At the question, Lucas - well, first he places his hand over his mouth like he's about to be ill. But that fortunately doesn't happen! After a few seconds, he'll remove it, closing his eyes.]
...I... Iwatooshi was very kind, but Aerith and Cloud...
[He saw those bitches for so many hours every day.]
Lavi is so funny though help. He shakes his head a little, but that just seems to make him want to be sick again considering he winces and briefly covers his mouth for another second or two.]
...I wouldn't wish to trouble you. It should pass, soon enough.
[STOP. HE DOESN'T KNOW HE'S FCKING SUFFERING BUT HE KNOWS HE IS SUFFERING!!! that's why he will be good. he lifts up a hand and sticks out his pinky finger]
THIS IS FINE THOUGH HE GUESSES!! He'll look toward the pinky finger and i'm just making the executive decision that pinky promises exist in virche because i can't remember if they do or not. He leans forward a little, wincing a bit as he inclines his head and locks pinkies.]
You do seem the type to keep your word. [I GUESS HE'S JUST GOING TO USE LAVI'S LAP AS A PILLOW THEN. THIS CAN HAPPEN SURE.]
[HE'D ONLY DO THAT IF LUCAS LOOKED LIKE THE PICTURE OF HEALTH WHICH HE DOESN'T NOW!!!
anyway enjoy this lap. it's nothing compared to buzen gou's beautiful thighs.......... it exists............. but it's not BONY or anything, comfy and pillowy since Lavi doesn't skip leg day.]
I'm sooo trustworthy. And I can keep so many secrets.
[HELPPPPP it's fine just burn through the last of his life energy with a leech attack and set me free
He will enjoy the pillow of Lavi's no-skipped-leg-day legs, though! Having a nice place to rest his head does seem to bring him some comfort, though he closes his eyes soon after. Raises his hands, folded together as in prayer.]
Secrets just for you and God, hm... You must keep many secrets, indeed. [A beat, and then:] Will you pray with me? For them.
[STOP. YOU ARE GONNA BE IN THE GY SOONER OR LATER I PREFER LATER
does it really bring him comfort.... is he still just extremely sick (horizontal) now... but Lavi peeps down at Lucas, and then closes his own eye with his hands together in front of him.]
...Thanks for looking out for everyone, Iwa. You were always trying to protect people. Cloud... Thanks for being Kanda's friend. He liked you a lot, y'know? And Aerith... [...] I'll look after Yuffie. And... I'm glad I got to meet you too.
He may be extremely sick (horizontal) but it's better a bit than being upright perhaps maybe. Or maybe this is just better because if he needs to throw up, he can just roll slightly to the side and not have to worry about getting it on Lavi or himself.
He's just sort of quiet as Lavi prays, though, listening to the words in silence. Maybe he's praying along quietly, or maybe he's just giving Lavi's words room and space.]
...Aerith told me that in her world, everyone returns to the life stream when they die. I hope that she and Cloud can make it there.
His eyes are still closed, face turned out toward the back of the pew in front of them. It's probably nice and dark down here.]
That does sound like something she would do. [The faint smile can be heard in his voice.] ...Lavi... [A beat.] ...Is it a terrible thing for me to say that I'm glad they went together?
[...Lavi tilts his head to the side, and there's a beat of silence before he replies,]
...No.
[he can think of so many who'd prefer that,]
A lot of people say you should live on for the sake of the person you lost. ...But that doesn't make it any less painful to be alone. And death is already so lonely.
[He's quiet for longer still, just thinking about how he would feel if Nadia had ended up here, and if he had woken up one day to her body. The thought alone is almost enough to push him over the edge of sickness, and he takes in a deep, long and shaking breath.]
...It is. And in a situation like this... It feels like even more of an unkindness.
[When they're truly just waiting to be picked off - or so it feels. Three weeks and no progress.]
[Lavi notes the shaky breath with even more concern, but it's also a painful subject to be talking about -- and he remembers Lucas's memory too, he'd been so young when he'd been so afraid of losing Nadia.]
...It is pretty bad.
[OBVIOUSLY..........? a beat, then]
I'm glad I got to meet them though. It makes me sad when I think about 'em, but it makes me happy too. Sad because I'll meet anyone like 'em again. Happy because at least I met them.
[Sometimes fear of death is nothing and fear of what else you can lose to death besides your own life is everything!]
...That's a beautiful way of looking at it, I think. [Said a little quietly.] The sorrow is something that can't be denied, but it wouldn't exist at all if it weren't for the care behind it. And that care is something so precious.
[HUMAN HEARTS BAYBEE!! The love between people!! Emotions are worth dying at 23 for.]
Also this is so funny. This is the second time Lavi has given him a scarf blanket. He unfolds his hands just long enough to reach up and touch the fabric, and then gently tap Lavi's knee as if in thanks.]
It's important to remember that. That they're more than just the sorrow. [Like a reminder to himself more than Lavi.]
...I think you're being a bit too kind in your bias again, though. But I do hope that they knew they were cared for... Not just by me, but by so many of us.
it's because Lucas is so FRAGILE that Lavi feels COMPELLED to offer him a SECURITY SCARF BLANKET!!!! He looks down at Lucas when he repeats those words, as if he can sense that he's also saying that for himself...]
Look, I'm just saying that there's no way they wouldn't have noticed you caring about 'em. You're really forward about it?
HIS SECURITY BLANKET SCARF... He is grateful for it. The scarf itself and also the gesture behind it... Lavi is very soft, like his scarf.
There's a faint little laugh at that but it can probably be felt more than heard, and then there's a bit of a stretch of silence as he tries not to BARF.]
...I think that's a good way to care... You're pretty open with your fussing, too, even if it looks different from mine.
ALSO STOP HAVING SINFUL THOUGHTS IN THE HOUSE OF GOD, HE'S ALWAYS WATCHING. Lucas is not, his eyes have been closed this whole time. He gently patpats Lavi's knee again, though.]
You are. [ANSWERS ANYWAY.] ...I'm enjoying being able to spend time with you in the moment, even if it's a sad moment, and even if you say silly things.
[Because one never knows when the last moment will come, really.]
no subject
[DON'T WHY HIM? But he does settle back a little to give Lucas some space, brow furrowing.]
Is it the stress again?

Lavi opens his eye and peeks down at Lucas at that,]

Right? It's proof that they lived, that they're more than just the sorrow.
[he doesn't touch Lucas, but he does arrange his scarf so that the ends drape over his body, like the world's smallest blanket,]
They cared about us... And we cared about them. I think they're pretty lucky to have your care, 'specially.

I wish it was half as charming as yours...
[think of all the smokin' hot babes he could get...... sinful thoughts in the house of god.... but he's also joking about that.]
I'm not helping you feel better, am I... [LUCAS IS JUST SICK (HORIZONTAL)] Wait, don't answer that. You'll just tell me that I am.

Lavi lapses into silence, but it's not the Indignant kind. just the peaceful kind because Lavi does know how to be quiet, shockingly. then.]
...Are you sick because of the curse?
