[Looks at Lavi like he's weird for this even though he's the one who was acting weird
It feels fine it's a normal hand]
Yeah. After the first round, they made us choose who to save and who to fight. You were both unconscious somewhere. [I think they were unconscious I'm too lazy to double-check] Laudna and the hot woman were there. Pink Braid [That's Aerith] and the dog, too. And a bunch of other people.
[No idea who they were, though.]
...They were using something to control the ones we fought. A few of them tried to fight it off.
[But. Well. He's sure he doesn't need to explain how effective they were at it.]
[Doesn't react to the pinch at all because he's looking at Yuffie]
No. It was four on four.
[Maybe I shouldn't tell her.
...
Well. If he doesn't, then Daan probably will.]
The first round was Pink Braid, and three others. No idea who they were. [...] The second was the dog, Laudna, and two other girls. [No clue who they were, either.] We never saw you two in person.
[He's not crazy about the non-reaction to this pinch? And he's not crazy about these descriptions either? Kanda hardly talks on a good day, so he can't ever be called descriptive, but --
All those people should have been someone important to the group. So how does it make sense that Yuu can only remember people from the town?]
His gaze lingers on Lavi for a minute before it flicks over to Yuffie, and... Mr. "doesn't sugarcoat things" is truly the worst person for this, but here we are.]
We did.
The first time, anyway. Not sure about the second.
[STOP LOOKING AT HIM. he just keeps holding Kanda's hand, but for once his thoughts aren't broadcasted... instead a little bubble with ellipses hovers over his head,]
[Normally this would be asking a lot of his memory for random strangers, but since he fought all of these people, it's not as hard as it would be.]
The first time... [Apart from Aerith] it was two women and a guy. Those two were far away, so I didn't get a good look at them, but one was blonde and the other had dark hair. The guy had short hair and weird markings on his face and his body... and a tail. Kind of like the hot woman's, but thinner. He fought me most of the time.
The second time... [He already mentioned Laudna and Pickles, so] there was some woman with a... pig thing? [What the fuck was that.] She had short, light hair. And then some other girl who fought me. She had dark hair.
[As for their other questions...
...]
You're the ones who said it wasn't real. [That's. His attempt at reassurance. It's the best he's got. If they really want the details, he'll tell them, but he'll give them one last chance to draw their own conclusions.]
[luckily this is thought share week and not emotion share week so Lavi can't swamp this conversation with an insane amount of dank vibes as Kanda describes these people that he apparently can't recognize -- or remember.
[Don't worry about those guys it's not important totally
His gaze flicks to Lavi again, but only for a second, and he doesn't question the silence.
...Well, he's not sure about after the fight, but:]
I had--an egg. [There's a little animal crossing ? over his head there] But I'm not sure what it was for. I just held it and then we were on the way back here.
[at Yuffie's touch, he smiles briefly -- as if to show he's okay, or maybe it's just his way of trying to seem like he's fine even though what he really wants to do is probably something a stupid teenager boy would do,]
That gets Lavi to look at Kanda, and he looks incredibly ANNOYED, but he turns his gaze away, anger already slipping away because it really is like Kanda to keep key details to himself if he doesn't think they're USEFUL,]
Lavi looks back at Yuffie and shakes his head a little, and then he moves to break apart from their huddle, creating a little distance between him and Kanda.]

So it was like a hostage situation?
[I can't imagine them following rules in the first place, this group especially.]

.... So it was like Sundays, almost.
[ without the... monstering out. presumably. not that she'd know ]
That's messed up.
[ tenses up at the mention (kind of) of aerith..... Is she okay? If she got hurt again, I.... ]
no subject
Who did you guys fight?
[anyway, lavi pinches Kanda's hand next, sowwy]
no subject
No. It was four on four.

no subject
[ complicated feelings about this... ]
[ but then her thoughts clam up. she is staring kanda down... or up. she's short. don't hold out on her now! ]
Who won?

[Both your thoughts are so loud damn

We did.
The first time, anyway. Not sure about the second.
no subject
[ yuffie's thoughts are still shuttered, and she takes a little breath, but otherwise doesn't seem to have a reaction. ]
What happened to Aerith?
no subject
Did you die the second time?
[is that why he isn't sure?]

no subject
[ but he's right. she takes a breath. it's only been four people, so aerith couldn't have been there ]
Yeah, yeah... you're right. I mean, I'm right. It wasn't real. It was one of those stupid.... trial things. Memory trial things.
Was there more that happened? Or just... fighting?

[I guess that's what brought me back.]
no subject
[ they are probably all huddled anyway but she's shifting closer to lavi to wrap her arm around his. ]
[ she has more questions, but: ]
What are you feeling now? You keep looking at your hand.
no subject
You can't feel it, can you?
[he remembers PINCHING HIM]
no subject
I could earlier. It'll pass.
[Like last time, when it felt like I was drowning sometimes.]
no subject
[ hilariously yuffie almost drowned once so there's a little mental jolt and YIKES that gets across ]
Is it just your hand?
no subject
That gets Lavi to look at Kanda, and he looks incredibly ANNOYED, but he turns his gaze away, anger already slipping away because it really is like Kanda to keep key details to himself if he doesn't think they're USEFUL,]
So that's why you were having trouble breathing.
no subject
It'd be great to answer Yuffie's question, but he pauses and frowns at Lavi before he yanks his hand back.
Who's the weird guy...
Anyway. To Yuffie:]
No. It changes.
no subject
[ Oh shit. she gives lavi an alarmed look like is it getting worse?? ]
Umm.. gimme some examples! Yeah, examples.
no subject
Lavi looks back at Yuffie and shakes his head a little, and then he moves to break apart from their huddle, creating a little distance between him and Kanda.]
I'll get you some water.
[heads off... weird guy out]
no subject
Kanda watches him go like ?? okay sure bye Yuffie's weird friend]
It's all over. Don't fuss. [As long as I'm not really disappearing...]
no subject
You're not. If you're worried about that, just... grab my hand or poke me or something. I'll make sure for you.
[ I'm not fussing, shut up! ]
no subject
Lavi comes back with a glass of water, which he holds out for Kanda,]
Here. You've been talking for a while.
