[CATCHES HIS HAND WHILE HE'S DISTRACTED.

And then slips a bracelet over it and onto his wrist. It's got brown, gold and white beads and letter beads that spell out: BIG⭐BRAIN.]

[satisficing]

[HELP ME

He pauses, WAY TOO TRUSTING TO JUST LET DAHUT PUT THIS BRACELET ON HIM, HE'S SO STUPID. He blinks at it. NOT THE BIG BRAIN.]

Big Brain...?

[artificialsweetener]

[Yeah it's an arcane tool of power that Dahut can now use to pilot Viktor's body around like a lil marionette.

No it's just a normalass friendship bracelet. He grabs Viktor's hand in his paws!]

You weren't there when we were all making each other bracelets, so I made one for you!

[satisficing]

[STOP NOT THIS HE'S BECOME LUCIEN

Takes Dahut's paws in his own paws after he's inspected this silly little friendship bracelet.]

Thank you... I see I missed out on quite a bit of things with all of you.

[artificialsweetener]

[NOT ANOTHER LUCIEN.

Now they are holding paws, though Dahut immediately looks SO SULKY though in the extremely hammy way of someone who obviously isn't actually bothered.]

You did! That's what you get for vanishing without even saying goodbye! You weren't there when I died in the brain or when a bunch of us died on Thursday! Monsieur Gregor panicked and decapitated me again! And also exploded!

[satisficing]

[this south park icon

He uses his other hand to ruffle Dahut's hair because Dahut is being silly.]

Wh--Wait, hold on. Slow down. When you what? I don't understand why you all were dying so often. What in the world was going on?

[artificialsweetener]

[FUCKING HELP. He will allow this ruffling even if he leans back eventually to start fixing his hair.]

Well, the Thursday thing was just a Thursday thing, you know. Monsieur Owner and I just died a bit early because we went too deep into the brain. [THEIR BRAIN LOCATION THAT YOU MISSED!!!!!]

[satisficing]

[NOOOOOOOOOOOO, HIS BRAIN!!!]

You two... [As if him and Dahut weren't planning to fuck around the heart.] I'm glad you had someone with you to explore, though.

But--what about Gregor? You all were updating the HER-MES on Tuesday, right...?

[artificialsweetener]

[HIS BRAIN!! ALSO YEAH! YOU LEFT BEFORE WE COULD EXPLODE YOU FOOL.]

Mm, he's a really good person to explore with! [Because he just does whatever the fuck and truly doesn't give a shit, it's hilarious.

As for that, after a long pause:] We were having a party that night.

[satisficing]

[DAMN, MY EXPLOSIONS, TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET ME BACK IN!!!!]

I... sort of could tell, yes. But Gregor exploded...?

[yall were so drunk]

[artificialsweetener]

[





Looking to the left and right.






Gesturing for Viktor to lean down.]

[satisficing]

...

[HATE IT HERE.

HE GUESSES HE WILL LEAN DOWN FOR HIM BECAUSE HE THINKS NOTHING OF IT.]

[artificialsweetener]

[Whispers in his ear like he is telling him a very important secret.]

We lied.

[satisficing]

[






GRABS THE TOP OF HIS HEAD MUCH LIKE SCIEN DOES.]

[artificialsweetener]

[SCREAMS AND TRIES TO WIGGLE AWAY LIKE HE DOES WITH SCIEN.]

Not another one—!!

[satisficing]

[YOU BETTER WIGGLE AND SCREAM YOU LIL PUNK

It's fine. He releases his head.]

You all lied about my crystal, too! Sending one with a guinea pig here!

[artificialsweetener]

[HIS NOGGIN. He reaches up for Viktor's hand to hold again right after.]

I have no idea what was going on with that.

[satisficing]

[He will hold the paw.]

Don't tell me a lie...

[Just trying to see what Dahut will say when accused....]

[artificialsweetener]

[CLUTCHES THIS PAW AS HE IS ACCUSED.]

I'm not lying! I really don't know what that was all about...!

[satisficing]

[He relents. It was a bit of a fright, but it wasn't so bad really. It got dispelled kind of quickly there after.]

...I'm glad you're back, Dahut.

[artificialsweetener]

[Oh this is kind of soft... Instead of clutching the paw, he just sort of holds Viktor's hands between his, smiling in the way that makes his eyes crinkle.]

I'm very glad to be back! I really did miss you while you were gone, even if it wasn't for very long at all... I got so used to you being there.

[satisficing]

[Not the crinkly eyes like Eunhyuk!! He offers the paws a squeeze.]

I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to say goodbye. It was... strange being back. I don't think I missed the Belly. Well, the labs. [A laugh.] But I did miss all of you.

It was bizarre to feel homesick for such a space...

[artificialsweetener]

[SQUEEZE PAW!! And a light, chiming laugh that sounds like bells.]

I know what you mean! I felt a little sad later in the week, too. Looking around, knowing I'd never see any of that again... That it wouldn't be long before I'd never see any of you again, too.

[Said with a little cough as he turns to tuck his head into his shoulder.]

We all made quite the ragtag team, didn't we?

[satisficing]

[Holds this little peepaw. Stop being cute, you are a freak of nature.]

I know...

[He has also had a little thinky about not being able to see a lot of people here anymore. Very sad. He doesn't know why he decided to pick emotions and also social relations. IT'S SO BAD ALL AROUND. The goods are good, the bads are HORRENDOUS.]

We did. I'm not sure how we have all worked so well together, yet still continued to be so...

Ourselves.

[artificialsweetener]

[DON'T JUST ASSIGN HIM FREAK OF NATUREEEEEE even if he's right. Also yeah why did they do this? They are suffering so largely and for what. FRIENDSHIP??? PAH. (Except he would never say this because he's still an emotions stan even when the emotions hurt.)

He swings their arms a little, his eyes halfmooning from his smile.]

I think us being ourselves is part of what made it happen! We were exactly the way we needed to be and in the exact right place for everything to work out the way it did.
