Sure! of course. Let's head to my room. [ she reaches for his hand and leads him inside, queen weaving in and out of his legs, because gib attenshuns!!! ]
Everything okay? [ squeezes his hand and heads for her bed, taking a seat on it once they're inside. ]
[he follows her, briefly leaning down to pet queen as his entrance fee, but once he's in dva's room he takes a deep breath and lets it out all in a rush:]
...oh, so you're, like, all going home and... stuff. [ and once again she's getting left behind. ] C- Congrats...? I mean, like, you're getting out of this joint, so, uhm, yay...
If it hadn't been for the fact that the others were going... that my son was going to leave on his own... I wouldn't have accepted. They still played a dirty trick on us; Vergil was with us, and we all thought he'd receive the offer too... but in the end, they didn't extend the courtesy to him.
Of course I'm relieved to be leaving this place and being with my family. Of returning to a home where I have a future. But I hate the fact that I have to leave you behind in this place. I don't blame you if you're hurt and angry; I would be, too.
I'm not pretending. I *am* happy that you're getting out of this literal fucken hell hole, but the rest... And they didn't extend the courtesy to me either. [ she digs her nails into the edge of the bed and bites her tongue, tail snapping back and forth; anxious and aggravated. ] What does this mean for us? Are you just going to forget about me the moment you leave and live happily ever after with the rest of them?
I don't know what happens to the people that leave here! It's not like I can get in contact with any of them while I'm stuck in this stupid place... [ shuts her eyes and just smushes her hands into her face. ] but it's not that I think little of you. Are you going to remember anything? Do you get wiped clean... i- if I managed to graduate, then how the heck am I going to find you again...
I'm not going to forget you. There have been correspondence between people who have left here for other worlds; there's no reason to think anything untoward happens to them. And if there is... I won't let it happen to me. I can still fight.
I plan to go home, to the place where I was born, build a memorial to my mother, and start a new life. And I intend to receive you when you break free from this place, as well. Is that unacceptable to you?
No, it’s... it’s not... it’s like some sick joke. I don’t want to be left behind... [ tightens her grip on him. she just wants to be happy!!! ]
[ smiles, giving him a little nuzzle. ] Do you... maybe we can do something a little special here before you go? Do you know exactly when you’re leaving?
...that's, like, no time at all. [ frowns. ] But, ah, sure, we might as well make the most of the time we have together. Is there anything you would have liked to do or try while here that you never got a chance to?
Hah! like I could ever forget you, Raven. [ squeeze. ] ...you've had such a positive impact on my life and I'm just so happy and lucky to have gotten a chance to be a part of your life.
