dramatispersonae | Edmund's Heart

[ Penance just raises his hand and steps back. ]

I rarely file change request forms. I am a reminder, not a catalyst.

*nods to him*

All right. Then I'll do that before time runs out on this visit . . .

*turns to True Heart, finally; assuming threesomes and all have been worked out by now*

[ True Heart's pulled away after awhile to enjoy the work he's incurred, namely Josh and Ven cuddling and Night getting toppled by siblingfeels. He's pretty damn pleased. ]

What do you think?

I think you're kind of cute.

Aww, you're too kind.

[ Insert Mithos headlock and noogies here, but not tight enough that Mithos couldn't wriggle free if he wanted to. ]

*bears with it for a bit, actually, startled into real laughter*

[ TH grins, pretty damn pleased with this too. ]

That was a long run of emotions you ended up with. Are you all right?

A bit shaky, and still sorry for making that mistake, but I feel better about some stuff too, actually.

Hey, mistakes happen. Besides, when someone looks an awful lot like her...

[ He nods towards where the other siblings and Caspian are piled on Night, more specifically Susan. ]

No one can be blamed. But I'm glad you feel better.

Thanks for that.

Your family, huh?

My siblings.

[ There are ridiculous piles of sibling dere in that statement. Then he grins. ]

And Caspian as well, who almost counts.

Nothin' wrong with adopted family.

*it sounds casual but his tone's very warm; breathes out, leaning on him a bit*

Can I give you the last thing from Dream, Ed? Or is there a particular place you want it? Seems to me like True Heart'd know best what to do with the extra strength.

[ He leans back, humming as he thought about it. ]

Well, if you give it to me, I won't need to add much security between myself and up there. On the other hand, there is that mandate that never managed to get any proposals...

Ehhh?

It came from the top. Be more open about the negative things. It has everyone else befuddled, it's hilarious.

Well, there's nothing wrong with that, if you're --

*s-snrk, catching himself*

-- sensible about it?

I happen to think Sensible is a perfectly good name. Can you imagine introducing yourself like that? "I'm Sensible," he would say.

You could maybe give it to him.

Oh no, it's hard to pick again.

Whatever will you do?

[ Because TH sure isn't helpful. ]

*tugs True Heart's hair gently, thinking*

. . . I want to put it where it'll best balance out making Guilt stronger. I bet talking about negative stuff'll help you with that, but that's more of a decision for you to make in the long run. And while common sense can hold guilt down awhile -- in the end common sense comes from you, and the strength to forgive, too.

You're the center, right? It's hardest for Edmund in the end if Guilt overcomes you, if everything falls in on itself . . . so, take it.

*offers him the second seed.*

[ ... ]

[ TH smiles quietly rather than his usual grin and takes the seed. ]

I would be honored. Thank you.

[ He closes his hand around it, opening it again to reveal that the seed was gone. ]

You're welcome. I hope . . . that in the end, all of us coming in here helped you out.

[ TH curls his finger, gesturing for him to step closer. ]

*does so!*

[ TH leans in, cupping a hand to whisper. ]

To tell you the truth, you saved me at least four piles of paperwork to file.
