[ imagine if i said he's in his room and claude got to see yuri's room.

simply because that's ooc, he's going to be outside in the hallway. ]

[shaft]

[ yuri just hustling ]

On your way to rest?

[ashenvaliant]

That was the plan. For a bit, at least.

[shaft]

Alright, I won't keep you long. Just wanted to make sure you weren't on your deathbed.

[ peers inquisitively at him ]

[ashenvaliant]

[ he drops dead instantly. ]

Luckily I'm resilient.

[shaft]

I don't doubt that.

Though I suspect you're the type to put up a brave front.

[ashenvaliant]

I'm resilient. Like I said.

It's not like I have the luxury of lying around and complaining about my wounds.

[shaft]

What else will you do?

[ashenvaliant]

Lie around and not complain about my wounds, probably.

[shaft]

You're really missing out on the joy of complaining.

[ashenvaliant]

I've done plenty of that. But complaining won't make them heal up faster.

[shaft]

Maybe not the physical wounds.

[ashenvaliant]

I did a lot of swearing on the adventure, if that counts as taking care of emotional wounds.

[shaft]

I wouldn't say so, no.

I'm just trying to say... You can unload your woes on me.

[ashenvaliant]

[ hmmm. ]

I think in terms of emotonal distress... I could've done worse. I only killed two people I consider friends, so that's practically a win.

[shaft]

[ his shoulders slump ]

Yeah, that's about how they usually go. Somehow it sucks every time.

[ashenvaliant]

I doubt they're made with joy, or happiness in mind.

[shaft]

No, just for entertainment.

[ he

squeezes yuri's shoulder ]

[ashenvaliant]

That’s the name of the game here, after all.

[ … ] It’s fine. I talked to someone I saw in there, so I know they’re okay. That helped. [ and then she murdered and he had to kill her :) ]

[shaft]

Still, it's difficult.

Makes it harder to sleep sometimes.

[ashenvaliant]

... Speaking from your own experience there?

[shaft]

Is it surprising that I might be susceptible to nightmares?

[ashenvaliant]

Not at all.

[ ... ]

Here or at the school?

[shaft]

There's not much of a difference. There's only a week separating the two for me.

[ashenvaliant]

… I didn’t go on one back at the station, by some bizarre stroke of luck. It does seem that some are… I don’t want to say worse, because everyone’s experiences are their own. But the ones back on the station seemed particularly violent.

This one was more…. I don’t know. Psychological? [ he says with multiple injuries ] I’m not sure which is easier to deal with.
