( He thinks... he understands. It's not really him Sinclair loves, but someone else. That's why it's so painful. Is that right...?

A pause. )


Do you want me to stop talking to you?

( oh... )

Really?

( ... )

Okay. Thank you.

I feel like I'm running out of people to talk to. I feel like this has happened to me before.


( After the accident... where everyone he knew stopped talking to him... lol... But, unfortunately, he doesn't remember it concretely; only the heart beats with familiarity, as the memories' echoes carved light marks in. )

Is that what Oria's comment was? Freezing?

It read more like he was lashing out.

But it doesn't sound like you agree.

Don't be pedantic.

( But Oria is also pedantic, so he guesses that's something else they have in common. )

Is that how he wakes you up? Because... it might work for you, but it doesn't work for me. ( Wow, nuance. He learned it from Barrett. ) You're just lucky the person who knows how to talk to you isn't going anywhere.

I'll talk to him later. I don't think he wants to talk to me now.

( Sinclair can advise otherwise for sure, but based on Oria's final message... He seemed pretty steamed to Mithrun.

Honestly, though... some part of him tells him he should be doing something else for his time. It's hard to balance his needs here. They ask for equal priority, but one needs to come before the other, somehow. )


Unfair how?

Some time passes. )


I'm not blaming you for having someone.

( THIS IS REALLY HARD FOR HIM TO FORMULATE, both in phrase and in parsing his feelings to even begin to word it... So it takes him awhile to phrase it. )

I wish I could still talk to Barrett the same way as we did before.

( He's jealous Sinclair has Oria to center him and understand what he means when he tries to say something, and Mithrun had that for a bit but... well. Barrett is sure Going Somewhere ! and Oria (hopefully) (looks at Haki) is not.

But, Sinclair going off kind of tells him he's probably not going to find that type of communication or a place to confide in with anyone else. And maybe it's because of the type of relationships he's fostered with Sinclair, with other people. He didn't necessarily earn his right to have a confidante.

This, too, is a fascinating mismatched connection. )


I'll head out for a bit. See you.
