[ bro does he look like he needs help

(yes god please help h,) ]

What did you have in mind?

Re: [night 61]

[smooths a thumb over Minuet's brow, exactly where the blood was in the dream]

Let me in.

With Lethe as a medium, if you want, to make things safer and more stable.

But you're always getting injured in ways kissing won't heal. Maybe there's a way to soothe some of that.

[ SLAMS INTERNAL PANIC BUTTON ]

. . . I'm not sure you know what you're getting yourself into. And Lethe definitely doesn't.

[inclines his head]

If you don't let me try, will I ever?

It's not as though I don't see the walls you have up, whenever I'm in there.

[ He's silent while he pulls up and then discards multiple responses here, it's not worth it chiefly among them. Charon will just say that it is. ]

Maybe.

But I don't want you to... regret anything.

Re: [night 61]

[looks him in the eye, even if the way he's slightly squinting from the headache throws some of the impact off]

You can call it stubbornness, if you like.

But I have never regretted anything I have offered you.

[featherduster]

[ Haven't isn't the same as won't, he does not say ]

... I'll think about it.

To be clear, it's not that I don't trust you.

Re: [night 61]

[endsjustified]

...I know.

You're worried anyway.

Re: [night 61]

[featherduster]

[ Low ]

It's never gone well.

Re: [night 61]

[endsjustified]

. . .

How often has it been tried with your consent?

Re: [night 61]

[featherduster]

[ ... 8/ 8\ ]

You know I wouldn't have allowed that.

Re: [night 61]

[endsjustified]

Then of course it's never gone well.

Re: [night 61]

[featherduster]

Most people aren't lunatics like you are.

[ Despite the words, this does not come across as an insult at all ]

Re: [night 61]

Says the one who just walked into my head to have words with a demon.

[hm. he appears to have retained at least some idea that happened]

Re: [night 61]

[featherduster]

[ ... fuck

He Said Some Stuff in there ]

How much do you remember?

Re: [night 61]

[endsjustified]

Until you went through my childhood bedroom door.

Re: [night 61]

[featherduster]

I'm--

[ "Don't apologize," Charon says before immediately drawing attention to things he definitely feels he should apologize for

SHUTS UP THOUGH ]

Re: [night 61]

[endsjustified]

...

How much did he harm you?

Re: [night 61]

[featherduster]

[ 1. He has no idea dude lol

2. Any non-zero amount will probably just upset Charon and that's the exact opposite of what they were trying to do here

3. Maybe he will just continue shutting up. Minuet shut the fuck up challenge ]

. . .

Re: [night 61]

[endsjustified]

[ok well

after a couple moment's silence Charon just sighs, puts both hands on either side of Minuet's face, and squishes it]

Re: [night 61]

[featherduster]

[ 8( ]

. . . I've got a bitch of a headache. That's genuinely all I know.

Re: [night 61]

[endsjustified]

[grumbles inarticulately and puts an equally firm kiss on his forehead, like he can banish it that way (he probably can't)]

If there's anything to be done for the situation with available tools, you will have done it.

Re: [night 61]

[featherduster]

[ He knows for a fact that you have the same headache, bud. His hold on Charon just tightens a little. ]

I hope that's true.

You'll tell me, one way or the other...?

Re: [night 61]

[endsjustified]

I will. I don't know when I can confirm anything for certain, but--I will.

Re: [night 61]

[featherduster]

Alright.

[ He seems mollified by this much, in the meantime ]

Thank you.
