Clementine's young, but don't take too much credit from her. I think she'd get it better than anyone, even if she didn't like the outcome. Her hostage is safe. That's probably one of the most important things to her.
It probably will. We've been out of my mark for a while now, and here we are almost out of a second week for you. Lucky us. We've got about six more weeks to go. You going to hold up, buddy?
I'm not worried for myself. Just for my friends. Maybe this won't make sense, but I've only made it this far because I've been prepared to die along the way
[ that's just how war is. ]
...I agree. I am lucky, far more than most. If anything happens to me here I consider it overdue.
There's more than one pretty boy around here. [ this is pretty boy erasure, jason, ] But yeah, we've met. Didn't actually know him before this, though.
That's... vague. I guess it isn't off the mark. The fighting's done, and now we're tryna rebuild what's left.
Oh really? You been picking out all the prettiest ones?
[Listen.]
It was vague, and he just smiled at me when I questioned it. So now it's fishy. It's not my business, it just sounded weird was all. That was his answer when I asked him what part of world their got the shit end of the stick because of the war.
...Yeah, sounds like Yuri. Apparently he knew who I was all this time. Didn't feel like letting me in on the joke until a week had passed. He makes Claude look loose-lipped... —Well, I dunno about that, actually. They can fight for it.
[ sylvain just shakes his head ]
It doesn't make much sense, but apparently I'm not from the same Fódlan as the others. Flayn, Claude, Yuri... And Dimitri's in his early 20s in my timeline.
They're both pretty Like That, I can tell. [Claude has made him an enemy because he's so rough. Hilarious.] At least you know to expect them to have secrets.
I should be surprised, but I'm not. Someone's already told me they knew baby me which is pretty fucked up, if I'm honest, to know a teenage me was in one of these things.
[He is about to break out into a cold sweat. Bucky being a completely different person is not a single bit different than how he was almost a completely different person too.
Well, true, except for the attitude. He's always had the attitude.
Actually, he seems kind of embarrassed? He turns his head partially away, not looking into the room at Sylvain.]
You mean he wasn't a grumpy old man with a metal arm?
[Young Jason is very cute actually. A sweet boy who just happens to be a bit sassy. Adult Jason is not cute, though, he is a disaster.]
A... musician. [HELLO? He looks kind of like he thinks about laughing, but it doesn't come all the way out.] Yeah. It's when you play it pretty fast. You know.
[He does a pretend shredding guitar motion with his hands in the air.
Sylvain does not know. But now that I'm backtagging this for Week 2, maybe Sylvain can see with the instruments.]
[ actually, sylvain does recognize the motions—he's seen bucky perform on stage (to everyone's detriment), it's just difficult to remember the slang... ]
Do you play, too? [ emo boy jason with his emo rock band... ]

I just condemned a child, so things could be better. ...You?
[ he's so proud of jason for not pulling out a gun at trial btw ]

I don't know her well, but she seems like a good kid ...Tougher than anyone her age ought to be.
Was thinking about what you said at trial, too. About the killer making a choice...
...It's just messed up. And it feels like it'll only get worse from here on out.
no subject
[Being tougher than she should be, he means.]
It probably will. We've been out of my mark for a while now, and here we are almost out of a second week for you. Lucky us. We've got about six more weeks to go. You going to hold up, buddy?

no subject
Why? Do you think it's overdue, I mean?
[Why are the "I deserve to be punished" vibes extend between suites?]
no subject
... [ he looks like he wants to say something else, but he just continues, ] The war wasn't my choice, but I did choose to fight in it, y'know?
Not saying I want to die, and I definitely won't try to. Just that it wouldn't be totally undeserved, either.
no subject
Sounds like we have more in common than we realize.
[He doesn't clarify though.]
no subject
Haha... Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.
[ nice that someone else Gets It, though ]
no subject
[He turns so he can rest his back on the frame instead of just the side of his arm and shoulder.]
You know the pretty boy, Yuri? Do you have a different story than “the war just fizzled out somehow and everything was fine”?
no subject
That's... vague. I guess it isn't off the mark. The fighting's done, and now we're tryna rebuild what's left.

Since, you know, that's usually how wars go.

[ we won't go there ]

no subject
Huh. Really. Now I'm tryna imagine what you were like as a kid...
[ he just imagines a smaller jason but like, with the same attitude. waving around guns, or whatever. ]
Guess it's a trend. I met Bucky as a teenager in the study I was in. Completely different person, though.

[ THIS JUST IN: JASON IS THE CUTEST BOY IN THE WORLD I WANT TO HOLD HIS FACE ]
No. Still had the metal arm, but he claimed to be a musician. Something about... shredding a guitar?
no subject
