I don't plan on it. It was an extremely unpleasant experience.

I feel foolish for having written you a message; I didn't expect to meet you.

Re: inner sanctum: true heart

[rebells]

Well, I am a bit out of the way.

Re: inner sanctum: true heart

[debossy]

So you are. There's much I did not see. That's likely for the best.

Re: inner sanctum: true heart

[rebells]

It is what it is, but you'll alway be welcome here.

Re: inner sanctum: true heart

[debossy]

--Swift--

[where to begin]

--You must reassure Azure--he does not realize his own place here. I am well aware of your feelings, moreso than I'm sure you'd prefer, but he is not.

[pauses . . . ]

I have seen what good you did, on your world.

Re: inner sanctum: true heart

[rebells]

. . . I didn't do it alone.

Re: inner sanctum: true heart

[debossy]

No, but you were a part of it. I--

[ugh, flushing, that's still a whole lot of emotion that I can't really understand until I get back more memories]

Re: inner sanctum: true heart

[rebells]

I'm just pointing it out.

[quietly]

. . . and Azure never realizes his own place.

Re: inner sanctum: true heart

[debossy]

It seems he does not.

I suppose I didn't either, not until we spoke in that game.

Re: inner sanctum: true heart

[rebells]

[smiling, a faint little upquirk of the lips]

Swift is awful at being honest. That's part of the problem.

Re: inner sanctum: true heart

[debossy]

Ha! Yet you go on about the strength of that way of behaving. It's not as easy as it seems, is it? To be open with one's weaknesses and one's fears.

But I--I swear to you that come what may, I will not let harm come to you, Swift--inasmuch as I can prevent it. I will do whatever is necessary to preserve that music . . .

Re: inner sanctum: true heart

[rebells]

Thank you. I'll trust in that.

[THIS IS SAID VERY SERIOUSLY]

Re: inner sanctum: true heart

[debossy]

I will not fail!

Re: inner sanctum: true heart

[rebells]

I know. I have faith in you.

Re: inner sanctum: true heart

[debossy]

. . . As I have in you.

[I am never speaking of feelings again, omg.]

Re: inner sanctum: true heart

[rebells]

[meanwhile, I am happily filling Swift's feelingstalking quota for the next IC year.]

Thank you, Shirogane.

Re: inner sanctum: true heart

[debossy]

--Is there anything else--?

Re: inner sanctum: true heart

[rebells]

I don't need anything, if that's what you're asking. Just remember you can come to me if you need anything, all right?

Re: inner sanctum: true heart

[debossy]

--I will try.

Re: inner sanctum: true heart

[rebells]

That's all I can ask, really.
