... It seemed she handed it over because she thought it would offer me comfort. Perhaps it did... I don't know. I suppose I have been struggling to think what I should do with it.
A dying person's gift to someone else is special. Maybe it's meant to help you somehow, Alphinaud. I'm not sure. However...
[ ... ]
There was someone that I and plenty of other people respected who died recently in my world. No, it would be more honest to say that they were killed. They were killed by something that I created.
[ enjoy this lil lore? they'll hold the cat doll closer to them. ]
However, when he died, he also left behind something valuable that allowed me to create something else that I hope will fix what I've done.
Thank you, Alphinaud. I've made peace with it now and have kept my focus on the future. People will always hurt other people, but it's what your actions that will matter in the end.
[ they'll hold the doll back towards alphinaud to take back. ]
You were brought to a place where no one could find you and you came back with a doll that seems to have no other purpose. But I don't think that's the case. I feel as though this, somehow, is the same as what he left me. She gave you this to help you.
Helpful, yes; from the perspective of a child. I have outgrown these little childlike comforts, but... Well, 'tis as you say. It would be remiss of me to toss aside the gift of a grateful little girl, even if it was naught but a memory of the past.

But he listens. ]
... I am deeply sorry to hear, Shamsiel.
[ Pity isn't what this is about, however. Alphinaud thinks for another long moment. ]
But I understand. That it is best to hold on to what was left behind, and use it for something even greater.
[ Still... it's a doll. A warm doll, but a doll nonetheless. ]

Sometimes children can have amazing insight into things. [ ...
brightly. ] Plus if all else fails, and it's been proven to be nothing but a warm doll, it would be a good gift to give to someone you fancy.

[ He flusters. ]
C- come now. I have none like that.

(izumo voice) what's that?they'll giggle and bow their head in apology. ]
I'm sorry. I couldn't resist.
no subject
Ah, secretly have a playful side in there, do you?
no subject
Not too often, but a joke once in a while is fine, isn't it?
no subject
Hah—worry yourself not, Shamsiel. A little jest betwixt friends is never unwelcome.
no subject
but they'll smile brightly at the last thing he says. ]
You think of us as friends?
no subject
Would you not say so? In our short time here, I have rather enjoyed your company.
no subject
Oh, no, I'm just... It makes me happy. Your sister said something similar to me as well.
no subject
[ wow, soft... ]
She can act prickly at times, but she has a big heart. Perhaps I shouldn't find it a surprise the two of you oft speak.
no subject
I wouldn't say often. We've only spoken a few times, but I suppose that was enough for her.
no subject
Or maybe she's only prickly around me...
no subject
Is there something wrong, Alphinuad?
no subject
Ahem. I simply hope the two of you can continue being friends, but I wish the same of us, too.
no subject
I hope that as well. May we grow to be better friends in the days to come as well.
