[enelmord]

I didn't say that. I just meant that you're not at your best right now.

[barkonthetree]

its fine if i had anything to worry about id be in a cave or something

dont make a fuss for nothing

[enelmord]

All right.

If you change your mind, I've got a bed open.

[Wait. He really ought to clarify.]

Ramir has gone. So I've got a spare room now.

[barkonthetree]

the woman who lived with you ?

weher did she go?

[enelmord]

Back to where she was before this I suppose.

When I hadn’t seen her all day, I sent a message but it didn’t work for some reason. So when I heard about how people had been abducted, I thought that must be what happened. She wasn’t there though.

The Moon Knights said this can happen. A person just goes back.

[barkonthetree]

thats it

?

She is just gone

[The woman had seemed nice. Crude as hell, but generous enough to buy a starving stray a meal. He'd gotten caught up in how to conceal his hanyou form from her if she ever met him while he was with Matthias.

Wasted time, now. He should gave tried to find her again. Maybe he could have stopped whatever happened to her...]

im sorry mat

[enelmord]

None of us truly belongs here. It’s for the best that she goes back home.

[A world that he knows only through insignificant details gleaned from Ramir’s constant chattering. Why hadn’t he asked more questions, instead of letting himself get annoyed? The closest he’ll come to admitting the quiet ache inside is:]

I would have liked to know her better.

[barkonthetree]

that doesnt mean its easy for everyone left behind

you have good memories of her so keep those ones close

shes gone but she doesnt have to die

[enelmord]

Yeah. I'll remember that. She was a good person. Loud, vulgar, and undisciplined, and she never cleaned up after herself, but she has a good heart.

She probably liked Trass more than she liked me, but that just means she's not completely unreasonable.

[barkonthetree]

wasnt most of the mess from trassel shedding

[At least when he was there, it was. The part about a good heart, though. He knew that much was true. She'd bought him a meal and expected nothing back.]

its easy to like animals when theyre sucking up to you. if she lived with you she pporbably liked you well enough

you wouldnt like her or miss her so much if she didnt like you back.

[enelmord]

Trass is a wolf, he can't help it. She would leave clothes and dirty dishes and all kinds of junk lying around. The only reason you never saw that is because I always cleaned it up.

I guess I don't have to do that anymore.

[But realizing that makes him strangely sad.]

We ended up in the same apartment by accident, but it actually worked out all right. It was nice having someone around.

[He had been avoiding her lately, a little bit, stricken with awkwardness after they had...well, crossed a few lines together. If he had known he wasn't going to see her again—]

[barkonthetree]

matthias

dont dwell on this

if you want stuff to clean up so bad ill go knock shit off your tables for you

so you better suck it up

[It was, wasn't it? He never realized how lonely he was, until he found people who stayed with him. Being ripped away from them again was a searing pain that never left his gut. Maybe Matthias felt the same way. They can't have known each other long, yet this Ramir girl has touched his heart.

There's nothing he can do about it. As much as he wishes he could.]

maybe when the new people come in there'll be someone who isnt completely annoying to come stay with you

otherwise you have people here dont you evne if they dont live in the same rooms

[enelmord]

Who says I'm dwelling on anything. She's better off where she is.

Anyway, I have Trassel. I'm fine.

[He has his brother. And Inuyasha, and Konoha. And Adrasteius, perhaps, who usually has some wisdom to dispense. Quantity he lacks, but he doesn't want for quality.]

Don't come into my apartment just to make a mess. I'll lock the windows.

[barkonthetree]

you think im scared of some piddly lock

[enelmord]

[This is preferable to Inuyasha worrying about him. When Matthias is the one who's supposed to be worried about him...]

Did I mention I'm good at setting snares too?

[barkonthetree]

[je m'excuse that is factually incorrect it's the other way around]

wow im petrified

[enelmord]

[False. Who was recently caged and drugged by a bunch of unhinged cultists? Not he.]

Or maybe a leash would be more appropriate. You're not wild game.

[barkonthetree]

[THAT WAS JUST BECAUSE OF DIRTY TRICKS]

what the fuck yes i am

besides good luck doing worse than the one ive already got

[enelmord]

The one you've already got? What are you talking about?

[barkonthetree]

you think i wear this stupid rosary because it looks cool

its bewitched with holy magic i cant take it off

[enelmord]

[Oh, the necklace he had wondered about...]

But why do you have it at all? It doesn't hurt you, does it?

[If the rosary is holy, and Inuyasha is half demon, then...?]

[barkonthetree]

because i was gonna take the damn jewel for myself at first

[which is a highly abbreviated version of the story but that's not something to get into now. he's already testy, healing off these wounds.]

only when its being used

[enelmord]

[That's right, hadn't he said he once wanted the jewel for the power it could grant?]

Then it's a punishment.

[A punishment his old self earned, but his new self still endures.]

How is it used? It would have to be a priest, right?

[barkonthetree]

priestess.

its nothing its just annoying

[don't...don't make him spell it out for you...please...]

[enelmord]

Never mind. I was just trying to understand.

[It seems like a sore subject. So he switches topics.]

Just remember you're welcome here any time. I'll keep the window unlocked since you don't seem to understand doors.

[He wouldn't mind having someone else around.]
