[He pauses, only briefly, something complicated passing over his features.
But it's here and gone in a breath. He pulls away the strip he's just completed, holding out the pen to her. It's a very pretty blue with golden flowers all over the cap.]
Just make sure Don can still use it, or that she can share with Lilia. I didn't really plan on bringing more writing utensils.
I'm sure you'll all know the moment I do, haha. It's not as though it's very easy to hide right now.
[Between the coloring on his fingers and the black curling around his neck and throat like a clawed hand, he really did look like an emo tattoo project gone wrong.]
It's been getting progressively worse since Monday began... so I suppose I'll have to see what's in store.
I know it looks alarming. [And it kind of is alarming, and there's an unspoken apology in his eyes at that. He knows. He's sorry.] But I promise, it doesn't hurt.
[He nods gently.] We'll deal with it as we have to.
Right now? I am okay. You are, as well. So are the rest. And I don't want you distracted from the joy in the room around you, no matter what happens. Let it be a good memory to send us all off to sleep.

So we could remember things about you.
no subject
Would you know it was me, if you opened it later and I was no longer with you? Or would it be like reading a book written by a stranger?
There is power in remembering someone with your own words, and not their own.
no subject
[ However, he very much has a point, so... ]
When you're done, I'll take your pen. Everyone else here can write a note about you.

I’ll protect it with everything I’ve got.

Folding them into stars is very easy. I can walk you through it when you're ready.

A man as calm as a still lake, it's easy to tell there's a lot going on right under the surface, even if he tries to hide it. ]
I've got mine. Wanna show me how now?
[ And if he catches a glimpse of what she wrote, she doesn't mind. ]
no subject
He'll walk her through the same steps he just showed Lilia! U now have a little paper star, congratulations.]
Does that make sense? Do let me know if we need to repeat it.
no subject
[ And it sounds easy enough, so she'll go ahead and follow them... eventually ending up with a little star!
She presents it on her palm so he can see it. ]
Ta-dah!
no subject
You may do whatever you like with it. I keep mine in a little drawbag for right now.
no subject
[ She'll spend some time later making ones of the others too. Tomorrow. Hopefully it's fine to wait a bit.
Aerith pauses. ]
Hope your hand heals up well.
no subject
Mm. It's going to be fine. Yugamu's already taken a look and stitched it up nicely.
I'm afraid there isn't much I can do for the rest of it yet. No more than Fandaniel can do for his roses.

[ Something that can only be managed as best can be. With a sympathetic smile, she clasps her hands behind her back. ]
I'm glad you got it looked at. Let someone know if it gets a lot worse, okay?

Then when it does get worse, I'll do whatever I can to help. Not sure what that might be, but I'll try my best anyway.

I’m glad it doesn’t hurt. I hope it stays that way.
