[are you asking me if it was yuri well sorry to disappoint. she smiles a little sadly.]
I would like to think so, but I honestly don't know. [it's complicated.] She was kind to everyone. She cared about everyone. [and it's hard to feel certain of where you stand with someone like that.] But I think that quality of hers was wonderful. Somehow I always believed her when she said things that I would have laughed off from anyone else.
[and despite what she said, she's very upset about it.]
I was always taught to think kindness like that was weakness, but hers wasn't. It wasn't for Charlie, either. [but this place keeps trying to make her feel stupid for thinking so.]
I guess that depends on what you consider strength to be.
[ Living alone to not allow any weaknesses in your armour? Surviving at any cost? ]
But you're right, I think they were both strong. And I don't want to speak for them too much but I doubt they regret trying to bring happiness to those of us here.

Poor, by my reckoning. What are your observations, my good sir?
[seems bad for you, too?]
It doesn't feel real.
no subject
... Yeah. You got somewhat close to Elysia, didn't you?

He nods, understanding. ]
I know what you mean. I know plenty of people who are friendly in a shallow sense, but I always got a genuine sense of care from her.
It won't be as bright without her.

We'll have to pick up that slack now.

I don't know that bringing happiness to others is my personal calling. Much as I might reluctantly admire it as a quality in others.
no subject
You don't think so? Why?

no subject
But do you? Support me and want the best for me?
no subject
[but it's different and he knows that.]

You're clever and funny, Shadowheart. I think that adds plenty of light to a situation. [ ... ] At least, I hope so. That's usually my approach too.
no subject
Well. Thank you. I'm - you may be right. [though she's not going to agree with him that he's clever and funny.]
no subject
I'm glad you think so. [ but also, ] But you can be plain miserable with me if you want.
