[he leans into the touch a little bit, reflexively. i think every day about how he has a ribbon tied into his fucking hair that does NOTHING it's still all loose.]
M-me too. I wanted to at least... try to meet them all, and they explained things a little more.
[he lets her! he seems used to this, actually? it's been a little bit since someone brushed his hair like they usually do for him, or dried it for him after washing.]
One of them said... they wanted me to rethink not finding my partner. Th-that finding them would let me wish for something. They were... suggesting it so that I could fix my lifespan, b-but even if I don't think I would use it for that, I thought I should... make sure I told you, if none of them mentioned it.
[she's happy to do it - the casual little touches are her lifeblood.
there's a pause, and she smiles a bit at him.]
It got mentioned to me, yeah, for the same reason. That I could fix myself that way, but - if I die here, I'd be sentencing my partner to death. I can't.
I won't put someone in harm's way for my own gain, s'just not how I do things. [...] Thanks, though. For telling me.
I-I thought you might not, but... I wanted to make certain.
[it would suck if she could and would save herself and didn't know.]
I don't know, yet. I still don't want to risk someone, but they wanted me to... consider it if someone found me and... let people help. Um, I think they were a little mad at me.
Right...? Famine is intimidating, b-but they turned out to be kind regardless... and Death let me help them even if they don't want to be friends... War didn't mind answering my questions, a-and Pestilence talked to me about books...
[a beat, before-]
Oh- I need to remember to bring Olive something, the next time I speak with them.
What a cute name, aw. [she's so determined to befriend the birds too, even though they hate her and want her to die.] I gave War's bird a button off my outfit the other day and it spent like ten minutes whacking it against my horn.
If you find a shiny thing horde, let me know. They like those, apparently.

I'll just have to pick you up instead. [hehe.]
You mean our culty friends? Yeah, I talked with all four. Did you?
no subject
M-me too. I wanted to at least... try to meet them all, and they explained things a little more.
no subject
They talked to me a bit about some stuff, sure. What'd they tell you?

[local sadboy gets fucking scolded]
no subject
Mad at you, huh? Which one was it?
no subject
[maybe? probably?? he's so confused about them.]
no subject
They got real stubborn about some stuff, but I'd like to see anybody try to out-stubborn me.
no subject
[it'd be something to see. he actually does kind of want to see them try to win a conversation with karlach now?]
I-it was a little surprising, though... but I thought that they were all... fairly nice.
no subject
Me too. Even War, cranky old bastard. I think you've got to be, to want to help at all. They could've just left us to die, but they didn't.
no subject
[or at least they had a pretty decent conversation by mathis's standards, which are, admittedly, on the floor.]
But... I agree with you. If they don't want to see us die, then making the effort to help us... it's kind of them.
no subject
I couldn't get a whole lot out of them, but then again - I wasn't trying much. I'm more interested in making friends, if I'm honest.
no subject
[his mood is staying pretty good overall, really, he presumably had a nice time.]
Death showed me how to weed the garden, too.
no subject
[she's so proud!!!]
Which of them did you like the most?
no subject
[help? help. he doesn't know how to take that compliment.]
It'd be difficult to choose one, though.
no subject
Hah, diplomatic. [a beat.] I'd have a hard time picking too, I guess. They've all got their little quirks.
no subject

Oh- I need to remember to bring Olive something, the next time I speak with them.
no subject
Olive? That one of the birds?
no subject
Pestilence's bird!
I-it... pecked me, and them... so I wanted to try bringing it a distraction.

Thanks, daisychain, but don't stress yourself out too bad looking, alright? I'll survive.
