Ah, well.

[He considers the question. Also difficult to answer. Why are such simple things so difficult to answer lately? Are you okay? Are you dead? Are you resurrected?]

I'm alive now. Here. So I suppose in a sense.

[fergalicious]

[ Dying and living again is never that simple in her experience, so she doesn't object to his answer.

She draws closer to him and smiles up at him. ]

I am happy that you are here, in whatever sense it is.

[ It is genuine because she does like him, and it is easy to see how much death is going to creep up on all of them for however long they'll be here. ]

[headmt]

[That's very sweet, and he reaches to push some of her hair out of her face, fond.]

Much harder to come up with a good lie when your head lays it out all out to bear like that.

[fergalicious]

[ She smiles at the touch. ]

I don't think it's wrong of you to feel like you have to, but why do you feel like you have to lie?

[ There's no judgment in her tone, only curiosity. ]

[headmt]

Not a very flattering picture, is it?

Everyone here for their own little reasons. Some are big, some encompass the whole damn world. I'm just a person who fumbled his own swords and selfishly wants another day. Another year.

[. . .]

And it got Beauregard killed too, in the end.

[fergalicious]

If you keep blaming yourself like that, you're going to end up killing yourself, you know. At least in here.

[ She taps his chest. ]

Is it so wrong to want to live?

[headmt]

[He just looks down at where he was tapped on the chest. A memory of a glaive. but it's not there now, is it?]

No. [. . . Putting his hand over hers as she taps him?] You do have a way with words. Certainly good at making me feel better.

[fergalicious]

[ She doesn't move her hand away. Her smile is small but sweet. ]

Well, that was my goal, so if I haven't lost my touch, I think it's fine.

No one wants to relive their death.
