[a heart.]

[antreegonist]

There's a moment of nothing but light and sensation. Someone's looking you over and the scrutiny prickles and burns – it's nearly a physical pain, like fine little hooks digging past your skin, into the very meat of you. I know who you are, it says, and I know what you are, and that you don't have any business here --

“But you do,” says Mithos behind you. He's a tired, steady voice in your ear, a light hand on your shoulder. “I don't know what Dream's thinking, but everyone is welcome here in my heart; just keep in mind it's a real mess right now.”

Your vision clears.

He raises one hand to your face, fingertips against your cheek.

"And I've never regretted letting you in."

[puts a hand over Mithos's on his face and grins down at him.]

Sap...

Re: [resolution]

[antreegonist]

"Yeah, well. Look at all the trees in here."

Re: [resolution]

[brotagonist]

What does that have to—

Oh, you didn't! You didn't!

Re: [resolution]

[antreegonist]

"Hahaha!"

Re: [resolution]

[brotagonist]

Shut up!

[BOPS HIM ON THE HEAD]

Re: [resolution]

[antreegonist]

"Ow!"

He tugs one of your hairtails affectionately.

Re: [resolution]

[brotagonist]

[tugged!!]

That was awful.

Re: [resolution]

[antreegonist]

"I know."

Re: [resolution]

[brotagonist]

[tugs his hair BACK]

You don't even feel bad.

Re: [resolution]

[antreegonist]

"Nope!"

He leans into the tug a bit, still snickering.

Re: [resolution]

[brotagonist]

[sighs in mock-exasperation and pulls him into a hug again]

Re: [resolution]

[antreegonist]

Yes good, this is ideal.

Re: [resolution]

[brotagonist]

[petting...]

Do you see the stuff that True Heart sees? I want to show you a memory, too.

Re: [resolution]

[antreegonist]

"Not all of it -- he's the one who sees everything."

Re: [resolution]

[brotagonist]

Maybe I'll just show you now, then.

[tugs out his little statue from the dog's game...]

I haven't remembered this myself yet, but Emil showed me.

Re: [resolution]

[antreegonist]

"Yeah?"

Re: [resolution]

[brotagonist]

Yeah. So it's his side, not mine. But... I'm sure I mean it. It sounds like the kind of resolution I would make.

[passes the memory over (from there to the end of the scene.)]

Re: [resolution]

[antreegonist]

. . . he's still looking down at it for a bit after the memory ends, expression very complicated.

Re: [resolution]

[brotagonist]

[pretend I had my first-game VA for that conversation, okay]

...

Re: [resolution]

[antreegonist]

"...that's some resolution."

Re: [resolution]

[brotagonist]

Mm. "The chance to make things right..."

Re: [resolution]

[antreegonist]

"If you could."

Re: [resolution]

[brotagonist]

...something like that sounded like me, sure.

Re: [resolution]

[antreegonist]

"Emil's right, you know. You are pretty amazing."
