[stonefaith]

Date & Time: 02/02 morning
Location: Koltira's cabin
Characters: Bariyan e Kodhi (stonefaith), Martin Darkov (theguideless), Koltira Deathweaver (deadelfwalking)
Summary: awkward undead reunions after those pesky living timeswaps have left
Warnings: N/A

[ Bariyan knocks on the door. Then, expecting Koltira to be uncooperative, he immediately says: ]

I was going lock myself away for the whole day and drink, but I decided to come see you instead. And I will see you. You'll have to open this door eventually.

[ Bariyan pauses. He'd already started drinking earlier and had only stopped halfway through the trip here and he may still be a little bit drunk, okay.

He looks down at Martin beside and a little behind him, and sighs. ]

Martin's here, too.

[ you are not turning Martin away, please ]

[theguideless]

That one? [but...it's all janky.] I can make a better one for you, though...[he loses whatever else he was going to say with that, looking to Bariyan, blinking.]

Oh– [another blink, looking between them.] If you want me to, I can try. [looking up with thought.] I can write it down...[smaller:] That actually might help me better anyway...

[deadelfwalking]

[still holding the crane.] I would take another as well, of course. But I think I'd still like to keep this one, if it's all the same to you.

[stonefaith]

[ Bariyan glances idly around the apartment, trying to imagine where Koltira would put the cranes. To Martin: ] Go ahead.

[theguideless]

[his head dips a moment, feeling a bit self-conscious.] It's fine. But I'll make a better one, too... [so that sad-looking thing has something to look even sadder next to he doesn't seem like a cruddy gift-maker? something like that.

he folds his arms on the table, almost dropping his head against them, but thinking against it. he's not bored, just...all craned out, certain they'd just get sadder if he went on trying with an audience.

his mouth quirks for a second, thinking on how strange it is to be sitting around playing with paper after all that's been said and done up to then.]

[deadelfwalking]

[The cranes will be placed on his bedside table, of course!! He smiles at Martin's permission, and sets the crane aside for the moment.]

I'd be happy with whatever you create, Martin.

[stonefaith]

You'd better be. [ Bariyan raises his eyebrows at Koltira as if just daring him to say otherwise, but there is, of course, no actual threat behind his sentiment. Koltira might be sweeter on the boy than Bariyan himself is. ]
