[He's sitting outside of the mouth of the cave! Just kind of zoning out and staring absently in the direction of the water... Though he'll snap back to attention when he so much as notices another person approach, probably before Saber even speaks. They'll get a nod, though!]

Hello, dear. Are you doing alright?

[rippled]

Well, I am doing as well anyone can be.

[ two people this time. ]

... do you mind if I sit?

[faithkept]

[Two people this time! He will shake his head and gesture.]

Not at all. Please, have a seat.

[rippled]

[ they will sit down, allowing for their to be a respectable amount of space between them. ]

Have you eaten?

[faithkept]

[There's a little flicker of a smile.]

Do you happen to have a snack on hand?

[rippled]

[ they reach into their pocket and pulls out a croissant.

hands it over. ]

[faithkept]

[NOT THE RAWDOGGED POCKET CROISSANT.

He will... gently reach out and take it...]

Thank you very much. I think you and Yves both need food containers.

[rippled]

Oh... I guess that would be useful...

[ like they haven't thought of that. ]

[faithkept]

I did manage to find something decent for Yves, though he may need another... I'll give you the other that came with it, if you'd like.

[Just aimless fussing in even these smallest of ways.]

[rippled]

It's fine. You can give it to him.

[ fuss for yourself!!! ]

[faithkept]

[NO!]

Are you certain?

[He will also split this croissant in half and hand half back over. Sharing is caring.]

[rippled]

You did just say he needed another one.

[ saber will be naughty and put things in pockets or sleeves.

... they'll take the half. ]

[faithkept]

I suppose I did, didn't I...

[He could get another, but he will let Saber have naughty breadsleeves for a while instead. After they take half:]

I've always found that food tastes better when shared.

[rippled]

... I think so, too. You can eat as many delicious meals as you want, but the memory of that only lives in you. Isn't it better to have someone at your side?

[ they take a small bite. ]

how da hell

[faithkept]

I would agree, at least... So thank you for doing me the kindness. I appreciate it very much.

[Taking a small bite to match.]

[rippled]

... this is really the least I can offer.

[ it's such a small gesture compared to what happened. ]

[faithkept]

To see someone reach out at all is a touching thing.

[HE'S FROM ARPECHELE.]

[rippled]

I'm sure others are. The people here are rather nice.

[ SOMEHOW.... ]

[faithkept]

They are. [SOMEHOW!!!!] It's a kindness that shows even more in times like this.

[rippled]

I can say the same about you.

[faithkept]

[Weh...]

...Thank you for thinking so. If I can provide even a fraction of the kindness I've been shown, I'd be glad for it.

[rippled]

I feel like we can go in a circle about this.

[ YOU'RE nice no YOU'RE nice ]

[faithkept]

It would be better than some of the circles I've been going in lately.

[THE CIRCLES OF DESPAIR.]

But I don't mind taking a break from the verbal meandering to enjoy your company in a bit of silence, either.

[rippled]

... I do not mind that as well.

[ they can quietly sit and contemplate kindness and also murder. i guess. the circle of mg life. ]
