Exactly. I’m a lot of things, kid, but nosy isn’t one of ‘em. Besides, I don’t fuckin’ solve problems, remember? I cause them. Wouldn’t do him any good even if I knew. [ snort ] Hell, knowing us, somewhere down the line I probably fuckin’ helped cause it.

[ It’s not only North who’s set in one half of a dynamic they don’t know how to change. ]

[ Theta doesn't respond right away, because he nearly replies with 'Yes,' but he doesn't think saying that would be a good idea. ]

Do you want to go back to sleep? I don't mean to keep you up.

[ South quirks a brow, just a little. This isn’t exactly high on her list of conversations she wants to have at ungodly hours of the morning, but that was one hell of an obvious topic shift. Does she care enough to call him on it? No, but she notices. ]

Ugh, once I’m awake that’s easier said than fuckin’ done. There’s a reason I didn’t want to get woken up.

[ It’s not as sharp as she might usually be towards him, and it’s also not a ‘no’, even if she doesn’t immediately move to stop sitting up. ]

[inner_child]

Oh. It's just that I can feel North's sleep cycle and we're going to wake him up if we keep talking.

[ownperson]

Didn’t say I wouldn’t try.

[ She briefly considers heading out to wander the halls for a while, but she doesn’t need any more space for her mind to wander. So she shuffles quietly as she can yo lay back down, staring up at the ceiling.

After a long moment of silence, she quietly speaks up: ]

...will you let me know if shit gets really bad, kid? Not... details, but. I do love him, despite how much of a fuckin’ hypocrite he can get, and... well, everything else. And fuck knows he won’t tell me himself.

[ Theta moves his projection to sit on North's chest. ]

Yeah. I will.

[ownperson]

Thanks. And uh—

[ She frowns. There’s an apology for everything he saw in her head sitting on the tip of her tongue, but it doesn’t make it off. ]

Nevermind.

[ And then she rolls over to try and go back to sleep. ]
