Why do you think he wanted you to check on Harrow and Cl--
[ he doesn't get to finish before jason's dragging him closer and he makes a sound of surprise like an idiot. cloud collapsing is a valid worry but not right at this moment, considering while he does give up and lean into it he isn't sagging or anything.
these are... willing cuddles, and he just sighs into it. hateful. when did he get used to cuddling. ]
I don't know. I'll talk to - um. I'll ask Harrow to see, but it might just be... names.
[cloud flops closer, and lup reaches with her free hand to rest it on his waist. this is almost a three person hug? almost. he's used to cuddles because he's into the most tactile person in the universe and someone who is incredibly touch starved.]
Don't fall. [...] Should've brought blankets and pillows.
[why does jason keep looking at her. stop it's making her nervous.]
I want you both to rest. [she says, with a sigh.] And I want you to talk to me how you feel about today, but I get the feeling I'm going to get a bill for feelings talk if I ask.
[He seems a bit disgruntled at the sympathy because he's just Like That.] ...It's fine. Don't worry about it. We didn't get someone scapegoated at least. And hopefully it'll get rid of a shadow. [It's about the best he can do.]
[ would he actually admit to being close to anyone who is not in this room. please, jason. the skeptical look cloud gives says that, but he doesn't argue that point. ]
This silver lining sounds more like picking out the best parts of a trash bin. [ what a metaphor. this is something he has said. he leans a little more on jason for strict comfort reasons, obviously. ] You can think shit still sucks even if you weren't close.
[a pause, and then she exhales slowly.] We're working on it.
Do you want to stay here a bit? I don't mind. [she has no cushioning but she can hold a pile of boys if they want to curl up with the stars for a bit.]

He glances at Lup, studying her face quietly for a moment.]
We can go back to a room. I don't care. Cloud probably doesn't need to be standing.
no subject
I'm not that bad. [ he came to find jason to see if he was feeling okay how did this turn about him so quick. ]

You're that bad. [He will just say it.] Didn't say I wouldn't rest. [And to answer Lup's question.] Feels like shit, I guess.
no subject
cloud lets it go because jason admits that so instead he's busy frowning at him in concern. and then at lup. he doesn't know what to say to that. ]
... Don't think anyone can blame you.
no subject
she leans a little closer to jason.]
I definitely don't blame you. [):] ... I'm sorry, Jason.

We weren't close.
[Like in case they thought he had FRIENDS.]

[so he can be sad or upset. she squeezes his hand.]

[He can fondly tease Cloud and feel better, thank you. Lup’s hand gets a squeeze.]
It’s fine. I’m just pissed like everyone else that we’re stuck being entertaining rats.

Ready to cancel this show anytime. [ an agreement. thanks. ]
