[ ha ha ha ha... yay..... taair is at the tavern after all of that, sitting at a table with a glass of wine... when he spots lucas he gives him a smile though. warm, even though his vibes are just. tired and sad. ]
Lucas...how are you feeling? [ and if samura is there he is also getting a little greeting. ]
[Samura is here!! He is taking his infant child to the tavern it's fine. The bunny can enjoy some water while his father tanks 10 bottles of wine. He'll move over though, sliding into a chair with relatively mellow vibes. Some faint sadness and tiredness as well, but it's fine. They're all fine.]
About as one could expect, I suppose. I hope you don't mind if I join you... Are you holding up alright, yourself?
[ samura immediately gets pets. also his father is so fucking valid ]
I don't mind at all - in fact, the company is welcome, my dear friend.
[ the mellowness is easy to match, too. a learned skill, something soft and calm, and he scooches over to make space for him. also i forgot to link it bc i never get to do this my comfy clothes fit check and he's got his hair up. yay ]
I'm... holding up is a good word, I think. I am alright, though I am longing for the peace of the early week.
[ he glances over at lucas, sympathetic. ] Though... you in particular have faced much this week - from your trials to what were I imagine today's gray hairs.
[oh he is so comfy damn. i aki wish to be that comfy. Lucas is not so comfy, though he's in a very loose dress today so he doesn't fucking die with his myriad injuries.]
Thank you.
[JOINING HIM... Both Lucas and Samura, who is very happy to get the pets, even if he is also sleepy after a long day of hard work (being a bunny at trial).]
You and I both, my dear. [Longing for that peace. Take him back to when their biggest concerns were Marcoh being a llama and so many people going bald. There's a little flicker of something even more tired in his emotional spread at that.] ...Yves often ends up finding trouble, whether or not he goes looking for it.
[ me too samura. he will just sit here and pet this sweet bunny and let it heal his soul from the horrors of the sad teen zone and midtrials that happen while he's out poking through the paint. ]
So I noticed. [ about yves... what a Student lucas has ] Thank the Radiant that we were able to find Akihiko, today - I'm sure that if we warned Yves that he would die because of those actions, he would have decided that was a perfectly acceptable outcome.
[ stress!!! there's that worry again, anxiety - a deep affection and care, too. ] Have you spoken to him about it yet...?
[HE REALLY JUST CAME BACK TO THAT. At least the bunny is here to soothe... He is perfectly content being pet.]
For both Akihiko's sake and Yves', I'm glad, as well. [Because he assumes Akihiko was influenced as apparently basically everyone has been. NO EVIL ASSHOLE APPLE-TAKERS AFTER ALL... Which is horrifying in a new way. There's a sigh, though - an empathetic understanding of the emotions he feels from Taair, and a reflection of it as he thinks of Yves.]
I haven't yet. He's still quite tender about it all... I'll speak with him soon enough, but I wish to give him time to recover after everything. As much as he can with so little time, at least.
[ bunny pets are such a healing thing actually im so glad you got to keep the baby ]
I don't blame you. [ about giving yves time - his emotions echo that feedback loop of worry and mellow reflection, and he shakes his head, taking a sip of his drink. ]
I'm sure if anyone can get through to him, it will be you, Lucas. [ genuinely. ] And... I am sure he will need our support in the coming days, though whether he truly accepts it or not will remain to be seen.
You and I both. [About worrying - he worries so much for Yves all the damn time, but especially when he does things like this. These painful acts that dig into him, since he's such a tender person.]
...Well. I do believe, at least, that he'll have plenty of support should he choose to accept it. And for now, that will have to be enough. We're working with such limited time that it doesn't really give one much space to recover properly.
