post palace takeout! [week 5]

[beathollow]

( at some point a bedraggled lot in yukatas manage to make their way to the dorm, shower and patch themselves up. and then mafuyu makes a very earnest request that they all go out for dinner, and, well, apparently many struggle to refuse her.

this is how they find themselves in something akin to a denny's or an ihop at like, midnight.




as one does. )

Funny, I used to consider myself a wholly solitary person.

[ Resonating heart born to reach out to one another... If that was really the case, that purpose had been beaten out of McGillis before he had time to even commit it to memory. For over two decades, he felt he was fine this way. He'd built anger around him like a fortress, and he'd turned any would-be conquerors away at the gate.

Gaelio's tears have taken a battering ram to the fortress door, and now McGillis has to decide whether to fix it up or to take it off its hinges entirely.

A discussion he'd been having with himself for weeks now, and which is only accelerating to dizzying speeds at this fine Dennihop. ]

If it weren't for your open nature, I might consider that another commonality. A lot of us are closed off and guarded, aren't we?

[ Izou and Eli wear aggression as a shield, Mafuyu has a whole separate personality stashes away, Kirumi does not allow personal relations due to the nature of her work, Celeste is... entirely too familiar in the way he dances around people... And Yi Sang has admitted to a past of avoidance all on his own earlier. It's only Sunrise that McGillis doesn't have a read on in this regard. ]

...But that has changed now, has it not?

[ Argenti doesn't usually encounter familiar faces all that often within a short span of time due to his travels - it has been slightly changing due to the nature of the Trailblazer and Boothill's general existence. ]

I suppose even if I am rather open, I do usually tend to live a solitary life, before I arrived here. A Knight of Beauty often needs to go on their journeys alone.

But, generally I believe that some of us here do seem to fit the description of closed off and guarded to a point, yes! I am not too familiar with everyone else to know it is for certain a great number of us, though I would not doubt it either.

...I believe that, perhaps, the past has been a main reason for that. Though, it does not take away from how we have all managed to bond regardless.

[ Therefore, it evidently does not surprise him. Argenti considers himself indeed a rather open person, as McGillis has pointed out. ]
