[relatable. but it's bad when Minuet does it]

I am upset. I don't want you to die. But I'd rather know than not know. Especially if I can help.

[ Guilt ratchets up while he tries to hammer it back down. ]

... Sorry.

I'm not actually trying to be an asshole, you know.

[ he just doesn't know how to die tbh he has zero practice ]

[oh no it's a guilt ouroboros, he feels bad for making Minuet feel bad. slinks down a little further into the water and polishes off his drink so he can focus on trying to make it float on the water to minimal success. with his concentration focused on his hands, his focus on controlling his emotions slips. little bubbles of emotion rise to the surface: worry, protectiveness, love, exasperation, exhaustion, affection.]

I know you're not. You're a nice guy. But--we're friends, aren't we? It feels bad to find out there's a problem only after I drag it out of you.

[ WAIT WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE ACTUAL EMOTIONS IN THIS FORCED EMOTIONSHARE

oh shit oh no oh god oh fuck ]

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[mykidisthebest]

Why are your emotions doing that. Did I say something wrong?

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[featherduster]

[ mfer you went off script ]

Nnnno . . .

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[mykidisthebest]

[you did it first by deciding to die]

Then what is it?

[he's starting to feel self-conscious now]

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[featherduster]

[ Take that issue up with the new weed with giant asscheeks ]

--I never have any idea what the hell is really going on in your head or how you feel about anything and I got embarrassed!!

[ Sheepish and still very much embarrassed but also like... warm gross feelings... kinda humbled ]

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[mykidisthebest]

[is this...openness in response to openness...communication is wild

because he is experiencing warm happy emotions while also being horribly embarrassed about them, he leans over to steal Minuet's drink]

Isn't it usually pretty obvious? I didn't think I was hiding anything.

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[featherduster]

None of that is obvious at all!

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[mykidisthebest]

--How is it not?!

[BAFFLED!!!!!]

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[featherduster]

[ verklempt ]

You're pissed and annoyed like 80% of the time... that's not counting the silent seething rage.

[ also u only express your worry when you're PRETENDING TO BE A CAT!!!!! ]

1/2

[mykidisthebest]

I am not! I'm worried about you because you keep getting hurt or dying! Besides, I went to check on y--

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[mykidisthebest]

[no he was a cat. he did this to himself.

guiltily sinks down into the water for a minute. he needs to contemplate his life choices.]

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[featherduster]

[ JUST FUCKIN STARES AT HIM ]

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[mykidisthebest]

[RESURFACES WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF GUILT HE WENT UNDER WITH]

I've created a misunderstanding. I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were that gullible.

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[featherduster]

[ INDIGNANTLY ]

Excuse me?

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[mykidisthebest]

[don't look at him like that the guilt is already killing him]

Have you talked to any magical cats lately.

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[mykidisthebest]

[sinks back down into the water]

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[featherduster]

[ GENTLY (ok not too gently) DRAGS HIM BACK UP ]

Hey Lethe?

[ EXASPERATED, like of course. Of course. You dumb fucking horse. But still fond somehow. Awful. ]

How're people supposed to know your real feelings if you go out of your way to hide it?

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[mykidisthebest]

I was going to change back before I talked to you but you were outside instead of resting inside! Maybe next time you should rest after you die, stupid!

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[featherduster]

[ Bruh

This isn't cuteness aggression because Lethe is too fucking insufferable to be cute, but it's definitely... 'a positive emotion of SOME KIND' aggression.


He may only have one arm but it's enough to pull Lethe into a hug ]

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[mykidisthebest]

[he feels less mortified, if only because they both probably look very stupid right now. and also maybe the positive emotions helped. hugs him back]

I shouldn't have to say that I care every time you get hurt before it sinks in. So don't forget it.

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[featherduster]

[ Soft ]

Alright.

[ ... Less soft ]

No wonder that cat was so goddamn demanding.
