[ IS IT WRONG? He would genuinely be distraught if Rafayel didn't consider him one back?? It's different when a Wriothesley denies friendship as that's to be expected, but he'd thought they got it on pretty well…
Not that he's currently worrying about that when his plate's already full as is. You play such kindly characters, sniff.
'Also'…?
[ just says his brackets. he will not be talking about himself at this time. ]
[ is it kind or is it just having a conscience and believing everyone has rights.....
anyway ely doesn't want to talk about himself and hak doesn't want to talk about (soo-)won which leaves them at an impasse. just kidding, it leaves them back at their original topic of rafayel. ]
Yeah, a guy puked on me earlier. [ ... ] The same guy we were talking about actually.
But that gets him started so fast he almost hurls. Oops! He settles back down. Surely there is no connection between the equally awful states of these two guys who seem to know each other. ]
Wait, really? No way. We split because we both agreed we'd be fine. Where's he now?
[ do not point out how he is also a filthy liar because how is both when it's neither ]
[ instead of answering, hak simply gets up and.....leaves? okay.
and then comes back some two minutes later with a glass of water that he holds out to elysium. there are little bat motifs all over the cup. how charming. ]
Beats me. [ he is finally answering the question but unfortunately he only babysits children he likes and rafayel is not one of those children. ] He's probably fine though. It was because I was running too fast while I was carrying him.
Well. In the time between when Hak had left and now, Elysium has become a literal puddle on the floor, both surrounded by cats and buried under them. He might be suffocating. The cats… they have finally revolted against his unfair regime.
hak looks down, the glass of water still in his hands. then he slowly reaches out one foot to nudge at elysium's side underneath the ocean of furry bodies. you still alive down there, bud.....? ]
[ There's a pathetic cry, muffled beneath the chorus of meows. It sounds suspiciously like a 'help,' but what else could someone say when they're immersed in the fluff of dozens of cats? Isn't this the best life?
[ me immediately like i wonder if the weight of 98 cats is enough to crush him. probably.
anyway
Elysium couldn't produce a remotely intelligible noise before, and that certainly isn't changing now that Hak has dislodged a single (1) cat. Still! That is another sound in response. More importantly, he's starting to wriggle, like he's actually trying to break free?
Together, they were so strong. All it took was Hak leaving for the cats to grow this emboldened… Has he thought about that… Even if it was with good intent. ]
[ there is not a songle thought in hak's head other than it'll be kind of annoying if he has to move a dead body out of the way.
just kidding, he wouldn't leave ely to that fate. the warbled noises and shifting cats are a good sign, and he crouches down to help dislodge more cats. together with the power of teamwork, they can free elysium from his kitty shackles...! ]
[ Truly, no one wants to deal with a decomposing body in their choice of stay… At least, spreading rock disease in purgatory isn't as much of a concern? So worse comes to worst, there are plenty of abysses here Hak could easily throw him in. Fun!
I just felt like I needed to lie down, and that's when they decided to attack. [ He's sitting upright now, but there's still visible discomfort marring his features. One knee is drawn up to his chest, his weight braced against it. ]
[ first rabbits and now cats.....does this guy have bad luck around animals or something. though it sucks a little, to see him visibly suffering. if only yoon were here. ]

nudges elysium a little harder, enough to dislodge one of the cats. only 98 remain. ]
Hey, you okay down there?

After what feels like years: ]
You saved me…
[ he sounds so touched ]
no subject
actually, better question: ]
Why'd you let them win so easily?
[ meanwhile, one of the cats has gotten to the water glass and is peacefully drinking from it. ]
no subject
[ the implication that he defeated only a single cat ]
no subject
Do I get a weapon?
no subject
No.
no subject
that's fine though. he shrugs. ]
I could still do it with just my hands.
[ bold words ]
no subject
Go ahead. The arena's all yours.
[ The meowrmy. They stare straight through his soul with their beady eyes… ]
no subject
those beady eyes stare into his soul. he decides to pet one of them instead. ]
I just said that I could, not that I would.
[ okay ]

[ Shakes his head solemnly and narrates this. ]
no subject
[ not the point, but that's also not why he's back. ]
Feeling better?

… A little. Word of advice? Don't chase rabbits.
no subject
A rabbit did this to you?
[ how big was the rabbit ]
no subject
Yeah. The animals here? Most of them not friendly.
[ these brackets are so soft i'm soft. blows kisses to hak. ]
… But where'd you go? I didn't think you were coming back.
no subject
but by way of answer, he just points at the glass of water. it is now a third empty. ]
no subject
You decided to join them?!
