[ what else could it be but the fujo spread.... hak really is so obedient right now and it's throwing soo-won off—but he'll nonetheless carefully undo the clasps of the armor. it's rare that he's on this end of things, but anything to help hak feel less heavy and waterlogged
though... the confession is surprising. ]
... you'd never.
[ just to make that explicitly clear. absolutely impossible. soo-won believes in hak just as much. ]
[ he says it half-heartedly, like he doesn't really believe it himself, but it's hard to completely shake off the bad thoughts when so much of everything else had mirrored what he'd known in reality. if things had been wildly different, if he'd been picked up by someone else as a kid, treated with less love and care....could he have done that? ]
"Could" doesn't mean the same thing as "would". There are a lot of things that people could be driven to do if circumstances were different, and there is a grand discussion on nature versus nurture on how a person grows over time.
[ once the armor is off, he'll just do a check over all of hak's injuries. he had too many. ]
But you, Hak, as you are... would never. Another version of you might have been astray... but that's not also to say that if you didn't meet the right person or get the right opportunity, you wouldn't change your mind and return to saving people as you always do.
[ all his beautiful wounds....all three (3)!! fuckin' stab wounds in his chest. can he make it four by the time he leaves purgatory, stay tuned. ]
You always did believe in me the most. [ it was a little scary sometimes, though mostly just inspiring. ] If it weren't for you, I would've been closer to that person I was back there.
[ jesus christ hak. are his robes still bloody. well. he's drenched either way, but the stab wounds probably distract soo-won for a second, his fingertips just barely grazing over the scar ]
... well, I think my existence just proves that you're on the good side of things.
[ isn't soo-won the evil king? he'll move to stand ]
[ you don't have to tag this back, i just need to give myself closure.
but also: what the fuck does that mean? soo-won who has never once done anything wrong in his life (delusional)? but they ARE both soggy and wet so new robes sounds like a good idea. ]
Get yourself a set too.
[ forces them both to waddle back to their rooms. ]
