[ i will continue to be paranoid until we reach a verdict tomorrow, tbh. ]

...

You okay?

[ all things considered. ]

[applebough]

A little under the weather, but I'm fine.

[ Yuri pats on the spot on the ground next to her. Come sit with her. ]

I hope I can see them tonight...

[roseoftexas]

Under the weather?

[ he looks like he's about to do the hand to the forehead thing, but he stops himself because RUST. ONCE AGAIN. but he will sit down next to her, giving her a slow glance and then looking up at the sky. ]

It did say it happens on Fridays. We didn't get a chance to check it out last week.

[ diluc.... ]

[applebough]

[ keep getting affection cockblocked by rust... ]

Mm. I've never had a chance to see them, so I'm a little excited.

[ Sure. Excited. ]

... That [ Yuri mimics the hand motion ] is quite a habit of yours, huh?

[roseoftexas]

[ tch. ]

There's normally too much light pollution in New Sieg to see this kind of thing when there's a meteor shower, so I only ever saw them before I ended up living there.

[ it's been a while. ]

Hm, well-- that was meant to be me checking your temperature. Wouldn't do any good if I hit an old injury in the process.

[applebough]

My temperature? I'm not sick.

[ Yuri giggles a little. Anyway, she's wearing gloves and her default clothes, so she hugs his arm. ]

[roseoftexas]

You said you felt under the weather.

[ well. he's

not stopping her. her arms are covered, so are his so-- he'll lean in to her. there's still parts of his body rusting, and he's aware of her touching any of it, or vice versa but. rust can't affection block on this friday. ]

[applebough]

[ Yuri quietly sighs and rests her head against his arm. ]

... I can't wait for this week's effect to be over.

[ She laughs a little. ]

But at least you don't have the mustache anymore.

[roseoftexas]

[ me everytime the under the weather question is dodged, haki: ]

... I can't believe my facial hair wasn't a hit. If I figure out who cursed me, I'll have to let them know.

[ hehe. ]

Yeah. Ignoring the obvious, it's been-- difficult. Remembering all the places people have hurt themselves. [ they have all been so injured what the heck. ]

[applebough]

[ :3c ]

If there was someone with no trace of rust, I would be surprised. Everyone... gets hurt sooner or later.

[ Even their normies got rust. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ cease. ]

Yeah, things haven't been very kind over the past few weeks.

[applebough]

But we're...

[ Her voice trails off. ]

... Never mind.

[ Because only some of them are alive. Not everyone is. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ well, she's not wrong. they are alive right now, even if others aren't. he gets the sentiment, despite that. ]

...

[ after a moment, he nudges her with his elbow. it's clothed. ]

Look.

[ shooting stars. ]

[applebough]

[ Yuri looks over at Shu and then tilts her head up to see the shooting stars. There's really a difference of seeing them through a screen and seeing them yourself, even if they feel so equally distant. The hug on his arm is a little looser than before, but she still has it in her clutches. Hers now. ]

It's... so pretty.

[roseoftexas]

[ yuri has acquired one arm. shu doesn't seem interested in claiming it back, so that's a win for her. ]

Mm. Different seeing it in knowing we're in space, but-- [ nice to actually see them without the light pollution of a big city too. ] Still pretty.

[applebough]

It's... really the atmosphere that makes it.

[ She figures this is the actual difference between seeing it on a video and seeing it "in person". ]

But why is that? Are you thinking that a shooting star might crash into us?

[roseoftexas]

[ tag this in the middle of our execution suffering. ]

... [ pff. ] That'd be a pretty crappy end to our stargazing. But nah. It's all closer. When you see them on planet, you know they're so far away you almost can't comprehend it.

It doesn't feel like that when you're literally in space too.

[applebough]

Does it? It feels the same to me.

[ ... ]

... I suppose that's because I wouldn't expect there to be a park in space either.

[roseoftexas]

... It's all kinda weird, let's be honest.

[ they're in a park in space on a murdership watching shooting stars. it's up there on his list of things that he didn't expect to be doing, ever. ]

[applebough]

It's only weird if you actually think about it.

[ Yuri smiles. Shooting star date. She's here to soak up as much affection as she can, even if she's feeling weird at the moment. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ oh right whY THE WEIRD FEELING HELP. ]

Is that your suggestion to just stop thinking, then?

[applebough]

I think it's okay to stop thinking sometimes, but you still need to think when it counts.

[ Like the trial. ]

[roseoftexas]

Let's call it giving my brain a rest, then.

[ you are ignoring me. i see. ]

[applebough]

[ Hehe. hehehehehehe. EVERYTHING IS FINE ]

It's good to have breaks, but humor me for a moment, Shu. Would you make a wish on a shooting star?

[roseoftexas]

[ MEAN. ]

... Right, that's a thing isn't it. Maybe? I've not really had a lot to wish for. What about you? Do you want to?
