annoyingly pulls at adolphe's cheeks for a second—a little reprimanding pinch before he relaxes again ]
But you're the one who makes me happy. You're the one who makes me feel reassured. The only one around here who can make me feel safe with just a word.
[ lucas is also quite good at it—but adolphe truly takes the least effort to calm yves's nerves when he's such an emotional person ]
If I miss you the most, it's just because I loved you that much. And I'd never choose to love you any less.
[ Yves and love go hand in hand, Adolphe thinks. This is why he really can't get angry or swat Yves's hands away when he pinches his cheeks. What does it mean to feel special in a way that he doesn't hate? He's still struggle to come to terms with it, which is why his encounters with Elysia make him wary when she insists that he's suddenly worthy of things that he doesn't feel like he deserves. It's like being gaslit with imposter syndrome and he doesn't know what to do with himself.
But to hear these words from Yves, he feels like he can believe them just a little more. Adolphe tries to muster the mental preparation and courage to speak. ]
[ Adolphe's chao picks a great time to interrupt him, by which, no it's horrible. The chao makes some baby babbling sounds before it tries to climb up Yves's pant leg. ]

but yves just
places both of his hands on either side of adolphe's face ]
It's not your fault.
no subject
He can't tell if it's Yves's hands that are warm or if his cheeks are. ]
It isn't, but... still. I don't want to be the one that makes you sad.

Hey, stop that.

Hi, buddy. Adolphe, what'd you name it?
[ yves's own chao is toddling after... not wanting to be left behind... looking up at adolphe with :pien: eyes ]
no subject
I haven't given it a name.
no subject
[ yves will just lift the chao up and down like baby. yves's chao is probably just going to fall asleep in adolphe's lap ]
Mine is Dawn. Maybe yours should be Dusk.
[ DON'T JUST GIVE ADOLPHE'S CHAO A NAME TO MATCH YOUR OWN CHAO THAT MATCHES YOUR OWN NAME ]
no subject
Isn't it colored a bit too bright to be Dusk?
[ It's yellow... ]
no subject
[ NOT THE LAST MINUTE CHAO NAME SWAP

no subject
[ He sighs and finally lets go of Yves's ear. ]
no subject
no subject
[ Yes, he is. ]
no subject
The chao being around will probably make it happen more.
no subject
[ Yves is right that the chao being around will make that happen more though. His little soul baby thing... ]
And that's what they're called?
no subject
[ assumes this info came out somewhere during the party ]
They're part of our souls... but they're all so cute..
no subject
Adolphe looks down at the chao on Yves's lap. It's so yellow, but it's just a name. It shouldn't have such big consequences from it, right? ]
... I guess I'll have it be Dusk, then.
no subject
Really...?
