[he runs a hand through his visibly loose hair, no hairpin in sight. but his answering smile is just as soft, and tired.]

...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.

[daggering]

[ sir your pin. ]

... 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?

[nightchild]

[STOP IT'S FINE]

...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.

[daggering]

After today? Yeah.

[ 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.

[nightchild]

[...he rubs his forehead a little as he leans on the railing,]

...Yeah. And that the votes didn't land on him. ...Or Shuu-kun.

[daggering]

[ that gets a little huff of a laugh, but it's very fond. ]

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. ]

[nightchild]

[Itsuki will give Vax a look, though there's nothing exasperated in it. it might be the tiniest bit sad, but it's mostly fond.]

I've learned that it's pretty normal behavior for people who've been through everything together.

[people, plural, meaning more than one pair,]

[daggering]

[




looks away ]

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

[nightchild]

[you know who else looks away like that vax.... the panda after itsuki asked him about the tramp stamp....

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.

[daggering]

[ he - laughs? he laughs. it's a little snort. itsuki please. ]

... 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.

[nightchild]

[look he knows he's a twink? everyone had an ic discussion about it?]

...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.]
