once more and again

[Here's Milo appearing in a more lively area of the Astral Plane after this. Yeah, feel free to comment on the light show. Milo makes himself at home on Mu's hammock. He doesn't say anything, just figured he'd make an appearance. It's only polite to say hello to your friends when you come back to life after all. Or something.]

...

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Yes?

[lamb_of_gold]

[There's a very long, pregnant pause before Mu finally answers] A selfish part of me is glad to see you.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Well please, kill that part viciously.

I'm not so happy to be "alive." [Milo closes his eyes, seeming to sigh soundlessly.]

[lamb_of_gold]

Death is not something I'd wish upon a friend, but....this is cruel.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

No need for pity or sympathy. Things won't change.

[lamb_of_gold]

It's neither. It's anger directed at circumstance.

[auroredor.livejournal.com]

Are you familiar with many of the people here?

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Not at all.

[auroredor.livejournal.com]

What have you been doing for the months here?

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Well I was still alive. I had other things to do as well.

I speak to maybe two or three people here.

[auroredor.livejournal.com]

I don't plan on staying here long.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Where in France?

[contract_star]

[Walks over, silent and blank, and sits down wordlessly with his back to one of the stones.]

Hi, Milo.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

[Neutrally,] Back in town, like you said.

[contract_star]

I didn't mean to be quite that blunt before. Sorry.

...It can't be easy.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Don't.

[contract_star]

[Shuts up.]

[Then, awhile later,] Um. Your friend. He's here now. Camus.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

[He shifts a bit to look at Li. He's torn between feeling some kind of fondness and just exasperation.]

Tell me you didn't miss me. That was never my intention.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Ah, Milo! [Guess who's glad to see him alive?]

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Andromeda.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

You're back...[Cue slightly watering eyes, it's Shun after all.]

[leschath.livejournal.com]

[Milo winces inwardly. He doesn't want to deal with crying, this means he can't be mean or...himself.]

...yes I am.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Silence for a minuet] It was the same wasn't it? All of you died.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Yes.
