[ see, now he's regretting not being in the pod longer. except not entirely, because he'd still be in there now if he had stayed in the recommended amount of time.
so, maybe it's not so bad. a little is better than nothing. ]
...
Good.
[ it would have been bad if she'd gone "actually, I didn't like that at all". he'll shift and let himself lean forwards to rest his forehead on her shoulder. comfortable. ]
[ Imagine being told that and destroyed on the spot...
Their hands still intertwined, Yuri nuzzles a little against the side of his head since it's resting on her shoulder now. ]
The reason why it felt the worst to see you, thinking you were dead... I didn't want you to go. Not yet. I didn't get to say anything yet. I... wanted a little more—more time with you. Even if the dead aren't really dead anymore, that would have hurt... a lot.
Mm, that-- wasn't intentional. Sorry. I didn't mean to give you a scare.
[ he sighs. ]
You showed up a couple of times in that place. At the end, they were specifically using people who would hurt us to try and slow us down, stop us fighting back. [ she'd been something like a corpse there, reanimated and acting like a puppet. it'd been unnerving. ]
I think making a promise nothing is going to happen would be naive in a place like this. But I don't plan on dying here. Not for real.
[ That's definitely a sentiment that they both share. They don't want to die, but if something happens, them's the breaks. ]
Making a promise over something you can't control... is not a promise anyone should be making. And I trust you, that you want to live. You have a lot to live for.

... [ some people might be making that kind of promise anyway, but-- ] Feels too much like a lie to be telling you everything's going to be okay.
But you too. You've got to decide where you want to go after all this.
no subject
Do you... want me...?
[ --to go with him, is what she means. It probably sounds like something else, but it's fine. ]
no subject
The love hotel was a few weeks ago now.
[ he is. mostly teasing. he does squeeze her hands so she can’t embarrassed dart away. ]
no subject
I... um...
[ It's all she manages to squeak out because her mind feels jumbled. ]
no subject
I'm teasing.
Do I want you to...?
no subject
... Do you want me to go with you...?
no subject
Do you want to? I think that's the most important thing. Figuring out what you want to do for yourself.

[ it's pretty simple, even if it's hard to do. but, just look at what happened mere moments ago. ]
That's why I'm saying to be sure about it. Think about what you want. And then, ask.
no subject
[ She feels herself getting mentally smaller and smaller like her voice. ]
... I think that's enough break time now. You should return to the pod.
no subject
but he will gently butt his forehead against hers. hmm. ]
Alright. I can probably get another hour in.
no subject
... Good. I'll set it to an hour after you get inside.
