thevoidsdarkhorse | Heart Game (Continued)

You refused to play by the rules... the rules that would probably have meant we all died somehow, regardless. Do... you blame the other teams for their decisions after yours? I would rather have it end early as it did, than dragging it out endlessly.

You did what you did because you would not choose to kill anyone. I could never blame you for that. Because you care so much. And because you are our friend.

Of course not! They...they just got caught up. It was all ready to fall down...

How can you not even be a little mad?

You got caught up in it as well.

I have no reason to be mad at you. You did not do it with ill intent or ill purpose. You did what you would have done, or thought would be best. The turnout was unfair to you as well, because... the game turned on you as well as everyone else. And also because you are my friend. And I trust you.

[She jerks back at that last part.]

What?

Roxy?

Why would you want to trust me?!

Because you are my friend.

...

You....

[She looks down.]

....am I wrong....about how hard it is for you to...to connect to people?

[Because there may have been Reasons you got Void.]

[...he shakes his head]

No. No, you are not wrong about that. It... is very difficult... and sometimes, I do not know what to expect of people, or what to say, or how to act. But... a few are different.

[like. you. Dio... probably Miles. THERE'S NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE HE'S put his trust in so far]

...

[Shoulders starting to shake.]

I...

I would not lie about that.

I just...I don't understand...

[A hand pulls away from her legs, reaching for him.]

[... it's fine he can. take the initiative and give her a hug. YOU WERE THE ONE WHO TAUGHT ME THAT, BTW]

What part of it?

[TEACHING ALL THE HUGS.]

Why you would....what I did to earn it...

Just by... being who you are. And I am very glad I have gotten to know you better as well.

...you...

[Might be clinging and crying on you now.]

[Homoelves get all the tears.]

[... ._. that's fine. he'll hug you for a bit and let you do that]

[Such a good friend. '^']

[he tries his best!! that's all there is to it. and he just wants you to feel good about yourself]

[It is a long journey.]

[But moodwhiplash is...well, a thing.]

[And suddenly you're back in the Neighborhood with all the fire, on the street now.]

[There's a building collapsing near you, and an injured Carapacian is trying to get out of the way of it.]

[. . . what just happened]

Ah...!

[well what else to do than to fly down to grab him and pull him out of the way before it's too late?]

[War flashbacks.]

[There is that! Though it becomes apparent that just simple grab and fly won't be enough to get you out unscathed.]

[... but... but...!

he doesn't really think before he pushes the Carapacian out of the way at least!]

[...see, this is why you got powers.]

[WALL COMING DOWN.]

[there's a split second before he just sort of puts his arms up to shield himself from the impact because that's the his first thought at that moment.

DOES THAT CREATE A SHIELD? hopefully]
