[if hak comes in, lucien is just sitting on his bed, looking a little light-headed and petting a white cat. also there is a painting of a cockroach in his room for some reason.]
hak comes in with fucking nothing because he's horrible but he does at least look appropriately somber, although that changes to confusin when he sees the cockroach (??????). ]
Hien? We were separated for a while and didn't have the time to talk afterwards, so I don't quite know. But he was in a poor state, both physically and mentally, when we regrouped.
Huh? Well, there's not much to say, to be honest. I spent a large part of the time worrying about being infected with some sort of affliction, and if it would lead me to harm the others.

And he picked a bug. [ incredible. ] You're right, there's something wrong with that guy.

I'm fine—the river healed me. [...] How are you feeling?
no subject
[ actually there have been very few days where he's felt worse but this ain't about him. ]
The river doesn't fix everything. And the stuff it takes away isn't usually what we want it to.
no subject
Indeed. I had hoped never to have to use it.

REMEMBERS WHAT HIEN DID AND WHO HE'S TALKING TO. OH GODDESS. well, if it helps hien and hak make up, maybe he shouldn't say anything...?]
I imagine I had an easier time of it.
no subject
'Easier' doesn't mean it was easy though.

As you said, these things never are, for anyone.

Though thankfully, that didn't come to pass.

An affliction?
