[ he huffs, squeezing jason's hand without really thinking about it ]
Because that's exactly what we've been doing the last few weeks? [ he sounds So over it, but, also. he peers at jason ] ... Since you didn't get to bury me, you think your contract clause is still okay?
[He keeps rubbing his thumb along the back of Cloud's hand over and over because he has too much nervous energy. He frowns and glances away and down with his eyes.]
...I don't know. I don't know if it was just for entertainment, so now it's all void because of the hotel. Did... anything like this happen to your roles?
[ hrrmmm. he peers at him worriedly but lets jason pet his hand as much as he wants ]
None of them had to do their roles our last week, and the place was breaking down in a similar way. But they didn't think they'd have to do them either, at that point. [ after a moment of hesitation he puts a hand to jason's face, cupping it softly ] You did your part. Every time you woke up, you buried someone. So you didn't break your contract. They've talked a lot about how the guy can't go against them, so even if it was for entertainment, that doesn't make anything void.
Maybe they were still rolling with the motions to keep the appearance up. It’s Tuesday when I meet them, so…
[He won’t lift his eyes any higher than Cloud’s shoulders, expression unconvinced and hesitant. Then he finally closes his eyes briefly while he leans his head into the hand. When he opens his eyes again, he’s looking at Cloud.]
[ he doesn't think Jason actually knows, but he stares back and rubs his thumb over jasons cheekbone because he doesn't think saying that will. like. change it, either. so. uhhh. hm. ]
