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.

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.

[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.

[... 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.

[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.
