Afterparty II: Two Hearts, One Valve

[purefuries]

[ There's some joke about pizza to be made after all of that, but the bakery is broken, so we'll make do. The gathering seems to be happening outside this time, just around the entrance to the lodgings building, someone having left small notes and quick knocks and promptly disappearing, all saying something about getting fresh air.

Presented on a collection of tables is tea, fish stir-fry courtesy of Edelgard, chazuke from Tenn, and some sweet tarts from Junko. There also seems to be seeds in a bowl...? (Nageki is trying) Some chairs have been dragged out if you'd rather not stand around.

It's nice and breezy out tonight, though. Look up at the moon, and try not to feel too alone. ]

[ Raven really left Tenn on read, because he literally read him so hard just now--

jokes aside, Tenn looks at Raven seriously for a moment, taking in what he says. He looks away afterwards and doesn't say anything. There's pain in his eyes, but he simply nods and makes an agreeable noise. ]

He was my brother.

[ ...as if Raven probably didn't already figure that out, but. You know. ]

I know I won't get over it, and I don't think I ever will. But...I have to keep going, for his sake. If I don't hold it together...

[ He trails off, after that. ]

[reallyfishy]

[He's got a bit of a knack for this.

Having Tenn confirm his suspicions, though... Yeah. That's something you never truly get over.]

I wouldn't expect ya to, not when it's yer brother. But try ta reach out ta others to help keep ya goin', okay? It's not a bad thing ta lean on others.

[Heh. If only he'd ever follow his own advice.]

[ At that, yeah. Tenn gives him a little smile. He knows it'll be hard, given everything, but he'll do his best to lean on the other people here. ]

Thank you. I appreciate it. I'll do my best to trust in other people here.

[ Oh, Tenn...if only you knew. ]
