I think maybe I'll stay here for a while. [ Urgency, what's that? ]

[sangreine]

Why are you helping me? [ Normally she's slightly too self-conscious to ask this, but welcome to emotionlessness. ]

[tsundering]

And why not?

[ouji4board]

Cause I'm being silly!

[tsundering]

One day you will simply have to accept that I enjoy your presence for your own merits.

[ouji4board]

But like, why? You're like Five, y'know? Super smart and stuff. Knows things. I'm not smart enough to be interesting.

[tsundering]

There is no mage as powerful as I, that is true.

However, one's feats of power and prestige is not what interests me. Everyone plays a part and each part is different. And we are to celebrate when those differences work in harmony to a greater community.

[ouji4board]

That's a really pretty way to say you have no idea why you like me.

[tsundering]

[He sighs but not really in a put out way.]

You want specifics. And here I thought you wanted assurance that you don't need to be the most brilliant in your craft to be noticed. But I am up to the challenge.

You have an ease about you that others should take note of. Both Five and myself are prone to dragging ourselves down into the details of which we cannot make a difference. We layer upon layer too heavily drowning ourselves. And perhaps most importantly your happiness, your joy, the simplicity of it all is truly what we are striving for. We want to create a place where that can foster and thrive.

I like you because you love, Klaus, and love deeply. You would not have taken so closely to the Five from your star if you had not. You would not try to make amends and help your siblings either. Pure is not a word a would use but you are genuine when you look beyond the surface.

[ouji4board]

[ stares. a lot. and his voice is definitely strangled when he manages to talk: ]

I. Uh. I didn't mean-- Specifics weren't necessary.

I.

Alex.

[tsundering]

It doesn't take much to see that all of you siblings simply want to be acknowledge as people, separate for your unique abilities. A craving you could not get from the man that put a roof over your head.

But from what I've seen from you, from Five, from Luther, you are all extraordinary and not from your abilities. Your journeys have been difficult but be proud of the people that you are.

[ouji4board]

[ there's no way to respond to that without sounding like he's being difficult on purpose, or that he's fishing for compliments. it's just--really hard to accept that alex isn't being facetious even if he intellectually knows he isn't ]

Right. I. Thanks.

[tsundering]

[Oh, all you Hargreeves. He just reaches out and gives him a hug.]

[ouji4board]

[ clings to ]

[forgottenmercy]

[gives her a few minutes to rest.]

This, ah, really isn't a good place to rest for a long time...

Maybe we should, ah, keep going...

[gravitydefier]

...you are in need.

[sangreine]

That doesn't mean anything to most people.

[sangreine]

Why not? [ She's not understanding why she needs to move, this is all exhausting. ]

[gravitydefier]

Tch. I don't care what 'most people' think.

[forgottenmercy]

...you should, ah, rest in your dorm. It's, ah, necessary so that you will get better.

...and, ah, not stop existing.

[sangreine]

I'm not sick.

[ But not existing is supposed to be bad, so okay. She stands and keeps walking. ]

I don't even think I can get sick.

[sangreine]

I guess you're a good person, then.

[gravitydefier]

[kind of has no idea what to say, because he doesn't spend any time thinking he's a good person or not.

...just kind of clicks his tongue as he carries her up the stairs.]

[forgottenmercy]

Ah, perhaps not...

...but hell can, ah, have its ways...

[at_heart]

[ Considering pause. ]

I mean, I definitely didn't used to have anything against clowns. At this point, I dunno.
