[ he catches and inspects the bottle, then glances up at scien. ]

Thank you. Will there be enough for everyone to last the week?

[ his pain tolerance is unfortunately pretty high so he'd rather save these for like. viktor!!! or rosamund fresh out of briar execution hell. or literally anyone yeah. ]

Otherwise, you can give these to someone else.

Good to know. Thanks again.

[ he'll pocket the pills! in a... greasy-rustyass pocket... ]

...A stark difference from yesterday, no?

[ rolls my eyes to the heavens

diluc looks at scien like. well. i don't think anyone really minded that you were being on the nicer side (i assume i was not here most of the week). but he doesn't say it! ]


Mhm. I can agree with that. At least we have some semblance of control over our situation here.

[ even if he didn't really mind handholding and hugging to hell and back ]

[ that's why he doesn't say it yeah 🥹

giving scien a once-over and seeing RUST everywhere, simply up the wazoo, ]


...For the best, really.

—Ah. They are more openly affectionate relative to everyone else... [ a pause, as he considers. ] Does Dahut experience the same pain that you do?

[ hasn't seen him yet so unsure the state of the dahut ]

...I'd pity you, but I think I know better by now. Is there no chance for recovery, then? Or is it that you don't wish to recover.

[ scien just like IM GONNA LIVE MY LIFE!!! IM GONNA FUCK UP MY LUNGS!!! ]

...I'm glad Dahut is spared, at least.

You were going to dismantle the machine, were you not?

...So it wasn't exactly by choice? [ forced to revise his assumptions again, but this is par for the course for any conversation with scien. still, he doesn't offer pity because he thinks it would just get thrown back at him. ]

And, I didn't think you were interested. [ he'd just meant, glad dahut was spared from the pain in general. if there's anything he knows about scien, it's that he cares deeply for dahut. ]

Always the first sacrifice, is it...

[ he'll sit down across from scien, whom i assume has been seated. ]

...I'm sorry. That doesn't sound pleasant.

[ he huffs quietly ]

Think of it as a colloquialism, then.

[ since this will just keep happening every time they speak... ]

[ oh is he about to!!! ]

You've made it quite clear. Then to be frank, I don't care about your ego, either. You refuse to change, and so do I.

I think it's unfortunate you suffer such pain, and so I offer condolences. I am grateful for your actions, regardless of your intention, and so I express my thanks.

Whether you accept my words or not is of no consequence to me. And neither are you beholden to them.
