There was someone there.

"He didn't leave me when I was dying."

That's what Dove said.

takes the coin from the fountain, clutches it in a vice-grip, until a bead of water falls from between his fingers.

Back in the water it goes.

...
In a gloomy place, in the depths of the Iifa Tree,

A boy with̸̬͆ ̸͎̈a̵̘͌ ̷̣̋ṃ̶̛ȏ̸͜n̴̙͗k̸̭͆e̷̥̍y̸͇͠'̵͈͐s̸͕̅ ̵̨̅t̸͇̓a̸̘̾i̴͈͋l̸̤͝ A black silhouette that seethes at the edges, sometimes with two sets of wings, sometimes with only one set from the head, sometimes a monkey's tail, sits at Angel Devil's side. You can tell just by looking at Memory-Angie, injured and more bedraggled than he ever lets anyone see him, that he's not going to make it. 

Voice cut through with a strong rasp, Angel Devil grinds out,

"What are you doing here? I thought I told you to go." ]</sub>

...

Convenient, those things.

[finalbows]

_{[ blandly, ]}

Think I should tell Faith "thank you?"

[catposting]

[ thinks on it. ]

If you're not being sarcastic, then... maybe? Chances are she'll just say "I didn't do it for you".

[finalbows]

Tch~. I was being sarcastic! I'm sure she's going to use all our efforts for something nefarious.

[catposting]

Obviously.

[ unspoken: it didn't stop you from chaining memories like this, you shameless monkey ]

[finalbows]

...

I've probably said this to you before, but I have no idea what to do about this in the moment. And, anyway...

...

While I... do, have the strangest premonition I wouldn't be "happier..."

...

Anything he did to me can't be anything good.

[catposting]

[ tosses one of his own coins in the air ]

Want a distraction?

...

It's not like I have to hide with you, either.

[finalbows]

...

Sure. I could use one for a few reasons lately.

[catposting]

If I get another misfire, I'm incinerating this entire stack...

[ he doesn't sound serious -- perhaps surprisingly. anyway, he tosses his coin, and... it doesn't misfire! it's kind of cute, actually. Akrinak rolls his eyes as it plays, but it's obvious that it's a fond memory. ]

[finalbows]

"Teammate," huh...

_{[ understands something the cat used to call him, a little more now.]}

[catposting]

... Yeah.

[ almost looks like he wants to play it again, but doesn't. ]

[finalbows]

Go ahead.

[catposting]

[ FLUSHES ]

It's- ... ugh.

[ PLAYS IT AGAIN ]

[finalbows]

No wonder he--

2/2

[finalbows]

_{[ catches himself before "wanted to keep you," in reference to Workshop Guy. ]}

Followed you. Look how much your tail was waving around with your every twitch and frown. Too entertaining to chase.

[catposting]

Shut up.

[ in the tone of "don't actually shut up" ]

[finalbows]

_{[ bends just so, so that he can see Akrinak's tail better. ]}

No, I want to see if I can get a wiggle because the mindset's been dragged up. Hey, former flockmate...? _{[ talking AT his tail. ]} You know I'd follow you if you said, "let's go storm the Tower right now," right~?

1/?

[catposting]

[ no fuck your wiggle. his tail goes TAUT. not ideal while sitting down. ]

2/3

[catposting]

You...

3/3

[catposting]

[ SUMMONS HIS DISEMBODIED FUR TAIL AND WHACKS ANGIE WITH IT. so what if it bounces off actually it's better if it bounces off he's not trying to hurt your dumb ass ]

1/2

[finalbows]

Hee, hee. Oh, come on!

2/2

[finalbows]

And you'd only ask if you had a plan! I know you!

[catposting]

[ the fur tail starts poking him in the side ]

You're. So insufferable.

[ lifts his butt off the fountain. tucks his real tail underneath. sits back down. ]
