[envy is at the house, on the living room couch! there's a ghostly white raven perched on his shoulder, and an equally ghostly cat curled up next to him, but he picks it up to make room for sheila. it meows in protest, a faint and echoing little sound.]
On all levels except emotional, I am totally fine?
[when she sits down, snowball comes over to investigate. hello. please pet her. she feels a little like cotton; there's barely any weight or solidness to her, but she can still be touched.]
...yeah. When even he's having trouble with it, then it's-- a lot.
[he fidgets with his sleeve, there, not looking at her.]
I, um. When I got separated from the others-- I don't know what they dealt with, but it was all... all of you guys getting what you wanted. Leaving me behind. Killing me before you left, saying it-- it all never really meant anything in the first place, that I was just there for you to get your desires and go. And I'd come back, and it'd happen all over again with someone else.
I hope this doesn't need to be said, but... That wasn't a reflection of real life, you know? We may be assholes, and we do a lot of things we shouldn't be proud of, but we wouldn't ditch you like that.

Hello, Snowball. Hello, Banquo.
[So cute... Anyway, she sits down and looks at him over.]
How are you feeling, anyway> You scared the crap out of us the other day.

[She will, in fact, pet her! And try her best not to jab her because, whoa, this is a weird sensation.]
Do you want to talk about it?
no subject
[a slight pause.]
I don't want to, um, just-- drop all my emotional baggage at your feet again. Not if you don't want to deal with it all the time.
no subject
[She very, very, very gently nudges them with her elbow.]
Besides, I'm not "dealing" with anything. We're having a conversation.
no subject
[they take that nudge, and exhale a little sigh.]
It's just-- it was pretty rough. I still, um, feel a little off-center thinking about it.
no subject
[... Not bringing up that Envy literally took a bullet for Pride because that seems, hm, like an unfortunate thing to bring up unprompted.]

[...he wraps his arms around himself a little, though.]
But you are going to end up leaving me.
no subject
[She scoots a little closer, careful not to spook the cat and bird.]
I don't know about everyone else, but if there's a way to stay in touch when this is over... I want to find it.
