[ he did plenty of that when they had their ball, after all. he and bas tore up the dance floor but it was once again just a puppy playdate
looks up at adolphe thoughtfully ]
I guess I just get excited since you're different from me. [ every little gesture of affection from adolphe is adorable and sincere ] So I might get a little carried away.... Sorry.
[ He raises an eyebrow. Boy. Elysia was right. Yves gets soooo carried away. However, at the same time, Adolphe can't really blame him. Let Yves be happy at some points... (says the problem himself) ]
... I do remember though, when I kissed Elysia, I did that because I thought she was being really cute at the time.
[ He frowns, because that's weird. He wouldn't just kiss someone because they're cute. ]
I think that's called having eyes. [ TO BE HONEST! ELYSIA IS SOOOOOO CUTE. ] And there's nothing wrong with confidence, as long as you're sincere and don't mean any harm.
[ yves is sweet but he doesn't kiss anybody willy nilly... he doesn't think adolphe does either ]
... but you can like someone without fully realizing it, and then they're doing something cute, and then you think, 'ah, I want to kiss them'. I think that's a normal way for thoughts to develop.
[ even if he's trying to be polite! and not push! but.
Yeah, it kinda is, huh. That's exactly the kind of train of thought he had at that moment. But to let himself go and just kiss her like that? All of a sudden? Who the fuck? ]
... I'm having a lot of dissonance in my head right now.
Yup. He flops on the bed with the grace of a hippo right next to Yves. He buries his face into the mattress for a bit before looking up and sighing, resting his head on his arms. He's lying down on his stomach. ]
About the redemption project... I don't know what criteria this god has for us, but I sinned a lot when I got here.
[ adolphe you’re so cute… yves laughs and helps arrange the pillow better for adolphe. he turns so that he’s on his side, reaching out to run his fingers through adolphe’s hair idly ]
I think you can write a letter to ask about it if you’re worried. I don’t think I’ve been perfect either. I’ve gotten greedier, I think.
… but well, it’ll be okay. You don’t have to do this for me… but if you need some extra time to be redeemed, I’ll wait for you. Or I’ll just ask to go where you go anyway.
Yeah, but that's part of why I'm worried about him.
[ he looks thoughtful ]
He's a noble, so I don't expect to get caught up in all his affairs... but I do think we could get enough help to get settled somewhere in the country and figure ourselves out.
I'd like to help him where I can, but... well, that can come after learning a new country.
[ Adolphe thinks Yves is talking about growing old with just Claude, so he's like. Hm. His hair is being played with, but his thoughts are too preoccupied by how terrible his early childhood was.
… there’s a lot of wars in different places, from what I can tell. I’ve asked for a few different options, but other people have advised me against their worlds, even if they’d love to have us otherwise.
[ isn’t it crazy how that works out ]
But… that’s fair. Claude said that his home isn’t easy either. I just…

[ The pillow is nice and so is Yves's hand going through his hair. Mmm... he finds himself relaxing a little. ]

I can see it now... politician Yves.
[ He thinks Yves would be a really bad one...... ]
no subject
I would be so bad at it.
no subject
[ lmao ]
I know I would be bad at it too, but you're on a different level.
no subject
I think it’s hard to be good at it. That’s what makes Claude so amazing.
[ but he’ll just keep playing with Adolphe’s hair ]
There is a war to consider and there’s stuff we’ve never dealt with like wyverns but… there’s farms. Swords. People who age past 23.
I think we could make it work.
no subject
Adolphe goes quiet at that. All he remembers is being miserable, and he's not sure if he wants to subject an even worse side of humanity to Yves. ]
So did you want to primarily help Claude with his situation there?
no subject
[ another beat, and he occupies his time briefly with playing with adolphe’s hair ]
But I want a place where we can adapt and grow old together even more than that.
[ they’re not even together yet but he says shit like this ]
no subject
........ ]
Right. Nobles have advantages, don't they?
no subject
Hm? Oh, I mean, I guess so? Claude could probably help us secure some land for a farm for you and help me if I wanted to open up Courrune again…
I would want to make sure to repay him but I’m sure if I ask nicely we can at least get help…
no subject
[ Fine. He just says it. ]
I don't doubt that we can receive help for anything else, but it's just...
[ devastating. ]
no subject
[ isn’t it crazy how that works out ]
But… that’s fair. Claude said that his home isn’t easy either. I just…
[ don’t want to say goodbye. ]
… mm. Well, I won’t be selfish.
no subject
[ He lightly bonks his head. ]
If you think you can handle it, then you should go. Be selfish.
[ But
He just says "you". Not "we" nor "us". ]
no subject
he is just going to grab onto the collar of adolphe’s shirt then and immediately: ]
I’m not going anywhere without you.
no subject
... Maybe we should talk about this later.
no subject
But I’m going to say the same thing.
