I guess I had an advantage in that I just... didn't have a good view of myself to start with as far as personal wherewithal, oddly, so it was a bit like... well, nothing to lose, there.
But it helped to have people in my corner, so... it's good. That he has you. It took a while for me to... even get to here, after all.
Yeah, but he's never talked about her much. I dunno how much they share. I know she's been through a lot too - lost her little brother in front of her eyes and everything. Still...
I think me and Talon probably know the most. That's why we went nuts when Jason disappeared. And he wouldn't wanna burden a kid with his problems, so.
Of course here I am having said I'd like a day to unwind and here I am worrying about other people, but...
...I know how important he is to you. So—while I... like having you all to myself now and again, I'm glad it helps him to have you. If there's anything I can do, er... let me know, too, I guess.
Well—not that it'd be anything the same with me being there, since he's not really about vulnerability, but it's not as if I'm not used to living in military close quarters, anyway.
A little sad I missed all those cute drunk nap piles honestly. Looked cozy.
[ she clearly has to review like. every single moment of her life, ticking off things on her fingers, weighing some options— ]
Well, you were there for the time Cardinal caught me out at just agreeing with them all the time in decision-making... Actually a lot of these involve Cardinal coming for me personally, huh.
Honestly I still can't help feeling a little intimidated by them... Amaranth too. Even though they don't really bother reprimanding me with my behaviour.

You don't really get over that sort of thing.
So, that's why...

He probably just thinks it makes him weak. And he-- hates letting anyone see that.
[and that's just. so hard...]

[Hums in contemplation,]
Being able t'sleep more than... well, never might help him stay stable. He doesn't get nightmares if I'm there.
But I can't stay at BAD END all the time, obviously. And I'd miss you.
no subject
Too bad we can't have a... what do the kids call them, slumber parties, or something.
no subject
But, yeah. Our beds're big enough, too.
[But it's still nice to think about...? His cheeks go red, and he smiles fondly. Not in an embarrassed way, just-- it was a nice thought.]

I guess all've us should figure out a Nero custody sleep schedule.
[IT'S A CUTE THOUGHT THOUGH! he... doesn't feel opposed! after all jason needs help. help jason.]
Nap piles are all cute and cozy until you start blabbing your pent up secrets. Then it's mortifying.

Don't you trust this face?
no subject
It's true. With a face like that, I can't help but put my life in your hands, it's just so trustworthy.
Well done on the subterfuge.
no subject
...now I'm trying to think of if I do have any secrets.

What about....... most embarrassing thing that's ever happened t'you?

I guess they’re not a complete genius at some things. They don’t know how to handle some kinds of people at all...

no subject
But I guess they’re a stubborn sort of person, too.
no subject
I guess with someone like them, who's so driven... they don't really 'get' self-loathing that doesn't strive to climb outta that hole.
no subject
Something like that, I think. They really only know one way to be.
That, and I guess they’re afraid they’re always... manipulating everyone around them?
