eighteenth pact ❖ {the other emil}

[Emil is on the Plane again, or rather, he's been here for a while; there's a couple batches of white-chocolate-chip macadamia-nut cookies sitting on the counters in the kitchen. Since that ceased to quell his restlessness and anxiety, he can be found sitting at the other end of the kitchen island on a stool, his feet resting on the bottom rung. A fat black and white hare snuggles into his arms. Really, who doesn't want to curl up with a bunny that has giant sharp teeth?

That, at least, seems to have worked, though he's still rather depressed-looking. But then again that's how he is all the time.]


I wonder if I'll disappear.

[ooc: One last tiny canon bump before the plot starts! Emil woke up as himself and not Ratatosk, told Tenebrae about his dreams, then overheard Regal basically saying they'd figured shit out. This led to Emil admitting about the existence of Aster's notes and the message Ten gave him and uh, everyone's kind of worried and mad. But mostly worried. They ought to be on their way to find Rilena now. :|b]

It's an animal. It came out of an egg, but I can't really take care of it.

[But giving things to a Niwa is against his blood!]

[Satoshi just nods, as muted as usual.]
I'll try.

[Satoshi doesn't feel right pushing responsibility onto other people unfairly.] It's fine. He mostly takes care of himself.

Did you learn anything from them?

[personal profile] ex_fatalist246 2010-10-03 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
[a pause] Good news?

[Satoshi picks up another cookie to eat, briefly considers offering it to Emil, and then decides he doesn't actually know if this is a good idea, because isn't the idea behind being comforted by homecooking that it's made by someone else?]

If you need help looking into it, I don't mind.

[his hands slipping into his pockets] Even if you're him, it doesn't mean you're not you.

Whoever he was, it's not like he was born real and you were born out of him, so you don't really exist. You both came from histories, and you both made your personalities. That's who you are.

By living, you became real. If you want to keep living, you won't disappear.

[Satoshi isn't sure why he is saying this, except that it is important, and perhaps the things that Daisuke and Kosuke have said have stuck with him more than he would confess. No one wants to fade away into someone else.]

[Satoshi nods, a silent acceptance of Emil's own resolve, as timid as it may or may not be.] Good luck.

I can't really cook. [Then he remembers what the reply is supposed to be.] Thanks.

[personal profile] ex_fatalist246 2010-10-17 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm fine. [It's the reflexive response, and he knows it isn't really what Emil meant. He's trying.] Maybe I will. Thanks again.

[Indeed he doesn't. As such, it is time to be cold and removed and emotionless. It is the Hikari way of dealing with a) crazy curses and b) awkward moments.] It wasn't anything.
