[continued from here! <3]

[He starts talking before she's even finished. It's like something that has been weighing heavy on his mind just starts spilling out like blood from a wound.]

Thanks for looking for me. You know Aria, for the past ten years, you're the only person I've actually been willing to share myself with. I don't know if it was because...I just--Only talking online, but...When you moved here, it got kind of scary. Let me just establish the fact that you're an important person in my life, and no matter how I act, I...

[His blue eyes cast downward.]

You always did have way more willpower than me. You and I...You know, we were the same, right? I felt like I was destined to meet you and stick in your life because of that. I'm so proud of you. You made so much of yourself out of such a shitty situation. You took all the negatives and created positives for yourself...And I just...Why couldn't I do the same? Why did I act like that? Why are you here nursing my injury, and why am I the kind of guy who runs into the forest because...

[I hate myself, and I don't forgive myself. Because if I didn't come back maybe I would feel satisfied that I'm in the same place she is.]

I'm just, stupid...

[I'm always so jealous of everyone]

Sorry, Aria.

I still don't like myself very much. [He starts arching upwards, briefly brushing the moisture away from his eyes and and the hair falling in front of his face. Careful not to make eye contact, he starts trying to stand up.]

We should go home before I get any more dramatic...

[ghostdrives]

[Her voice lowers when he starts. While someone else might huff and find it rude, she knows he's hurting right now, and needs an ear more than a lecture.

But it doesn't stop her from fretting, from casting her gaze downward. He's proud of her? Why? They're not that different and really, not all of those positives she's made are really all that positive.

Dare she say that she's jealous of him and the relationship he has with his father now? A relationship that always felt lost to her? Because she's jealous of that. Jealous of what they have eventually become.]

You're not being dramatic. [She stands along with him, not quite making eye contact with him either. But what she does do is put a firm grip on the wrist of his injured hand and pull it towards her. She doesn't care if he's taller and stronger; she refuses to let him leave until she can properly wrap the wound.]

...And you're not stupid. We all make mistakes in our lives, some worse than others. But if we cant avoid them, what matters is what we do after it happens. And I know you're doing the best you can to make up for those past mistakes. It's not easy, but you're trying hard and that's more admirable than a lot of things.

You're already creating, and have created positives. It's just... it's harder to see things like that about yourself sometimes. And not just you, just... in general.

[She finishes up bandaging his hand, and takes a chance, looking up and smiling. You're a good bean, Terra. You always have been.]

You're important to me, too. That's why I came out here to find you.

[And with that, he'll get a pat on one of his massive shoulders before she starts to climb down and head toward her steed of a dog.]

Plus, you'd probably want me to take care of you if you get pneumonia, right?
