pre- may event. (cw: voluntary amputation talk)

[salaryman]

If in the future, I may have to lose a limb ... might I get someone's permission in that is actually okay?

[ Does this give context? I don't think so. ]

[ Darn, that is his kryptonite. ]

... I suppose I'll have to avoid it, then.

[hallowedly]

I'm relieved.


( ♥ )

[salaryman]

I'm touched that I concerned you that much.

[hallowedly]

Aren't you my beloved coworker?

[salaryman]

Seishirou --

[ ;A;

He gets it, though. It's troublesome and added work otherwise. Something he wouldn't like, either.

But at least he can send sparkling, touched feelings that his companion will know are just fireworks (just for show). ]

[hallowedly]

...Kigai?

[salaryman]

[ A reach out through the Murmur to grip onto Seishirou's shoulder.

The vast emptiness of emotions but also swirling unease, less through what the Murmur offers and more through their Tether. ]

... I'm really well-loved.

[hallowedly]

( A cosmic Murmur nudge in kind to signal receipt of the previous collegial transmission.

And amusement. So much amusement. )

It's terrible, isn't it?

[salaryman]

[ ... help. ]

No, I'm so happy.

[hallowedly]

( Is... that so. )

Well, you know what they say. There's no person on this world who can't be loved.

[salaryman]

[ Huh. ]

Who said that?

[hallowedly]

A young lady chief Sumeragi would never have wanted you introduced to.

[salaryman]

That's mean of him!

[hallowedly]

In fact, I couldn't bear for her to fall in the gravity pull of such a playboy, either.

[salaryman]

I guess I'll have to give up, then.

[ Back to being a quitter when it suits him! ]

[hallowedly]

But her words are free.

[salaryman]

Do you have any more?

[hallowedly]

Quite a few on choosing your best lipstick shade.

[salaryman]

Do you think lipstick suits me?

At least when it doesn't come from someone much prettier than me?

[hallowedly]

I.

( What is this........... )

Shouldn't be advising on this.

[salaryman]

[ Ha-ha-ha! ]

I guess not!

But I do appreciate for sharing a few of that lovely lady's words with me.

I guess this is as close I would get to meet her, hm?

[hallowedly]

I'm afraid she's no longer with us.

[salaryman]

That is too bad.

But she at least had that one lovely sentiment you hold onto, Seishirou.

[hallowedly]

And now, you too. Isn't that something? To know you're beloved.

🎀

[salaryman]

[ Meh. ]
