[ glad it wasn't vore, but hate that kon wouldn't have been that surprised considering amatsuki.
except his face twists a little at the last note, and he reaches to curl his fingers around lavi's wrist. support, encouragement to continue, but not absolution. the only person that can give him that is lavi, or nameless himself. ]
[he looks down at the fingers on his wrist, as if surprised at the contact.]
...It killed him instantly. Octopus grabbed on, so I cut off its arm. [sorry about the arm crimes] I dragged Cosmos out and tried to resuscitate him. I was full out panicking.
[and he also forgot cpr bc i thought it'd be funny]
...Octopus ran and I chased it all the way to the onsen, where I finally killed it.
He doesn't pull his hand away though. Just sits and thinks about the warmth of Kon's hand, and the difference of this night compared to the one before.]
...Not right away. I had enough time to go back to my room to put my hammer back, and to go to Cosmos' room. I wanted to get his journal.
I brought it back to the aquarium and left it there -- dropped it, actually. Pages got stained so I rewrote most of it. ...It was the only thing I could think of doing for him at the moment.
[ it's about to be vore crimes now because i'm gonna eat YOU. YAYWON!!!!
his thumb presses into lavi's pulse, like it can ground either one of them. maybe some part of him wants to think it'll keep him there, but he's too logical, too realistic, to believe in that. ]
... you tried. [ failed, but still tried. doesn't erase that it happened, but lavi still tried. ] It was something for him.
[his pulse is steady and slow, like saying all of this is lifting some kind of weight, if even for moment.]
...Can I ask ya for a favor?
[he doesn't expect kon to turn him down. is that manipulative of him? even though he's not trying to use this moment for it, and yet... well, it all comes down to his choices. and this is one he'll make now.]
[ but he squeezes. no, kon probably won't turn it down - just because he's the kind of person that sees it through. the kind of person that takes the weight and the problem and tries to figure it out so that someone else won't have to. ]
I dunno what your opinion on graves are, but... I think Cosmos should have something more than just that beek. I asked Uri too, if she could think of something for him.
Think we can probably figure something out. Even if it's just a memorial of some kind. We've got his journal to work with, brief as it is, and the memories made with the people here.
[ it was. but what if it wasn't, huh? kon'd still say yes even if he asked him to execute him.
he makes a little face at seeing the golem proffered to him, reluctantly letting go of lavi so that he can take it. it makes this situation feel more... cemented. ]
Giving me a lot to take care of. [ rubbing his thumb on the top of it, before he slips it carefully into his hoodie pocket. ] I'll clean him up. You really slacked on his maintenance, huh.

it's like some hellish cosmic force finds all of this funny. probably does. probably satan, watching and waiting for the party. ]
Did you forget, after you killed it? [ what an unkindness, to grieve and then get slapped in the face when you remember the blood's on your hand. ]

Sure, Lavi.

It's not that bad, promise. [WELL

...Thanks. [it doesn't help at all, he thinks. it doesn't lessen the weight or make him hate himself any less,
but it's proper, he thinks. and it might help the others.]
Right -- [he reaches into his pocket and pulls out his golem, turned off.] Here. Figured you'd be the best guy to look after him.

Sorry...
[he doesn't say 'maybe if i had enough time to learn', though he thinks the words are implied anyway.]
...Dunno how he'll move when I'm gone, you might have to update his location tracker.

instead, he offers him his hand this time around. ]
I'll figure it out. Lucky you, I like puzzles. [ i like you, again, but a promise he'll take care of the golem at the same time. ]
no subject
Lavi hesitates -- but only briefly, before reaching out to take Kon's hand again. His grip is stronger and firmer this time, and he shakes it.]
I guess I'll just have to be the mystery that got away...
[don't joke about ur vore death lavi]
