[HE'S JUST SO STUPID.... just like kanda except in a different way.
he was bracing himself for something like 'if caring is scary then how are you friends with KANDA you fcking IDIOD' but he relaxes a little instead.... or maybe he should keep his guard up?]
I met him when I joined the Order a couple years back. We're both Exorcists -- soldiers for the Black Order. That's why we wear the uniforms.
[he taps the shiny cross on his chest]
And it's also why he's so grumpy all the time, so m'sorry if he was rude...
We destroy Akuma! They're killing machines powered by human souls, and they can only be hurt by Innocence -- which is a weapon only Exorcists can use.
Akuma can take on human disguises, and there's no way of spotting them until they transform. It's why Kanda's so jumpy all the time -- cause we never know if someone around us is an Akuma.
Lavi looks at her anew at that, expression both sympathetic and obviously curious. he thinks of saying 'you must fight a lot of monsters then' because what is humanity without DARKNESS and NEGATIVE EMOTIONS, though he's distracted by what she says next instead. a brief pause, as if her words sound familiar]
...no wonder she feels alone. is his first thought, sympathy filling his expression,]
...I'm sorry you got taken here.
[he knows a little about being separated from a comrade, though he'd known exactly where Allen was. it was accepting that he'd never see him again that hurt.]
I had a friend who was asleep for a long time too. But that was because of a battle. [not darkness, or something preying on his heart] I hope he wakes up when you see him again.

[ having your dirty laundry aired. ]
...Really? ...I think it's the only thing that gives me courage. Especially when I'm alone.
no subject
but alone, huh... Lavi looks away from Aqua to the plaque on the cabin wall, studying the names he's already memorized.]
Do you feel less lonely when you do?
no subject
You could say that. At least, I don't have to worry about that here.
[ SO MANY PEOPLE. ]
....You're here with a friend, right?
no subject
but if he says NO then it'll be a LIE!!!
also wait how did she know]
...Yeah. You've met Yuu?
no subject
Yes, briefly. I noticed you were wearing similar clothes. How did you two meet each other?
[ i have to try and get the dgm deets from lavi bc kanda is not talkative whatsoever... ]

Brothers in arms, is it?
[ she looks a little surprised by the apology, and smiles. ]
Oh, not at all. [ HE WAS A BIT CROTCHETY ON THE INTRO LOG BUT AQUA WASN'T REALLY PAYING ATTENTION ] He just seems... quiet.
[ ANTISOCIAL! ]
no subject
at that, he laughs]
He's not used to staying this long around strangers. We usually go in and out for missions.
[not that kanda talks to people at the Order either...]
Usually I'm the one who does the talking!
no subject
aqua smiles, not unkindly. ]
Then I'll have to be asking you most of the questions.
[ hehe ]
...What does an Exorcist do, exactly?
no subject
We destroy Akuma! They're killing machines powered by human souls, and they can only be hurt by Innocence -- which is a weapon only Exorcists can use.
Akuma can take on human disguises, and there's no way of spotting them until they transform. It's why Kanda's so jumpy all the time -- cause we never know if someone around us is an Akuma.
no subject
...That sounds a lot like my job, actually.
[ if akuma were darkness, and innocence were light... exorcists would be keyblade wielders. ]
I see. [ she gets kanda much better now... ]
...Is that why you're scared of caring for others? Because you can't be sure who or what they are?
[ closes eyes in how relevant that is to this game. ]
no subject
Lavi smiles too, though it's more muted.]
...Pretty much. Bad idea to get attached to someone who might kill me.
[laugh track...]
Do you have to be careful of that too? Or... [tell him about keyblade wielders aqua]
no subject
quietly, ] Or, someone you might have to hurt.
[ the reverse scenario is just as bad, she finds.
...she's not supposed to talk about the keyblade, but she can paint a picture in broad strokes. ]
It's not exactly the same. But I've had to fight monsters created from the darkness and negative emotions of human hearts.
[ there's a pause ]
...I've had to fight my friends as well, the times they were controlled by dark forces.

...Did you break them out of it?
no subject
she has to think on that for a moment. ]
...I'm not sure. One of them fell into a deep sleep. The other... he's gone missing.
I was separated from them even before arriving here. And I've been trying to get back to them ever since.
