[Oh good, he likes the idea. Sorey sits up a little straighter, the horn in his hands on his lap.] I'll do some research. I'm sure we can come up with something fitting together.

[airily]

... Thank you, Sorey. [ And he means it, too, in the most genuine way he can muster, his throat tight and his eyes closing. He breathes out before he turns back to look over, a little more relaxed. ] I appreciate it.

[monolike]

I'm happy. I'm happy you could talk to Eizen, and Mikleo, and me. [Sorey packs up the box again, careful and tight, to hide how choked up he's getting. Tis the season or whatever] I'm happy you don't have to suffer alone anymore.

[airily]

I'm trying. [ It comes out gruffly, even as he looks away. His arms cross over his chest, almost like a defence, a barrier from the emotions. ] It's not good, I get it. Holding it all inside... It just makes me sick. [ Like he'll get sucked into Malevolence the second he's too far from Sorey. ]

[monolike]

[That IS a worry, Sorey will gladly admit it.] Yeah...I'm still learning that too. I think maybe that might be one of life's eternal lessons.

[airily]

I think... You gotta have a purpose. [ He tightens, tense, thoughtful. ] Mine was the kids, and Theodora, then it was the Exorcists, then Eizen, then Maotelus. Something to keep you going, even when it all goes to shit.

[monolike]

Mm. [Pulls the box into his lap.] That's true for seraphim and humans, too. For everyone.

[airily]

That's something for me to work on. [ Now that Rose is gone and there's another Shepherd. It's not the same, but... Hey, it's something. ]

[monolike]

It must be hard, [Sorey muses, gazing up at Zaveid.] Humans...we have it easy. Our purposes only have to last about eighty years.

[airily]

You'd think, huh. [ He tilts his head, thoughtful. ] Maybe it's harder for humans. All the stuff you gotta deal with and such a short amount of time... How do you even deal with it all?

[monolike]

I never really thought about it...but maybe that's why humans become so passionate over a cause? Not that seraphim aren't. [Folds arms and frowns] Maybe single-minded is a better phrase to use.

[airily]

You've got so much to do and no time to do it. [ It makes him laugh, snorting. ] Maybe that's why I'm so lazy.

[monolike]

Free-spirited. Lazy makes it sound like you don't do anything.

[airily]

I guess I do stuff sometimes... [ And he's so tempted to do something irritating to prove his point... Noogies are cool, right... ]

[monolike]

Yeah occasional- hey! [ugh his face is in ur armpit] Ugh, stop! Mikleo just did my hair this morning! [Squirms out and tries to fix it. He usually doesn't care but Mikleo was so meticulous when he cut it and Sorey could at least do him the courtesy of keeping it...neat-ish...for the 24 hours after.]

[airily]

[ It's a good armpit, stfu. ] Then you can tell him it was my fault. [ He really doubts that Mikleo's gonna get too mad at him, considering, and it ends up with him just one-arming Sorey into a hug. ]

[monolike]

You haven't properly seen Mikleo on the warpath if you're willing to take the blame, [Sorey points out, but at the same time...maybe Zaveid has. Hell, Zaveid's known Mikleo longer than Sorey has, at this point, which is very bizarre to think about.

Goes still in the hug, just leaning against Zaveid instead as he stares down at the box.] ...can I ask you something?

[airily]

I'm sure I can handle it. [ Probably. Possibly. He's not entirely sure, but -- he's never seen Mikleo really mad. Just 'kinda' mad, which was scary enough.

He pauses, though, leaning back to look down at Sorey. ] Sure.

[monolike]

[Sorey doesn't look up to meet his gaze, fingers brushing softly over the box contemplatively as he chooses his words carefully.] If you could forget what happened to her...would you?

[airily]

No. [ Zaveid closes his eyes, tilting his head back. ] I loved her. She knew me at my best and my worst, and she loved me, and she let me have kids and a whole life. I wouldn't forget any of that for anything.

[monolike]

Ah- no, I don't mean her. [Fiddles with the box some more, tracing the outline of the lid.] I mean, if you could forget that moment...when you lost her. Would you do that...?

[airily]

Oh. [ He breathes out, but then -- ] Nah. It was important. Too important.

[monolike]

Hmm. [Sorey takes a moment to contemplate that before looking back up at Zaveid, patting the top of the box gently.] I'll see what I can do with these. I'll treat them with care and respect, I promise.

[airily]

[ Zaveid breathes out - it's not that he thought that Sorey would do anything bad, but it's a relief to share the burden. ]

I know you will. Thank you.
