Those days feel like they were a really long time ago, now.
[but they weren't that long ago, were they? a handful of years isn't really that long a time, in the grand scheme of things. even compared to the length of the life she's lived so far, it's only a fraction of that time.
even so... it's hard to imagine living that way again.]
...you took me with you once, I think. I remember sneaking out and seeing the city with you.
[hak was there too but she doesn't remember that.]
General Joo-doh was really upset, but... I had fun.
[yOU ALMOST GOT KIDNAPPED, YONA.
but, anyway.]
Mm, we are. So... let's keep doing our best, together.
[not even thinking about the shocking, she holds out her hand to him, her fingers curled in except for her pinkie, which is extended.]
Let's promise that we'll both make it home from this place.
[YOU ALMOST GOT KIDNAPPED YONA but it's fine, they figured it out. once he's done bandaging her up, he looks out at the extended pinky, and manages a short, soft, breath of a laugh. he extends his own pinky out to gently curl it around yona's, accepting the shock that comes with it.
it's fine, it doesn't hurt all that badly, compared to anything else.]
Very well.
I promise.
All your injuries should be recleaned and bandaged now, so take care for the rest of the day to rest. Do you need any medicine? I got a book on it and was able to learn some, as well as from Chiron.
You ought to be careful today, wherever it is that you're staying.
[zzt! yona looks briefly surprised by the shock, but she doesn't recoil from it. it's fine.
the promise is more important, anyway.]
Mm, I'll be careful today. And I'm planning to stay here tonight, so if it turns out I do need medicine in the middle of the night [before they fall asleep, anyway] it will be close by.
[soo-won moves to rise then, adjusting his coat as he goes - before managing a small smile. he steps out of the emotionshare reach, but yona will be able to feel it toward the very end.
the near crushing feeling of heartache, guilt, and longing.]
.... no matter how important he may be - he'd choose you over me every time, Yona.
I've known that for as long as we've been friends. And so... given that he's someone I hold dear, I'd rather honor his wishes - and let him be with you.
[the effect lingers for about ten seconds - so soo-won will feel the strangest surge of jealousy, there, followed closely by a twinge of guilt and ... confusion?
why is she jealous? it doesn't feel like she's jealous over soo-won, but... she can't even remember hak.
god, this is a mess.]
...we've both already made plans for tonight, but -
Next week. We'll stay together, and the doll can stay with both of us, okay?
[there's a moment where he watches her, curious and confused over her emotions just as much as she is - but he'll answer even though his expression reads like he's confused]
... mm. Then let's do that. Blanca normally asks that I don't go anywhere alone on Thursdays - but I think he'd be happy to see you again, too.

I'll be headed out to the fort - with a few people. Not as many as last time, hopefully, but I won't be alone either.
[so that way yona knows that he's not being super reckless]
Will anyone else be here with you?
no subject
[he's hak-coded, so.]
And I'm going to make sure my roommate isn't alone, eiter.
no subject
Mm, that's good then. Then... wait here - and I'll be right back. I'll get the doll for you so you can hold onto it tonight.
Then let's meet again early tomorrow, alright?

...he's important to you, isn't he? It doesn't seem fair that I'm... taking that doll from you, when having him here would bring you comfort, too.

Maybe we can all have tea.
no subject
I'd like that! Blanca is a wonderful person... I'm glad to hear he's been looking out for you.
no subject
But I like him very much, too. Let's do that next week then - Zuko can still come along if he'd like, too.
no subject
[blanca is a good dad tbh]
Okay! I'll see if he'd like to come.
