the waves were crashing round us almost as if we breathe inside the sea

"I do need to leave for Natlan to collect one of the girls.... I suppose I should speak to him while I'm there, apparently."

"I hope that creativity didn't break any of the Epiclese's rules, Wriothesley...."

"................ I think you know what I'm about to say."

".... Magic?"

"I'm not really bothered by the fact you're sitting here. I'm only curious how you got up here...."

. . . . . . . .

"Nothing— Just amused, is all."

"........ 'Wrio'...."

he looked at me and suddenly, flowers grew in my chest.

".... I'm missing a child."

"Ah— You're not interrupting, no. I just hadn't expected anyone to be here by the time I came around.... And Sedene hadn't mentioned you were waiting. Hopefully not for long?"

".... Why."

i shouldn't be jealous, you aren't even mine.

then come. shatter my illusion. because i don't know what else i can do to stop loving you.

He's not a mind reader, Wriothesley.... But luckily, he knows better than to say something for now. Just allowing that amused smile to quirk at the corners of his lips, a brow raising at him with a hum and head tipping to the side.

☆ : Hello????

@actusreusmensrea.bsky.social Hm. Interesting.

........ Oh.

☆ : I give up with this phone and typos. I'm never gonna get used to it. I'm so used to smaller keyboards 😭

I probably lack something fundamental that makes you human.

"I'm starting to think forgoing my heels were a mistake."

. . . . . . . . Sighs.

Cease this?

................

if you really loved something, wouldn't a little bit of it always linger?

........ He's never really noticed the height difference with his usual shoes.

You wear a mask for so long, you forget who you were beneath it.

☆ : Bc he secretly wants to since being drunk tends to make people unintentionally honest, maybe....

☆ : He could've used the key! Why break his door a second time! Despair

the rains have ceased, and we are blessed with another beautiful day... but you are not here to see it.

........ And he's pretending that he didn't. Quietly sipping his water and moving along.

Cryo men (pretend derogatory).

most of the great triumphs and tragedies of history are caused , not by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally bad , but by people being fundamentally people

The waves, the waves, the waves

Admittedly, he had expected a little more push back on that— Pausing for a breath before offering a small smile, a bit surprised but overall content that it seemed to be a good suggestion. "Of course. I don't expect it to remedy the situation completely, just that it might help for a little while."

"You've gotten new welding and metal shaping tools that focus on detailing. Perhaps a project just enough to keep you occupied, but small enough where you won't get frustrated?"

"Occupied hands most of the time lead to an occupied mind."

........ Soft breath. Hums. "What if you were offered something to do with your hands instead? If it occupied you long enough."

"All I said is that it would be unfortunate if it was, not that it actually is."

It'd be unfortunate if the alcohol's been confiscated.

But when someone’s gone and you’re the primary keeper of his memory – letting go would be a kind of murder, wouldn’t it? I had so much love for him, even if it was a complicated love, and where is all that love supposed to go?

For a moment, he was successfully silenced when Wriothesley had emphasised the way he did. Uncertain if he should worry further or leave it be— Ignoring the curious want to gently push to ask for clarification, but ultimately knowing better than to do that. Not right now, not yet. Against his +

.... That earned him a very unimpressed, somewhat confused look. Blinking at Wriothesley once, lips pressed together to still show it. "You would rather eat a bag of ticks than receive extra supplies with the Fortress' usual shipments to make sure you're taken care of. Or make sure Sigewinne is +

☆ : I JUST SAW 002'S THING FOR CAPITANO, I'M CRYING

Despite the mild alarm that came from the way he had reacted to him and his concern, it had.... Rang a familiar alarm in his head. His surprise evident as he stared, lips parting briefly then falling shut again as to not interrupt him. He's only reacted like this at the beginning of the previous +
