[ yeah don't remind me caelus was acting like an idiot all 'yay iwa and i are on the same page together forever' ]

It was one of the worst days here.

[ and caelus' last few have been rotten. ]

But thanks. You were always trying. I knew you were.

[ releases iwatooshi at last. ]

[ maybe they were! at least the iwatooshi that was still himself, sometimes? who's to say. ]

There aren't so many good days in this place, are there? So we have to treasure the ones we get even more while we can.

[ be free little raccoon. ]

I think you have more faith in me than I deserved.

[ scampers! no. well. not yet. they're talking. ]

I'm reflecting back the belief you seemed to put in me. You've always been honest--as much as you could. And you always made an effort. It'd be wrong not to see that. You're allowed to get praised, too, Iwatooshi!

[ reaching, reaching, and possibly gesturing for the sword to bend down so he can give him the much anticipated head pat ]

It's hard not to believe in someone who promises to deliver a letter across all of existence.

[ does not bend down. in fact, iwatooshi turns away, right hand flexing as if reaching for something. ]

I haven't done anything that the others haven't.

[ a blank moment. it passes quick. he knows iwatooshi too well to think that was a direct jab.

he'll still be delivering that letter, thank you. it's on his active mission list.

then iwatooshi turns away and there's an item that should be in his hand. ]

... What happened to your other self?

[ grabs you both by the throat stop doing things that iwatooshi won't ask about

he'll just shake out that hand like it's nothing. ]

I left it at the apartments. It's fine.

[ just occasionally something happens and makes him wish he hadn't, that's all. ]

[ get smarter. ]

Why did you leave it?

[ pretty sure he hasn't seen the naginata since arriving in the gy, has he? ]

[ HE SIMPLY CANNOT HE'S SO STUPID. LIKE A CAT WHO RUNS INTO WALLS. ]

I didn't want to scare the animals. We were watching from the cat store.

[ that's one of his charm points ]

So, there you were again, thinking of others.

[ crossing arms over his chest. ]

Wanna show me the apartments?

I know by now that I scare animals with or without my weapon.

...Alright. You'll have to pick up your key soon, anyway, unless you plan to sleep elsewhere.

[ well if that isn't the saddest fucking thing anyone has said to caelus since--okay, earlier today. but still.

diverts their attention. ]

If my room is bad can I stay at the ice cream place?

[ somehow knows about that, already. maybe he sniffed it on the air like a creature. yes. from the grave. ]

I don't think anyone will stop you, but they aren't so bad. Mine even has a kotatsu.

[ imanotsurugi would have loved it. ]

A what?

[ frankly he's probably encountered them but it's fun to make iwa explain. they can chatter as they walk. also be prepared for a post-camille reveal pc in your inbox soon ]

Ah, I still forget sometimes that some of you aren't familiar with things from my home.

[ takes this entirely at face value ]

It's a table covered by a blanket, with a heater underneath. They're very comfortable when it's cold!

All right, new plan.

[ gentle smack of his fist onto his other open palm ]

If my room sucks, I'll stay in yours.

[ there's like half a second where he pauses in surprise, and then he's bursting into laughter, just like always. ]

Gahaha! You'd be welcome to, if you like! Living alone is [ hmmmm ] unexpectedly quiet. I'm still not used to it.

That settles it.

[ now, whenever his own apartment goes all silent hill-y, he'll scamper over to iwa's and see if the kotatsu is warm ]
