[ It is sooner than they expect, though in part maybe it's because they zoned out again. There's a misshapen wood piece next to them as if the idea was forgotten for it multiple times. It's just a weird disaster at this point. Pocketed away along with their knife tucking into their sheath. ]
We can move somewhere else. [ So Elysium doesn't feel like he has to just sit on the floor. Though they lean against the wall with support more than usual once they stand, face looking a bit flushed. ] Where to?
[ His gaze flicks to the project briefly, but he offers no comment, shifting it back to Siffrin as he laces his hands behind his head and gives a casual nod. ]
Let's go somewhere private.
[ There are too many people hanging around the manor at all hours of the day… ]
Have you ever been to the Gelato Stop? We might need to move our bodies a little to get proper service, but it's not too bad. Promise.
[ Private is fine. Siffrin doesn't feel as if they will be the best company in mind today - quiet as they always are but, too quiet. Zoning out more than usual. So that's fine. He can mold himself together enough.
(The shop... You don't remember. You may have but, who were you with again..?) ]
[ Cool!! To the Gelato Stop they go—where I've unfortunately rolled a 15, so it means they probably won't have too much trouble fighting for their treats. Even if Siffrin might not be feeling up for it, Elysium will order for them anyway and set it down in front of them.
[ Rolled a 12... it's okay, power combined, etc. Siffrin won't turn away treats. Even if they don't NEED to eat here, they still feel a hunger that doesn't seem to quench. ]
..That's good. I'm sure Isa appreciated seeing you.
[ Takes a spoonful, nom. Thinks nothing of it. Or maybe they're just continuing along. ]
..No. But I can burden some of those things just fine on my own. Our friends - they're important to him. He doesn't need to be soured by.. whatever this place did to them.
[ Staring hard at their hands now, a small tremble in their fingers as they can picture that smaller neck and - Hands close tightly. ] The rest isn't important.
[ Mumbles those words under his breath before just shaking his head. ]
I can't claim to have known him as long as you have, but it seems to me like he's more burdened by not being trusted by you. That's not important, huh?
[ There's a flinch at that. This isn't about trust. It's about protecting him. Doesn't he already have too much to worry about as is? ..If anything, Isabeau is right to not trust them.
Pushes to a stand, hands gripping at the table a bit too tightly. Quiet for almost a moment too long. ]
… No. There was a chance to, but I said it was probably better for him to hear it from you rather than me. He didn't push back on it, so I think that says more than enough.
[ He just watches Siffrin come to a stand… For now, he does nothing. but if they try to move away, he will kdrama wrist grab. ]

So. I had a nice chat with Isabeau earlier.
[ JUST STARTS OFF WITH IT. YEAH! ]

Are you ever planning on talking to him about what we went through?
no subject
I did. Somewhat. Mentioned our group from Vaugarde was there, shared the basics. But there's no point in going into some of the more specific details.

What do you think?

Then it's fine.
[ Yeah, they're just going to try and leave now. Brat... ]
no subject
[ simply.
But he will just let Siffrin go… He isn't about to force the issue. ]
no subject
It has to be. [ Stubborn as ever. A pause before.. ] I'm gonna head back to my room.
[ And shuffle off, gooby... ]
