[He looks... uh. He looks fucked up, but he seems happy? And also very drunk. Going to try and pick her up actually, nevermind the fear that his arm might fall off or something!]
... [ she had heard about fin, so this isn't a complete surprised, but she immediately feels LOTS OF THINGS. ] Ack! L- Levi. Don't do that, you're still not completely better! [ flails a bit, but tries to keep it to a minimal, since she doesn't want to hurt him. NO PICKING HER UP THOUGH. ]
[ she's missing her tail and looks like shit, but she's at least trying to smile, so there's that??? ]
And you didn't deserve this either! None of us did, but that fucken game-! [ hisses. ] But I'm better off than you, so... how's about letting me... [ tugs him toward a wall with a bee clock on it. she hits the button to reveal this. ] Forget horses. How about bees~
[ it takes her a minute but she eventually answers her door, giving hiryuu a small smile. ] Hey there. I'm here... obviously. c'Mon in. [ steps aside and waves her in. ]
[ shrugs. ] I'm alright. And, yeah, it's kind of been nonstop lately, but... what can you do. [ she's going to head back over to her bed and take a seat. ] How about you, have how you been?
I'd say it's almost been a year since I've truly been "okay," and things lately have been rather distressing--but in spite of having lost Prim and King lately I'm probably still in a better place than I was after Shuten and Raijuu and Yasuragi left.
[ She locked herself away for multiple days after all that in a depression fugue.... she remembers it quite clearly. ]
I know everyone deals with things differently, but I just wanted to say--as someone who's been in your position before--it's okay if you're not okay.
Heh, I... I know what you mean. I'm as okay as I'm ever probably going to be. [ she just sort of shrugs... helplessly. ] I'm trying not to let it weigh me down as much as it could, because I know that we have the visitation room, but it... it still sucks to be separated from the people you love.
[ cracks a small smile that lasts about half a second. ] I appreciate that Hiryuu, but... I'm going to be strong, for myself and for everybody else who needs a shoulder to cry on.
That's very noble of you. And if that's what helps you to deal with things better for yourself, then I can't fault you. But... in my experience, I've found that sometimes being willing mutually rely on each other, instead of trying to be strong for everyone--sometimes that yields better results. You know?
[ shrugs. ] Hurricane doesn’t seem all that interested in talking at the moment. I thought we could maybe, like, have a chat about HSS moving toward. I actually wanted to hit you up about the same, since we’re the three oldest now, y’know?
