[huntedtyphoon]

I try not to linger there much so that it stays safe. A couple days every twenty years or so, something like that.

I lose track of time sometimes.

[whowillmourn]

[ There's something terrible and possibly worse about the nature of Vash's loneliness. Able to be with people in ways Mayerling cannot but only for a short while, even with those who care for him. So much of Mayerling's existence has been spent alone, but the times he has found people he loves, the times he has people, he truly has them. He is with them for all the time, for as long as they have together. He's sad on Vash's behalf and wishes it could be different, yet that is tragedy. Things are the way they are, and they cannot always be improved. ]

You lack anything to anchor your sense of time, so it makes sense that you would lose it. I wish all my years gave me any insight or advice to make such experiences less terrible, yet nothing that truly makes a difference comes to mind. I can only say that I treasure what good experiences and people I have while I have them, no matter how much losing them pains me later.

[huntedtyphoon]

Yeah, I was traveling with some friends before I came here? I don't usually do that, but for a little while, there's no harm done. I know we're going to have to part ways soon, that I'm sure of.

It's too bad I don't want to.

[whowillmourn]

If your friends know and understand the risks, perhaps you could let them make up their own minds. There is no guarantee that they would choose to part ways with you, and you only stand to gain.

[huntedtyphoon]

No, I'm not going to make them or anything but I just...know how it goes.

I bring a lot of trouble with me.

[whowillmourn]

Do not underestimate your friends, for they may consider you worth all of that trouble. Such people may be rare, but I have met them throughout my time, and in return I have found people worth all the trouble they bring.

[huntedtyphoon]

Maybe. I love them for every minute I get. I will still do that when they turn on me. It's not their fault.

[whowillmourn]

[ Mayerling continues to be sad for the way Vash talks. His sadness may be more open, coming off him even in his happy moments, yet it feels less sad that the upbeat forced happiness Vash gives. ]

Perhaps someday someone you love will not turn on you. It could happen. Pray tell, how is turning on you not their fault?

[huntedtyphoon]

Circumstance, mostly. Like I said. I bring a lot of trouble. I can't be mad at them.

Someday, huh...

[whowillmourn]

You can be mad at them, and if you are—truly are, when you are honest with yourself—it is better to be mad with them and work out the issues than to hold them inside yourself forever.

It remains a possibility.

[huntedtyphoon]

I'm really not mad. I can't be mad. Not when I deserve it.

[whowillmourn]

Emotions do not care for logic. Even should you deserve it, even should you be in the wrong, your emotions do what they will.

Though on that topic, I question why you deserve to be betrayed over and over again.

[huntedtyphoon]

It's my fault the humans crash landed on Noman's Land in the first place and they're all struggling to survive. So they can do with me what they want. I'll keep trying to fix it.

[whowillmourn]

Did you make a mistake or did you act with malicious intent? While they struggle regardless, it's not productive to punish someone interminably, especially someone trying to help, someone able to help, whether it's another person or yourself. What good does it do? I am sure you would not make the same choice again from how you talk about it.

[huntedtyphoon]

It was a mistake.

Even if they don't know I'm to blame, I'm still to blame. I know. I have to be the one to fix it.

[whowillmourn]

You made a mistake at some point in time that had disastrous consequences and hangs about your soul like a noose or wooden stake, never giving you a moment's rest. It is hard, nay even impossible in many circumstances, to fix something so large on your own, yet your friends may themselves be willing to work and thus make it possible for you to finally fix your mistake, if only you let them.

[huntedtyphoon]

Yeah, I don't think my friends are going to take I doomed all of humanity very well.

Wolfwood seems to think it's not my fault, but he's weird.

[whowillmourn]

As someone whose species has been doomed, whose whole family has died as a result, who only back home waits to see the end of all that we were and could have been, you may be surprised at the breadth of views given time and perspective.

There is one already, managing to surprise you. Might not your friends all be 'weird'?

[huntedtyphoon]

I mean...maybe. I guess? I don't know. If they're not, it's not going to end well.

I'm not really a brave guy. I'm okay with how things are.

[whowillmourn]

[ It is hard to make oneself vulnerable, knowing the great odds of rejection and loss. The comfort of lesser connection is tempting compared to the cold isolation and loneliness that Mayerling has experienced time and again. ]

You will not be alone so long as you have that one weird friend. Take comfort in that.
