[smiles tearfully in forcing everyone else to start the conversations I'M SORRY AAAAA
But fortunately Kanda has no reason to walk fastly away from her (yet?); she can find him mostly outside away from the main areas, but possibly in the church or the cemetery. There's a number in the low thousands on his upper arm, visible through the sleeve of his coat! That's definitely normal.]
but she's headed to the cemetery and stops short when she sees he's already there. while he's rocking a number in the low thousands, there's a number in the low double digits on her shoulder, visible through her clothes. they are both fine and normal.]
[It's okay I've resigned myself to many of my threads being very short
But it's okay because I can say that Kanda finally got around to reading the profiles, which means that he'll nod in response to her greeting... and then they can vibe in silence for a while... before eventually he just straightforwardly asks:]
Kanda's thankfully been back to his normal self for a few days, and he also doesn't seem to be holding any particular grudges or stomping around the camp looking for vengeance (Karma), so that's. Something. He is doing his best.
In all honesty the new locations on the island are of no real interest to him outside of the farm, but I am putting him on the island anyway just because. He is at the beach with his arms crossed, looking deep in thought. He's also still in his normal clothes, boring.]
This town is on an island...? [Kanda it's magic don't overthink it]
But no he looks normal. And since poor Asa has unfortunately seen him like EVERY TIME HE'S BEEN CURSED SO FAR he knows exactly why she's looking at him like that]
[Does Asa want at least one thread where no one will fuss over her or make her talk about emotions, because that's what this is.
I assume she got bundled up and carted off to bed, but if she finds herself by the stream for whatever reason, she can spot Kanda standing on the shore, dumping out a thermos.]
[Yeah! Don't these people know that you're supposed to pretend you didn't see someone else's trauma spilled all over the place, damn.
Granted, it would be a lie to say that this execution didn't affect him at all--but she's been nothing but chill with him and he'd be incredibly surprised if she wanted to talk about anything at all pertaining to what just happened, so he isn't bothered by her approach.]
But the town is small and Kanda has zero interest in the new area, so crossing paths is unavoidable no matter how hard he tries. Sooner or later, they'll run into each other, and Asa gets to see a memory.]
[I SEE THINGS HAPPENED IN DGM AFTER I STOPPED READING... also lmk if you want a return mem from this list, or just any cws to avoid!
neither of them have touched a single feeling in any of their conversations, but. this is a lot. and she looks quite a bit upset for him, but in a way where she's not sure if she's allowed to be.]
... You friend and your lover. The Noah turned them into one of those things? Akuma?
[kanda... your life is a nightmare, actually...........]
[Should Kanda be out of bed when he's injured? Probably not. He is anyway. Shocking.
They are here in the new city!! Wandering in up the ramp and through the ruins... Kanda watches the orbs in the sky, tilting his head slightly.]
This one's better. [Than the last place... he spent like a single hour at the locations last week and then left again but this one he's willing to explore.]
[kanda... your injuries........... please use the swamp even if asa wouldn't vouch for it.]
... It's weirdly pretty, even though everything is in ruins. [it is truly an update from the gas station.] I think I spotted some ancient looking showers inside, too.
[Time for another round of "Kanda is just here existing" starters HOW EXCITING
He's pretty easy to find; he's by the pyre, wearing his usual outfit plus the second coat he had on when they first got their clothes back. He also has the blanket from the house still... toasty.
He seems like he's struggling to breathe, but he has it in him to glance over and nod at her, at least? So he's probably not about to die in this PC.]
[hello. he can find asa looking through the supplies in the infirmary, taking stock of what's available and grabbing a couple of things to take with her. she pauses halfway through shoving some aspirin in her pocket, glancing at him. hi.]
[Thank god we each get a supply of meds from this cabinet. Imagine if it was just one set of them for all of us WE'D STILL BE IN SHAMBLES.
He looks the same as he did on Sunday, though, bundled up and wheezy.]
It's fine. [Ashlyn's ended after a few days. He's using that as his metric--if his lasts longer than hers did he'll go harass the Overseers or something, but for now he can tolerate it.]
Well! She can find him at the haunted house pre-curfew!! He's back in his normal clothes, though they don't hide the light burn scarring on his face, nor his missing ear--but he's not shivering or wheezing, so that's good(?).
His expression does turn flat and cold when she approaches, but he doesn't chase her off, just waits to see what she wants.]
