[ she truly thought he meant in something else? so she's confused why he BRINGS UP LOVE SUDDENLY? HELLO? ]
W-- Who said anything about love?! I don't need my love apprentice for this!
[ her cheeks are a bit of a rosy tint, but she sighs. she looks a bit resigned and continues on moving to their other subject. ]
...It isn't stupid, Junior. [ it's spoken softly. a hand reaches out to brush some of his hair aside. ] After all, I too would like to hope no one else will be brought here.
Maybe he's thinking of Uriel's trial too. He'd been there with Eto and Four. Kept his emotions tightly corralled, let them show in the end anyway. Because Uriel had forgotten like him, and Uriel had accepted judgement like him.
He knows that Four and Eto are their own people, and not given to sympathy or comfort. And Lavi thinks of himself as someone who doesn't really need either, not when there are other people who are worse off. But he has to admit to himself, that it's feels nice to have someone like Uriel here. Someone who cares, who wears her heart on her sleeve, who lets herself feel without criticizing herself for feeling.]
...I can do that much, I think. I've never been good at leaving people alone.
[ It's possibly why Uriel is so strange to most, if not everyone-- whether they are human, or a deity like her. Chandra probably won't be able to make sense of her, nor Scaramouche, and there was even some confusion on a certain reader's part to see how she would stoop so low for them.
To go against what she grew up with for the sake of those she loves. She truly is human-like, through and through. But that's fine. She prefers to be this way. She wouldn't change herself any other way. just as-- ]
Then you should never change that. [ a warm smile. because she is the same, isn't she? even those who would rather be left alone, like chandra, she quite enjoys the company of others. ] You'll make for the perfect guide person to anyone else that may join us.
[ she doesn't tell him it's because the options are limited here. Lavi is probably the least threatening presence to most new arrivals. besides maybe Uriel but Lavi gets along with everyone for the most part ]
If he likes Eto, then it's worth a try yes.
[ because yeah. she really wanted to smack him around on more than one occasion in trial. she can handle tsun behavior but during cases important to her, absolutely not. ]

Nothing! [ swats his hand. ] I didn't know what to think, but now that I know, I just feel foolish for not realizing it would be something like that.
no subject
[he's grinning, because he can relate]
I think you already know way more about Chandra than I do.
no subject
Mmmm, I'm sure. There are still some things I want to ask him but I'm not sure how to.
[ in any case, she waves it off. she got her answer in the end thank you. ]
no subject
What kind of things?
no subject
[ taps his forehead. ]
no subject
Nothing you can rely on your apprentice for?
no subject
No, it's only something I can do.
[ anyways, topic change. ]
...Are you worried about who it might be today? Who will be coming here next.
no subject
I'm your apprentice in all the ways of love!
[but he'll accept the subject change, as nosy as he is.]
...I'm hoping no one will, now that it's down to twenty. [he flashes her a brief smile] I know it's stupid to think that way, but I can't help it.
[lavi's disdain for humanity is always tempered by his desire to believe in them,]

no subject
...he smiles again, though this one is a little more sincere at least,]
...I wish the odds weren't stacked against them. Even if they don't want to kill, they could still just wake up like we did.
no subject
No matter who wakes up, one will die by the end of it. Just like with us.
[ it's only now that it's dawning on her that he would have witnessed her own trial. it brings back some memories, thinking back on it. ]
But, it's alright. Because we'll be here to greet them at least. They won't be alone.

no subject
[but there's a laugh in his voice as he replies, smile quick and bright. though it tapers off a little as he thinks, then he sighs.]
Might have to tag someone else in if it's Junhyeong though. Maybe Eto can go get him...? Since he likes her.
[he'd ask Uriel but he also remembers Uriel threatening to beat Junhyeong's ass,]
no subject
If he likes Eto, then it's worth a try yes.
[ because yeah. she really wanted to smack him around on more than one occasion in trial. she can handle tsun behavior but during cases important to her, absolutely not. ]
no subject
Z said he's a tsundere, so he probably does.
[zagreus has the forbidden knowledge of tsunderes, that makes him the expert.]
no subject
...I could maybe see that. But I feel like the "dere" is nonexistent, outside maybe his kids.
[ leejh's, not zag. zag doesn't have kids. ...she thinks ]
no subject
Lavi laughs at that though,]
Everyone's got surprises, huh? [lavi tries not to think about execution where ljh was traumatized by children, it's fine.]
Speaking of surprises... What kinda stuff do you want to ask Chandra?
no subject
... Why do you wanna know?
[ sussy baka SHE ALREADY SAID THAT'S PRIVATE ]
no subject
[SORRY HE'S JUST A NOSEY LITTLE LAD]
no subject
That's between Chandra and I.
no subject
Hehe, okay. Whatever it is, know that I'm on your side, yeah?
[SORRY CHANDRA......]
no subject
It's nothing that serious that you need to choose a side. [ a brief ponder. ] But, in the end, I may not even mention it to him.
no subject
You've got a lot of time at least, and it's not like he can run off by himself.
[except into the sky ig]
no subject
[ which is amusing. as much as he claims to suffer from her presence, then run away bitch. ]
..But, no. It may be something we will not see eye to see with.
