[ they would say this is largely untrue, you're all stubborn cockroaches when you aren't busy getting killed by each other. they just... shake their head a little. ]
Considering we haven't done something like this before... [ glancing back to rosamund quietly. ] I think it would be safer if you did not. But you can stay for a while yet. I don't mind the company.
[ no sleepovers. but a very tired smile crossing their features. ]
Not that I wouldn't be thankful for the reprieve. But we'll be filing through here, keeping watch. I'd rather you get some good sleep, brace for whatever comes tomorrow.
[ damb. rejected. the fireflies are going to eat him alive next time he's in south park. i mean what.
keith could be stubborn and refuse to leave, but that would get him nowhere... even if he does make a face that says okay, I GUESS. ]
Makes sense, especially since we never did find out who killed Sora last week. [ they all know it was rosamund, so it'll be easier to wait and see what happens.
he just deflates in his seat a bit, at the mention of tomorrow. ] Guess it'd wishful thinking to hope for a boring Sunday, huh.
[ frowns at the thought of what could possibly happen, with how trial turned out, on brad's end... ]
Hey... none of that... you're face will be stuck and I can't cure something like that.
[ don't you be disappointed. ]
Better it's us here if something happens. You all should save your strength, hold the line... you do more than enough. [ shifting to scoot their stool closer so they can place both hands on his shoulders, head dipping to look him in the eye. ]
What I wouldn't give for a Sunday we can sleep in... a Sunday where everything is okay for once.
[ he thinks io could maybe cure a stuck face, io is so smart. it'd be fiiiine.
no. he fixes his face and just nods. ] Alright, alright... [ I GUESS. most of the time he feels the opposite of that, but it's hard when there's just a million things constantly going on.
blinks and looks them back in the eye. his eyes feel so unfocused after today, help. just. headbutts him and stays there... affection week or whatever. closes his eyes and just sighs so much. ]
The horrors persist and so do we... not much of a choice in the matter. Maybe at the end of it all, if we live to see it. [ if i live to see it. ]
[ io cannot cure a stuck face, promise. it'd be stuck like that and they would laaaaaaaugh. because they're awful like that. in any case... but. io does kind of wearily chuckle as he is. headbutted. help. maybe they are just used to this kind of behavior so they just very gently nuzzle against it for a moment, closing their eyes. ]
Seen a lot of those haven't you? One too many at this point, I would say...
[ their shoulders drop heavily, the realization of it stale in his mouth. ]
It's going to be alright. We'll figure this out... we'll get through it...
[ he'd be so right for that. laugh at him all you want, king.
a lion and a bull... keith doesn't move, just continues to sit like this with him. eye opening to look at io, then turning downwards. ]
We've all seen and been through a lot, both here and back home... would be pretty dumb to give up now. We have to make it through this.
[ unless they all want to be doomed to dying in space, they have no choice but to keep pressing forward... even with everything going horribly wrong. ]

We will... let's just hope it's not going to be for much longer.
[ pulling away just a little to gently reach a hand up and ruffle keith's hair back somewhat. ]
Spirit like that is what'll keep us going.
