Seven blinks. A miracle then magic... suppose it really was a good idea to not question what this man was....
โ โ `` .... Alright, uhm... goodbye, Zacharias. Thank you, again. `` Very awkward, but giving him a hopeful smile.
โ โ ๐ฌ
โ โ `` โ use scp-3634? ``
โ โ [MATHEWS]
โ โ `` The use of it has been suspended, unfortunately... A basic truth serum could be used. ``
โ โ ๐ฌ
โ โ `` that would take a day or so to get made. ``
The two are chatting about how to further interrogate Seven.
โ โ Seven is praying, despite the fact he knows that god can't see nor hear him right now.
โ โ He was tired and wished to leave, away from these horrid men and their acts similar to punishments he experienced at home.
โ โ Yet he did not give in and did not tell them anything.
He looks surprised at โfriendsโ, were they friends?? Then he just stated at Zacharias upon seeing the beverage change.
โ โ He just witnessed a miracle.... what in the name of god... ๐ฆ๐ง
โ โ `` Nno I'm okay, thank you, Zacharias. `` He didn't yet feel comfortable โ
[ he chuckles, shaking his head lighty ]
"Zacharias is fine, dear, my friends dont call me so formally"
[ the god picks up his wine glass again, taking a sip of the bevarage before it turns into a water bottle ]
"are you thirsty?"
โ โ [ PA. ON โ BIRPC-Site-44 ]
โ โ `` This is Director Mathews of Armed Containment Site-YOD. If you come into contact with or see a tall woman with purple and orange hair, notify the โSDFโ immediately. Thank you. Secure, contain, protect. ``
โ โ [ PA. OFF ]
He nods in response, hugging Zacharias for a few moments more before letting go. He begrudgingly returns to his chairโ he shouldn't become so attached.
โ โ `` Thank you for... everything, mr Zacharias, I appreciate it. `` A slight smile as Seven spoke.
[ he shakes his head again ]
"no, dont be, it's not your fault. It's neither of yours fault"
"you couldnt have known and she cant help it, nobody's at fault"
A moment of thought...
So she was maybe scared of being watched? He could understand that, it was unnerving... Though it was a surprise considering his god's eye was everywhere back home.
โ โ `` I'm sorry for wearing it around her, can you tell her that? ๐ ``
"no"
[ he shakes his head ]
"not necessarily I mean.. the eyes scare her a bit. She comes from a difficult place, I adopted her half a year ago"
[ he never had his eyes around with her nearby. never. exactly for that reason ]
Meanwhile Seven was loosely holding onto him, finding comfort in the godโs warm embrace.
โ โ `` ....Does she find godโ `` He stopped himself. Right, there were more than just HIS god...โ โ `` Is she scared of uh... of my god? ``
โ โ `` Thank you. ๐ง๐โโ๏ธ ``
[ he shakes his head, loosening his grip so that the teen doesnt feel trapped. ]
"oh no, its alright, you didnt do anything. Your necklace just scared her a bit"
. . .
"speaking of which, I will get that too."
โ โ `` ....Thank you. ๐ง `` Getting praise felt strange, he wasn't used to it. If he were home right now, he'd be getting yelled at.
โ โ . . .
โ โ `` I'm sorry for scaring your daughter the other day, I don't know what I did but... I hope she's okay... ``
[ ... the tensity in his voice calms, he holds onto Seven gently still, patting their head now. ]
"thank you, dawlin, you're doing great, Im proud of you"
He slowly noddedโ how would that even be possible? Then again, how was a lot of things about this man possible?
โ โ `` Yes, sir. I was... planning on it anyway, not telling them anything... ``
โ โ โNo matter the measuresโ, so the men really were serious about โ
He was silent for a minute, confusion riddling his face whilst he looked at one of the floating eyes.
โ โ ....Maybe it was better if he didn't understand, he'd rather not know if he was seeking comfort from a demon after all.
Seven nodded,โ โ `` O...okay, Me Zacharias, โ
[ not a child that he sees as one of his own, maybe not an equal but definetly a close assosiate ]
"... I'll help you, I just need a day more, but I'll help you"
