[ the sudden touch startles him. he'd kind of expected chrono to just leave, and now he doesn't know what to do. ]

Why is that the thing you're so confident about...

[clockpunk]

S'how it is.

[ get mad, do something stupid, make something worse. he doesn't want this to be any worse, especially. especially not for laurence, today.

he'll lift his head after a moment of quiet. ]

I really do need to see Jiaoqiu. There's some stuff he said... [ bristles. ] ...yeah. It won't be long.

[outdistanced]

I don't know what you mean.

[ sighs. he's frustrated and a little confused, but tired, and doesn't want to argue. it already feels like so much has fallen apart in the last nine hours or so. ]

I said I'm not stopping you.

[ if he wants to go, he can go. laurence is easy enough to find, anyway. ]

[clockpunk]

[ ...sighs as well. god all of this sucks so fucking bad. he should have gone first. ]

I'll talk about it, but not today.

[ this ain't about him

another pause. there's a tug of really, very much not wanting to go. ]

...it does matter, that you care. It's-- thanks. I'll see you later, okay?

[ it is kind of about him!! laurence just makes a noncommittal sound, agreeing. they can talk later, maybe. if they're up to it then.

there is a little thread of concern, but. friends have left after saying less. ]

Yeah. See you later.
