It would not be an advantage, but at least we could steel ourselves. Even if they didn't know what the result would be, a warning would have been nice.
[ she'd rather have the dread that comes with approximate knowledge than be blindsided. ]
[He sure would have approached so many things different this week if he had the knowledge that the cultists were already starting some shit at the beginning, so he can't help but agree.]
Perhaps we can talk to them about it... It may have been that it was simply too dangerous to alert us to the possibility of anything coming, especially when even they didn't know what that something was, but even so...
They've been around and talking to us enough. Even if they can't tell us at large.... to someone disseminate the information... is that too much to ask?
Even if we have to puzzle out the meaning ourselves...
[ it is too much of a what if and there's no guarantee if that happened, that they would figure it out, but an attempt would be nice. ]
[An attempt would be nice. Anything would have been preferable in his opinion to learning of this exactly as it was unfolding, and then a little after the fact.]
...Maybe it can be taken into consideration, should something unexpected happen again.
[Or rather, when it does, since he's sure it will in the same way he's sure they'll summon a fckin monster again.]
I believe there is a higher chance that it will happen again more than I believe it won't. War did not instill any confidence for anything better today.
[ she'll just say it aloud. it's better to acknowledge it than to beat around this bush. ]
[She is so graceful with her wording and also valid. His expression is understanding, and he nods.]
I'm certain you'll have other opportunities to speak to them. [At least one of them surely the other three won't just DIE.] ...So please, take the time that you need.
[They are of similar mindsets, except he's also the sort who goes around fussing over everyone on top of it. Being able to spend time with someone in relative silence just processing many big emotions together is as fine to him as anything.]
Of course it's acceptable. I doubt I'd ever mind your presence.
[ if he wants to talk about anything, she will be fine with it. if he will stay and process emotions with her in silence, she is also fine with that. ]
[ you could do the reverse, but i doubt you'd be so kind on me even if it'd be more fun for you. i love you, mr. sunday.
thanks for vibing, lucas. ]
Even if that may be true, I should be grateful for what I have. It's not as if it will be something I'm always guaranteed.
[ they are now at the point that anyone can die at any time now because the cult will make someone's monster go out of control. she doesn't know there's a schedule yet. ]
Our situation is somber, morose, like a dirge, but I don't want to let it direct me. I won't let it keep me down because that would be too close to letting it win.
[ it's depressing, but she will rally against it as best as she can. how much she succeeds.... well, tune back in later. ]

...May I ask what's on your mind?
no subject
... That we would be better without any of these rituals. Even if that is our current reality.
no subject
I agree. ...Having advanced warning about this likely wouldn't have given us a greater advantage in the end, but I do wish that we had at least that.

[One that's almost sure to come to pass, which he loves for all of them! Yippee!]
...But other changes could come, even so. [Worse ones, maybe.] For those, the additional warning wouldn't be terrible.
no subject
{ she will be honest that she's not doing so well without saying it in so many words. ]

I'm certain you'll have other opportunities to speak to them. [At least one of them surely the other three won't just DIE.] ...So please, take the time that you need.

Time stops for no one, but I suppose I have to stop sometimes. Even so...
[ their time limit is still counting down. ]
no subject
A single evening won't do more harm than what we've already endured.
no subject
[ she doesn't disagree with what he's saying, but she is still saying. ]
no subject
[A SINGLE EVENING THOUGH!!!! And then execution was horrible and they learned they'll have to do it all over again.]
...Is there anything that I can do to help, in the meantime? Or would you like time by yourself to think?
no subject
[ she is that mixture of social but not exactly an extrovert, but it's nice to just have some company after having to witness such loss. ]
no subject
I wouldn't mind it, if you'd find it acceptable.
no subject
[ if he wants to talk about anything, she will be fine with it. if he will stay and process emotions with her in silence, she is also fine with that. ]
Thank you.
no subject
He's not overly-chatty when he's with company that isn't, though; he seems content just to sit, though he'll engage in conversation as it may come.
A little curiously:]
What are you thanking me for?
no subject
she offers him a small smile. ]
For you words and for your company. For the kindness and care you demonstrate.
no subject
Anyway wow she is so sweet and nice... A very good girl. Suspicious..... thats me aki lucas is just vibing, offering a bit of a thin smile.]
You don't need to thank me for the company... And I'd like to think it's the least I can do, offering even this much.
no subject

That's a very generous way of looking at even a situation like this.
[But he doesn't say it in a way that implies he disagrees.]
no subject
