[Nods.] Seein' my friends dead. Even here, it doesn't...

[She reaches out to touch Sparrow, stops, pulls back. Sparrow is too STILL and...well, it scares her.]

Death is still death. Even here.

[ sits down next to her, even if he wouldn't know who Sparrow is, it's still obvious her importance to Roxy ]

It's still real when it happens.

...yeah.

Still feels real, even if they come back. Eventually.

And since you've experienced it, you know the pain is real.

[ since. he's gotten the taste of that in this heart ]

[Nods.] Yeah.

She...really hates it. Has had nightmares 'bout it.

But she's always gotta try and save people.

The last part sounds like you. It looks like you probably have nightmares, too.

...sorta, I guess.

I dun...dream like normal people do. It's part of the Game. Just memories 'less someone else wanders in. Or just the void.

What do you mean by wandering in?

Sometimes it happens. I guess Delriza does it. Where people can wander into each others dreams.

At least I dun think dream bubbles are happenin' here.

Ah.

[ he'd ask more questions about this, but. there are... other things that are important here. he indicates Sparrow ]

Who is she?

[There's always later.]

Sparrow. From Taksahaka. She's my girlfriend.

I haven't met her.

[ not at all bothered by the "girlfriend" part ]

She's....with her patron echo right now.

Why's that?

[She shrugged.] She need to go, I guess. Protect her from breaking, probably.

[ he pauses a moment and taps into his sylladex for the pumpkin soup ]

Do you want some? Maybe you could tell me about her.

[She looks at the pumpkin soup.]

...would you eat too?

[ nods softly ]

We can share.

...all right.

[Will take the thermos and pours out some soup, holding it out to him.]

[She...she has a Food Thing, okay.]

She's from...a nice world. Overall. Some weird shits going on because she's friends with a horrorbeast terrorgod and that's always shenanigans. But it's like power of friendship reins supreme with their cool animal bodies. And she shows it. She's just....so hopeful. So bright and happy and brave.

[ he did gather something like that, since this is like a magical elixir. he'll take his share from her and starts to sip on it while listening, he nods, prompting her to go on with her talk ]

[Oh.]

[That is some boost to positive feels. That things can grow and change and become better and more full of life.]

[It doesn't make him forget about the bad things, but it feels possible to overcome the bad things and keep moving forward.]

But she was also really good at handling the bad shit. I know it got to her, it hurt her, but she didn't look at people with pity. And she was really good at pickin' up when you needed help, or when she just needed to listen. It was hard to not be happy around her.

[ he'll be offering her some, too. to see if she'll take her share after this batch of words ]

And that's why you were drawn to her. She understood you and what you needed. Complimented exactly what you wanted. It sounds like she is a strong thread for you.

[Will take the cup.]

Yeah.

I love her.

[Will drink some of the drink.]

[ and, since the feelings were not elaborated on in the prior tag, he does feel more refreshed, not as heavy. between the combination of Doom pulling him out of that darkness and the soup from Life, he feels more at ease. it doesn't mean he'll be fine when he gets out, but right now, he feels like he can continue on. try to mend what is broken, or destroy the poison in the sea ]

Hold on tight to that feeling.

[ even if he doesn't know it, even if his own emotions are a mess, just from hearing her words, he can tell how important this is ]

...

[She holds out the thermos cup, her other hand moving to her heart.] Hold onto it, huh?
