[ yes definitely somewhere soft. he - really does not want to be in his room right now, actually, so it helps to have somewhere else to put his energy.
there's a pause from where he's o ver getting a water or something, stilling, his back to vi. and then, voice rough: ]
...yeah. [ soft. ] Me too.
[ his miyu. it's n ot anything different than norm, really, but it never gets any easier to just lose people like that, especially out of nowhere. he could've lost vi, too.
inhale, exhale, roll your shoulders back. when he turns, he's subdued, but calmed down now, and he brings her the water bottle. ]
[ she mutters, rubbing at her face with her hand. she sits curled up, arms around her stomach, guarding herself. when he comes over, she glances up at him... and then takes the water bottle, holding it. thinks, for a long moment. ]
I don't know. Just showed up in this place, and tried to get out. It was like... a series of rooms? They had monsters, and we fought them with the weapons we picked up.
With how you look right now? You'd have beeen dead too.
[ it's the logical point of view, but. he gets the illogical one, too. the protective one, the one who needs to jump in front. of course he does. he thinks about miyu's big eyes and the way she finally started to relax when they chatted, about how surprised she was when he was nice to her, and he shakes his head to clear it again, jittering a little in place himself as he finally comes to sit down across from her, draping his arms down and resting his elbows on his knees.
[ unfortunately, shy babies like miyu remind her a lot of her own sister, so this was devastating. she's not showing much of it, swallowing it down, but. it's there, and it aches. ]
Yeah, like the bird. It had three heads, but it wasn't mean or anything. It kind of acted like a dog.
[ she's a little amused by it too, at least, sinking down against the wall. ]
It was guarding our stuff, so I gave it a rub down and let the others grab our things. And then - we went through a door, killed a bunch of monsters. Rinse and repeat, got like... boons? Stuff that'd help us out with the battles.
[ sinks... further down. ]
The last room had a big monster with a bunch of heads, and.
The whole damned place is out to get us - wouldn't surprise me if it got personal, next, either.
[ but that's so deeply worrisome to hear anyway, that some kind of capability like that could be possible here. surely it'll be fine. surely vi will be fine.
he scoots a little closer in his seat. ]
It seems more like the latter than the former, if you ask me.
And be nice to the three-headed goose. Yeah, I got it.
[ ok that's a joke. he nods, though because he'll try. the last thing he needs is to die out here - will needs him to get back. him and hulkenberg both.
the worried frown stays on his face, mouth curved downwards, but it - softens, a little, along with his tone. ]

There was a goose.

a beat. ]
... A goose? [ what ] Like... the bird?
no subject
Yeah, like the bird. It had three heads, but it wasn't mean or anything. It kind of acted like a dog.
[ she rubs at her face again. ]
This already sounds fucking insane.
no subject
when she rubs her face, he exhales out a little - there's a little humour to it, though it's very faint, sort of helpless. it does sound stupid. ]
... The dog part's insane, the fact that it tried not to kill you, that's bizarre. The three headed goose thing - I've seen stranger. Try me.

[ hesitates. ]
no subject
...How bad?
[ because he knows she's not the type to scare easy, even just after a few days. ]
no subject
[ she sighs in frustration. ]
… I saw my sister. She was there and I couldn’t reach her.
[ but when could she ever? ]
no subject
...Damn. [ with feeling, first. that's awful. ] But - it can't have been her, yeah?
no subject
she exhales slow. ]
Probably not. We'd know if she was here. [ she's not exactly a quiet person. a long pause. ] She blew us up. With her stupid - hah.
... No, you know, you're right, it couldn't be her, because it was way too pointed.
no subject
[ well, the fact she was there, at least. he's still frowning, jittering a little in his seat. ]
Does feel pretty suspicious. If I saw Will out of nowhere, I'd start thinking I was going crazy, not that he was here.
no subject
[ ... ]
Which means either I was drugged and hallucinating, or something was pretending to be her to get at me, for some reason.

she glances at him, but doesn't protest him getting closer. ]
Yeah. Probably. [ ... ] It means whatever it was knows more about me than just the basics.
no subject
[ hrhrhgh. that's unpleasant. ]
Feels bloody insidious, doesn't it?
no subject
[ she agrees, with a wince as she sinks down against the wall. ]
Watch yourself. Look through doors before you open them.

...You need anything?
no subject
Unless you've got painkillers, no, I'm alright. [ ... ] Maybe stick around for a bit, though. If you haven't got anywhere else to go.
