[ even as he's resting his head against saber's ]

I really did. I don't know how I achieved redemption. I think I've only gotten more greedy and selfish over time.

Gabriel is probably too nice to admit I got worse.

... I think wanting more for yourself is not a bad thing.

You deserve to take care of yourself, Yves. You are going to run yourself ragged.

[ . . . ?

now he's surprised. weren't they just teasing about how greedy he is... ]

... I keep being told this but...

Well, I'm trying to get better. I just... want to make sure people do know that there's someone who cares for them.

You have made that very clear. You were kind of annoying about it, at times, if I'm honest.

[ before they... got used to being around him... ]

[ laughs!! ]

Thank you for your honesty. [ he accepts it so easily ] I wish you'd said so earlier, if it bothered you.

I can imagine it can be overwhelming for people. Even so... I'd rather be safe than sorry about it, since some people are so bad at hearing it.

[ to be fair they also thought elysia was annoying. so there's that. ]

Especially with this group...

[ IMAGINE THINKING ELYSIA IS ANNOYING

SABER

I UNDERSTAND YVES BUT I DRAW THE LINE AT THE PERFECT WOMAN ]

Right?

[ just

wow.......... ]

[ elysia struggled so hard at befriending saber it was so funny ]

It was getting kind of ridiculous.

[ yves didn't even realize they weren't friends for so long he's so stupid he just kept going... this is how he was with adolphe.... ]

I do like to think a lot of people have gotten better by now... Or I hope so anyway...
