PICK-O'S

Comments

Woo... woof, woof.

[ The puppy would prefer not to link with anyone, as it enjoys living instead of having power. The puppy has been careful of who to share them with. ]

... awoo.

[ The puppy says one such person was Aventurine. ]

[recession]

Agreed.

...

[ And he's somber at this. ]

I'm sorry to hear it. No way to control it, the ways we form our connections with people... When they're gone.

[ Pickles whines a little, resting his head on Daan's lap again.

The puppy will miss Aventurine. ]

[recession]

[ He hesitantly puts a hand on Pickles's head. ]

I know.

Take the moment if you need it.

[rimet]

... Woof.

[ The puppy says it has mourned enough, but thanks you. ]

[recession]

It's barely been a day. You shouldn't be forced to feel like you've grieved too much.

Some pain... it'll stay with you, for a while...

[rimet]

[ Pickles tilts his head a little, whining.

The puppy wishes for closure for both. ]

[recession]

[ Closure. Yeah. His expression fragments just the tiniest bit at that word, something slightly more fragile peeking through the cracks. ]

I know...

Let's hope we can get it. Closures, answers... both.

[ Pickles will stay with Daan while resting against him. It's a lot of comfort. It's nice too, to have someone agree with him like this. ]
