[ thank god. but anyway, he will take this shirt! putting it over his arm as he reaches to poke idly through one of the racks of stylish animal themed sunglasses. ]
[ ah - commiserating, in that regard. he laughs a little, watching him pick up the claw toy as he picks up a pair of sunglasses and plops them on his nose. ]
The Eighth was always too poor for stuff like this, and god knows I couldn't go out of the house to see it, even if we weren't.
No. The First is the richest, but the rest were all pretty well off. The Eighth Galaxy is just the exception.
[ sort of the dredge of the IUS's society, at least. as he adjusts the sunglasses, he looks at his expression in the mirror, and then pauses, glancing back at date. ]
[ he thinks about it for a moment, in the context of his own life. the forbidden fruit that he'd finally confirmed, and the way it changed his world view. ]
...I think I'd have to know. [ he smiles a little at that, though, rueful. ] Ignorance for me has never been bliss. But... that's just me.
[ it's a difference between them, really, but it's also - well. bixing recognizes his own curiosity as the kind that kills the cat. it's a positive trait, but it's an extremely negative one, too.
he nods, though, thoughtful. ]
Just rather wait it out, to see if they do. [ which is a totally fine and valid way to live your life. it's at this moment that he picks up a little animal hand puppet from the stuffed animal area. it's a lion, and then sticks it on his hand and mimes in a silly voice, cheerfully, like a dork - ] Super mature, Date!
[ not spoil or anything but he was about to super not have a choice in remembering just before coming here. lmao. lol. ]
…
[ he uses the hippo to chomp on the lion hand puppet. ] I’m a beacon of maturity in these trying times. [ SAYS THE MAN WHO WILL ARGUE WITH REDFILBO ABOUT BEEFUCKING IN LIKE THREE HOURS. ]
I dunno. If they don’t, it’s not like I’m unhappy or feel like I’m missing something in my life. It’s pretty full. If they do, well. Hopefully they’ll be gentle with me.

If I did, I wouldn't know about it.

[ oh very stylish, 10/10. i love that these d&g glasses are being used for cheap gift store visuals, it's what they deserve. ]
Money wasn't the issue, exactly. For me. I just straight up don't remember.

...At all?
no subject
[ sweet eighth... but he nods. ]
At all.
no subject
[ not for his eighth anyway. but. what date says a little more concerning, so. ]
...Is that related to that thing, the one I saw in your memories? Has anyone ever...
no subject
for a brief moment, he looks kind of amused. ]
I wouldn't know, would I?

[ ... ]
...Do you want to? Know, I mean.

Might be something terrible and traumatic happened to me, and forgetting was a blessing in diguise.

no subject
[ does he want to just… find something out and shake the foundations of his life, when he has things to focus on and a kid to take care of? ]
But… memories can come back on their own. Maybe I don’t have much of a choice.
