Sitting here and not letting me take care of you in return!

[threebetrayals]

You people seem to forget I don't need taking care of.

[book2thehead]

Maybe not, but it can't hurt to rely on someone else every now and then, right?

[threebetrayals]

[Wanderer doesn't respond. He just makes a vague noise that could be either an agreement or a disagreement.]

[book2thehead]

For instance, I like knowing I can rely on you and Venti.

[Just as a completely random example that definitely means absolutely nothing at all.]

[threebetrayals]

You--you rely on me?

[What. He sounds grumpy about it, but honestly...he's stunned. He probably doesn't hide that as well.]

[book2thehead]

[He gives Wanderer such a fond look, finally finishing off his bowl of soup.]

Well, on top of enjoying the pleasure of your company immensely, you both recovered my Vision for me, and you've looked after me while I slept for a month. How could I not feel like I can lean on you when I need it?

[threebetrayals]

...if you want to.

[He can't really argue it or tell Heizou to not, but it's making him feel...weird.]

You could stop getting into trouble, though.

[book2thehead]

[Weird can be good if you let it, Wanderer...

Heizou just chuckles softly at that.]

Hm... I do seem to keep running into it, don't I. Usually I'm perfectly capable of handling myself, too! There really must be something about the nature of this world that's affecting us all~

[threebetrayals]

[And Wanderer just scoffs at that because there is no way you're capable, Heizou, not after all of this.]

[book2thehead]

[Wow, he sees right through that scoff, Wanderer! He quirks an eyebrow at him, head tilting ever so slightly.]

Man alive, you don't have to think that quite so loudly you know.

[threebetrayals]

What, are you telepathic now?

[book2thehead]

No, I'm observant. Your thoughts were all over your face!

[threebetrayals]

Of course they were.

[Smirking~]

[book2thehead]

[He's reaching over to poke at that smirk! Rude!]

I'll have you know I managed perfectly fine completely on my own back home! Relying so entirely on others is new for me, too!

[threebetrayals]

[He swats Heizou's hand away again.]

If you say so.

[book2thehead]

[He pokes at him a few more times anyway, just for getting swatted at.]

You can even ask the Traveler about it the next time he appears, if you want. I'm very independent.

[threebetrayals]

Mhm. You should rest.

[Moving on--]

[book2thehead]

[That just-- makes him huff. But fine.]

I've been asleep for a month. You should rest.

[threebetrayals]

It wasn't like I was here every single hour of every single day. I had to keep Nahida from dying of frostbite.

[book2thehead]

That doesn't help your case at all. It sounds like something else you deserve to take a rest over.

[threebetrayals]

I'm fine, Heizou. You just woke up from a coma.

[book2thehead]

Then how about I stay up for a while to read while you get some sleep?

[threebetrayals]

Because I am fine, for the last time, and you need more actual rest!

[Honestly.]

[book2thehead]

I can rest while I read! I'm not saying I'm going to jump up and do laps around Reverein in the middle of the night, after all.
