[ well that's weird. not that dahut isn't a sunny person usually, and he bounced back fast the last few times he's DIED but this is next level brightness. ]
...Of course!
[ he helps with the zipper, carefully. it's kind of small and fiddly for him, but he's dexterous. ]
[ HE DOES NOT THINK IT'S AMAZING. he does finish zipping him into his new outfit though, patting dahut's shoulder to indicate this. given his current state, he does not... feel so bad just coming out and asking: ]
[STOP YOU LISTEN HERE IT'S PERFECTLY WONDERFUL. Yeah though wow isn't it wild and weird how space works... So funky...
He just nods with a chipper exuberance, insanely.]
Mm, I'm glad, too! It's such a wonderful thing that everyone is so strong and resilient! [YEAH!!!! Don't mind the fact that they were ghosts, it's fine, it's fine.]
Oh, but certainly, yes. Well! I don't know what Monsieur Scien, Monsieur Dion and Monsieur Diluc were up to before we all got thrown into that room together and I died on Monsieur Luke, but before that, Monsieur Luke and myself got caught up in a lockdown and a bit of a prison riot, haha. [DON'T HAHA.] Mademoiselle Sheba was there too, as a guard!
Anyway he would love to stop being insane! Maybe that's in the cards.]
Mm... Well, that's true, that is true! It wasn't very bright at all. But even in the darkest times, you can always rely on your friends to pull you to a brighter place!
he basically has to get down on a knee for this to work with how small dahut is, but that's fine. he pats his back. ]
Well, I think you're very resilient, and perhaps a little private—even when this passes, you may not choose to tell me much. [ he has no idea how much of this dahut is or isn't listening to. maybe he'll remember it. ] But I am glad you've returned to us. Accept a little bit of coddling from me, at least, hm?
[pixi said she just randomly launched bullshit shenanigans at you so im going to do the same thing but in reverse
Which is that at some point during this very nice warm Sidon hug in which Dahut is hugging him back just as warmly, patting his back and everything, he abruptly seizes up and starts coughing up a storm. HAHA!!]
Anyway thanks for helping, Dahut's shrimp posturing now. He's not choking on anything but he is coughing up a whole spew of midnight blue petals into both of his hands. HE'S IN HIS DEPRESSION ERA!! He also looks like he's in a bit of physical pain too, damn he hates it here.]
by now he's got a relatively good grasp on what blue petals mean, even if these particular ones aren't one he coughs up on a daily basis. he's fretful, but after a moment just reaches for one of the many spare shirts or whatever to clean off dahut's hands.
best thing he can probably do for him is to... keep it together? even if he is vibrating out of his skin actually. a gentle sort of chiding, ]
...It's better not to contain these things. [ in general and on hanahaki week. ]

...Of course!
[ he helps with the zipper, carefully. it's kind of small and fiddly for him, but he's dexterous. ]
You seem... well?
no subject
Thank you very much!
[He'll turn and wait patiently for Sidon to zipper him up HIS POOR FINGERS THAT ARE NOT MEANT TO CLASP THESE TEENYASS ZIPPERS.]
I'm very well, too. Perfectly wonderful!
no subject
Amazing!
[ HE DOES NOT THINK IT'S AMAZING. he does finish zipping him into his new outfit though, patting dahut's shoulder to indicate this. given his current state, he does not... feel so bad just coming out and asking: ]
What happened?
no subject
Once his shoulder is patted, he'll turn around to face Sidon.]
Oh! Well, we went home. [HIS FUCKING ISLAND.] And we died! But it's fine, because we all came back safe and sound.
no subject
the way he can't even be surprised anymore with how many player cyoas i mean weird adventures to familiar worlds there have been. ]
...I'm glad you're all safe now. [ even if he definitely saw sheba as a ghost ] Could you explain in a bit more... detail?
no subject
He just nods with a chipper exuberance, insanely.]
Mm, I'm glad, too! It's such a wonderful thing that everyone is so strong and resilient! [YEAH!!!! Don't mind the fact that they were ghosts, it's fine, it's fine.]

[ THIS IS THE SHITTIEST SILVER LINING EVER. he tries not to be weirded out at dahut being insane and fails. ]
And this is something normal to your island? [ like, just something that happens at home? ]
no subject
Anyway Dahut's just over here existing in his chipper state of mind because everything is okay and nothing is wrong especially not with him!]
This and that might be! [WHAT DOES THAT MEAN.] Arpéchéle is a very dangerous place, but I know that it has a bright future ahead of it!
no subject
...Between you and Scien, I believe that to be true.
[ he does have hope for their terrible little island, but he also doubts that this is completely right. stop being insane. ]
But you were not on such a bright journey just now. [ on account of all of them dying. ]
no subject
Anyway he would love to stop being insane! Maybe that's in the cards.]
Mm... Well, that's true, that is true! It wasn't very bright at all. But even in the darkest times, you can always rely on your friends to pull you to a brighter place!
[His friends were killing him.]
no subject
...Dahut. Here!
[ offers him a hug. ]
no subject
What's this for, Monsieur Sidon?
no subject
he basically has to get down on a knee for this to work with how small dahut is, but that's fine. he pats his back. ]

he draws back enough to give him a startled stare, patting his back too but like, not out of fondness, like this guy is fucking choking. ]
Dahut—! What is it!?
