[ red eyes glance up to meet his in faint surprise - don't tell them he can hear their thoughts, too? - but they're quick to follow it with a nod, a lifting feeling filling their chest. ]
... Mm. If you want.
[ would he miss them if they were gone? He might be the first one. Or the second, if they consider Phos... They wonder if Phos even remembers how they felt anymore. Not that it matters now; they walk over to stand next to him, timidly keeping several feet between them, as usual. ]
... Did Lune ever give you that "something" you wanted, Shess?
[ at that, they simply click their tongue. They're not sold on Lune's company yet. ]
Glue to fix my body when it broke. He gave me more powder, too. [ glancing over at him from the corner of their eyes. ] ... Not as important as whatever you got. All of mine was free.
For those who are used to fixing themselves up quickly, it probably occurs to them more naturally to do so. Humans are more likely to assume their injuries will last for a long while.
[ point PROVEN!! It seems hard to be a human and live in the human world. Cinnabar might be related to them, but the differences seem more numerous than similarities.
Maybe that's why Shess isn't so hard to talk to. They look over his way again, curious, tinged with shyness, as ever. ]
... You don't sleep. So on Thursdays, what happens to you?
I would, too. Memories are all people like us have.
[ immortals, that is. They don't want to lose any of them. They're not like Phos, who treats their body (and consequently, their memories) so carelessly. ]
[ that doesn't surprise them - it hasn't come up with anybody, but gem memories are easily altered, provided one isn't a particularly hard-to-break gem. The idea of having them changed or lost isn't unusual. ]
[ Is that what he asked for? It would make sense. They nod. ]
... Okay.
[ they're not going to push him for details. If the mistake was big enough for a god to step in and fix it, it must have been unpleasant. So that's all they say, lapsing into silence as they gaze at the flowers. ]

no subject
Yes. I completed the trade.

[ they won't ask what he got. If he wants to tell them, he can tell them - but they won't pry. Just having his company is all they want. ]
He's given me some things, too. At least he can be counted on for that much.

What did you get, if you don't mind me asking?

[ they nod. ]
... I thought they might just put you somewhere... or remove your memories.

If those were the other options, then I prefer the forced sleep.

Yes, they are. Even if some may fade over time, they're important things.
no subject
[ a quiet, curious look. ]
... Are you okay?

Nothing gets by you, does it?

[ what can they say? It's hard to imagine something like that happening, even if losing memories by itself is strange. ]
Can you get them back? [ a pause. ] Or maybe it's better if you don't get them back.

[he had a minor breakdown here but it's fine, nobody knew except for maybe lune.]

but with that line of topic done, shess is content to remain in silence and watch the flowers as well.]
