[at the mention of drowning, lucien does wince a little, with an accompanying mental flash of water.

anyhow, he moves to get up.]

Honestly, I can't disagree with that...

[aerodynamic]

What kind of a detour made you lose your whole boat?

[lucentia]

We left an island, later came across another boat with Tokinaga, a woman I didn't recognize, and an ill Rafayel, and decided to accompany them back to the island to try and cure Rafayel. Things... spiraled from there.

[voring]

[Not the water... He just STANDS THERE USELESSLY instead of offering to help Lucien up god why is he like this. WHY IS HE HERE.]

Can you make it back to your room or are you going to crash over?

[transmit]

[ His cockroach painting, Badtz-Maru, and succulent… yay ]

And what the river doesn't heal?

[lucentia]

[he would've been surprised if obikawa had offered to help tbh]

I'll be fine.

[lucentia]

[should you be asking about this, sir who was forced to confess his innermost thoughts today...]

... You needn't worry about that either. If anything, I am more concerned for Hien and Sylus.

[and the other cyoa goers, but that goes without saying.]

[transmit]

[ stop. there was so much chaos surely no one remembers ]

You aren't trying to turn this into a contest of who's gone through more, are you? I'm talking to you. Not them.

… But I will check up on them later.

[lucentia]

[if lucien wasn't a shadow at the time, he'd remember.........]

That's good to hear. ... We all saw what happened with Hien, and though Sylus acts unshakeable, the things that happened on the journey hurt him quite a bit.

[transmit]

I'm not sure I'm the right person to get through to either of them, but I'll check in and see what they're up to anyway.

[ the way he just made hien feel worse. oopsie ]

Did you guys have to live through another life?

[lucentia]

[elysium no]

Something like that. I did vaguely recall Purgatory, but our memories were altered to give us context for why we were on this journey. I also received some more detailed memories of that life, though after speaking to Hien, it doesn't seem like that was the case for him.

[voring]

[DON'T JUST BE SURPRISED like fair BUT LISTEN HERE. Anyway he knows Tokinaga likes Lucien and he also likes Lucien so:]

I'll make sure you get there.

[lucentia]

Huh? You needn't trouble yourself.

[transmit]

[ HE TRIED!!!!!!!! ]

Something like that…? That sounds annoying. Sylus looked pretty worried for the both of you.

[ The cadence more or less suggests that he finds it uncharacteristic behaviour and serves as a quiet opening for Lucien to elaborate, if he wants to. ]

[lucentia]

[a little smile.]

Perhaps this is mean of me to say, but Sylus is a much kinder person than I had expected.

[*there is a bit of an overly positive interpretation of some things that happened maybe but also sylus was an mvp here]

[transmit]

No… I think that's exactly the impression he's going for. In fact, I'd suspect that he'd be happier if you stuck with your first read of him rather than the revised one.

[lucentia]

I'm afraid my revised impression is emblazed permanently in my mind.

[voring]

If it was trouble, I wouldn't bother.

[AT LEAST HE'S HONEST.]

[lucentia]

[To be honest, I'm surprised you left Tokinaga's side...]

... Do as you please, I suppose.

[voring]

Other people want to talk to him, too.

[He will give Tokinaga space and touch grass briefly before he goes back to pestering his ASS!!!!]

[artificialsweetener]

[He's just sitting here like WE REALLY GOT THIS HOSPITAL ONLY FOR YOU FUCKS TO BE INJURED SO BAD THAT PEOPLE JUST KEPT SHOVELING YOU ALL INTO THE RIVER!!!]

I've heard the effects from that can be pretty unpleasant, so be careful, okay?

[lucentia]

Indeed, I'd hoped never to need it myself. I'll stay alert.

[lucentia]

Surprisingly considerate of you.

[as he makes his way back to his room...]

[voring]

[Just slowly ambling along with him, making sure he does not keel over again. SIR.]

He'd just kick me out even if I wanted to stick around.

[Especially for sweet Fia. He's attached but not so badly that he can't just fuck off and do other things for a while as long as Tokinaga's stupid ass is alive about it.]

[lucentia]

[he's a little unsteady on his feet, but he's fine walking back as long as he's not hit with sudden light-headedness...]

Ah, I could see that.
