What... long-lived creatures? What foxians? You're not a fox! Aren't you just a human like me?

[ first cyoa... what the hap is fuckening ]

[historicals]

[ sorry buddy his brain is a little scrambled

there's a long pause - and then he shakes his head. ]

... What was I saying? I'm sorry.

[outdistanced]

...You can't say you're fine if you're zoning out like this.

[historicals]

[ aw. he laughs a little at that, ducking his head. ]

... Things are a bit blurry, at the moment. I'm sorry, my friend. I did not mean to worry you.

[outdistanced]

Of course you didn't. You never do, but how can we not be if you're hurt or diseased or whatever that was!

[historicals]

[ it occurs to him like

three seconds late that he's being scolded out of worry, and he dips his head a little further, though this time it is to hide a small smile. ]

You make a fair point...

[outdistanced]

Of course I do! I have common sense!

[ citation needed ]

Maybe you're doing better now, but there's still something off. What do you mean you were a fox? That doesn't make any sense.

[historicals]

[ thinking... focusing... ]

... I think... when I awoke, wherever I was - I had forgotten about this place, entirely. I looked differently, and... had a different life. It is all still swirled together.

[outdistanced]

[ just. trying so hard to wrap his head around this none of it makes SENSE ]

Wait, wait, are you saying you left heaven somehow? And you were hypnotized?

[historicals]

[ oh there's a detail that feels much more solid. ]

It wasn't heaven. [ that much he knows. ] I'm not sure about hypnotized, it... was more like I must have been something like a character in a story.

[outdistanced]

How could it not be? We can't leave. I can't even try to open a portal or anything.

But if you were a character, you wouldn't have been so hurt.

[historicals]

I wish that I knew. [ his brow furrows, thoughtful. ]

And, yes, but... I don't mean that physically so much as mentally. It... must have been very immersive. Physically, it all was very real. Or... it seemed that way, somehow.

I'll see if I can find any information - and ask the angels, though... tomorrow.

[outdistanced]

It's definitely sounding like you were hypnotized.

[ this is exactly what a lily does god taair keep up. ]

Don't go out of your way if you're still feeling so out of it.

[historicals]

[ oh honey ]

Well, I suppose I wouldn't know... [ but he does laugh a little, and nods. ] I'm not very good at staying still, but I'll try to listen.

[outdistanced]

Because your memory's being so weird...?

[ sighs. ]

If you really have to talk to them, you could just text. You don't have to push yourself for that.

[historicals]

...I suppose, but... I truly treasure my time face to face with everyone.

[ he doesn't like the phone :( ]

[outdistanced]

Then ask them to come to you while you rest. I doubt they'd want you doing something stupid while you should be recovering, either.

[ BE NICE ]

[historicals]

That is likely true.

[ zuriel is going to give him an earful actually but it's okay ]

... Laurence, thank you.

[outdistanced]

[ startles ]

W-What for? I haven't done anything.

[historicals]

Thank you for your company, and your perspective.

[ even if he was just confused and stressed, it was still so laced with worry - but he won't say that to his face to save his dignity. ]

And for coming to spend a little time with me, too. You didn't have to - I appreciate it more than you know.

[outdistanced]

[ what dignity. tsundere mind shaking, he stares at taair in disbelief for a moment. ]

...Get yourself injured without any explanation again and I won't next time!

[ okay? ]

[historicals]

[ this is so cute he is so charmed by this i love you laurence ]

I will do my very best not to do that, then.

[outdistanced]

[ if taair dies he's gonna be so livid. as it stands some of his flowers are turning a little pink around the edges and he's! a little flustered! he looks away! ]

Ugh... Just don't pretend to be fine when you're not, got it? If you need painkillers or something, someone can just bring them for you.

[ obviously not him!! haha!! that's it goodbye he's fleeing the scene ]
