[ well.
he winces a little bit, at least, and turns his head away - guilty really. ashamed. ]
... I'm sorry. [ that he had to see that, really. that he gave up. if bixing gets too close to it, he remembers too much, remembers that dead eyed stare. remembers lavi, his sympathetic smile. his stomach twists. ] I...
[ i don't think i could take it. i'm not strong enough.
he shifts a little, reaching up to rub a hand carefully over his face. ]

[ sweet, very broken lbx. date is chilling in the resort sitting room. HOPEFULLY BIXING IS ALSO CHILLING AND NOT MOVING AROUND. ]
We had such a good track record with two bodies last time.
[ sarcasm. ]

[ who's to say
anyway he's here. his ribs are still yucky so its hard to talk a lot, and he occasionally stops to take in a slow, wheezy breath, but. bixing is not stopped by injury!!! he is, however, sitting. or laying down. ]
...mmm. Well... last week, we moved at a good pace and... still failed. [ considering. ] But...maybe we can combine the faster pace and do better, tomorrow.
[ ... ]
Are you okay?

I think maybe you need to focus on healing and not... anything that's going on other than that? That sounds like a good plan.
[ hm? ]
I'm fine. Why?
[ hm? ]
I'm fine. Why?
If I have to do much more laying down and doing nothing, then, I think I might explode.
[ he will also make it everyone else's problem. but.
the second part... bixing frowns a little, and says, a little more gently: ] ... We don't have to talk about it, but... you two were getting along pretty well, right? There aren't... all that many of us adults here, either.

Laying down and thinking, then? Maybe.
[ he's going to be the worst patient, isn't he? ]
... Honestly? I'm surprised someone didn't get pissed off and go after him earlier. [ stares into the abyss. ]

[ he looks very tired ]
Bixing, I’ve seen kinda first hand what Jingheng means to you. [ flashbacks to bixing just yeeting himself off a cliff ] Please tell me you’re not trying to draw a parallel here.

[ HELP HE LOOKS EMBARRASSED IMMEDIATELY AND PUTS HIS HANDS UP ]
No! No, no, sorry, no, I'm not - that's not what I meant. Ow.
[ ow too much flailing. ] Sorry. No, I just - well, it's okay to feel weird about it, that's all. Not implying... anything! Ow.

[ jesus ]
Stop flailing!! Your ribs are fucked! [ aaaaaaa ]
-- [ stress ]-- There's nothing to imply. And, I'm serious. Given how far he usually went to get a rise out of people, I'm surprised no one lashed out at him earlier.

[ HE'S SHATTERED LITERALLY. ]
I get it. And... [ eh. ] Thanks. I'm not about to collapse into a heap or anything, so don't worry about that. Just tired of this still happening when it doesn't have to.

[ runs at you before you can tell me it's a preorder. ]
Well.
That was terrible.
Well.
That was terrible.
[ blegh. he had better be sitting down.
also spins sisi fastly. ]
Weird how nine hours doesn't feel enough and then literally all of that happens.

[ is he? no he's sitting. he's just kind of laying down in the ice bar, probably where it's nice and cold for his poor ribs. ]
...yeah. [ a pause. ] That item of yours really came in... I don't know about handy, but... I guess I'm glad that worked.
[ it doesn't feel good to say it. ]
... I'm more glad than anything that it's all finally over.

I sort of had to use it today. When else was seeing someone else's recent memories going to come in handy?
[ it didn't feel great though. ]
Well, we still have a party to survive.
[ it didn't feel great though. ]
Well, we still have a party to survive.
...True. But, I could go the rest of my life without another kangaroo court. Or measuring each other's feet.
[ trials... are terrible. god.
bixing's quiet for a moment after that, though, looking up at the ceiling overhead. ]
The item I got was either horrible, or useful. I haven't decided if I'm going to use it or not, yet.

I'm pretty sure the courts here would give the government back home hives.

... Do you want to talk about what it does and get a second opinion from a different perspective?

I created our judicial sector. They give me hives.
[ he mutters.
but, anyway. for the item. ]
The horrible side lets you control someone else's body if you make them drink it. I have no intention of using it that way. [ he tilts his head side to side, for a moment, eye closing. ] ...The better is that it acts as a more powerful healing item, if someone drinks it, if that's what you want it to be.

That's the correct response to red fucking tape.

It's reliant on your desires, not luck?
