…as the champion of the Raven Queen, there are some things at home that I can uniquely do. ‘s a part of my job, to guide lost souls to Shadowfell. I went to that gumball machine and thought about it, and used the whale thing.
[ vax’s wings flutter, again, rustling, as he pulls a tricolored gumball from his cloak, sporting blue, orange and green, and shows it to itsuki. ] I can’t bring the dead back. But - I can find them. More importantly, I can bring someone to talk to one of them. It’s only for a short time, and it’s only once a week, and we have to try and use it some for information, but….
…next week. I can take you to see Buzen. If that’s something you want.
[For a moment, Itsuki's expression is completely blank with shock, the gaze in his eyes wide and uncomprehending -- before it finally filters in, Vax's words, his offer. All of it reaching him, despite the distance he's felt since he woke up this morning and saw the empty futon.
he swallows the plea before it can escape his throat, his eyes brimming. Instead, he reaches for something else, voice husky]
...Thank you. I... thank you.
[for this offer, but most of all, for this kindness]
But... [he doesn't even want to say it, he wants to say yes so badly, but... his fingers clutch onto the phone in his pocket] Last night... Mete-chan said she wanted to talk to Bass -- she wanted to tell him that she was sorry. I...
[god, he wants to see Meteion too,]
...She should see him. And Bass too, he should get to hear from her.
...Metie's going to see him. [ buzen, that is. the bit about bass is harder, makes the oilslick of his wings seem to get worse, the black ink dripping slowly into the snow under their feet. ] And Bass - I think... I think their situation might end up a little different.
[ he's lost a lot, and he knows, after the past week, that bass is going to take this really hard. but, still. ] I don't know if the power'd work on the Residents, or not.
I can find out. But if it doesn't, I want you to take it. I'm taking Vin, this week.
[...he reaches for Vax's hand, and this time he doesn't try to hold back his tears.]
...Vax. [thank you] If... If the trial tomorrow is bad...
[who is he kidding, he knows it's going to be. Everyone will be in pain, but... he can't help but be afraid, there are some who might suffer the most, depending on how things shake up.]
If it's Yasu-kun or Shuu-kun, and if one of them ends up dying on Sunday... They'll need it more than I do, but if not then...

[ ...
vax is quiet for a moment, shoving his hands into his pockets. ]
... Next week - it can't be this one. But, next week. I've got a proposition for you, if you're interested.

Yeah? What is it?
