It's not really about me, I came to check on you. You know, given... everything.

I haven't got anything else, so yeah.

[ablazement]

[big, tired sigh.]

Well, if you're checking on me, you know I don't like being alone.

[a beat.]

I'm... well, I'm not fine. I feel like shit. I can't fix anything with Rondo, and I've fucking died multiple times this week, but I haven't really got the choice to just not be okay. So I will.

[recession]

... You can be not-okay.

[ It's easier when it's other people who aren't. ]

[ablazement]

[rubs at her face again.]

Feels bad. [like taking up room.]

[recession]

Doesn't everything ever?

[ He sits back down, looking her over. Seem like she can walk or nah? Is there a TV in this room? ]

[ablazement]

[she seems pretty okay physically, like. she died, so everything healed mostly. she's got scars and a few burns left.

and sure there can be a TV.]

Not always. [...] I was doing okay like two days ago.

[recession]

[ He's turning it on then, they can watch wahtever garbage decides to show up on the screen. ]

If we were all doing constantly alright, then the world would be a much different place.

Boring, maybe. It's hard to be happy if you never feel sad, or upset, or other.

[ablazement]

Other.

[she repeats, a little amused by that. she'll watch the screen, idly.]

I don't mind all that. It's just been... extremes, here. [...] Fam keeps telling me I'm bad at letting people help, so I guess it - I guess this is me trying.

[recession]

"Happy or unhappy" felt like it'd be redundant to say.

...Really. Never felt like you've pushed me away, here.

[ablazement]

I think I've been a bit more honest with you than most people.

[she only really told him that she was giving up, the night in the bubble.]

[recession]

Honoured, maybe.

Even if I'm equally just as good-for-nothing there.

[ablazement]

It's more that you don't ever take.

You're a comfortable person to be around. Wish you'd let yourself take up more space, but it's what makes it easy to talk to you. Has from the start.

[recession]

Haven't got much to.

Force of habit? Servants aren't really meant to be seen all that much.
