[congratulations you get slightly less panicky mathis today
this is probably because he's back in his usual outfit, including the knife strapped to his thigh and the choker around his neck; he feels a bit more secure with them there, though he's definitely still soft-spoken, hesitant as he gives lavi a little nod in greeting.]
M-monsieur-? [oops he didn't get his name except off those parchments and maybe he shouldn't just say it-- so he doesn't.] Did you... find anything of yours too?

You can just call me Lavi if you want! I'm only a year older than ya.
[don't MONSIEUR HIM unless you really want to like lucas. at the question, he turns on the spot, as if to show off red and black uniform, along with his scarf and non-flower eyepatch]
Got my clothes and my hammer back. [he's not holding a hammer?] What about you?

[lavi will wander on into the church because he's nosy]
Hey, Mattie.
[he's mostly covered up, so there's no skin showing but luckily(?) for him, a number is printed on his chest.... and loops around his body because it's an insanely high number? well into the thousands and beyond. it's fine.]
Are the pews comfy?

-!
[he shrinks away a little, hurriedly wrapping a blanket around himself to try to cover the words on him.
it's only going to work temporarily but he doesn't know that]
U-um, they're... they're not very comfortable, but I can still sleep here...

[as soon as he sees mathis he'll head on over!!!]
Mathis -- you okay?
[HOW IS HE? OUR VIRCHE REALLY FOUND A(NOTHER) BODY]

[HOW IS HE? OUR VIRCHE REALLY FOUND A(NOTHER) BODY]
H...huh-?
[oh hi lavi. he's still in the church, actually, on a pew near the front, attention drawn from the baptism pool as he glances up to lavi.]
There was- someone was...

[he will wander over and approach Mathis when he sees him,]
...Nice catch.
...Nice catch.
O-oh, um... thank you...
[he's quiet, and doesn't sound very assured of this.]
[he's quiet, and doesn't sound very assured of this.]
[hewwo. mathis is on the island, hesitantly reaching out to pet a round, precious cow...
when it affectionately licks his face with its big ol' cow tongue. he is so slobbered upon.]
Ack-!

Ack-!
[CUTE.... Lavi laughs because of course he does,]
Making friends?
Making friends?
[WELL Lavi has been a lizard for so long but for the sake of this pc he has finally turned back into a human.... and there is something about finally being in his skin that has him duck into one of the houses to use their shower facilities instead of the freezing cold water back at the house.
he takes a few steps in and draws up short, alert -- immediately sensing that he's not alone? luckily the house isn't too large that he can't recognize the shape of this person immediately -- and it helps that his hair is so distinctive]
-- Mathis?

H... huh-?
[he blinks, glancing up with wide eyes that aren't quite focused on lavi-- they dart to the side briefly, his face falling as if listening to something he doesn't want to hear, and he quickly shakes his head.]
Don't- you shouldn't be....

[hi mathis how we feeling... Lavi will head over to him when he spots him,]
Hey. You find anything?
Hey. You find anything?
Um... yes.
[may or may not just sit right with lavi depending on how the other pc goes so this is schrodinger's affection.]
There was a hole in the barn roof, and... a trail leading to a pool of blood... we didn't find any of them there, though. Only weapons.

[yeah so you know how lavi has been wept on by him once already
this is probably going to happen again because when lavi comes across him he's already barely holding it in.]

[MATHIS!!!!!!
Lavi is fine with this? He will simply place his hand on Mathis's head and draw him into his chest, so that he can cry there. his own face is dry,]

[GETS SEIZED BY SHADOWS IG, and as they do, a memory unfolds.
"You observe history, but being who you are, have none to write about yourself."]
"You observe history, but being who you are, have none to write about yourself."]
[it's so unsettling, to him. of course it is-- he has no identity of his own in a different way, he was created for a specific purpose and patched together to enact it, and so the experience of seeing this is so....
it's strange, to find the dissonance familiar (you love her, you hate him) to find the lack of personal history familiar (because who is someone made up of other people) but for the situation to be so... so different.
one other thing is familiar, though, and that's... looking at someone he thought he had an idea of, who he thought he was familiar with, and realizing it isn't necessarily the truth. maybe he's too naive.
he can hardly speak, by the time he's able to, just... watching lavi with wide eyes.]
...Lavi...?
[it's a question in multiple ways. the desire to check on him is still very much there, but he also now has to question whether it's right to call him that.]

[THE LAST SECOND SEPARATION SCARED HIM WHERE DID YOU GO
this is whenever wherever waves hands]
[THE LAST SECOND SEPARATION SCARED HIM WHERE DID YOU GO
this is whenever wherever waves hands]
[NOT THE SCARED SEPARATION Lavi has probably hobbled on over to wherever Mathis and Lucas are so he can peek in on him,]
I'm okay! Yuu dragged me back and helped bandage me.
[more importantly, he is looking at Mathis's eye, brow furrowed]
How are you feeling?

[hi. you don't escape me despite the lack of pc call where is lavi. can mathis track his ass down.]
[STOP IM JUST SO SLAMMED WITH MEMSHARE AND THURS PCS
Lavi's at the town barn!!! at one of the horse troughs which is filled with water and also tinged black. it looks like he was in the middle of scrubbing something off his clothes, but for the moment he's just sitting on the ground with his back to it, looking tired.
he'll look up when he sees Mathis though, and wave]
Hey. How's your chest?

[yay execution is finished
he's letting lavi take kanda back, he has a stop to make for himself, but after that-- he comes to find lavi, giving him a relieved little smile.]
Um, I think... everything is over.

[Lavi's at the haunted house! He looks tired but who isn't, damn!!! at mathis' words, he just looks more worried??? HE BARELY RESISTS SHAKING MATHIS LIKE A MARACA, instead he just hovers anxiously in front of her]
So you're okay now? What happened?
[MATHIS!!! EXPLAIN IT TO HIM]
So you're okay now? What happened?

[the absolute jumpscare of this week
anyway of COURSE mathis is in the library. he's busy looking over the extensive shelves in awe, hands laced behind his back-- though he glances over with a smile when he spots lavi.]
Lavi-! Look how many there are...

[this icon is so cute
Lavi heads over to join him, because there's nothing like BOOKS after an insane week two.]
Thought I'd never get to read something besides a bible and a rulebook again.

[hi. today is bad! it's bad!
he's in the church, sitting here with his plant-- an orchid, with 'rosalie' written on the pot it's planted in-- and an open book on plant care, but he's not actually reading it. he's just looking at the page it's open to.]

Lavi comes over, glancing at the orchid and the book and then at Mathis,]
Mathis.

Mathis.
[we're at the pyre!! lavi is sitting on a bench, but his back is to caelus and the fire. instead, he's looking out across the town which is why he'll raise his hand and wave when he spots Mathis,]
Hey.
Hey.
...hello.
[he takes a seat next to him, exhaling a slow breath.]
I'm sorry to have put that on you, but with Robin... I didn't want to cause any confusion.

Hey. Talked to Caelus last night, and I'm pretty sure he used his power on Kanda during the trial.

So he's all right? It was only Caelus framing him?

[then again. 'you always are,' the thought share helpfully supplies.]
Um, Lavi-?
[whenever this happens it is definitely before kanda comes back mcfucked up but otherwise it's whenever!! he's gonna come find him.]
I wanted to ask you... did you receive anything unusual?

Hey, Mathis.
[they can be at the lake..... thinks about how someone is gonna be murdered here. a little question mark bobs over his head]
You mean like scrap of paper unusual? Or tongue in a box unusual?

Hey. Did you find anything?

[well, where he's devoid of emotion, mathis is-- very obviously crushed. he's still glittery, he's clearly been sobbing, and he hasn't yet managed to go clean up from either of these things; his voice is still choked when he speaks.]
N-nothing that-- that I...
Um, there was blood in... in the cemetery. Paper. That's... that's all...

[infirmary cabin probably!! ashlyn brought him here after he just. shut the fuck down earlier.
he's still quiet, still sitting motionless with his thoughts little more than a low background murmur, but. mathis is at least not so dead to the world as he was earlier.]

he waves Mathis over to a stall that has books, very convenient for this memshare.]
