[She takes a seat next to him, leaning into the touch.]
I'm sorry you have to go through this too. I know people say experiences are meant to show our resolve... But I wish it didn't have to be these kinds of things.
[ She's a living being named "Firefly", a name she took for herself, because her own creators never bothered with it. Just a series of letters and numbers- a weapon to be used until it was spent.
Certainly, she deserved more than being a weapon.
But somebody choosing her feels... strange. She doesn't know what to make of it, not letting herself dwell on the statement. ]
Why even do this experiment to begin with...? Why give us a choice if it was going to be like this?

That'll be our destination then.

How are you feeling after today?
no subject
... I think that's the question I have for you more than anyone.
I know you were close. I'm... really sorry we couldn't get closure for you.
no subject
It's good we were able to solve one.
no subject
... yeah, I mean... yes, I'm glad we solved one.
But... I think it's still okay to feel your emotions and just... be frustrated with it all. It'd make sense.
no subject
She doesn't want to give up, she wants to keep on living- she wants everybody in Heaven to have that choice.]
It's... It's so awful. That we're doing this to each other, that we aren't even in our right minds when we do it. It's cruel.
no subject
... yeah. [ softly, sadly ] You're right.
[ but he does let his fingers run through her hair, trying to soothe her in small ways ]
None of this is easy, and I'm sorry that you have to carry so much pain.
no subject
I'm sorry you have to go through this too. I know people say experiences are meant to show our resolve... But I wish it didn't have to be these kinds of things.
no subject
[ lightly, even as he'll encourage her closer to lean against him ]
But I'd still choose to be here, as long as it meant that I didn't have to leave you alone with the weight you carry.
no subject
[Yves's side is a comforting place to be.]
I know I've said it before, but you're a very kind person. Still... I wish you wouldn't have to choose.
[She wishes better for him.]
no subject
[ but he'll keep her tucked against his side for now, letting his fingers run through her hair as he lets his head rest against hers ]
Mm... I think you're a person worth choosing. And a person who also deserves more than what she's gotten with... any of this.
no subject

no subject
I'm not sure. I'm afraid I've always been really bad at understanding gods.
But... at least we can be here together.
no subject
A small noise of agreement.]
We have each other. That... Has to help, at least a little bit.
no subject
I think so.
[ and he'll shift, going to open up the wine bottle now ]
And we do have wine, just to take some of the sting off.
no subject
That helps a little bit too.

My friends and I would always end tough days with a drink... It's a habit for me, I guess.

That might've been my fault, though.
