[ wraps her smol arms around, burying into him like a snuggly birb. she is comfy. ]
Everything was a little tiring but... I think I understand a bit more. [ she says but she tilts her head. it's still a bit hard to get but... some.. people had.. fun? ] I'm.. excited for tomorrow though!
[ hungy though... well, given how long they were there for... ] I haven't eaten yet... I didn't need to before so, it's.. still new! Being hungry. Is it always like this?
[snuggly and comfy!! he'll just go ahead and carry her then, headed back for the apartments]
The party part? That'll be good! I'm glad then - it was probably really overwhelming for you to learn about, huh?
[he didn't realize that she and emet-selch were from the same world... it's fine he'll figure that out,]
Fufu, yeah! It takes a while to get used to, right? I only had to start eating when I got this form too... but food is good! Let's go find something tasty to munch on. Do you know which flavors you like most yet, Mete-chan? Sweet? Sour?
Mm! Danny mentioned.. "Pizza Hut" before. The party also mentions pizza so... I can't wait to see "pizza"!
[ she nods a little, it is a bit overwhelming but.. ] I know that sometimes, things die. Hermes always felt so much pain when a creation had to die. But.. I did not know what murder was. Not even Emet-Selch did, and he's smart like the researchers back home.
It's a bit hard to believe... that people would hurt others.
[ at least it was pretend? ] Ah, food is fun to eat! Even if they told me I didn't need to, I like the candied apples the best! Those are Hermes favorite. The umeboshi you made were tasty too. [ so maybe... sweets? ]
[sweets!! if the baby wants sweets then - ] Let's go to Verdant then, and I'll make you something tasty to eat.
[as for the rest . . . . hah. buzen's expression softens at that and he just gives her a little squeeze. his voice is soft when he explains:]
... Swords are used to hurt people, Mete-chan. They're weapons. They cut, and make people bleed. Since I'm a sword, I was made for that. So I think... our views on things are going to be really different.
I think there's a good reason to be a little more cautious, just in case things get a little more scary here. So if you ever get scared, you should send me a message on the phone, or call for me. I'll run to you, and protect you.
... I know. [ ah, but she becomes anxious at that, wings drooping and the nervous tick of rubbing at one of her arms. ] Hot Pants said.. sometimes... people we know do bad things, but. I don't... understand. Why would someone want to hurt someone else? Why would they put someone in pain...?
[ she is but a hyper-empathetic baby. however, she listens, looking back at him and nodding. ] Okay, I will Buzen.
[ it's okay, everyone is looking out for baby, and she sorta gets it but... the Feelings. ]
... Sometimes when emotions run high, people make choices. If there's not enough food, they might try to hurt someone else who has food because if they don't eat something, they'll go hungry. Or if someone gets too angry, they might make a choice they'll later regret, but they've already hurt someone.
[he'll squeeze her a little tighter then, aiming for reassuring]
Reasons like that. If you haven't experienced it, then I'm glad. But... I wouldn't always blame the person. Hurting someone else can be an accident, or it can be something more complicated.
Make choices..? [ Meteion eases into the hold at the squeeze, losing some of that tension. There's no way she can turn away from it, this is what she was created for. To understand. To talk with others. To feel, to share--
She just isn't sure what to take from it when it involves something like hurting and pain but... those words, they do reassure her a little. He's helping her understand a bit by bit. ] Accident, or complicated.... I think.. I understand better, Buzen.
[ She lifts her head, nodding to reassure him in return. ] Even if.. someone has used you [ his other body, his sword ] to harm someone, I wouldn't blame you.
[he'll shift so that he can run his hand through her hair, running his mind through every soothing thing that he's ever witnessed, trying to pass it on to her.]
It's tough, and to be honest, I don't always know what to do when I think about things like this either. So... if something like that happens, where someone hurts somebody, I want to make sure first that you're safe. That's most important. Then we can look at why they did it, and if we can forgive them or not.
[because it'll probably be about context, and while he can give a warning, he doesn't think it'll ever be enough to prepare someone for the emotions that can come. he knows that just as well himself, given how new his heart is]
Situations like that... I don't think anything will ever make them easier. But if we're together, we can get through them, right? I'll be with you, no matter what.
[ the hand through her hair has her lean in again, wings ruffling a little. it's gentle, it's soft, it's reassuring. light pets for birb. ]
I want to... hope. I want to believe in.. the good in everyone. I want to hope it won't happen. That we all will continue to.. spend time, making memories together, and having fun. But if.. if it does happen, that someone hurts another, we'll.. we'll listen to them!
[ she wants to hold onto that hope of hers. she wants to believe in the light she can see in everyone. ]
Mm.. we will! [ these connections she's made so far... she wants to protect. protect him too. ] We'll get through it all.. together!
That's right. No matter what happens, even if sometimes it can be hard to understand or might make our hearts hurt for a little while, we'll be able to get through it. I believe in that too.
[even if there are things in life that can make you fall to your knees and cry, pain that crushes so deeply that it can be hard to breathe, it's important to keep going]
As much as we can, let's build good memories here. Keep having that hope, Mete-chan. I will, too.
