[THIS IS A MONDAY THREAD WE HAVE TO LET IT GO

Especially because Kanda... doesn't know what to say to that. What can he say? He has no control over what Bookmen do. And it's not like he isn't g̵o̸i̵n̶g̵ ̶b̸a̴c̸k̵ ̸t̵o̵ ̴t̴h̶e̸ ̷O̷r̷d̶e̸r̴ too, once they're out of there.

...It's just weird, is all. Thinking about how long they've spent together here, completely cut off from everyone else they know. Thinking about how it'll feel to go back to the way things were. It wasn't unusual to go months without seeing each other before. But so much has changed, now. He can't help wondering what that will mean, if or when they get back to their own war.

It's impossible not to notice that tinge of resentment in those thoughts, as well--but he doesn't comment, and his own thoughts don't drift through the connection. What Kanda thinks about Lavi and Bookman's relationship is something Lavi will have to ask, apparently, if he wants to know.]

...You can figure it out once you find him.

[Because if nothing else, Kanda thinks Lavi will try. He's just as bound by his heart as Kanda is, even if his ties are different.]

[we do not have to do that

Lavi smiles -- he can't help it -- at Kanda's answer. Because it makes sense and it's so logical and very much like Kanda -- to put all his millions of thoughts away until it's important to take them out again,]

Will you come with me?

[Jk

But he does TCH and look away]

Do your own work. [BE NICE] I have to go back to the Order, remember? [No Kanda it is you who doesn't remember]

[HE SHOULD HAVE JUST GOT UP AND LEFT

also KANDA.... Lavi, fortunately, remembers this bit of brainwashing that's still clinging onto Kanda's mind, and he wonders for a moment if it's worth forcing Kanda to fight through it, when he's this ice cold and can still barely breathe,]

You don't have to go right away! Might as well stick around so we can get Gramps and go back together.

[that's not gonna happen but okay lavi]

We don't even know what country we're in.

[IMAGINE THE FOG DISSIPATES AND THEY ESCAPE AND THEY'RE JUST LIKE "WHERE IN THE FCK ARE WE"]

[THAT'S WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN AND THEN THEIR PLAN OF PAYING FOR THEIR MEALS WITH THEIR EXORCIST CROSS WONT DO SHIT]

It can't be that hard to figure out.
