[Just nodding. He understands that. It's the same impulse that makes him want to feel all the guilt in the world, let it burn him alive. When she says "you and Galo are okay," well. Maybe Galo's okay?]
A little. [ her fingers flex. ] Not angry, really. A bit resentful. [ and, honest: ] I didn't love Mammon the way I loved Phoenix, Lio. Shit's not fair, but that's the way it is.
[Shaking his head! That's not really his point. He doesn't care if the standards are different. He's concerned for Hunter.]
You can feel what you like for me, I can bear it, but you need to let go of any resentment of Hunter. He cares for all of you deeply. He carries that like a knife in his chest.
I know he does, and that's why I'm not going to ever let him know there's even a small amount of resentment there. He doesn't know. [ sniff. ] He's a good kid. He gets anger enough from other people, and I won't be anything but a beacon for him. I refuse to.
[yah sorry for punching u in the feelings core, beau.]
People are much worse at hiding things than they like to believe. [But] Good. I know you care about him. I will do my best to look out for him as well.
[ it's okay her feelings core has been a wild mess since friday, she's used to it. she sniffs in amusement at that first part. ]
I care about him a lot. Ever since the emotionsharing shit, he's been - more than I deserve. [ slow sigh. ] Thanks. I appreciate it. Both of you guys have something else in common now. I hope that helps.
Peach keeps telling me that we need to rely on each other. I think she's right. All of us working as a team, together - it's going to keep us going. So - so I kind of feel like pieces of me keep breaking off, but I can keep it together and to myself if I know we're all working towards a common goal. We gotta.
[Okay, so. Luna taught him how to do this, and, he is intent on practicing, so even though she is all owl feathers and friggin' bones just
leaning in there and hugging her? It's not a great hug. He is very awkward. He hugs like he's planning to actually tackle you in a fight, but he's doing his best, and therefore, cannot be criticized.]
it surprises her! at first she thinks he is tackling her, and she makes a surprised almost-defensive noise, but. then she gets it, and her whole body relaxes. it's okay, she's a pretty good hugger, which means she can try to make up for how awkward it is. she sort of hiccups out a laugh and wraps her arms around him in return. ]
Yeah. Thanks. [ she mumbles. hugs sustain her. this'll keep her going for another few days. ]
