[He was so excited for the world and the world really said fuck you!! But sure, he'll be agreeable. He feels guilty about sharing that thought when he knows Laurence doesn't want to look.]
We could just go to the beach or something... maybe start getting things ready for tomorrow, if there's anything you want to do when they all get back.
[ horrible that it actually does get a little laugh out of him. he'll nod and lead the way to the beach then, but as he sees kaworu touch the bandages - really wish we had more healing stuff for you. ]
...Honestly? I'm not used to this, either. Everyone I knew before all lived in the Tower with me. The only person I've ever had to miss was... [ iris, wherever that idiot went. he shakes his head. ] Anyway, I guess I just mean to say that I don't really know, either.
[Waves him off. It's alright. It will heal either way. Once at the beach, he'll slip his shoes off and walk along the edge of the shore. He seems strangely at home there, fitting per his surname.]
I hope... I hope it will make people happy. I hope I'll be happy when I see them again.
[He still doesn't know what he'll say. Or what they'll say. Or what the entity will do. I am glad that sometimes you understand me.]
It will. Writing letters doesn't really do them justice, especially when things get censored. It'll be nice to talk to them in person again. [ ... ] I think you'll be happy, too. You really liked some of them, didn't you? Like Charlie.
[ ...? we've known each other this long. why wouldn't i? ]
I'm not sure being angry will make it heal any faster.
[TEASING! But he nods.]
Writing letters just made me wish I could talk to them even more. So I could see their face and hear their voice. Charlie, Akihiko... and I want to get to know people like Hawke and Uruha better.
[It's his turn to respond to thoughts out loud. He shrugs his shoulder.]
Because I'm different and there's so many things I haven't experienced. It makes me feel less lonely when there's things that are also new to you.
Yeah, I feel the same way. I never had to write letters before... They make it sound so easy, but it's not even remotely the same. And we'll only have a week, but you can still try to get to know them better in that time.
[ it's not emotionshare anymore, but there is a brief flash of guilt on his face. has he really made kaworu feel that bad? that was never what he'd meant to do, but it seems he has a talent for it, anyway. ]
...There's a lot that I haven't seen, either, so I get it. There's been plenty of times I've felt like an idiot because I don't know something that's normal to everyone else - like cars, and fireworks. Some of those movies they all like.
[He laughs and kicks a little water at Laurence to shame him for his commitment to being mad about something so out of his control. But afterwards he's nodding in agreement.]
It was my first time writing letters as well. It was hard to know what to say. But I was happy when I received them in return.
[But also tilting his head at the guilty look. What's wrong? ]
Yes. Sometimes I feel like I'm a step behind everyone because I haven't done common things and there are things I don't understand because of how I was raised. But when you haven't either, I don't worry about it.
[ mock offense at most. a little water won't hurt. ]
It's kind of like having proof that someone cares, isn't it? Not that we need it, but... it's kind of nice to know someone missed you if you don't have a choice but to be apart, I guess.
[ they don't always have the option of knowing those things. he just shakes his head though, offering no explanation at the moment. ]
At least most of the people here are patient if we have to ask questions. And it is nice not being the only one in the dark, sometimes.

the thought makes him wince. he doesn't blame kaworu for wanting to put his mind to other things. ]
I get it. We can probably find something else to distract you, if you want. Hopefully something that won't set off your allergies.

[He knows you're teasing! He can tease you too!
He runs his fingers over the bandages on his arm, thinking]
The beach, perhaps... I've never had anyone to look forward to seeing again before. I don't know what it will be like or what to do to prepare.
