['oh, no.'

be cool be cool be cool]

U-um, just a friend of mine.

[don't worry about it (he can hold enough worry for two people).]

[sixillusions]

[Just looks at him like this]

[cumulative]

It... it'll make more sense to you later, I believe...

[he sure hopes!]

[sixillusions]

[If he says so.]

You're a bad liar.

[Kanda your inside thoughts and outside thoughts should be reversed]

[cumulative]

I- I can't help that...!

[sixillusions]

[Snorts because he's too rude to laugh cutely]

[cumulative]

[flustered little emojis

but a little flower also because even if it isn't a cute laugh, it's still something.]

[sixillusions]

[


Abruptly grabs his own arm, frowning]

[cumulative]

O-oh-- are you all right-?

[GOODBYE FLOWERS he's worrying again.]

[sixillusions]

Is it there?

[cumulative]

[oh so it's like that

mathis reaches over to set a hand on his arm, and nods.]

...yes. Definitely here.

[sixillusions]

...Okay.

[It's very hard to believe it, but he trusts Mathis with this, so.]

[cumulative]

I promise. I- I couldn't be touching nothing.

[so he's just going to leave his hand right there, and hope that helps a little.]

[sixillusions]

[Well, for now he can't feel anything, so he'll allow this and go back to eating soba, using his other hand instead.]

[cumulative]

[he's just sort of making sure he's okay with the one hand, while he does.

like he seems to power through injuries enough that he probably can function fine one-armed but still.]

[sixillusions]

[He can! He actually seems perfectly comfortable using his other hand. Wowie, the skills]

[cumulative]

[the skills!!

mathis will wait until he's done eating, but once he is:]

Um, I'm sorry if it's a strange thing to ask, but... I'm trying to decide on a name for a plant. What should I name a cactus?

[desperate attempt at talking about something Normal.]

[sixillusions]

[Animal Crossing ?]

Why are you naming a plant.

[cumulative]

I- I named the first one that Pestilence gave me, as well, so... I wanted to continue doing it.

[sixillusions]

...

[Why'd he name the first one...]

[cumulative]

They asked me to take good care of her, so since they were calling her that, I- I thought I should give her a name, too...

[sixillusions]

[I, Pixi, think Mathis is adorable. Kanda thinks this is weird and ridiculous. Naturally.

But:

Eden

Out loud, at the exact same time as his thought:]

No idea. Put up a poll or something.

[cumulative]

I don't want to... to make that much of it...

[more little flowers, though, along with 'i like that one.'

he's attempting to not call kanda out on it aloud and YET.]

[sixillusions]

[MAKES A STINKFACE, FOR SOME REASON]

[cumulative]

-what did I say?
