SCAWWY 😱 caelus

[concoctive]

Daffodils symbolize rebirth, new beginnings, hope, joy, and good luck. Much of this symbolism arises from the fact that daffodils emerge each spring to light up barren landscapes with their cheerful yellow, orange, and white flowers. The bulb, leaf, and flower are used to make medicine. Despite serious safety concerns, people take daffodil for whooping cough, colds, and asthma. They also take it to cause vomiting.

[ silence for a while, but eventually he stops staring into the depths of blue. alfyn's been a good guy. dependable seeming. has a big axe (positive). ]

When he wasn't in the barn last night, I thought he was off somewhere having fun.

[concoctive]

[ the corner of his mouth quirks up sadly, sympathetic. ]

Bunch of us got stuck at the pyre, when the fog got real thick. It wasn't letting us pass. But he wasn't one of 'em there - so we're gonna have to ask around, find where he was and who he was with.

'cause I'm not sure if any of us that live at the theater were there last night.

[ it's fine! it's fine! who even cares about aventurine! a weirdo! a gay! who cares!

caelus kind of does! that was a 5*. fuck. ]

Was Cloud with you? He and Aventurine were hanging out--but that might have been because of someone's affinity powers. I don't know.

[ doesn't really matter. the yaoi is DEAD, real or cursed. ]

[concoctive]

Yeah, he was. Him, Aerith, Yuff, Gojo, Iwa, Nona, and Karma, if I remember right.

[ CAELUS YOUR 5* ARE ABANDONING YOU did you know ara is historically known for smashing betrayal on people? you're going to have to staple robin to life. ]

It might've been, though. Not sure what everybody's got - just mine, and I haven't told anybody it yet. [ not the point though. he kind of gauges caelus and his current state of being, before shifting closer and lifting the arm nearest him up to offer some comfort? a hug? ] You knew the guy before the village, huh.

[trashprince]

[ bold of you to assume i owe any of you anything and won't turn to betrayal myself as a self-defense mechanism. yeah. think about it, hero.

I told one person. They're gone now.

[ a very simple puzzle, shouldn't be too hard to put one and one together.

he notices the arm and hesitates before leaning in. a hug, huh? that sounds nice after all the death and misery. a firm squeeze. not bad. ]

Not well. He didn't leave a great first impression, so he was working on it here.

[ but it doesn't take long for caelus to latch on. clearly. ]

[concoctive]

[ I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO DESERVE THIS? DO NOT BETRAY ME, SAE SAESON!!!!

there's a wince with that, though, and he gives a small nod with a look of sympathy. but he does give him a hug, because - well, someone grieving can always use comfort, and alfyn is the type of person willing to give it. emotional competency and vulnerability are on his profile for a reason.

and he gives caelus that firm squeeze, trying to let him know that at least he's not alone. ]

Sorry, Caelus. Know it's not a lot, considerin', but I mean it. Seen a lot of loss to know what it looks like on somebody else.

[ what if all the honkais were dead by week 4.

the astral express crew are close but there's not a lot of cuddle piles. mr. yang might have a heart attack or something, you never know. but another person's warmth and earnest kindness comes through a little more with the addition of an embrace. that's science. ]

I've seen people die in front of me before.

[ mostly women! ]

Even so, I guess you never get used to it.

[concoctive]

[ do NOT! ]

... just 'cause you've seen it a lot doesn't mean it gets any easier. I sure know it never does for me.

[ he's quiet as he holds onto him, exuding as much warmth as he possibly can for someone in pain. ]

When we get used to it, that's when somethin' inside you has broken in a way that can't ever be fixed anymore.
