Well, one good thing about this week is that Yasusada's learned A Respectful Distance. So even though Vin's emotions are probably too strong to avoid, he can stop far enough away that she doesn't get hit by his own depression too.]
[she gives him a nod of acknowledgement, and while no greetings really feel appropriate for this situation... she does say, awkwardly, after a moment:]
[in most situations, she would be embarrassed by the immediacy of that response regardless of how true it is, but - the last thing she wants is to be alone.]
I don't see the point in making such things clear to others.
[she's a private enough person that she would have preferred it not to come out - but of course, if they didn't discuss it at that moment, they never would have had a chance. she doesn't regret it, but it feels strange knowing everyone saw something that felt so intimate.]
There are some swords like that, too. [Yasusada knows that, even if he doesn't understand it; he and Kashuu have always been pretty open about being close, even with their dumb tsun arguments sometimes.]
There was a room with a stage, and it showed us horrible illusions. He escaped, and got the rest of us out of there. I don't think we would've made it out without him.

her vibes seem very numb, and it doesn't seem she's noticed she has company just yet.]

Vin?

Hello.
no subject
Sorry... I should've brought you something.
[A cup of tea, or something to eat, or a blanket... anything, really.]
no subject
You didn't need to.
no subject
...I'm sorry.
[It feels like such a pitiful thing to say, but not saying it would feel worse.]
no subject
You don't have anything to apologize for.
no subject
Even so...
[The sentiment holds true.]
no subject
...I appreciate it.
[and that's honest, even if her vibes are bad.]
no subject
After a moment, uncertainly:]
...Do you want to be alone?
no subject
No.

no subject
I didn't know you were close.

Just like there are different kinds of people, I imagine.

[...She probably already knows this, but.]
He saved us, when we disappeared. A few weeks ago.

Saved you?
