-Looks back at Cole-
-Lifts up the welding mask-
Have we met?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-Continues staring at the bread-
-Hasn't eaten in maybe three days-
-Spent one of those days running at Mach whatever-
-But it might not be yours-
-And you don't know who gave it to you and they'll probably want to be paid back for it-
-Nobody knows anyway-
-Nobody but Aven and he doesn't like you anymore because you just take and take and take and never give back enough-
-Continues sitting there-
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon Alchemist-Heads outside-
-Comes back a few moments later with a freshly killed rabbit-
-Starts skinning it-
-Stops-
...
It's my fault. I made him that way. He's tired because he has to deal with me.

MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistThen why hasn't he come back? He — he just left, and when he came back he didn't... he didn't even look at me, he just... he left with Fen, and he smiles at her, and spends time with her, and hugs her... he wants someone that doesn't have to be watched because they screw everything up and get everyone hurt and always complains about everything. That's why he doesn't talk to me. He tried, and he did his best, but he left, just like everyone else.
...Everyone leaves, anyway. I need to enjoy the time I have with them and stop complaining because they always leave, to make sure things don't hurt too bad when I'm waiting for someone else to come and talk to me.
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon Alchemist-Sits beside them both-
Cloud, you know you can always talk to me when everything seems to go wrong, don't you?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-Stops eating-
-Stares at it-
-Something digs its way through the haze of the last several years-
-It was his birthday-
-Nobody came again-
-They sat on the bed together and ate what would spoil the fastest-
-She told him stories for hours about heroes that saved townspeople from dragons and everyone loved them-
-He slept in her bed that night-
-She still smelled like blueberries-
-Continues sitting there-
-His face looks a bit wet-
-[You've made a social link with Cloud! Cloud will now DIE FOR YOU!]-
-Nods quietly, busy trying as hard as he can to immerse himself in the memory and separate it from the haze in case something happens to it-

MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon Alchemist-Looks between them both, clearly not sure how to broach sane conversation with either-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-Accepts it, tearing a piece off, more for Cloud's sake than his own hunger-
-Legion remains where he is, or rather, Legion's platform-
-However, ancillary systems begin to reboot-

...I need to get them something, then. To make up for it.
-Stares at it for a little while-
-He's still carrying around that damn travel mug-
-It's covered in ash and tried blood-
-Pours the tea into it-
-Drinks it from there instead-
