And they saw things happen to all three of us. I heard from everyone who went and got a more clear idea of what happened. It's...kind of weird to think they were able to disappear and go somewhere that was a place familiar to some of us.
[ he shakes his head. ]
It's just...drama, I guess. People being upset at people and hurting each other's feelings and not bothering to fix it or even care about clearing the air before someone died Thursday night. I'm going to try to find Kazuki later today to fix things. Setsu and I are still connected by this whole thing that's been affecting everybody and it's both kind of nice since we're already teammates and always around each other and also a little overwhelming because I'm not used to having someone that close all the time. And then Alex asked me last night if I was mad at her and I didn't exactly want to tell her the truth so it's been...a long weekend.
[hoo boy okay that's a lot of feelings for shenhe but she genuinely likes jonas so she... she wants to help. somehow.]
I understand about the space. [she likes alex, but she's been ignoring her red string as best she can sometimes because she cannot be around people All The Time] ... Are all of you working to fix things? Or is it just you?
[ its fine he like. seems embarrassed almost immediately that he's said anything and sort of pauses to think about this. ]
It's...complicated. I don't even know what needs to be fixed. Alex is staying out of it because the stuff with Kazuki and Setsu isn't her problem. Setsu is probably not aware of why Kazuki's actually mad, and neither am I but that's why I want to talk to him.
...however, I am up here trying to get my shit together before I go and do that.
I'm not understanding why Setsu and Kazuki can't just speak to each other to figure out the problem. This should not be your responsibility. Alex is correct. [huff.] You can stay here as long as you want.
Alex is the one who asked me about stuff after already talking to both of them, so... [ a sigh. but he will take his placating pats. ] Thanks.
...sometimes people can't really say things themselves because it's hard for them to express them. I don't know what, exactly, is going on, but I'm not trying to solve the problems between Setsu and Kazuki. I need to fix whatever's going on with Kazuki and me before that.
I don't think destroying each other is the idea he was thinking about. [ gently pointing this out. ] But you got to explain to him what you meant, at least...?
...things are always tense around Thursdays. People react differently, so...as long as your team knows you're probably okay. You apologized to Nahri, too?
I'm glad it worked out. [ he seems to genuinely mean that, even if he doesn't quite answer about the other part. ] Being able to talk stuff out with your team is probably going to be really important in this game. Especially the more we get into it.
You helped. That's more than I expect from most people most of the time.
[ ...like yes the actual cigarettes will be helpful when he's on a roof chainsmoking later, but he mostly means she bothered thinking about him at all which is nice and reminds him that not everything is as bad as it could be. ]
If you would like to escape from the rest of the people here, I can show you the quiet places. [sometimes that's the best thing anybody can do for her, so...]
Alright. [it isn't emotionshare, but she can kind of just... sense that, because boy does she feel it sometimes. gently, she reaches out and touches his arm.]
Then let's go for a walk, Jonas. [she's going to teach you how to meditate, bud]

Hm. [...] Well. I'm told that physically fighting your teammates is not a good way to solve problems, so don't do that.

Shenhe, is that a thing that happened.

... No. [don't lie]

Wolfwood and I didn't punch each other Thursday night. We were about to, but we didn't actually.
no subject
Okay. Well, that's a good start. Can I ask why you were so close to punching each other?
no subject
It makes me feel better to destroy things, and he has told me that it helps him, too, even if it's temporary. So. I meant to help.
