[HUGS BACK... YOU ARE SMALL]

But the same is to be said for you and the others. What little I've suffered is a drop in the ocean compared to your own burdens. It simply pains me that I'm... unable to do anything for you.

[rainshaveceased]

There is one thing you can do for us, though it will likely not be easy.

[weenwoon]

... of course. What is it?

[He's ready to drink that Zodiark juice!!!]

[rainshaveceased]

Believe. You need not understand our methods or agree with them, but believe that all we do is for the sake of our people. Believe that by Lord Zodiark's grace, we will be saved.

[weenwoon]

[He's quiet at first, because much as Elidibus says it's not a simple request.

Levity closes his eyes, trying to find the answer. After all this time in Imeeji, witnessing the cruelty of games and the mortal worlds... the well of desperation does run deep. Wouldn't it be nice to believe in a higher power? To know that you are protected, that there is something out there, looking out for you, that it's going to be all right?

Deep down, he wants to believe. Perhaps not directly in Zodiark - his feelings on the matter are complicated, - but in the salvation of his people, in the return home, in kindness and peace and harmony being in the nature of the universe.

He breathes out quietly, holding Elidibus a little tighter.]

... I will. As much as I can, I will.

[rainshaveceased]

You need not force yourself should you find you cannot. But... if you can have even a little hope in us - in me - it will be a great help.

[weenwoon]

[CUTE... (he doesn't know Elidibus is Zodiark)]

I do believe in you. In all of you. But it feels like such an insignificant thing, doesn't it?

[rainshaveceased]

It is anything but. And I should know.

[weenwoon]

[Cute......... Hug time]

Thank you, Elidibus.

[rainshaveceased]

[so many lorge hugs...]

There is no need for thanks.

[weenwoon]

[Shhh. Only hugs now.]

There is. Your support helps me feel better, so why wouldn't I thank you?

[rainshaveceased]

Well. If you insist.

[weenwoon]

I do.

[...]

I'm glad you're here, Elidibus.

[rainshaveceased]

I am glad you're here as well, Hythlodaeus.

[weenwoon]

I can be a bridge between you and the other two. When your mutual awkwardness gets too much.

[rainshaveceased]

[l-laughs]

Are we truly that awkward...?

[the answer is yes]

[weenwoon]

Yes.

[rainshaveceased]

[well

it's not like he can deny that]

I wish you the best of luck in your efforts.

[weenwoon]

[elidibus cute...]

I shall certainly do my best. I just hope we never have cause for real arguments or misunderstandings.

[rainshaveceased]

We might, but we will get through them.

[weenwoon]

[... holds]

Elidibus... What would you do if, in the end, I came to oppose you? Would you kill me?

[rainshaveceased]

...Why are you asking me this?

[weenwoon]

[SLUMPS,,]

It was something Emet-Selch said to me. That if I stood in his way, he would not hesitate to tear me down.

[As you can imagine that sure was A Thing to hear as a mostly-amnesiac uncertain of what the fuck is going on with him and the others.]

[rainshaveceased]

That was a lie. He would most certainly hesitate, if he could bring himself to do it at all.

[weenwoon]

[.... WEH,,, don't mind him he's going to have a moment and try not to cry]
