[ just chilling in the showers again... no this time they can meet at the obs deck. he's just looking out into space (literal), his vibes a touch muted in thoughtfulness.
the overall feeling that lingers into the room is... sad? not oppressively, but sad. ]
[ i thought u were forreal and nearly lost it NO MORE WATER CR ACTUALLY THANKS!
diluc is someone who internalizes their feeling like a pressure cooker. THEY'RE COOKIN! but he keeps a tight rein, and remains outwardly composed. he can share in the melancholy, at least. ]
...I never imagined, when we first woke, that things would become so dire.
[ sidon looks over, and he isn't exactly closed off—there is a spark of welcome, gratitude for the company, but also grief. the everyday grief of losing three people in one breathe.
but it doesn't still doesn't pick up out of control, and he still nods. ]
Yes... I had hopes it would be simpler than this. [ he still does. ] But it has been strange from the start. Perhaps I was only ignoring the signs.
[ the quiet fury threaded into diluc's emotions subsides when he's greeted with sidon's kindness, but it remains there, simmering. he does his best not to let it bleed over too much—he does not think it appropriate for sidon to have to suffer his worse temperaments. ]
...We had reason to be wary, but this is...
[ flashes of the violence they've witnessed rise, unbidden. he quells them as quickly as he can. ]
...Inhumane. I wouldn't call it ignorance.
[ on the contrary, it would be far stranger to anticipate this sort of savagery, would it not? ]
[ my typos... anyway it's fine for him to feel the full gamut of feelings—anger feels like the right emotion right now. he may not be a furious man, but he knows when the occasion demands it.
nothing in him invites repression. his sharklike sharpness enters his eyes. ]
It feels intentional, yes.
Whatever did this to Scien and Dahut is not resolved.
[ i didn't see any if it makes you feel better :') but also me as you, as i reread literally every tag i sent out yesterday, I CAN'T GRAMMAR OR TYPEEEEE ]
...No. And so, it will likely happen again.
[ and it could be done to anyone, by anyone. even you and i. ]
[ imagine being able to type or read or remember things!! couldn't be me ]
It's true. [ his thoughts and his words both. while sidon is an optimist, and sometimes runs full tilt at head empty, he isn't going to deny the truth that looks them in the face. what optimism really means is seeing what could go right—striving for it when all goes wrong.
it's harder on days like this, but persevere they must. ] Still, it must not be some all-powerful force, or we'd all be at each other's throats. If it is a blight, we can contain it. If it is a foe—I'm certain we vanquish it.

Mhm. The odds are against us, but we are far from powerless. No matter what, we must fight against whatever endeavors to bind us to its will.
