week 5 friday

[nightchild]

[as soon as he spots Vin he'll hold up his arm to wave at her,

he's just coming back from the cemetery, and his clothes are covered in dirt]

Vin-chan.

[allomantic]

[there are little flames moving over her arms and shoulders as she seems him, but she blinks.]

What happened to your clothing?

[nightchild]

[he looks down,]

...There was... an earthquake? At the cemetery. Prompto and I almost fell into one of the graves.

[he rubs his hand against the dirt as if that will somehow make it clean]

...That's all we found there.

[allomantic]

...I see. Some kind of ability, then, I'm guessing. You are unharmed?

[nightchild]

[he nods]

Yeah, I'm... [fine, he thinks, but that would be a lie. and he doesn't want to lie to Vin, of all people.] Unharmed.

We'll find something more during trial tomorrow, right? That's how it always works.

[allomantic]

[she nods.]

We haven't gotten it wrong yet.

[they don't always find everyone they need to, but. it's fine. maybe.]

[nightchild]

[That's true... His shoulders rise a little at that, as if taking in hope.]

You're right. We always find some version of the truth.

[even if it guts them later in so many ways]

...How's Ruby? I heard she found Crow.

[allomantic]

Mm... I imagine she is glad she found a living person, but - yesterday was difficult for her, too.

[frowning, worried.]

[nightchild]

...I heard a little about it, though I don't know all the details.

[he sighs]

I'm glad she has you -- and that she still has Crow.

[allomantic]

They are about as unpleasant as the details from previous excursions like this.

[she nods to the rest, though.]

[nightchild]

...If it happens again next week -- which I'm pretty sure it will...

[...]

I hope you're spared from it.

[allomantic]

[she shakes her head.]

...I would rather it be me than someone like Kumon or Kazunari.

[nightchild]

[genuinely hope that we're all on a cyoa next week]

I feel like they'd say the same thing if I asked them...

[allomantic]

[she blinks.]

Why? I'm much better prepared for that kind of thing than them.

[be nice]

[nightchild]

It's only natural to want to protect the people you care about -- even if they're so much stronger than you.

[his expression is fond]

That's how I feel with Buzen -- even though he could pick me up with one hand.

[allomantic]

...I suppose so.

[once again, vin speak for "you're right but i'm awkward about it".]

Well, it is not as though we have control over it either way.
