I've noticed the people from your island are very quick to blame one way or another.

You resent most of those people, don't you?

[chrysanths]

I do. People wanted to sacrifice her.

[ Hatred wells up in him so easily. ]

They're not worth for her dying over.

[florescences]

[ he hates so easily. it's not an emotion elysia feels easily or often. she lets it flutter away from her. ]

People shouldn't be sacrificed so easily. [ there is a distant ache from elysia before it's gone. ] What did they think it would do?

[chrysanths]

... Stop the curse.

[ Hatred? Rancid vibes are mixing in, making this like an amalgation of shitty emotions jam packed into a single person. ]

It doesn't, for the record.

[florescences]

[ this is fine. she's good at being fine in front of these kinds of emotions. ]

I didn't think so. She must be young, and it sounded like the curse predated her from talking to the three of you.

Fear makes people do unimaginable things.

[chrysanths]

... She was adopted by Mother after an incident broke out at another orphanage.

[ Yeah. Definitely predated. ]

It turned out she already met Yves there.

[florescences]

[ there's a sense of understanding. ]

All of your lives seemed to connected, one way or another.

[chrysanths]

[ He slowly blinks. Huh. ]

Did he... tell you?

[florescences]

[ huh? ]

Tell me what?

[chrysanths]

About Yves, and his orphanage.

[ ........ ]

If he didn't, then... forget it. I can't be the one to tell you.

[florescences]

[ her expression softens and becomes a little somber. ]

I saw the fire, if that's what you mean, and we talked about it after.

[chrysanths]

[ Oh. Adolphe looks down for a moment before looking back up. ]

... Ceres was from the orphanage Yves was in before it burned down. We didn't make the connection until Ceres saw Yves in person not too long ago. And... she blamed herself for the fire.

[florescences]

Is it because everyone thinks she's responsible for the curse on your island? That's too much blame for a young girl.

[chrysanths]

It is.

[ He crosses his arms. ]

... I wanted to protect her, but I couldn't.

[florescences]

It's difficult to fight against prejudice.

[ her smile is more sad than warm. ]

[chrysanths]

[ Adolphe is quiet at that until the baby sheep bleets. Baa... pet me, people. I don't have all day! He looks over at it and gives it a gentle pet on the head. ]

It probably doesn't like our gloomy topic.

[florescences]

[ elysia goes back to half-hugging, half-petting the sheep. ]

So you know it's gloomy.

[ she's teasing. ]

[chrysanths]

Unfortunately, I'm aware.

[ For everyone else. Does he change though? No. ]

Just came out into the world as a gloomy existence since birth.

[ His voice is so dry. ]

[florescences]

Aww, I'll always welcome your gloomy existence~ It spices things up. Don't you agree, little lamb?

[ it bleets in response even if there's no indication of tone. ]

[chrysanths]

[ Adolphe looks down at the lamb like. You betray me? You betray me like this? ]

If this is all it takes to spice things up, I'm worried about your standards for excitement.

[florescences]

[ the baby sheep only wants your pets, adolphe... its loyalty has not been bought yet.... ]

I'll happily accept your worry because it means you're thinking about me.

[ hehe ]

[chrysanths]

[ this baby is so capitalist ]

... It's hard to win against you.

[florescences]

[ it's a dog eat dog world out here, adolphe.... why does redemption have to be earned....

she flashes a peace sign. ]

Realizing that makes your life easier.

[ they can spend some more time petting sheep before they part ways before their other tuesday thread, i guess. releases you from another thread with me ]
