[Also a little tipsy. And well. Not outwardly devastated! So that's probably like healthy and stuff. He'll happily pat her on the hand as they sort of drunkenly wander the halls.]
Mm, think I've hit my limit on drinking today. Maybe going to the simulation room and summoning up something that will make me sad? Oh-! Trying random things on the machine in the kitchen. There's the so fabled opium as well.
[He sniffs. Not in like, a cry way, just in that way where you're having trouble phrasing something. Head not empty, just full of incommunicable thoughts, maybe.]
Just wanted a little more time with some people, is all. And I'm sure-- We'll fix it, I'm not going to give in and just curl up and die. Just not used to regretting things.

[Also a little tipsy. And well. Not outwardly devastated! So that's probably like healthy and stuff. He'll happily pat her on the hand as they sort of drunkenly wander the halls.]
Just, uh, keeping moving is all.
no subject
Ya want me to pick ya up and rock ya to sleep like a baby?
[ (She's not being serious.) ]
no subject
Don't you already have a child at home now?
no subject
I need someone... to fill the gap!
[ Pats his head. That's you Molly. ]
no subject
I've never experienced the love of a mother, so I'm thrilled to be trying it now.
no subject
Gently rocks him. ]
There, there. I'm here for ya.
no subject
Strangely, this really is comforting! I feel as if no harm could come to me while in your care.
no subject
Ya bet—I'm a tough mom. Should I give ya a bath before I tuck ya in?
no subject
I've bathed myself perfectly well, I'll have you know. And I'm not exactly heading for my bed yet either.
no subject
Then what're ya plannin' on doin'?
no subject
Mm, think I've hit my limit on drinking today. Maybe going to the simulation room and summoning up something that will make me sad? Oh-! Trying random things on the machine in the kitchen. There's the so fabled opium as well.
no subject
I'll take ya to the opium den! [ And so they go... ] Have ya ever tried it before?
no subject
[Just being carried like a baby. Accepting this?]
I'll try anything once. Never know if you like something until you try it.
no subject
Yer a go getter, huh? I guess yer the type to live without regrets.
no subject
[And then he falters just a little? Only because, well, being cradled like a little baby will do that. Sometimes Feelings just Bubble up.]
. . . Some regrets. Not about the drugs though.
no subject
His response surprises her though, and when she replies it's not her usual prying tone, it's a little more gentle. ]
... Yeah. Is it about Beau...?

[ She frowns, kind of like she's this close to asking to speak to the manager of life. ]
But ya wouldn't be here if ya didn't have determination. We'll all get back to our friends.
no subject
[Please speak to the manager of life for us, Yuel? We don't deserve you.]
You've got friends waiting for you?
no subject
[ they're finally getting to the opium den now, she's going to place him on the couch before collapsing ]
They're a really tough bunch though. So I ain't worried about 'em.

frenchmarquesian girl.]A ship? Ocean and everything? You are a fascinating one, aren't you?
no subject
No, there wasn't an ocean. All the islands where I come from float in the sky, so our ship kinda... flew?
What about you? Ya didn't spend all yer time at the carnival, didja?
