[Imagine being long-lived and not carrying some heavy burden of loss, couldn't be his ass.
The faint bit of melancholy that he picks up on just makes him reach out in this hell void that will probably start departicling soon unless you have another surprise fish memory to give, setting his hand gently on Sidon's arm.]
Those words really mean a lot. I think you're likely right! She cherished every moment of her life. [Even if it was such a short one, he still finds that so admirable.]
[ they really are kind of stuck in the same weird aging range help. he doesn't flinch, just giving a grateful touch to the back of dahut's hand in return.
i want a dahutty second memory so we can trade ]
Hah... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so obvious!
[ he's not very good at hiding anything. ]
—Say, Dahut. Your solution, where you expanded your heart to feel more keenly. Did it make you happier?
[THEY'RE JUST OUT HERE!!!! HELLISH!!!!! At least Sidon is a giant shape of water fishie about it. BLASTS U WHAT MEM U WANT give me.... more fishmems.]
Oh, please don't apologize! Wearing your heart on your sleeve like that is such a beautiful thing. [Of course DAHUT WHO'S OBSESSED WITH FEELINGS would have this opinion.] I'm only sorry if my pointing it out was uncomfortable.
[As for the question, though, there's not a single ounce of hesitation.]
It did! Literally, in that I could feel happiness much more acutely - but also in that I believe it's important to feel everything, even if it's not always pleasant or wonderful.
sidon is an open book for most things but he's a little apologetic when people have to deal with him having feelings that aren't exuberant cheerfulness? which is a little hypocritical, considering, ]
It is! Sorrow and anger have their place, too. Even if rarely feels that way at the time.
[ but anyway, as the void finally seems ready to free them—it acts back up. the atmosphere takes on a lovely mist, the sort that rises at the end of a waterfall, and it's memory time again? ]
The way Sidon feels apologetic when people have to deal with his sad feelings and the void immediately decided YOU WANT SAD FEELINGS?? (yaywon voice) GRIEF
This is probably one of the most familiar feelings to Dahut, though, so he's sure not going to shy away from it! Even if he does look a little apologetic in turn as it fades away.]
...I'm sorry for seeing something so private, monsieur. [Grief is such a personal thing. Loss in all its forms is something so private.] And I'm sorry that you lost her. It seemed like having her was such a wonderful thing, though...
[ THE VOID HAS COMEDIC TIMING... though he is truly not amused. drawing out of it, he immediately grimaces. ]
No, no, I should be the one to apologize! [ imagine just making everyone feel your childhood angst all of the sudden, awful. but, really—and very unfortunately—he doesn't think dahut is a stranger to this genre of emotion. does that make it better or worse to share? ] It was a very long time ago.
[ he pulls himself together and smiles, which is genuine even if it's practiced. he's not a stepford smiler. ]
It was wonderful. I couldn't have asked for a better sister. [ could've asked for more time, though. ] I try to carry the fond memories closer, these days.
[HELP. The way you have to specify this because there are multiple stepford smilers in this graveyard LUKE.
It's nice to see some genuine warmth even in the seat of grief, though - even if it's an old, worn grief. They'd just talked about what it's like to sit with loss as long-lived people, after all.]
No need, no need. [To apologize, that is. And then:] I think that's a lovely idea! Your memories are one thing that can't be taken from you, so I think they're just as important to treasure as the things you felt. Both the happy and the sad.
[Sidon was such a tiny little lad... But loss is loss, whatever shape it comes in and whatever scars it leaves behind.
Anyway, the void spits back a memory completely unrelated to familial grief ie the one that i wrote for you that i ended up not giving. now u can have. it is this.]
[ the way i had to brace myself to come back to memshare
their stories of loss, the shared sensation of at once very old grief and very lasting mourning—it's cleared away by a very different scene?? though not one totally disconnected from the last memory he got. he's quiet a moment as he processes. ]
Oh, dear. [ oh dear!!! ] You two do have a complicated relationship.
BUT YEAH!! YEAH. They're 20 different things! Enemies is one of them. Dahut just laughs lightly as the memory fades, looking sheepish.]
We do! [THEY DO...] Fortunately, that situation managed to work out just fine, but... Well! As you can see, Monsieur Scien and I don't always stand on the same side.
