Cassian's been over a month now

It's fine.

It is what it is.

I'm fine.

Either the Porter brings them back, or she doesn't, or she does and they don't remember anything, and either which way there's nothing to do about it. So.

I'm fine.

[shadowglitter]

You don't have to pretend with me, man. We're so far past pretending.

[ a pause. ]

I'll be here, however you need to get through this. Okay?
For as long as I'm breathing, as long as my feet are flat on this shitty world's ground, you can talk to me about anything.

[flightforfreedom]

Not pretending.

Just.

I've gotta be fine, so gotta tell myself I'm fine. That's it. That's all it is. No time for anything else. So don't worry about it.

[There's a pretty long pause, because he knows that Odin means what he's saying but he also knows it's not true. There are definitely things they can't talk about. But he isn't willing to point that out.]

just

enjoy yourself. be happy. that's all I want.

[shadowglitter]

Yeah...

Okay.

[ it's not like he can't understand that. he did that every day, back in the fallen ylisse. he still does it now, every time he goes full odin dark. still.

it sucks. ]

I am. I will.
But my phone's on.
You can contact me any time.

[flightforfreedom]

[... No. No 'buddy'. Not anymore.]

it's fine

i'll call if necessary, but
you deserve this, so
just enjoy it

[ he doesn't feel good about leaving poe like this. it feels like he's abandoning him, almost. but he's not going to turn his back on peter, either. despite how long he spent fighting against poe's attempts to create distance, that's not really a choice that's in his hands anymore. the guy who didn't hurt him so, so fucking badly comes first. ]

Make sure you do. Okay? I'm serious.
I'll be back soon. Promise.

Do you mind if I say something else before I go?

[flightforfreedom]

sure, what's up

[shadowglitter]

[ typing, backspacing, typing, backspacing. a solid five minutes pass. ]

I love you.

Just remember that. Please. Despite everything else you're feeling. All the grief.
Okay?
You matter to me and I want you to be okay.

[There's a pause, but it isn't as long as Owain's. Maybe a minute, less than two.]



... i know. don't worry so much.

I love you, too.

Have fun.

[Poe is offline, because that's about as far as he can deal with that.]
