"My name is Hien, and I'll help you get warm."

[ He's not going to use his cloak to help with that because he doesn't want to suck child Lucien in and cause some possible irreversible void trauma, so he takes that off and then his hoodie sweater to put the latter over Lucien's head and to pull it down. There. Was he lying down? He steadied him up. Sorry for the abrupt positioning. ]

[selfconcept]

"Humans got more potent stuff for cheap and 'legally', so I doubt it. It's all about them moolah, or something."

[ Money... it's always money..................... ]

[lucentia]

[not the void trauma. lucien is too sick/startled to do anything but let hien position him.]

... Thank you.

[although there's still an uncertain look on his face like he doesn't understand why hien is helping him.]

[selfconcept]

"The river--"

[ .....................

He quietly breathes in... and then out... ]

"You go to the river to get healed... and then it takes your health... what the ever loving fuck."

[selfconcept]

"No. I was born like this."

[ ok ]

[selfconcept]

ok

[voring]

[IT'S ALWAYS MONEY... He just hums and takes another sip.]

You sound ancient when you talk like that, you know?

[selfconcept]

that was exactly why
children should be seen
but not heard
or some bullshit like that
anyway im glad that i didnt turn out like them

[transmit]

You are such a brat…

Stop getting into so much trouble.

[selfconcept]

??????
youre the one who said youre throwing me into the cage
make up your mind

[selfconcept]

"... Coffee, actually."

[ He looks at Dahut for a bit. ]

"Do you make coffee for your boss? Does he have a sense of taste?"

[ just fuckin insults scien "moldy bread eater" brofiise's tastebuds ]

[selfconcept]

do you think i'm too nice

[transmit]

That's exactly why you're going in
I'm lamenting your fate

[selfconcept]

ok
bye

[handfast]

thats stupid
sorry for your crappy parents
and yeah youre way better than them

[transmit]

[ WHY ARE YOU SO SASSY

okay

bye… ]

[selfconcept]

what the fuck
thats not even a pizza at that point
but ok see you there

[ Pizza place... pizza place... Hien trudges on over. His sense of taste is still gone, bro. His week long depression. ]

"Obikawa?"

[ Peeks inside. ]

[isdf]

I think you're quite agreeable. I don't know what would constitute too much, though.

[selfconcept]

[ fabulous hairflip gesture without the hair ]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien tries to take a peek at Tobari's shard. ]

"What's she like?"

[selfconcept]

[ Hope he enjoys the lingering body heat in that hoodie sweater. ]

"Let's get you a warmer place too. The weather and snow would kill you before anyone else would get to."

[ So Hien picks Lucien up by the sides and holds him close to his chest. Up you go. ]

[selfconcept]

"Yeah? I'm a fucking fossil."

[ Obikawa is not the first person to tell Hien that.............. ]

"And I'm not gonna get any younger. How old are you, anyway."

[lucentia]

Wha—!?

[startled... he freezes up with the wide-eyed look of someone not used to being held this way.]

[selfconcept]

all i can do now is just occasionally think back on it
and realize
wow
it was some shitty parenting
id like to think that im pretty different than before
i craved validation and wanted to be helpful in any way

[selfconcept]

too much would be detrimental to myself
do i seem that way
