That depends if they all agreed to share that room.

[ If she cared more about sleeping, she would have tried to declare the Peacock room for herself, but she doesn't, so she just pretends she needs to sleep every once in a while to keep her claim on the bed. ]

Do you want to ask Kaioh about it?

[soba]

I can try.

... but if they were close, I wouldn't be surprised if we have to wait before she says anything.

[sadiskick]

Why? Do you think she won't want to talk?

[soba]

... if you're close to someone and you lose them, you're going to have to ride out your emotions.

People you barely know walking up to you might not be welcomed.

[sadiskick]

[ She doesn't really understand that because even if she doesn't or wouldn't care to talk to everyone— ]

I would want to do something about it. IF someone I loved died, I would do something about it.

[soba]

You still can.

But... [ hm ] it's hard to predict how you might react right when it happens. Sometimes it's better to give them a little time to cool.

[sadiskick]

My, you're the sensitive sort, aren't you.

[ How surprising. ]

[soba]

Shut up! That's just something we should keep in mind!

[sadiskick]

[ She laughs. ]

You can keep it in mind.

[soba]

[ STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HE'S JUST :T ]

[sadiskick]

[ It's tempting to poke him with her foot, but she refrains. ]

Do you have someone like that at home?

[soba]

[ he opens his mouth to answer right away, but then closes it, frowning. ]

Not anymore. I moved.

[sadiskick]

You can't contact that person anymore?

[ Well, she doesn't know how it works for humans. ]

[soba]

Nope.

[ he shrugs ]

But that's pretty common.

[sadiskick]

[ She's used to fading out of existence or something else, so she can relate a little (maybe). It's still difficult for her to understand others, as much as it is to want to understand others. ]

Do you think about them often?

[soba]

... I'm trying not to.

[ things are easier when they're clean splits, he thinks. ]

[sadiskick]

Why? Didn't they make your life more dazzling?

[ If it's an important person, she knows she wouldn't want to forget someone who's touched her life enough that she'd accept them. ]

[soba]

[ he blinks at that. it's not a word that he would personally use, but... ]

Sometimes it's just better that way.

[sadiskick]

For you.

[ For her, the other person could forget her, and it'd be fine, but she wouldn't want to stop thinking about them. ]

You think it's better for you.

[soba]

... yeah. Better for me, I guess.

[ he knows not everyone feels the same. ]

[sadiskick]

Well, if that's what makes you stronger.

[ She shrugs. It's his life, and she doesn't care or understand enough to delve deeper than this. ]

[soba]

Yeah. I guess.

[ that's fine. ]
