[faithkept]

[NOT LIKE THIS.

Gazes at him.]

The day after I arrived, I—

[LEAVES LAVI ON THE ALTAR AGAIN.]

[bookpapers]

[NOOOOOOO]

I take it back!!!!

[faithkept]

[





Reappears a minute or two later with a Jamba Juice drink in hand.]

Do you believe me now?

[bookpapers]

You were gone for so long!!!

[LOOKS AT HIS JAMBA JUICE]

I thought you really left me!!!

[faithkept]

Oh, dear... Was it really that long? I'm sorry, time passes so strangely here...

[Tries to offer his Jamba Juice.

Lavi won't be able to touch it.]

[bookpapers]

[GRABS IT ANYWAY!!!!!!!!

jk his fingers go through the ghost jamba... he gets a squinty eyed look at this like he's doubting Lucas's trustworthy WORD AGAIN.....]

You were gone for hours.

[DON'T JUST LIE]

[faithkept]

[HELP YOU'RE KILLING ME. Lucas just blinks at him with his big ol eyes...]

Oh my! [Oh my...] And you waited for me all this time? However will I repay you? Oh, I do feel so terribly awful that you waited here for so long when you could have been visiting others... I won't hold you up any longer, my dear.

[bookpapers]

[NOOO NOT HIS BIG OL EYES]

I lied... I'm sorry....

[faithkept]

Oh, dear... I see...

[THE BIG OL EYES... THAT SEE HIS BIG OL LIES...]

But in that case, you wouldn't mind accompanying me for a bit longer, then?

[bookpapers]

[he's sowwy.......

and then he immediately perks up]

'Course not! But I'll let you go when you wanna. I know a whole bunch of people who are lining up to talk to you again.

[faithkept]

You think very highly of my popularity, dear.

[He says this with some amusement though, reaching out to pat his lil noggin when he perks up.]

I don't mind spending my time here, with you. I'll be able to say hello to the others at leisure.

[bookpapers]

[HIS LIL NOGGIN? HE'S TALLER THAN YOU LUCAS!!! but he lets this happen, even though he's sad that it's not really happening because Lucas is Casper the ghost,]

I know that Yuffie and Mathis and Laudna and Anis wanna see you! See? Mister Popular.

[HE'S ALSO SURE THERE ARE A TON OF OTHER PEOPLE LIKE THE JJKS AND GALE...]

[faithkept]

[Reaching UP to pat his lil noggin then LISTEN. Like 11 of the 15 living jinglejesters do indeed come find him and he'll probably be like "Lavi said I was popular" to one of them.]

Oh, my... Quite a few people, indeed! Well, I've already spoken with Mathis, at least, and I'm certain I'll speak to the rest soon enough. [LAUDNA ESCAPES HIM.] But for now, are you alright with my attention being yours?

[bookpapers]

[LAUDNA NO!!!

Also Lucas… romantique]

I’m more than alright! I missed you a lot, Luca, and I’m happy to get to talk to you.

[faithkept]

[LAUDNAAAAAAA SIZ ESCAPED MY LITTLE DEMON PAWS!!!!! But also Lavi is so cute and funny. Lucas is honestly feeling so many ways about seeing the living, but this makes him happy in a very simple and straightforward way.]

I missed you, as well. After leaving on such a poor note, I'm glad that we'll be able to have at least one more conversation between us before I have to go, again.

[bookpapers]

[LUCAS.... HE MAKES ME SO SAD!!!! BE HAPPY LUCAS!!! LUCAS BE HAPPY!!!!!!]

One more conversation... for now! We'll have more after this is all over.

[DON'T JINX US INTO BAD END LAVI he hehehes, expression softening,]

...How're things with you and Aerith?

[faithkept]

[HELP THIS IS SO FUNNY. He's fine it's fine don't worry about it.]

I'd like that. [CURSE THEM TO BAD END!!!! YEAH!!!! Kill Lucas specifically. I CRAVE DUPERHELL. Lucas's expression softens a little at that, though.]

...She's been very kind. [TOO FUCKING KIND.] I... still don't know how to repay her, or those I took her from, but... being able to spend time with her here and getting to know her better has been a blessing.

[bookpapers]

[I DONT BELIEVE YOU

that does sound like aerith.... and lucas's response sounds like him too,]

I figured she wouldn't leave you alone.

[THE CHURCH BOND AND ALSO AERITH BEING SO INCREDIBLY STUBBORN this is why lavi threatened to sic aerith on lucas all those weeks ago when he was sick and shivering from swamp leeches,]

M'glad I was right.

[faithkept]

[WHAT THE HELL but also yeah Aerith is so incredibly stubborn she really aggressively friendshipped her way into his life and would not leave, even after he stabbed her to death with a crucifix.]

She really is quite a hard one to shake... Well. I've already given her more than enough trouble, so I didn't wish to put up all too much of a fight.

[bookpapers]

[he covers his mouth to politely hide his laugh.... even though he just goes HEEEHEEHEE anyway]

Good! Give in to friendship!

[faithkept]

[tags you while you suffer through trial]

That sounds a bit sadistic, somehow...

[bookpapers]

[stumbles out of the trial cave, having never seen a ray of sunshine since eons ago,

lavi THROWS his arms around Lucas, AIR HUGGING HIM despite his jamba juice]

Did I scare you? Do you want me to comfort ya?

[faithkept]

[YOU'RE TRULY LIVING THROUGH IT ALL. The gesture makes him startle a little in how sudden it is but it's fine, he and his jamba juice survive.]

Yes, you've scared me so terribly... I'm afraid I'll have to accept the comfort you can offer, even as a ghost.

[bookpapers]

[NOT LAVI SCARING HIM AGAIN]

I'll offer you all the comfort in my still beating heart! Hugs you, hugs you, hugs you!

[HE SAID IT OUT LOUD]

[faithkept]

[He's not scared he's just a lil shit. THIS IS SO FUNNY THOUGH.]

Oh! I do feel better already... You're very good at comforting, Lavi. Thank you for being so kind as to share your hugs.
