disingenuous | kashuu catchall

[Kashuu's still in his outfit, but it was never ruined to begin with. Very funny! It's dry by now, but still probably smells like rain as he moves to sit next to Roxana. He doesn't seem outwardly injured, as before, though his eyes are still a little puffy like he's been doing some crying.]

...Guess it was kinda stupid to figure we'd get to check back in after that.

[THEIR DOOR CHOICES.]

[ Awww, Kahsuu. She won't mention anything about the puffy eyes. Roxana is as composed of as she ever is now. No one tried to stop her, so she didn't have to show how affected she was by her own ordeal. Very funny!

She rests her head against his shoulder. ]

We didn't know. [ ... ] It would have been nice, if we could have caught up with each other.

[ She is glad he didn't get to see her issues in play. ]

We are here, and we are alive.

[i hope the memshare bubbles get her >:\

But yeah, everyone really let Roxana just trounce off on her own, huh? Even Kashuu - though he was busy being very sad and also trying to make sure Estinien didn't fckin die on him. When she rests her head against his shoulder, he reaches out to gently pat the top of it, careful in case there are injuries he can't see.]

...It would've been, yeah.

[He wouldn't want his traumas on display either, but, well. They look like they took a beating, and what's a sword good for if not war?

The last statement has him sighing.]

We are. Guess all dreams really do end sooner or later, huh?

[ nope. people have to hit the right dialogue options with her. noooo cheating.

Yeah, she used Estinien and his exhaustion to her advantage today. ]

I don't know what you saw through your door, but I'm glad that dream ended when it did.

[this is so funny im losing my shit HELP

What a wild time, though. She really got to escape with all her traumas quietly tucked away, except for Estinien who saw it all with his little hobbit eyes.]

...Just a bad dream.

[Or many. It's hard for him to shake the anxiety that he might wake up any second here and be back under the bench in the abandoned greenhouse, waiting and waiting once more.]

Can't imagine anyone else's was any better. These field trips are the worst.

[ In some ways she's grateful it was Estinien she was with because she has a hunch he'll be like, I don't have time to care about or unpack all that for what her stage of the tower represented.

She's had enough dreams of how twisted her family is that it's no different from being awake for her. ]

They are. We don't need a small jaunt to tell us what we already know. Whatever you had to experience when we were apart, it won't be true here.

[ESTINIEN AND ROXANA REALLY WERE THE TWO MOST COMPATIBLE FOR THEIR VENTURE.

But, yeah, Kashuu doesn't particularly want to dwell on what happened and also is pretty sure no one else in their group wants to, either, so. Onward and upward.]

Yeah. ...I think - it might take a little time to, uh. Readjust. But things'll stay stable here. [...] In their way.

[ Roxana is 50% tempted to ask Kashuu what happened with him, but she doesn't want the return questions. Sucks to be on CYOA where you can be called out on your hypocrisy.

She hums a low note. ]

We'll go through the weekend like the past few, and today will just be another page in this terrible book.

[ She will be fine. Looks away from Sunday. She will be fine. ]

[This is exactly why he doesn't ask questions too so he would truly understand, hateful.]

...I guess so, huh? Kinda sucks that that's the way it is, but...

[He guesses there's some comfort in its predictability, or something.]

We don't know how to change it yet.

[ that's part of the problem, but that's all she can say. ]

Yeah. All we can do is work on trying to figure that out.

[Exhausting and also hateful, but it's fine.]
