[ what the fuck vash.

What the fuck, Vash. ]

[piteous]

Listen. I'm not just going to keel over and die violently! I was fine! I am fine!

[ Actually, maybe that's why I died? I do not remember. The death haze that the premise gave them. ]

My hair's just black!

[roseoftexas]

You just told me about a phenomenon where black hair means you're gonna die??

[piteous]

I think it's more that I've become? Mortal? Ish?

[roseoftexas]

...

[ old: complicated. ]

Is that a good or a bad thing?

[piteous]

... Goo...d...?

[ I don't want to live forever. ]

[roseoftexas]

…

This got even more depressing, very fast.

[piteous]

I'm good! Seriously!!!

[ PLEASE ]

[roseoftexas]

Sure, but— will other people be good about it too?

[piteous]

... No, they won't.

[ But what can they do? ]

I wish I could do something to... You know. Not make them feel so bad about it.

[roseoftexas]

[ he shrugs. That’s not your problem to deal with. ]


People will feel how they want to feel about it. That’s their right, as much as it’s yours to want to help or keep going.

[piteous]

[ Just... A defeated look. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ pff. ]

Nah, you don’t get to look sad about that.

[piteous]

I'm the one who is technically dying.

[ just kidding it's wolfwood ]

[roseoftexas]

[ attacks lowe with my little fists ]

Death affects many. We’ve kinda had a six week crash course in this haven’t we?

[piteous]

We did.

Should I say... Thanks for worrying?

[roseoftexas]

I doubt I’m the only person.

[piteous]

You're the only one here.

[roseoftexas]

[ side eye. ]

Even if I am, you have a lot of people who like and worry about you, you know.

[piteous]

Thanks for worrying, Shooey Shu!

[ More confidently this time. I don't know... If I deserve it, but it makes me happy. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ People think you do. ]

Mm. It won't just be me.
