discomfort | gregor

I'm sure.

You could have asked me to come back if you needed me to after, you know.

I... thought about it. But I didn't want to bother you too much. Rodya and Yuri helped out, too.

Ah, thoughtful...

It is strange to get used to something, and then have it suddenly taken away.

It really is, yeah. Even if it hasn't been all that long in the scheme of things.

[...]

It's going to be... strange, going back home, and knowing we'll probably never see anyone we met here again.

Two months of close quarters and extreme emotions.

[ the quickest way to force bonding.

he leans back in the chair, watching gregor. ]

Parting is normal, even if we were not in this situation. Will you be sad?

I will.

[easy enough to admit, though he's not looking over at owner.]

There's a lot of people I'll miss. It's gonna be hard. I'm used to it, but that won't make it much easier to say goodbye.

[it will be bittersweet. yuri will go to a better life, and he'll wish her well, knowing that her getting that chance means he'll never see her enjoy it. he'll see everyone off for good, and miss them.]

Figure you probably have to go back to, yeah?

... yes. I must go back to my inn. I left during a very busy time, so I am anxious to get back.

[ this is the longest he's been away from it since he started it, after all. ]

It is a shame. I am interested to see what everyone will get up to after this.

So am I. It'd be nice to know they're all doing all right once they make it back, right?

[even if they couldn't talk or anything, he'd just like to know...]

And you'd probably like getting to see more of where everyone is from, wouldn't you.

[ he uses the blanket to cover his face because he is smiling. ]

Yes. I am extremely curious about a few things. The people here are very fascinating.

[don't COVER THAT UP why is he like this. owner.]

Aren't they?

...shame I can't check any of 'em out for myself either. I think I'd like to see those kinds of places-- the ones that make our City sound the way it does to people.

Ah! Tell me your top places you would like to go and visit.

Hmm... Diluc's home, I think. Shoma's. Yours.

If you went to mine you would definitely not like me anymore, my friend.

Yeah? What makes you so sure.

[you told him you ate an arm already]

No one likes me.

[ a pause. ]

Ignore Kaibara-sama. He is a weirdo.

[ don't insult the guy who made a tearful love confession to you before you kicked him out of your house ]

What, and you think I'd just completely change my mind?

Give the guy a break, anyway, you can't say very many of us aren't weird.

[ he will kick you out of his house too ]

It would be simpler if you did. You do nag quite often, Gregor.

Think you know it's not nagging, Owner.

[he worries about your weird ass, sue him.]

Maybe it would be simpler, but I don't think it'd happen that way.

... maybe.

[ ... ]

But like you said, we will likely not be seeing each other again once we return home. We have about a week, then.

-yeah. I guess we do.

[a couple of the next petals escape between his fingers when he covers his mouth, geode and brass this time.]

What are you gonna do with it?

... I assume you do not mean the predicament with the ship?

[ he gets up and walks over to his closet, and starts digging through it. back to gregor. ]

I don't mean about our problems there, no. C'mon, you know what I meant.

[he's just watching, in the meantime-- still lying on his back, head turned.]

[ listen. he has to ask.

he pulls out some clothes from the closet and walks over to set it on top of the desk. ]

What happened with Io-sama?

Eh? How'd-

[nope nope nope don't admit to that abort mission]

I mean, ah, what makes you think anything happened!

[ the way that he is just asking because he thinks they are a thing and is wondering if there is some sort of poly situation happening here.

but he tilts his head. ]

Did something happen?
