[ he is on the railing! yeah! of course he is. he's just kind of looking out into the void, at the moment, deep in thought; but when itsuki addresses him, he turns, and immediately, his expression shifts into one of concern. ]
[ he tilts his head, looking up at the sky overhead. ]
... Death is a part of life. Whether we dread it, or run from it, it's a part of life all the same. [ is first, his voice soft. that goddess who came close to him, the goddess of the raven queen - it's her mantra, one he wears close to himself. ] Even if the threads here that are cut are cut too early, or not right, they're still...
[ ... ]
...I'm okay. [ he thinks about chinatsu's silly laughter and her big, bright smile, and he shakes his head. ] I can't say I'm not used to loss.
[Itsuki thinks back on Vax's memory, remembers that he would know the weight of that especially.
maybe that's why hearing his words calms something in him, makes it settle, even if he's not any less sad.]
I'm hanging in there. ...I'll miss them both, and I'm gonna have a bad time tomorrow while we figure things out, but... It's like you said before. Better to find out, than not.
[ if there's one thing vax has become kind of wise about, it's death. becoming a paladin does that to you.
he glances over at itsuki as he speaks, finally, just checking him over. he looks worried, the concern on his face clear and visible even just like this, though it's gentle. ]
...You've really gone through it here, huh? [ sweet itsuki :( ] 'm sorry, Fluffy. For your loss.

Itsuki will shuffle up here sooner or later, hands in his pockets.]
...Hey.
[is vax on the railing like the birb he is]
no subject
...hey, Fluffy.
[ :( ]

...He listened to me last week.
[chinatsu too, but he's thinking of Chang Geng for this, maybe because it's a friday again, and it had been chang geng who found buzen's body,]
Even though I was trying to pretend I wasn't a wreck -- he saw right through me.

he reaches over, and nudges his shoulder against itsuki's where he's leaning, mindful of any injuries. ]
...yeah. Doc was pretty perceptive, huh? Just a good fucking guy.
no subject
he'll nudge back]
...Yeah. He seemed like he'd been through a lot, but... [still so kind, Itsuki knows enough of the world to know that's a rare quality.
he's quiet for a moment,]
...You okay?
