Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

You don't have to--don't feel pressured. I mean it. Seriously. I didn't say it because I was expecting a reply. It was relevant to the topic, that's all. I know it's been...messy for you lately. The last thing I want to do is add to that.

[a slight quirk of his mouth]

Is it pressuring me if I wish to return a sincere sentiment with, at the very least, equal sincerity? That is just a given, I feel.

Though the consideration is kind. I do also ask for patience because of the...mess, as well.

[mykidisthebest]

[his expression softens]

In that case, take all the time you need. I'll still be here whenever you're ready. Even if it takes a while.

Re: probably night 62

[endsjustified]

...

Worry not.

I'm not going anywhere, either.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

[his grip tightens a fraction around Charon, reassuring himself that's true]

I wasn't worried about that. I know you want to see things through as much as I do.

[makes a quiet affirmative noise and leans his cheek on the top of Lethe's head]

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

[...yeah, okay. melts into it]

Have you been taking it easy? I'm going to feel bad if I wake up and you're more stressed out.

Re: probably night 62

It's fine. Bluebell ran a rite; I made some paper birds.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

Paper...? You know how to do origami?

Re: probably night 62

[endsjustified]

Only a few things. Mute seemed to like them, though.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

[mental image of Charon very studiously making a row of paper birds]

I'm a little sad I missed it.

Re: probably night 62

[can he just make one like, show up if this is a dream]

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

[it's a dream he can do whatever he wants man]

--! Is this what you made?

Re: probably night 62

[endsjustified]

Something like.

[summons a small cloud of them to swirl around Lethe in that case, all colours; origami cranes with feathered wings glued on]

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

[ohhhhh my goshhhhhhh; he reaches up to pluck a pink one out of the air to inspect it]

You went to all the trouble of making the feathers that detailed? I've never seen someone add feathers onto an origami before. It must have taken a while.

Re: probably night 62

[endsjustified]

It's not that difficult, if you have the knack of it. I can show you sometime.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

Fair warning, I'm not that good at arts and crafts. But it would be nice to do something that doesn't involve hunting down demons or dodging rituals.

Re: probably night 62

[endsjustified]

Hmmm.

[since they are able to make shit up in this dream he just pulls some origami sheets from thin air]

Why not do something nice now?

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

...!

[sits up]

I would like to do something nice. Please teach me.

Re: probably night 62

[endsjustified]

[passes him a couple of colored ones, keeping two plain white ones for himself]

Do you know how to fold the base crane?

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

[plucks out pink, yellow, and black as colors to start with]

I...think so?

[he makes an attempt that is very sloppy, but passable]

Re: probably night 62

[endsjustified]

[folding his own and then tipping it on its back on the other paper]

Now you decide what shape and how many layers you want the attached wings to be...

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

[mimicking his process, doing a little better with the visual example to follow]

Is it fine to make them any shape? Like fairy wings for one and feathered wings for another.

Re: probably night 62

[endsjustified]

Do whatever brings you joy, Lethe.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

[snorts and starts working]

I'm happy enough being here with you.
