[Lucas is over at the gazebo shortly after trial! Just taking a little time to decompress because his blood pressure really shot through the roof and almost killed his ass where he stood... He's just kind of staring absently in some direction, but his attention shifts to Saber pretty quickly when they appear and he's gesturing toward the seat beside him soon.]

Would you like to sit?
faithkept: (once i hold out the compensation)

[pats it like the horse sticker................

He just nods, though. Long day!]


Saturdays have been, but this one did feel particularly long.
faithkept: (and it grieves and fears the end)

[He's quiet for a second at that. It's not really that he's angry with anyone, but losing one student and realizing just how powerless he was in the face of potentially losing a second is not a pleasant pill to swallow.

He folds his hands together.]


It's bound to be a risk given the way we're meant to handle things.
faithkept: (why did you give us hearts)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-03-02 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
No, it doesn't.

[There is very little, he thinks, that could make any of this any easier to deal with.]

...These are very painful trials to endure, for everyone.

[Even just today, Yves' absolution gave way directly to Neverah's condemnation. He's grateful for Yves' continued survival, but he knows Neverah's affliction and soon likely death will do a lot of harm, all the same.]

It is... People are quite good at checking in with one another, even then, though. It's a heartening thing to see.
faithkept: (so brown eyes i hold you near)

[FRANCY YOUR 5 AM

His brow furrows a bit, mostly unseen behind his stupid fringe.]


Do you find it to be?
faithkept: (tipping cup inverted crown)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-03-02 10:49 am (UTC)(link)
[tucks you in very fastly

This is pretty sad to hear though... Everyone stop coming from a long life of unkindness challenge. He's quiet for a second or two, considering.]


...I'm glad that you were able to experience a bit of kindness before arriving here, but I can imagine that it must be quite an adjustment. Overwhelming, yes? Especially since so many here tend to fuss...

[Said with the full acknowledgement that he is a huge fusser himself.]
faithkept: (in water cool and cleansing)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-03-02 11:00 am (UTC)(link)
[AND THERE ARE SO MANY OF THEM WHO ARE YE OLDES... NOT THE DINOSAUR.]

I do wish that we had a kinder adjustment period. And trial period as well, in all honesty... It would take eight weeks alone just to adjust to the technology level, let alone everything else. [Another little pause.] Do you dislike it...? Or are you able to enjoy it even though it's troublesome to adjust to?
faithkept: (why did you dress our pleasure)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-03-02 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's thinking of some other people who are also only now getting to enjoy making friends ONLY FOR THEM TO ALL START DYING OFF ONE BY ONE.]

There are... I do think there's merit in valuing the good we're able to get out of this situation regardless of the bad, but the bad does weigh heavy.
faithkept: (the self is not so weightless)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-03-03 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
[IT SURE IS. HE'S TIRED EVERY DAY BUT ESPECIALLY FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.]

I'm doing as well as can be expected. [Despite the mild dissociation there toward the tail end of trial, he is still emotionally level.] There are days that are difficult, but that can be said for any one of us.
faithkept: (is proof that i am still alive)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-03-03 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
[HE CAN'T STOP MOTHER HENNING...]

I appreciate that you're checking. [Said with a note of fondness.] You're also very good at being a source of comfort, even if you aren't used to so many of us fussing in such a large group.
faithkept: (to reveal the brightest sky)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-03-03 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
Ah? [BLINKING.] It is...?
faithkept: (and the scars of my youth)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-03-03 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[HE IS AN INNOCENT MAN...]

Oh... But I was merely pointing something out after having answered your question. There wasn't much else to say about myself?
