[raven is awake, just quietly watching lucifel, not saying or doing anything else]

[sancrimony]

[ now he is watching him . . . watch him.

casually, looking around a bit more before looking back to him ]

Sorry—did I wake you up?

[selfpreservationist]

No. You can go back to sleep if you want to.

[sancrimony]

. . . No, I think I'm awake, now.

[ carefully, undoing some of the bindings to his hands, though he doesn't otherwise try to move away. tipping his head against raven more, even ]

[selfpreservationist]

[curling closer to him, one arm slung over his midriff]

Stay. Don't go anywhere.

[sancrimony]

. . . I won't go anywhere.

[ still, trying to work his hands completely free ]

[selfpreservationist]

What are you doing?

[sancrimony]

I was thinking, it would be easier to hug Raven-san if I had my hands free . . .

[ there's a pause, and then belatedly asking for permission: ]

I can't?

[selfpreservationist]

You'll just leave, if I let you.

[sancrimony]

. . . It's just my arms, though. I couldn't leave with my legs bound, right?

[selfpreservationist]

... I guess that's true.

[the bindings slowly start to loosen, but they stay tight on his legs]

[sancrimony]

[ oh good

stretching out his arms for a moment, before reaching out to hug. hello ]

Is this fine?

[selfpreservationist]

[curls close, sighing with relief]

This is fine.

[sancrimony]

[ with a fond hum, reaching up to pet his hair ]

I didn't know you were lonely.

[selfpreservationist]

[lowers his eyes, relaxing]

... no one needs me.

[sancrimony]

[ . . . ]

Why do you say that?

[selfpreservationist]

Because I was discarded... thrown away and left for dead.

[sancrimony]

. . . A memory?

[selfpreservationist]

Yes. I was torn from my former self... he rejected me, cut me away. He hated me... hated everything I represented.

[sancrimony]

[ giving a soft noise of understanding, quiet for a moment ]

Even so . . . he is not the only one who can need you, is he?

[selfpreservationist]

... no. But I... don't want to be alone.

[sancrimony]

And I did not say that you would be.

[ brushing away a bit of hair from his eyes ]

Rather—have you ever been? ☆ZRAEL needs you, after all.

[selfpreservationist]

Do they?

[sancrimony]

Would you disagree?

[selfpreservationist]

... I don't know. I... feel like I need them more than they need me.
