[ well. it doesn't sound that bad to fei du, and the thoughts that follow give him a little further context, too. it's not that he has siblings, or any family at all, so that level of protectiveness is beyond him. but.
he thinks it over for a moment, settling his long limbs down in a more comfortable sitting position on the floor. ]
... I don't think it's entirely fair of Wolfwood to separate Livio from the consequences of his actions. No crime only has one victim, and there have been plenty of instances over the past eight weeks where others have been angry. I also dissociate out of my mind every now and then, and I've never killed anyone over it.
[ you're not special razlo
anyway ]
Apologizing will keep the peace, inevitably. It might be easier to talk to Vash about it, if you get to see him soon.
[yeah that's mostly how she feels about it - she'll apologize because wolfwood asked her to, but it's to keep the peace, and she doesn't really care how livio feels about it because she doesn't know him well enough to have an opinion.
fei du validates her a little though, and she gets less grouchy about it. she squirms on the bed so she can roll over to be closer to him, dragging yiguo with her.]
... Thank you. I hope that I do. [she says, easily enough.] I am fine, now. Did you enjoy your reunion? Do not think too hard about it, please.
[ yiguo mrrrps, because he has been Affronted TM, making a complaining noise and swatting a little at fei du, not shenhe.
fei du himself doesn't bother with it, just bopping him on the nose and letting her scoot closer. the comment about the reunion - well. he smiles, a bit, and for the first time all weekend, there's warmth to it. now that shenhe's close, she might notice that the makeup he'd been wearing the day before, and some this morning, is finally cleaned off. the dark circles under his eyes are still there, and he still looks exhausted, but he's doing better. ]
It's a little bittersweet. [ Because the future is still uncertain. ] ...But, yes. I did.
[ thankfully, his thoughts are quiet and muted, tucked into a box far away beyond that, save for one.
[oh, the smile actually makes her feel a lot, lot better. he can probably see her ease up and relax when he says that. she's also tired, and she probably has circles to match, but it's okay.]
Good.
[I have never been so worried. I felt sick with it.]
[ was so busy shitposting that I almost missed this cute tag
the thought that echoes between them makes fei du look a little surprised. touched, and he opens his mouth to say something, and then stops himself, and just thinks it.
[she says firmly. that is non-negotiable. and maybe she doesn't think in clear, definable thoughts, but there is a fierce insistence behind her words when she says this. she did have to worry, because she cares, and because he was in pain, and she wanted to help him.
like she told nahri, weeks ago. she wants to be a person who helps, and doesn't hurt, as much as she can.]
[ fei du knows he was a wreck, friday and saturday. saturday maybe especially, between the watch and the shakedown with valerie. it's a little embarrassing to look back on now, to have had such a violent display of Emotions, for someone who rarely feels them at all, and he has to internally shy away from it, some, has to try and protect his inner core. ]
...well. [ quieter. ] I'm sorry for worrying you, all the same.
[ but in reality, it's...
his thoughts reflect it better. just a simple thank you. ]
