What would you consider the most unforgivable thing that a person could do to you? Something that someone could do, that they could never take back?

If it has been done to you, what happened? How did you treat that person afterward, if you kept in contact with them? If you didn't, do you regret ever severing off from them?

Have you done anything unforgivable? How did people respond to that--did they let you get a word in edge-wise to explain, or did they abandon you? Did you have to find your own way afterwards? How did it go for you, if so?

Do you think there's anything that one can do to earn forgiveness, depending on the severity of what happened? Do they deserve it? Does it depend? And is there a certain point that someone's allowed to give up on trying to find it, and should just stop trying to be good?

I'm curious as to what everyone's answers will be. Please don't give anymore info than you're comfortable with; these are just things that have been on my mind, lately. And please don't be rude to each other.

[this seems. infinitely more like a stream of conscious than anything actually coherent, but there's at least an attempt at maintaining some modicum of privacy. have at. be it on main or giving yourself a nice plurk-style anon-name, go for it.]

...I don't think it's a secret that I trust you. I don't know feelings well and I could try to ascribe so much I've seen on TV to try and find it but--I don't want to do that. I'm going off what's in front of me. You've always been here for me and patient with me, and you're the only one I've told about this. I can only think of one other person I'd want to tell this all to, at least right now, but...

I don't...want to run anymore. From being seen by others, from...being. Even if I don't know the first thing about that. We're...kind of similar like that, I think? Maybe, at least.

[Sayaka shakes her head. And her expression goes...surprisingly determined.]

Could I...ask you to call me Sayaka, from now on?

[bloodweapon]

[...She really has come such a long way from the girl she was at the start of all of this, hasn't she?]

Very well. Sayaka it is. I'm happy to call you as such.

[She had to explain it to him initially, why she preferred to use her last name, but it was something he understood and accepted. It isn't lost on him that using her first name is a big step for her, and Fray finds himself proud of her. She can likely hear it in his voice, as he's done nothing to try to hide it.]

You're right. We do have quite a bit in common, in that regard. Neither of us has truly had the chance to simply be ourselves, for one reason or another.

[Vastly different reasons, from vastly different worlds, but still the sentiment remains.]

Though I may not be the first one to bear the name "Fray Myste", it is a name I have decided to make mine, for the time being. I intend to enjoy my time here and learn to truly... be. I trust you'll walk this path with me, then, Sayaka?

[destage]

[Sayaka listens, and she feels her expression brighten with each word of Fray's that she hears. The tone, there's no caveat to it. There's no caveat to the proud tone he is of her, at least, not one she can visibly see. She's always prided herself on her ability to read people, and yet...

She finds herself smiling--the expression is awkward, strange, but deeply appreciative and warm and she feels herself rub at her eyes a bit as she chuckles.]

...Mind reading was my old shtick, you know! Did you really think I was going to let you walk through this all by yourself?

No chance.

[Sayaka moves to hug Fray again, but it's with care and gentleness--there's no greed in the gesture and she'll back off if it's unwanted, but it's...

Freeing. It's freeing.]

...No matter where you end up at the end of your own path, Fray, I'm not going anywhere. You've stuck with me through my worst, through all of thus fumbling--the least I can do is...

...No, that's not right. I want to support you, like you've supported me. I want to know who "Fray Myste" will end up at the end of this path, and I'll gladly follow you down it until the end.

Promise. And...thank you. For everything...

[...That comes with a little bit of an unintended yawn, and Fray might feel her briefly unwrap an arm to rub at her eyes a bit--she really did tucker herself out today...]

[bloodweapon]

[It gets a scoff from Fray and a roll of those golden eyes, but it's good-natured rather than sarcastic. He doesn't mind the hug at all, wrapping his arms around her easily. It still probably isn't comfortable at all, but there's no hesitance in the gesture.]

I'm glad, then. That we can support one another on this path we walk. Let's see where it takes us, shall we?

[But for now... there's really only one place that path should lead, isn't there?]

Let's return back to the dorms. Best hold on tight.

[And with that - said with the sort of teasing that implies he's about to do something dumb - Fray moves to lift Sayaka in a bridal carry. Ready to head back to the dorms on your dark knight chariot??]

[destage]

[Oh! Sayaka seems a little surprised, but it's dampened a touch by the tiredness--even so, it gets a small giggle out of her nonetheless, and she wraps an arm around his neck to support herself. Best not to make this difficult for him.]

Absolutely. Lead the way, Fray...

[...

It absolutely doesn't take long for Sayaka to fall asleep in the safety of being carried by him, and it's a very deep sleep. Enough to ignore any disaster going on elsewhere!

She can deal with the guilt of that in the morning--]
