@CinderedClaws [A nod.]
Yeah...
[He smirks a bit, before he quickly leans in and slaps a kiss right next to Corian's mouth. Not on the lips - he's not gonna give the boy such a treat - juuuuust super close. He then bounces back and snickers.]
You'll be meeting the real me next time.
@CinderedClaws I'll blame myself either way... Heh. Be glad you don't know how my brain really works.
[He gives a little smile as their foreheads bumps into one another.]
I'll find ways to still make my way into your life... You're not getting rid of me this easily.
[A wink.]
After all,
>>
@CinderedClaws Remember that you have others here...
[Ruffles his hair gently.]
Don't be afraid to go to them for comfort, yeah? I wish I could've been here to help you now but... Well. I'm causing this right now so it's difficult.
@CinderedClaws ...Because leaving those you care about is hard. It's always hard, no matter how many times I've had to do it...
[He swallows, and takes another deep breath.]
That's why I prefer to... simply fade away, instead of facing it like this.
@DemonOfAsh Yeaah, I kinda uh. Learned that losing lotsa blood doesn't make me super quick.
[A snicker.]
Yeah, of course. I would ask your name, but... I suppose it's better to keep it a secret.
@CinderedClaws Don't be...
[He sniffles a bit himself.]
I mean... I have a lot I need to tell you too, when I'm ready... it won't change anything but...
@CinderedClaws Thank you for being so honest right now...
[He lets out a shaky chuckle, before his smile falls apart, too.]
...You've made it so hard for me to leave for so long...
@CinderedClaws ...
[He hugs back, taking a deep breath.]
You too... Please don't get yourself killed. Don't do anything that'll ruin you... You're worth so much to..s...someone...
[His voice becomes a mumble.]
...s-someone does uh... care...l...like a whole...b...bunch and uh...a lot...
@CinderedClaws If only you listened to me...
[A bittersweet smile. No, he won't bring it up now.]
...Well, you did last time. You're an ashen wolf, yeah? And we look out for one another. Like how you've been looking out for me, too.
@DemonOfAsh [Chuckles.]
No shit. I don't think I would've been here.... no, not just me. The Ashen Wolves wouldn't have been here without him. Even if I always state otherwise.
And likewise. Thank you for your trust too. Take good care of him, yeah? He's a good soul.
@DemonOfAsh Yuri's my fake name, and I just tell those close to me what my real name is, so...
[He leans in more and whispers it.]
...I would tell him at some point anyway.
[A wink.]
