Enjoy it while it lasts, huh?

[dormition]

[God, yes. Minato is fervently, actively grateful for every moment he has here; the trepidation in his soul at returning to Erebus is profound, a murky dark water lying in wait. Patient because that dread can never be erased. It's his fate to return.

That's not at all a fate Hiro needs to burden for him, even in part. Minato reaches out and ruffles his hair lightly. In a gentle tone,] I am. Thank you for that.

[microbrobotics]

[ He only makes a small face at that. ]

'course. We're friends, right?

[dormition]

[But if he's annoyed he's not sad and dwelling on death, right? Right.]

Exactly. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my music.

[microbrobotics]

Ha. Yeah. Come back in a few days and it'll be all fixed up.

[ Also, you climbed to Lvl 2 social rank! ]

[dormition]

[Wow, CR that keeps track of their own social links! Sweet.]

Sure. [Pause.] Will you be okay...? I didn't mean to bring up all of that.

[microbrobotics]

It's fine. Kinda nice to talk about it, actually.

[dormition]

[Well now that you've said that, Minato will be periodically (and kindly) checking in on the subject.

Not that he shares the sentiment about it being nice to talk about things, but it's one most other people seem to share.] We can talk about it whenever you want, [he says honestly. Even including Minato's death. If there's one way to get Minato to open up, it's to make it clear it's for someone else's benefit, not his own.]

[microbrobotics]

... I'll let you know then.

[ It's nice to know he has someone. ]

[dormition]

Good. And thank you again for helping me out. It's kind of you.

[Since this is Minato, that's not a pleasantry; it's a 100% serious compliment.]
