[sigh]

I have no idea. It's not like I'm actually any good at this relationship crap.

Re: day 360

[crimeson]

I'm not either. But... I'd like to try?

An' if you hate me when you know more about me... at least I won't be hiding.

Re: day 360

[avestan]

[opens his mouth to point out that he already hates everyone

but decides that if lance is going to try maybe he should as well

so he just nods]

Re: day 360

[crimeson]

...More than you already do, I mean. I try not to count that.

Re: day 360

[avestan]

Well, I'm not gonna hate you any more. If that helps at all. And whatever it is that you've done, I've probably seen worse.

Re: day 360

[crimeson]

Yeah, honestly... You'll probably get mad such a big deal has been made of it, if anything.

Re: day 360

[avestan]

I'll do my best not to get mad, as proof of how sensitive I am.

Re: day 360

[crimeson]

'Ppreciated.

...I can't leave this tower, but do we wanna move somewhere a little less...

[gestures. at. crepe shop.]

Re: day 360

[avestan]

...I haven't eaten my crepes yet.

But sure.

Re: day 360

[crimeson]

I mean. Eat first. Crepes are very important.

Re: day 360

[avestan]

True.

[time to stuff this crepe into his face]

Re: day 360

[crimeson]

[ALSO INHALES CREPES t. trying not to procrastinate.]

Re: day 360

[avestan]

[ONCE CREPES ARE DONE]

...Okay. Is there anywhere more private in here?

Re: day 360

[crimeson]

There's... a park? Or the museum. No one's gonna be in there.

Re: day 360

[avestan]

Museum works.

[time to go!

...hesitantly holding out a hand for lance]

Re: day 360

[crimeson]

['x'!!!!

takes his hand.]

This way, then.

Re: day 360

[avestan]

[off we go to the museum! to completely ignore the actual museum and just find a bench or something]

Re: day 360

[crimeson]

[let's ignore all the swanky hell exhibits yeeaaaah. bench get!]

...So I don't know how much I've told you about being a Jaeger? Er, mercenary.

Re: day 360

[avestan]

I think you might have mentioned it? But nothing more than that.

Re: day 360

[crimeson]

That sounds about right. So... basically I'm a fancy-ass Jaeger heir. I was raised to become the next leader of one of the two biggest corps out there. The name they gave me here? It's makin' fun of me. The War God was my old man.

Re: day 360

[avestan]

Huh. Okay.

[nodding nodding go on]

Re: day 360

[crimeson]

I killed my first man at age nine. I stopped counting pretty quick. It was normal for me. Killing people was just my job, just part of life.

That went on... until I was 21? When I got my first love killed. At that point there wasn't anyone who was against the idea of me leading the Red Constellation. All the holdouts had been convinced with that last battle. One casualty when we were ridiculously outnumbered, and then it was even just some civilian? That hardly matters to a Jaeger. But the way I'd pulled it off was leading the enemy corps into a village where we frequently restocked. I was really close to the barkeep's son. And when I found out who it was who had died...

Well. I ran.

Re: day 360

[avestan]

["that's it?" he wants to say but doesn't]

Mm. What then?

Re: day 360

[crimeson]

Then I had... a lot of career changes. Border guard, cop, teacher...

Like that's basically it. That's my deep dark secret baggage.

Re: day 360

[avestan]

...Well. I'd be lying if I said I get it. But I do get that it left some pretty deep wounds on you.
