True. I know that's why I do it. [ so he can understand. but there's a note of surprise in his tone then. ]

You don't have to thank me for something like that. We were in it together for the long haul. You definitely helped us out a lot back there, too. But... none of us were ever gonna leave the others behind, were we?

[ in terms of team synergy they really were one of the best combinations. ]

[ A considering expression, eye still remaining closed as they listen. He knows the thought.. to not have to thank for something like that but.. ]

Still.. I'd rather say it than not. [ As quiet as Siffrin normally is, not really the best with words, he still wants to get that feeling across. ]

..No, I don't think any of us were going to. Even with.. how different things were. Between us "puppets" and humans - I think Elysium and Reirin both knew we would do the best we could for them.

[ ..So he hopes. But overall, they really understood one another best with some glaring similarities, making for good support. ]

Well... I appreciate it then. [ he can understand that, too. sometimes you need to express gratitude to make sure the people you know understand how important their actions are. ]

It was weird to think about puppets and humans as two different types of people when we all had the same goal, but... I know you felt this way, too. That we had to keep them safe because humans are so fragile. [ which... a lot happened out there. ] Elysium and Reirin are really strong here, at least. I trust them to watch out for themselves. But even so... I don't think I'll be able to stop myself from wanting to keep protecting them. And you.

[ A nod. Siffrin did feel that way. Even with their different bodies, and traits.. they were all striving for the same thing. And protecting them was all Siffrin could really think to do. Until... ]

It's the same for me. The three of you did a lot for me, and.. it's more than just returning the favor. So if there's anything I can do, you can rely on me.

[ there's noise of gratitude to that. ]

I will. For now, I think the only thing I want you to do is rest. We could both stand to use a little bit of a break to recover. [ frowning. ] Especially with your eyesight right now. Where were you trying to go, anyway? I can walk with you there.

[ Rest... yeah, that's fair. Definitely something they should be doing. ]

I was mostly looking to find you guys. To check in. [ Even with their vision gone, Siffrin still worries about others more. ] Was gonna head back to my room after. Isabeau wasn't there, I don't think, so.. I should try to talk to him a little.

Think it'd be easier to call him? He could come to you and make it less of a hassle trying to find him, especially when there's still a lot of places in the maze and the Heart he could go.

Call..? Oh. Right. The compact. [ <-- Idiod that forgets it exists most of the time. ] Mm.. no, knowing him, he should back in our room. And.. I'd rather explain in person than worry him over a call.

Fair enough. Then at least let me walk you back and we can check together.

[ let him be a seeing-eye yoosk... ]

[ seeing-eye yooskpup.. ]

Alright. ..Thanks. [ They can go back together 🥺 safely wraps thread up. ]
