linkingup | IN THE FOREST OF THE LOST

[Yeah that sure is fresh blood!!!]

Celeste, yer bleedin' still??

[DO YOU NEED HELP??]

[ Shit, Eli's going to have to start carrying tissues for Celeste if this keeps happening. ]

Those are just tears, Izou.

[ Chill, chill. ]

[Listen, he's not used to bitches (affectionate) sucker punching him in the feelings, okay--]

[ Look, Eli will even come over to Celeste and hang out with him while he tries to privately cry his horrible blood tears, reaching out to touch his arm once he's there. In hushed voice, ]

You going to be okay?

[No, stop perceiving him, pay attention to Mafuyu instead--

But, okay, no, this is. Fine.]

I... didn't know she felt so strongly... or that coming here was so important to her that it would appear like this.

[He knew it was important, sure, but. Palace-Final-Memory-Important?]

[ Mafuyu is busy sucking faces with Arven, so, no? ]

I kind of get it. Being here means she's had a chance to control her life completely... and I can't blame her for picking you to be an important part of it.

[...Fair.]

...It does, doesn't it. But you're biased.

I am! But I don't think anyone here would disagree with me, you know?

...And why would that be?

[...How many people are seeing through him now????]

[ Does he really not know...? ]

Celeste. You haven't been mean to a single person here this entire time. [ Wait, scratch that. ] Not counting Shadows...

Tears...?

[... He's crying blood??? Vampires do that???]

Ain't that like if we cried soup?

If we...

[ Soup?! Izou?! ]

Uh. I. I mean. If the only fluid we had in us was soup, then... yeah?

Well cause that's what Celeste eats, right??

Yeah? But... I mean... Okay, yeah, it is like that.

D'you think he could just... eat his own tears and survive on that if he needed to?

[CELESTE IS RIGHT THERE]

No.

[ Eli knows enough about vampires to know the answer to that, at least. ]

Well why not!

Because he needs fresh blood. It'd be like you trying to survive by just barfing up your lunch and eating it again. It wouldn't work.

[ What a beautiful way to describe that... ]

[HE'S FINE IT'S NO BIG DEAL IT'S JUST BITTERSWEET, OKAY--]

...Technically.

[Anyway that's definitely a little wobble in his voice, Izou.]

I'll be fine, just give me a minute.

[Pats him on the shoulder.]

Yer like the aunties cryin' at a wedding or something.

Eh?

[Mental record scratch-]

Am I, really?

[But, okay, that does get him to laugh a bit. Thanks, Izou.]

Well cause yer cryin' over Mafuyu getting her fairy tale ending, right?

[Izou happy tears are not the exclusive purview of wedding aunts.]

[He can sure lean into that as an excuse if it means he won't be Perceived by at least one person here--]

She deserves it, after all she's been through, no?

[Izou doesn't have the stats to perceive the real reason.]

Yeah! And she chose it on her own insteada havin' her mom choose for her.

[+1 to the 'why does he like them anyway' reasons--]

She'll never have to endure that again.
