[ okay.........only because you tagged me with jae-ha 🥺

but hooray, they are both wet again!! yaoi prevails. hak coughs up a little water, shakes his head. how long does his long hair last, i guess he can have it for like ten more minutes. he finally notices that soo-won is in the fucking river with him. ]

Why did you come in here?

[recrowns]

[ DOES YAOI PREVAIL....

either way, soo-won is slightly more manageable than hak because he wasn't nearly fucking dying. he'll move to help hak stand and steady them both, reaching out to brush hak's hair out of his face because he imagines he's not used to it... ]

Why wouldn't I come in here?

[handfast]

So you wouldn't forget anything.

[ stupid. although....actually, why is there so much fucking hair. he pauses in their waddle out of the river to flick at it. ]

Is this what you deal with every day?

[ it's awful. ]

[recrowns]

I don't mind as long as you're alright.

[ and he wouldn't really have been able to stomach it to lose hak to the waters again for even a second. he'll start walking them back out of the river now ]

Yes, and I've been told many times today that I shouldn't cut it. I was told an almost equal amount of times I should shave it all off.

[handfast]

[ what the fuck ]

Don't cut it.

[ why was that reply so instanteous........ ]

[recrowns]

I didn't think you'd also have an opinion.

[handfast]

[ well ]

If you really want to cut it, don't let anyone stop you.

[ but there's something about the anime dead mom hair that makes soo-won soo-won. but they can stumble out of the river onto dry land. ]

Why were they talking about cutting off your hair anyway?

[recrowns]

Elysium made an incorrect choice for you before I could stop him and it seems like he was meant to discuss the benefits of being without hair... but if you want me to keep it, then I'll keep mine.

[ he had no plans for a haircut but like. even moreso now i guess. they make it to dry land and soo-won will just look hak over again, tilting his head ]

Are you able to walk? Tired? Should we go get food and rest?

[handfast]

[ sorry he is like 25% dead i guess but this is cracking him up. ]

Without hair? [ HILARIOUS. ] Wish I could have seen that.

[ anyway he shouldn't worry soo-won. ]

I can walk. [ his leg is still ouchy but he'll manage. ] I'll follow you.

[recrowns]

[ help... the way that hak's laugh at least makes soo-won relax just a little bit.

but it's really only a little bit. ]

... Let me at least help until we return to the manor, and then I can help remove your armor. [ like how hak did for him ]

So I suppose I don't need to ask if you know who I am?

[handfast]

[ time to start heading towards the manor.... ]

Some guy named Won. Likes to sneak out to places he shouldn't be.

[ this is clearly a joke ]

[recrowns]

Is that all?

[ he's hoping it's not a joke ]

[handfast]

[ kills you. anyway enough with the jokes. ]

Of course I remember you. I wouldn't be acting like this if I forgot you.

[recrowns]

[ a small smile. well, that's too bad. ]

Mm. I don't know how much it takes.

[ he'd think about dropping hak into the river more often if memories weren't such an insane roulette ]

I suppose we'll find out eventually what's gone. Maybe after you rest.

[handfast]

[ OKAY. KILLS YOU MORE. ]

Are you going to tell me what it is again? [ lightly teasing...but it's nice to know he has someone he can rely on here. ] What about you? You were in the river with me. Maybe you forgot me.

[recrowns]

If I know it, I'll tell you. But you've done an awful lot without me.

[ so who knows? there were like 200 chapters where they were separated ]

... I don't know. I forgot my mother last time. I still remember my father. So I wonder what it could be?

[handfast]

You forgot Lady Yon-hi?

[ well he did forget yona, so maybe that's not so surprising. ]

Maybe you forgot Joo-doh. [ if only. ] Or Gulfan.

[recrowns]

[ shakes his head... ]

... no, it's all there. What of you? Your companions? All four dragons? Yoon?

[handfast]

[ does a mental tally. shakes his head. ]

They're all there. [ wait a minute. he remembers something. makes a face. ] Wish I could forget one of them though.

[recrowns]

[ ? ]

Which one...?

[ he likes all the dragons, hilariously ]

[handfast]

Droopy Eyes. [ wait. ] Jae-ha.

[ that stupid SLUT. (and yet he still misses him.....) ]

....He was there where I was. Or some version of him was.

[recrowns]

[ this is going to pain me to write. ]

... I like Jae-ha. He's quite mature and resourceful.

[ thinks about how soo-won put jae-ha in charge of the expedition to the province ]

So I imagine... if it's anything like what I've heard these places could be... he'd be difficult as an opponent or a fallen ally.

[ lets hak decide how much he wants to say on it ]

[handfast]

[ SO TRUE SOO-WON, SO TRUE!!!!!! ]

He's the one who almost broke my leg. [ a little exasperated, a little fond, though both vanish almost immediately. ] Not that it mattered in the end.

[recrowns]

[ as they begin to approach the manor, ]

... what ended up happening?

[handfast]

[ silence as they walk and walk and then, ]

They made us play a game of chess. The pieces were people were knew. He was one of them.
