If they hadn't locked us in here I wouldn't have to. a
[ i'd already be dragging diluc's ass from wherever the fuck it is and stapling you two somewhere safe. not that it matters. anyways. kaeya will just... eventually return and flop downwards to sit beside him. frowning. the bandages are just being tossed back and forth between his hands in his lap.
the ear ruffle is nice. but. yeah. anyways, here's soft shoulder to shoulder. ]
[ ratshakes nina. yuri just watches kaeya’s agitated movements for a bit, before leaning properly on him — the healing he got from alphinaud has healed the angry chemical burns down to more of a discolouration, but the skin still feels sensitive in parts, like new skin being exposed to the air for the first time. ]
It wasn’t exactly intentional. You know the drill.
[ none of them had expected the molequistion all those weeks ago. ]
You're right, I'll go find a statue of that misbegotten God to yell at.
[ he doesn't mean it, carefully pulling yuri closer and taking one of his hands to look it over quietly. his touch is gentle, and for once he's remorseful that his vision is still dead, incapable of at least offing something cool against his skin. still, better his than diluc's. diluc who is gone, diluc who is missing he corrects mentally, brow drawn.
gathering now, with polaris demanding to be one great blanket, his head pressed softly to yuri's stomach and heaving a great huff.
careful, his fingers wind into his. ]
Thank you... for returning to us. [ like he needs to thank him, but some part of him, weak and small, wants to make sure he knows. ]
Get in line, there’s a lot of us waiting for that chance.
[ he sounds amused by the idea at least. he lets kaeya take his hand without complaint, and look over the healed over cuts and somewhat faded burns on the skin. letting him worry is probably a better thing to do, all things considered — fretting might at least keep him occupied?
yuri’s free hand lifts to ruffle the top of polaris’ head, where he’s now being well and truly blanketed by the daemon. not to be one to miss out, pravda shrinks herself down into her smallest form and unashamedly dumps herself in kaeya’s lap, curling up into a little ball of fur with her face pressed into his stomach. ]
Mm. I didn’t have the choice of not coming back, did I? [ he squeezes their hands lightly. ]
No, I'm cutting in line. I'm quite done with this. As I'm sure the rest of you are, but.
[ pravda's warm, small in his lap and he uses his other hand to softly stroke along the length of her spine with the backs of his knuckles idly. at the squeeze, he just pulls yuri in closer, lets his lips press to the top of his forehead. gathering yuri is just easier, gives him this false sense that he'll still be there in the morning. because sheba wasn't. ]
I'd have gone to fetch you myself... [ softer ] I won't let anything keep me from you both. I won't.
[ … mm. yuri’s free hand moves to focus on gently stroking polaris’ ears, rhythmic and soothing. it keeps his mind off things too. who might go missing, who they may lose, who is currently unaccounted for. all of it. it’d been enough going through what he, Rin and Monika had just experienced, but coming back to this? it leaves him unsettled.
he just rests his head on kaeya’s shoulder. ]
You’d better not go anywhere either. None of this us an excuse to try and one-up us. [ they need to both be here to deal with whatever state diluc comes back in tomorrow, right? ]
If I plan on going anywhere of my own volition, you two will be the first to know.
[ ah the head is nice on his shoulder. he just. wants to stay here. for a little while. even if he also wants to pace the door some more. he's going to just ignore it for the sake of curling his arm around yuri's waist and keeping it firmly there to let him lay where he wants to. ]
And there lies the issue: so much of thisn't voluntary.
[ well. he's trapped now. between kaeya's arm and polaris just sprawled on his lap like this. it's fine though. he doesn't want to sleep until he's forced to, but for the moment? this is comforting and calming. ]
