[Rests his chin on Idia's shoulder. Deep breath in, deep breath out.]

Today was long.

[hardpity]

Yeah.

...

Can I ask you a favor. O-or I guess it's more like. Can you grant a wish for me really quick.

[righteel]

A wish? Very well... What wish do you have?

[hardpity]

Can you say something like 'hey, it's bad that you died and I feel bad about it' for me. It doesn't have to be true. You can word it however you want.

[righteel]

...it is true though... That's the problem. Most days I feel like I'm the only one that thinks dying, even in this place, is a big deal... I was starting to think maybe I missed out on a large part of bootcamp. It is bad you died. It is bad you died and I do feel bad about it.

[hardpity]

[ time to burst into tears again ]

[righteel]

[Reaches up to rub his back]

It scares me, you know.

[hardpity]

I-it's scary. I-I know I was cavalier about it earlier... b-but it was really...

[righteel]

I worry...what if one day they take away revives? It's scary. So please do your best to avoid it at all costs. I know some things are out of your control... And I am not trying to scare you more. I just do not want anything to happen to you. Afterall, we are friends, right?

[hardpity]

I think in that case... i-if they had taken away revives... I still would have died, just slower. B-but we really tried to win. Or at least not die. But everyone just hates the idea of 'Rabbit' so much, it doesn't matter who's on it or what they've done.

[righteel]

....is there anything I can do to help with Rabbit's pr? Being on Mouse has to count for something. I have behaved this long... It's only fair if I get to cash in on the fruits of that labor too.

[hardpity]

... I don't think there is. Not unless you can arrange several political marriages really fast.

[righteel]

...are any teams a hard 'no'?

[hardpity]

Well, Finch I'm pretty sure would try to kill me on sight. Possibly also Salamander.

[righteel]

I might have some ideas then. Thoughts for another day though.

[hardpity]

Make sure they know I'm emotionally distant and won't put out.

[righteel]

How traditional of you.

[hardpity]

Maybe it'll help the chances of someone agreeing.

[righteel]

It migh-....

[Was attempting to tuck his head under Idia's chin only to suddenly become very aware of his temporary height increase]

...t.

I think the little Azul-shi is more hug-sized, but we can still make this work... if I sit back a little then you can stretch out more...

[righteel]

M...mm. A bit of adjustment then...

[hardpity]

We can make it work.

[ pets his face. petpet ]

[righteel]

It might be better for me not to be that close to your throat anyways.

[hardpity]

Oh yeah, just in case you want bite...
