Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

[Yes? No? Maybe??? He always uses the term comrade but honestly that means a lot of things. He gestures awkwardly with his hands.]

What's your definition of friends, specifically?

[monolike]

Th...that's okay. I think I get it. [Yeah he gets it.] He's that kind of friend.

[save_the_souls]

Uh...sure.

[He rubs the back of his neck awkwardly]

I trust Kanda with my life. He's helped me a lot, even when it would've been smarter not to. We just fight a lot too, we always have.

[monolike]

[Edna and Mikleo bicker a lot too, though not quite like what he'd heard Allen and Kanda doing. Maybe it's just like that, with them.] And you think he can help me? [Lailah, sure, of course, but Kanda? Being able to help him with something that Allen couldn't?]

[save_the_souls]

Help you? [Specifically?] Um...maybe if you want a tempura recipe?

[Because um yeah, he can't see Kanda openly offering to help anyone that wasn't an Exorcist]

[He shrugs] With Kanda, I meant more...if something goes wrong, like another demon attack, there's someone else who can help with that. So the pressure's off if you want to avoid getting involved in things because of the Shepherd rules or you think you're out of you league or just need some time off. The burden's not all on you, or me.

[monolike]

Ah... [Sorey scratches his cheek sheepishly, glancing back out over the forest.] Thanks, for thinking of me like that, but I think not being able to help was much worse in the end. I have Lailah here now so she'll be able to guide me and teach me what I need to know. But...I've never felt like I've been pressured to act. It's usually the opposite. [He gets yelled at a lot.]

[save_the_souls]

[Gosh, just because he told you not to pick fights one time...

But he considers that. It's a little hard for him to understand, since honestly Allen never had the problem of not getting to act. Not because people didn't tell him not to, no people told him that all the time. He just you know, didn't listen and jumped in anyway. Good times.

He gives a simple shrug]

Oh. Well, alright. You're always welcomed to help out too if you want. I mean, if something comes up.

[monolike]

[yeah don't worry lailah scolds him way more often than you ever have dude
just
y'know more nicely]

Thanks, Allen. This might be kind of hypocritical of me, but I'd really like to help out where I can, to take some of the pressure off of you. Even if you don't mind having that pressure. Or like it.

[save_the_souls]

[He shakes his head.] I don't think it's hypocritical.

I'll admit, I don't want anyone trying to save me. [He looks over at Sorey, offering a smile] But, I'd always like someone to fight alongside with.

[monolike]

[Sorey nods, and holds out his fist. Tap it, bro.] I can do that.

[save_the_souls]

Alright. You're on.

[He'll reach over and give that fist bump. Bro.

Then he'll completely ruin any semblance of cool by pulling back while wiggling his fingers in an explosion gesture, and making a "pshoow" sound. What?]

[monolike]

[this dude is a nerd so he doesn't know what 'cool' is] Wha- Haha! What was that? [Sorey mimics the sound.] Can I start doing that too?

[save_the_souls]

Ah- I think it's an explosion? Hiro and Ino said that's what you do. [And they have more social skills than Allen, so...!] But sure! Go ahead!

[monolike]

Oooh. [omg now he's going to try and come up with other stuff to do, YOU'VE SHOWN HIM A WHOLE NEW WORLD....thank u allendin]

Well, I'll leave you to your peace. I promised Mikleo I'd get in some proper exploring anyway. [Pushes himself to his feet and dusts off his clothes.] Are you all good here? [Don't need anything?]

[save_the_souls]

[Sorey you adorable dork you.

He'll smile and nod at Sorey]

Mm, I'm good. Thank you for coming by to talk to me, Sorey. Send Mikleo my regards.
