florescences | adolphe catchall

[ ......... ]

meadow

[ Adolphe will actually be there and seems to be gathering some flowers to make a bouquet. ]

[ she is always a herrscher, but she is in her herrscher form instead of miss pink elf when flies into the meadow.

there's concern and worry and some other feelings mixed up in here. it's cute that he's collecting flowers for a bouquet, though. ]

What do you mean you don't plan to be brought back to life?

[ hi to you too, miss herrscher. Adolphe isn't surprised when she asks him this. This should have been what he expected after he typed that message. ]

If it undos the event that ended my life, then I don't want to be brought back to life.

[ The emotionshare is RESOLUTE vibes. ]

[ she considers this, especially in the face of his emotions. she nods after a second. ]

Can I ask what happened? I want to understand.

[ Every time he answers this question, he feels like it doesn't get easier. ]

I died so that Yves could continue saving my sister with Lucas.

[ Seeing them in heaven gave him Emotions. ]

[ she's weak to people who want to save their sisters. her expression softens. ]

It must have been a shock to see them here. What does that mean, though? How could going back change that?

[ there's curiosity and mild confusion, wondering, a sense of thoughtfulness. ]

[ help not the sister knight archetype ]

It... They're from a different set of events, from what I can tell.

[ This is probably why adoyves doesn't feel as weird after— ]

I entrusted my sister to Yves before I died. If I didn't give him a chance to make it through without my death, he would have died too. I wouldn't ever want to undo that.

[ sometimes, one of your friends dies and isn't able to save her sister and it leaves an impact, ok.

this isn't something she thinks he'd lie about, and even if it's a vague description, she can understand enough. ]

You wanted to save them both. [ ... ] Are you satisfied with that, Adolphe? No regrets?

[ it'd be hypocritical of her to not understand self-sacrifice, but that doesn't mean she can't find the tragedy in it for other people. ]

I don't have regrets in doing what I did.

[ Adolphe sounds resolute.

You'd think a meadow wouldn't have a reflective surface, but a memory plays out on one nearby as if to act as a supplementary information. ]

[ how many times does adolphe have to die in front of yves

the sheer amount of bloodshed doesn't make elysia flinch. she's used to that and has seen worse. it's the conversation at the end that moves her because how can't she respond to any sort of heartfelt emotion?

she doesn't think being brought back to life would undo this, but she thinks there's more to it than that. ]

.... You wanted him to make her happy, and I don't doubt your resolve or your wish. [ softly: ] I understand it.

But what I don't understand is why you think you'd have to stay dead for that to happen. Do you think you couldn't... or shouldn't be around in order for their happiness to bloom?

[ there could be a lot of missing context. a memory is only a snapshot in a whole storybook. ]

[ laughs with my salad ]

I also don't...

[ I'm actually going to reveal this in the most recent thread, so he stays silent. ]

[ ... ]

We can revisit it. [ they have a few weeks left. ] But I think you're deserving of life, as much as anyone else.

Sometimes, more.

[ Adolphe raises an eyebrow. ]

Favoritism from you?

[ there's a trickle of amusement. ]

Why the skepticism?

I haven't exactly earned it.

[ But he also can't comprehend it. ]

[ there's a flicker of surprise, followed by faint amusement and even fainter exasperation. ]

How do you know that?

I didn't do anything that warrants it.

[ He'll stay firm on this. ]

You also haven't answered my question.

You did.

[ she's also firm on that. ]

Which question?

... I did?

[ He sounds genuinely surprised. Wow. ]

The one over the phone. About Yves making you tired.

You said you care about me.

[ that's only one of the things he did, but she thinks she'd spook him if she started with too many. ]

Oh. [ she smiles. ] I'll tell you, if you go on a date with me~

[ Yeah, he would absolutely be spooked and probably run off into the depths of the meadow.

But in the meantime, Adolphe blinks slowly while staring at Elysia the whole time. ]

What.

[ she laughs. ]

You heard me. ♪

Like... an outing, right?

[ Date?? Romantic date???? Huh???????????

Adolphe is so shocked that he's still trying to process this. With the prettiest girl in the cast??? ]

[ he is so funny. this is such a normal reaction for someone with such apathy and misanthropy. ]

It can be whatever you'd like, as long as you spend time with me.

[ You know Adolphe... he's the epitome of normalcy.

(/s /s /s /s /s /s /s /s /s /s /s no he's just virche-levels of insane with depression deep inside) ]

... Don't we already do a lot of that?

[ Suddenly it seems less daunting. ]
