Heart Game (Continued)

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Hydra takes a single look at this place and starts crying. The tears aren't sad, however. Not really. Most of it is the tired, strengthless crying of someone overwhelmed at last, a natural reaction to not just being able to slow down and really process her surroundings on a deeper level, but to seeing so much happy, content life after all the pain, danger, misery and fear she grimly waded through and grappled with to get here. It's also the crying of someone that feels an achingly strong twang of redemptive joy.

She answers in a blurred tone, not wiping her eyes, wanting to keep looking at everything and everyone.]

....'m not crazy, just stubborn.

Crazy, stubborn, amazing how those lines get blurred.

[She's getting to her feet and moving over to Hydra. And....wow, that's like a half a foot on her at this 'age.']

[It takes her some time to turn her head first to the side, and then up, still crying.]

You're....older?

[That was totally text before.]

its a potential thing. plus maybe an au thing who knows. r u ok?

AU?

[....wipes at face, and then with tired honesty:]

Uh-huh.

alternate universe. whole big thing very confusing.

[Will put a hand on her shoulder and guide her over to sit down.]

[what does she even say to that kind of concept

obediently follows and sits wherever she's guided, leaning against roxy]

...okay.

[She wraps an arm around her shoulders.]

been a rough day huh?

[.....turns and wraps both arms around roxy and CLINGS]

Y-Yes.

[Hugging back.]

sorry. but i did need the help.

[sniffles]

You don't have to be sorry.....it's still w-worth it.

...all right.

its okay to cry. its safe here.

Nnn.....I trust y-you.

[proceeds to wail quietly for a few minutes, clinging and sniffling, before going silent and relaxed]

[She will just hold her and rubs her back the whole time. All the support and willing to wait for her.]

[BUT SHE CAME HERE TO SUPPORT AND HELP YOU!!! goddammit

not resisting though]

....thanks. Sorry, I didn't.....I know this isn't about me.

[It's cool, this is Heart's deal.]

of course its bout u.

friends r my most imp thing. part of me bein okay is making sure all of u could be ok.

[pausing to consider that since, after all, she's not so different in that respect]

Then....I'll be okay. I promise. It just all finally caught up with me once I got here.

u dont need to promise. if ur not okay then ur not okay and ill do what i can to help. thats why its 'could be.' want to make sure u got the means 2 b ok even if u arent at the moment.

it is a lot tho.

I'm not....saying it because I think I need to. I'm saying it because it's true.

[she's not a liar, she doesn't say things out of pity or a sense of obligation]

I'm better than I used to be.

im glad 2 hear that. just wanted to be sure.

ur important 2 me. i wouldnt want a promise to me to ever hurt u.

[keeps either hugging or leaning against, weh physical comfort]

....I know. I wouldn't want that, either. So....I don't want to make promises that could hurt either of us, even if they sound nice.

[All the physical comfort. She smiles and nods.]

thats a good idea. ill try to...subconsciously member that i guess.

If you can! I want to tell Roxy everything when she's awake, too, so she'll hear that again anyway.

I don't want to hide anything from her. I used to think.....that people knew or remembered, somehow, what happened in their hearts. But I know better now.

thatll help. not sure how much specifics get retained.

oh yeah no they dun remember shit. zelos didnt. p sure technic didnt either or hed have believed why i quit drinking.

[she just says, simply, in innocent defense of her past self:]

I mistook silence for a lack of need to talk about what had happened. That was my mistake.
