[ Odin opens and closes his mouth a few times? What the fuck did he just see. He's been in like three armies filled with people close to dying of starvation and none of them fuckin' ate like that. Is Archie part duck? or something???????????

but fuck those were three really good compliments. alex is AMAZING. he folds his arms and quietly resents himself for being a man of his word. ]

Okay.

Why's it so important to you I do therapy stuff?

[h2no]

[he's part vacuum thank you and good night]

Because I think it would help, and because I don't want to see you get worse with your insomnia or anxiety or self-esteem issues because you have no coping methods for dealing with them. I-- yes, I'm not saying when you talk to your friends that's a bad thing, I think even being able to do that is very good of you and you should keep it up, but I think being able to talk to a professional who can help you work through your feelings and move forward from them would be beneficial as well.

[and yes, he means the Poe Feelings as well.]

I want you to do therapy stuff because... I think you deserve to think of yourself at least half as well as everyone else does.

[ terrible ]

It's not-- it's not like I don't know how to cope. I think of my mom and dad being with me and it helps. I work with my hands to calm down. It's just-- the anxiety's a coping thing too? I think.

[ he's not sure if he'll be able to explain what he means by that, so he just rubs at his eyes for a second before staring down at the table, focusing on a mark in the grain so he doesn't have to look at archie. wow, interesting. look at that mark. wow. fascinating.

ugh, okay. he looks up. ]

Things-- are bad. Home. When I'm sent back, I'm gonna be porting back into things that I think-- are a lot worse than what I realized when I first came in. I'll-- either die, or go through something much worse. And. [ he scratches that scruffy chin hair he's been growing. ] My life until now-- sucked? It sucks. Everything about it sucks. I have had a pretty sucky life.

It's easier to dwell on embarrassing shit I do than on the Risen and the wars and the impending doom. I don't know.

[h2no]

It doesn't have to be bad here, though.

[odin's going to die back home? archie isn't actually surprised to hear this, though it does upset him. he doesn't react for now, though his expression drops noticeably.]

We talked about this being a break from all the shit we have to go through back home, right?
