[a scoff]

... Well, you weren't the worst thing in this place, at least.

[fluffier]

Ooh? [ She's grinning and nudging his ribs. ] How tender!!

[enfangs]

Shut up, it is not.

[fluffier]

Uh huh! I'm gonna miss ya too, punk.

[ she shifts a little, settling on her side. ]

What're ya lookin' forward to the most when ya get back?

[enfangs]

[...

he looks up at ceiling.]

Dunno.

[fluffier]

...? Ya can't think of anything?

[enfangs]

Not really. What about you?

[fluffier]

Tons of stuff! I can't wait to see my friends again, eat the food, sail through the sky... I miss my foxflame too!

[ it feels kind of weird to be enthusiastic when white can't think of anything... ]

By the way, White, what's yer wish?

[enfangs]

[... well, even if she feels weird about it, he's happy for her.]

You're asking that now?

[fluffier]

[ stop i'm so sad ]

Yeah! I didn't think you'd tell me before, so I'm takin' advantage of yer vulnerability.

[enfangs]

... When you put it like that, I kind of don't want to tell you...

[fluffier]

It's a joke! C'mon.

[enfangs]

[...

he's quiet for a bit, staring up at the ceiling again, before—]

To live.

[fluffier]

[ . . .

What. ]

... Were ya dead before ya came here?

[enfangs]

Yup.

[popping that p, as if this is a very casual thing to admit to.]

[fluffier]

[ ........

Gently punches his chest. ]

[enfangs]

[hey!! he's burned there!!!]

Ow! What the fuck?

[fluffier]

All this time people were killin' others for their wish! Aren't ya mad?! That shoulda been you!

[enfangs]

Why would I be mad? What other people did had nothing to do with me?

[fluffier]

Because... People killed for such stupid reasons. [ gay drama ] When you actually had something worth fightin' for.

[enfangs]

[he shrugs.]

Everyone has their reasons for what they do.

[and unless he had to, he wasn't going to do anything to make lessa regret saving his life—or to betray the trust that mineo had placed him in early on, even if mineo arguably wasn't quite as faithful about returning that favour.]

[fluffier]

[ She doesn't look remotely appeased, but she seems to understand that this particular outrage doesn't make sense. ]

We're gonna get our wishes. [ Said with 100% conviction despite having 0% certainty. ] Ya better enjoy yer new life.

[enfangs]

[a scoff]

You don't need to tell me that.

[... maybe she does, because white doesn't actually know how happy he'll be even if he does live, but she doesn't need to know that.]

[fluffier]

[ Thankfully, Yuel is clued in. ]

Then tell me how you'll do it.

[enfangs]

I don't know, okay!? There's still a lot of shit that needs to be dealt with before anyone can think about their future or whatever!

[his world is such a fucking mess?]
