[ These hallucinations... they shift, from her voice to theirs, and back to hers. Very mean but funny of the flavourtext to say it's laughter and all, because he hears giggles, an unfulfillable promise of together forever... but it's fainter as the tea wears off slowly, the imagined feeling of her arms around his shoulders disappearing. He just looks at his hand being held, actually real in this moment. ]
It's... wearing off, I think. Sorry for the trouble and all. I'll be alright.
[ It really is the fact that I have to live with that Pickles is ICly conventionally handsome and I have to be blind to it being Timmy Chalamet because Daan would not know who that is. You're like a weird son to me who is also man's best friend.
It's not quite a proper smile, just maybe sort of a ghost of one but there was an attempt at coming off as okay. ]
I do hope you'll be open to me helping you when you're in trouble like this too.
[ Look, those are just his thoughts, okay. I think Pickles can do so much. (but he's dead)
Pickles looks up at Daan. ]
... Then, I am glad that you think so. It is rather difficult to do so as a dog due to communication failures, so to hear that I have helped you in a way that matters means a lot to me.

There was an attempt and Pickles squeezes his hand for a moment. ]
I will. I am aware that things are difficult to get through alone, even if I would prefer to be alone sometimes.

[ He squeezes Daan's hand a little. ]
Would you mind me staying here for a little while? Or would you prefer to be alone, now that things are a little better?

[ You being locked into playing human!Pickles for backtags is taking me out. ]

Pickles smiles at him, because he definitely wants to stay. ]
I do not need to be entertained. As long as I have your company, I am satisfied.
