[ another post trial! vax is out here on the roof like always, sitting with a cup of hot chocolate in his hands - he's sitting on the railing, wings half open behind him, quiet.
he glances back when he hears footsteps, though, and offers itsuki a soft, tired smile. ]
...Hey, Fluffy. A little too on the nose, earlier, huh?

...Yeah. I thought... that I was prepared for that possibility. I told myself that it could be anyone.
...But I guess I wasn't prepared at all.
no subject
... think it's hard to really be prepared. [ quietly, agreeing: ] I wasn't really, either.
[ knowing meteion was refracting is something he never could've been ready for, either. ] ... who's got your pin?
no subject
...I left it back with them. Still got my old one though.
[he holds up another one, the one he'd been wearing when he first met Vax.]
Buzen gave me the other one. Amber. They need it more than I do.

[ he huffs a little, turning his head back to look out at the sky ahead. ]
...Reminded me of a couple weeks ago. [ vax probably doesn't have to specify he means with percy. ] Thank fuck Yasu wasn't refracting.
no subject
...Yeah. And that the votes didn't land on him. ...Or Shuu-kun.
no subject
That was never gonna happen. Those two, climbing all over each other to try and land on the knife for each other.
[ that
reminded him of a couple weeks ago, too. ]

I've learned that it's pretty normal behavior for people who've been through everything together.
[people, plural, meaning more than one pair,]

... For the record, I'm already dead. Wouldn't have been that big of a loss.

There's a flicker of surprise in his eyes at that, before he looks sad, then in a light voice.]
I'm gonna pretend you didn't say that, so that I don't embarrass myself trying to punch you.
no subject
... Yeah. [ please. ] ...'s true, though.
I promised him I wouldn't, so I didn't. We got lucky. And thankfully, Cash and Yasu didn't have to worry about it, either.
no subject
...They're really shaken up about it. I think... they'd appreciate you talking to them tomorrow.
[since vax would understand them, maybe he'd be the only person who could -- him and percy.]
