[Difficulties sure is a word for it!]

...Huh. I'd imagine it was at Intensity's initiative - he was quite involved with everything, after all... I know there were lovers between our units, too, but I gather they've left since, nor do I know how recent or long ago it was.

[ mister Talent for the Understatement ]

Wildfire and miss Silence were lovers, yes! They have both since left, but Wildfire is a fan of writing letters. I think you would like him.

[weenwoon]

[a prize for being misleading for the garbageman!]

I think so too. I believe he's the only person that Five agreed to call good.

[He smiles, taking another sip of his drink, but there's a slight flush on his face now.]

On, ah, the topic of the relationship between our units... I believe we should give some consideration to our own situation.

Re: 340 late evening

[innerdaemons]

[ a soft laugh ]

To our own situation.

[ he repeats, amused ]

And what would you like to consider?

Re: 340 late evening

[weenwoon]

[he bridles a little!! rude!!]

"Situation" is a pretty good summary, don't you think? I would find it hard to qualify what exactly our relationship is right now.

[also this is buying himself time to try and gather his composure]

Re: 340 late evening

[innerdaemons]

Are we not friends? Or have I assumed in error?

Re: 340 late evening

[weenwoon]

[ >:T!!! ]

We are, certainly. But I am not sure if we are exactly just friends.

[like. listen. things are weird.]

Re: 340 late evening

[innerdaemons]

[ hummmms ]

Is your hope to define us more clearly?

Re: 340 late evening

[weenwoon]

[He waves a hand.]

Not as such. Mainly... I am worried about what might happen during one of those inhibitions-lowering games. Namely that I could make some... mistakes.

Re: 340 late evening

[innerdaemons]

I worry this may sound like an interrogation, but. What would you believe those potential mistakes to be?

Re: 340 late evening

[weenwoon]

[He looks him in the eye, expression serious if a little tired.]

Trying to hurt myself through you. I will likely attempt to rope you into reenacting what happened in your heart again.

Re: 340 late evening

[innerdaemons]

[ oh NO ]

-- I would not allow it.

Re: 340 late evening

[weenwoon]

[WHAT DID YOU THINK IT WAS ABOUT YOU DUMBASS]

...Thank you. That is what I wanted to ask of you--to stop me if you're able to...

[He sighs.]

I cannot help worrying because I know I can be quite... inventive when I put my mind to it. So while I likely would not lie to you directly, I would still... try to make it sound as though I really am fine with what's going on.

[innerdaemons]

[ he's not smart

** about being conscientious about people's traumas ]

Then it as simple as denying, you, is it not?

Re: 340 late evening

[weenwoon]

[Wow it's almost like trauma has consequences, who'd have THOUGHT

Levity looks a little surprised at the suggestion, though.]

In theory, yes. I am simply not certain how possible it would be in practice, if we both were less in control of ourselves than normal.

Re: 340 late evening

[innerdaemons]

[ siigh ]

We can do nothing to control those instances, can we? It is the whims of this place that decide whether or not we will be affected.

Re: 340 late evening

[weenwoon]

[He nods, sadly.]

...Indeed. But I thought it better to warn you. Even if we can't control it as such, maybe we can at least steer it. I don't think either of us would be happy with it if I tried to manipulate you like that.

Re: 340 late evening

[innerdaemons]

The thought occurs to me -- that we could have a contract. Something that would bind us even if we are not ourselves.

Re: 340 late evening

[weenwoon]

[wow i cant believe garbageman actually did a thoughtful

Levity looks a little embarrassed, though.]

Th-that would be a good idea, yes... Of course, I hope things are never so drastic that we would actually have need of it. But... better safe than sorry, I believe the saying is.

[and now for the question,]

...who should we have draw it up, however? I imagine it likely needs to be someone already familiar with the situation...

Re: 340 late evening

[innerdaemons]

[ he did it! accomplished! ]

Of course -- I would not hope it would be necessary, either, but if circumstances do require it it would be immensely helpful to have.

I would trust Five with such a thing.

Re: 340 late evening

[weenwoon]

[good dog!! for once!]

I would have picked Vergil, perhaps, but I don't think the topic is exactly comfortable for him. But I agree Five is our other choice.

Re: 340 late evening

[innerdaemons]

I trust Five moreso to be a neutral third party. As "neutral" as something like this can be, that is.

Re: 340 late evening

[weenwoon]

[He has his own vague reservations about giving Five possible ammo against himself but,]

Will you approach him about it, then?

Re: 340 late evening

[innerdaemons]

[ then!! say that!! weenie!!!!! ]

If that is alright with you.

Re: 340 late evening

[weenwoon]

[YOU ARE LITERALLY THE LAST PERSON TO TELL ANYONE TO SAY THINGS]

Yes. It's not as though we have much in the way of choice anyway.

[a beat,]

I do hope this won't affect his opinion of me.
