[ that's fine. elysia will sit next to him for a while and wait for him to lift his head.

she may be chatty, but she's been around long enough to know how to wait patiently. ]

[ Well, he definitely ain't chatty but he doesn't dislike Elysia remotely enough to just keep ignoring her. He generally doesn't ignore anyone, actually. He raises his head eventually and looks at her.

How is she doing, still (comparatively?) well? ]

[ she figured he'd acknowledge her eventually because she thinks he's kind even if he's reticent.

she smiles at him in greeting. she's fine, as usual. there may be a sad tinge to her smile, but that's not that surprising, considering how this trial ended. ]

Doing okay, Marcoh?

I think it is about what you may guess.

[ He is doing okay. Much better than some. But it definitely doesn't mean that he's happy in the slightest. ]

Will you go speak to her?

Yeah.

[ she can't imagine anyone being happy right now. ]

Whether she's within or out of her mind, I want to listen to her. There must be something to understand about her.

I will try also, but how much she is willing to say is...

The last two were not forthcoming.

I know. I wasn't able to get much either, but I'd regret not trying more than trying and getting nothing. I don't think it's futile.

[ He just. Nods quietly. I'm sorry he's not talkative I've sent so many silent tags this game. ]

[ lowe, your silent boy. it's okay, elysia can be chatty enough for the both of them. ]

Even if we can't, some of the others might. Like Taair or Jiaoqiu. [ even if it's going to hurt them while they're at it. ]

I know they will. I would not stop them from trying to get what answers they could.

[ He does know it's just going to hurt them though. ]

...You know how others see your presence, Elysia?
