about it much, though he's a little flustered at the call out of tea. stop it. ]

But... doesn't the same go the other way?

[unsaid]

[he hums thoughtfully]

... it is not the first time I have lost a friend. It shall not be the last, regardless of how I feel on the matter.

I will mourn and grieve... but I require less coaxing them some, to come to terms with those feelings.

[skyagain]

... I don't know if "I"m used more to loss" works much as an excuse for other people not to worry about you.

[unsaid]

Oh? But I am so well-practiced in it.

[like he's telling a joke]

[skyagain]

There's no way I'm gonna believe people have never called you out on it.

[unsaid]

[ . . . . well.

he will just sip his tea]

And you?

You endured the same nine hours just as I - though you also ventured out to the mountains while quite injured indeed.

[skyagain]

I was fine. [ a little sulkily, but he shakes his head very lightly ] ... I'm not close with Dimitri. Just happen to be friends with people who are.

[ is secondhand grief a thing ]

[unsaid]

[it is actually]

... then we are lucky to know you, and receive your care.

[skyagain]

[ he looks a little dubious before he shrugs his shoulder ]

Don't know that I'd go that far.

[unsaid]

That is just as well.

For it is only important to me that you know that I would, and remain firm in my belief.

[skyagain]

[ how did this get back to be about him he's in hell ]

... You're dodging.

[unsaid]

I am expressing my sincerity to you.

[skyagain]

Multi-task dodging, then.

[unsaid]

My question is thus:

What would you like for me to say?

[skyagain]

... I'm not... looking for a specific answer or anything. [ he frowns a little. ] I guess if you say you're fine, it should be enough.

[unsaid]

[ . . . . he will reach out to gently put a hand on cloud's shoulder - a light touch so he doesn't bother any possible injuries]

... I am not fine, but I will be. I will miss my friend, just as I miss all who leave ahead of me. However I am buoyed with knowing that I have little intention of leaving our separation permanent, and that I am surrounded by caring people.

That is my truth.

[skyagain]

[ he has one good shoulder mikazuki can have that one to pat

he looks a little embarrassed because he knows he is being included in caring people which is a nightmare, but he nods after that ]

... Alright. Just... Wanted to be sure.

[unsaid]

... I know.

I do appreciate your persistence.

[skyagain]

[ embarrassing... ]

... Maybe I'll just stick to handing you tea.
