He scoffs a bit.

"You can't just say the plants are happy too without seeing them."

He does pause at Jade talking about the locals here. Someone seems a bit disgruntled at the mention of them.

"I think they're annoying. Whenever I walk outside, they stare like I'm some freak. Yeah, thanks for coming out here, can I walk my cats?"

Dolph shrugs. "It's whatever. I'm more surprised that they wouldn't talk to you than me. You're much more approachable than me."

I hope he’s alright… it’s easy to get lost here.

(this is like. the third time i tried to send this. i jus ss'd it instead)

I hope he’s alright… it’s easy to get lost here.

[captdolphlaserhawk]

Dolph does not notice the compliment because he's reminiscing on the night the cats got dumped on him. His smile pulls into a tight line as his light tone is weighed down by bitterness.

"Yeah. It did work out I guess."

He wants to say more on the matter, but how does one really articulate something like that? Jade's not a child soldier, he's nothing like Dolph. He wouldn't understand Dolph's current struggle. So he just continues to pet Lucy for a moment, calming himself down.

Once calm, he continues to speak.

"They better, they have to live with me. I try my best for them, though they're a bit much. They like trying to knock down the cactus I got."

I hope he’s alright… it’s easy to get lost here.

gn :3 *kisses forehead and carresses head*

oh. uh.

[captdolphlaserhawk]

Dolph's eyes seem to light up a bit. Ah. Cat dad.

"The one you're petting is Lucas. The other one you were petting and baby talking is Liam. Lucian is..."

He takes a moment to look around the room, until he realises that the curled up ball of fur on the floor is Lucian. "Taking a nap right there. And this one in my lap is Lucy. I got her dropped on my lap, then the rest of them were dumped on me."

Dolph has a small smile on his face as he pets a purring Lucy.

I hope he’s alright… it’s easy to get lost here.

Dolph doesn't really know how to feel about Jade's reassurance. It was nice, but he definitely felt there was something a bit more intense to it.

"It's been nice. A bit hard at first, but I got it down. No complaints from any of them, but they like scratching my arm and face." He gestures to his cybernetic parts. Funnily enough, Lucas seems to be prepared to pounce at his reflection in Dolph's arm.

"They help with the loneliness."

I hope he’s alright… it’s easy to get lost here.

[captdolphlaserhawk]

Dolph glanced down at Jade's hand brushing against his, the feeling of it like heat flashes on his skin. He pushes it aside as he looks back at Jade, taking in all of his words. The intensity in his eyes fades, softening as he processes this. He nods. "...If you say so."

Slowly, a weight lifts off his chest.

I hope he’s alright… it’s easy to get lost here.

[captdolphlaserhawk]

Well, if he already fucked up, might as well go the full mile.

"You... died. You died because of my stupid ass pissing off Pagan Min. God, Jade, I'm so sorry. Out of everyone there, you were the least deserving of a bullet to the chest. It should have been me."

Dolph's speaking in a tone unfamiliar to Jade as he almost trudges through his words. He keeps look at him with this intense sadness in his eyes, like if he stopped looking at Jade, everything will go lopsided.

I hope he’s alright… it’s easy to get lost here.

[captdolphlaserhawk]

"...I've been taking it well. Best break I've had."

He glances up at Jade's face, and guilt washes over him. He can't help it when he blurts out, "I'm sorry."

He pauses, realising what he's done. Great. One minute in his apartment, and you ruined the mood Dolph.

I hope he’s alright… it’s easy to get lost here.

[captdolphlaserhawk]

Dolph joins Jade on the couch. bed. thing. The rest of Liam's siblings get on it, with Lucy taking her usual spot in her dad's lap. Lucian rubs against Jade's arm and Lucas hides behind Dolph. They both awkwardly sit there. Dolph is petting Lucy out of slight anxiety.

I hope he’s alright… it’s easy to get lost here.

[captdolphlaserhawk]

Dolph's four cats greet him first, meowing and rubbing against Jade's legs. One, Liam, even attempts jumping on him. Dolph makes his way into the apartment, trying to keep the cats (and his heart) under control.

"It's good to see you too." He looks around Jade's room.

"Nice room."

I hope he’s alright… it’s easy to get lost here.

[captdolphlaserhawk]

His lips are naturally drawn up into a smile. It's the first one directed towards someone in a long time.

omw Dolph makes his way up to Jade's room, knocking at his door.

I hope he’s alright… it’s easy to get lost here.

[captdolphlaserhawk]

I hope he’s alright… it’s easy to get lost here.

[captdolphlaserhawk]
