[ things they haven't been unanimous about, huh. ace kind of hums at that. i think it's funny that they are just clinging to each other on the beach and talking about this stuff. it's fine. hugging forever. ]
Anything else I should know about besides Danny? [ head tilted. it's a quiet kind of curiosity, and the feeling when he mentions danny is... mostly irritation on his part. ]
No. That's the main one. He told both of us last Sunday, but I'd already suspected because neither of you are very subtle. [ calmly. ] ...she's pretty mad at him still and I don't blame her. I would never blame her. But...he told me that it wasn't his decision. I think that changes things a little for me, but I know she's not there yet and may never be. Even knowing that, it...was hard losing you both at the same time and knowing it was Danny's fault.
[ he's feeling very neutral about that on purpose, tempering himself, except he gets kind of Angy when nico mentions it wasn't danny's decision, so: ]
Yeah, that was Tiger's call. [ DEADPAN!!! ] Or whatever mysterious being they were answering to, I guess. Not that Tiger was too broken up about it.
[ ANYWAY he shakes his head and huffs ]
... Look, I'm not a forgiving guy. I can't tell you what to do. If you want to forgive him, that's your call. Reigen's not holding a grudge, and I don't really care about him naming me. I was sort of trying to get caught anyway. [ ...sort of. ] Though what really pissed me off was the way he lied to you guys about it and pretended.
[ But This Isn't About Danny Or Tiger Or Anyone; ]
I don't think we've got to be unanimous about this stuff.
[ there's a sharp flash of anger when ace says that. ]
I'd wondered when he told me he wasn't allowed to explain further or he'd be punished. I don't care if another being told Tiger to tell Danny, as our "leaders" they should have made a better call to protect their team. That's what you do as an actual leader.
[ UGH. but he just...pauses and chews on his lip while ace talks because he knows. ]
...I'm still trying to figure out how to feel about stuff. I'd offered to let Danny come home with us, same as Nimona, and now I'm trying to figure out how to honor both of those promises without hurting either of them. [ there's a faint wave of sadness when ace mentions he was sort of trying to get caught because fuck off, ace. ] I already had that conversation with him, too. Amongst other things. We've talked a lot about his situation and I get it, but it's...complicated.
[ he frowns deeply, and the emotions flicker back to uneasy and nervous. ]
Even if it's not unanimous, I don't want to make things worse.
[ there's a hum and a feeling that's very much agreement at the first part. and definitely some guilt at the sadness, but we don't talk about that, because his emotions go a little nervous and sheepish and anxious then ]
You might not have to worry about that. [ and, god, this is about nico so he feels silly for even getting into it, but; ] ... If time's no longer frozen back home, then... if I go back... [ there's a flash of grief and nervousness and guilt that has nothing to do with what he's about to say and just the scenario, but: ] I asked Nimona to come with me, if she wanted.
[ because if ace comes back a week after he left then the war is over and he'd... be alive. ]
[ unfortunately the response is immediately so disjointed it's impossible to pick up on what the emotion is supposed to be.
but it's forced back into something calm and easy when he speaks again. ]
...oh. She does want that. She told me before she wanted to be a pirate and stay with you. You'll have Saya, too. So...you have to take care of them, okay?
[ and take care of himself, but he doesn't think he has to say that. ]
[ SORRY THE SURPRISE PIKACHU AT SHE TOLD ME IS REAL he did not think it was that intense a want she'd talk about it with other people anyway moving on he kind of feels very hesitant when nico's reaction is disjointed even if it settles ]
I'd invite you too, but you and Will kind of have a home to get back to. [ is what he says, first, a light joke even if his feelings are still kind of vague anxiousness ] I...
[ well. he shakes his head and kind of shoves feeling back inside where they belong ]
Besides all that, you're not going to make things worse by having different opinions on this stuff. You guys were affected in different ways, of course you won't react the same. Luffy and I don't get the same level of upset about the same stuff either.
[ casually comparing them like that because they are also siblings thanks ]
[ the disjointed feeling is because he does actually acknowledge they have a very sibling relationship and his first response was panic and being upset he really might not get to see either of them again. but then it was shame for being upset. and then happiness they'd be together and obviously relief and excitement about ace getting to go home at all and nimona and saya to have a new chance and wasn't that all that mattered anyway? even if it wasn't with him, as long as it's at all he can't complain much.
but his emotions are carefully being woven back into something quiet and kind of vibrating a little. ]
I already told her we'd be working on a way to figure out how to come visit other people anyway. We were gonna find your boat, and then go to Seasoning City to see Reigen and meet Mob. As soon as we get the stupid book, I'm writing our ending in it to make it reality.
[ but he shrugs to the rest. ] It makes her upset when she can't pick a side on stuff and I'm tired of upsetting people, so. I know how to handle things like this better, and it's my responsibility to try and help her. Even though of course you're right. It's just...how things are.
[ nimona's literally like a thousand years older than he is, not to mention actually teenage older, but he still has assigned himself as her older brother. ]
[ teasing. ace is just like anxious about life it's fine. and also worried about not seeing everyone else again a lot, so there's a sense of relief about nico saying they'd find a way to visit other worlds. IT WAS EASIER TO ACCEPT NEVER SEEING PEOPLE AGAIN WHEN HE THOUGHT HE'D BE DEAD FOR IT
but also, frowning with a little exasperation at the rest ]
It doesn't have to be how things are. You're always trying to take on everything because you think it's easier for you. [ bonks his head gently ] She'd feel bad knowing this was stressing you out, so just talk things out.
Nope, we were going to crash your boat into his office. [ hehe. but he just shrugs about that again and seems to be lost in thought for a moment. ]
We kind of tried to talk about the Hanako thing and it was just upsetting her so I stopped. And I know why it was upsetting her because I was still mad and she couldn't entirely be, but she's more mad about the Danny thing than I am because we know these people better and I don't know. Trying to be friends with everyone actually is extremely complicated. [ does not address how he takes on everything himself, they don't need to acknowledge that. ]
I'm not going to stop you. [ mildly. ] Letting my anger go unchecked usually ends really, really badly for other people and no matter how mad I really am I don't want to actually kill anybody.
[ ... ]
Do you think it's dumb to consider forgiving them?
I don't know about dumb. [ his emotions check with that ] It's just not something I can do, forgiving people who hurt the people I cared about. And they were supposed to be your friends, too. The way things worked out... either they knew it would hurt you and did it anyway, or they didn't care enough to think about how it would affect you, only about what they wanted. Are either of them actually sorry for what they did, or just sorry it's affecting how they're being seen by you now?
[ he grimaces and shakes his head and dismissises his growing anger because NOT THE POINT AGAIN ]
But that's me. I've done a lot of stupid shit I've been forgiven for by people who are a lot better than me, so maybe this is the same thing. I don't know.
[ he doesn't reply, but given that he's still hugging ace and he's staying quiet to listen to him it's easy enough to read that his emotions are mostly just. hurt. for various reasons. because yeah, that's the sticking point. these people were supposed to be his friends, but at the same time he kind of knew the nature of the beasts. he was aware they were both a little malicious and didn't think like normal people and had a whole lot of hang-ups and not a lot of morals. so maybe that was his own fault for bothering to try trusting things.
he knows for both hanako and danny it's the latter. neither of them cared enough to think about how it would actually affect things because neither of them are that great about thinking ahead. he can't speak for hanako, but he thinks danny might actually be sorry because of some things he's talked about. even then he's not...sure.
that's what this all is. he's not sure still. so he nods softly to show he's listening, and he doesn't reply immediately. ]
I don't really know either, I guess. Maybe that's what it all comes down to. But it's not like it'll stop me from working with either of them to finish everything anyway.
[ the emotions there are angry on nico (and other people's) behalf right now but also like. trying to be patient. this does not come naturally ]
Mm. Yeah. We've got a couple of days where you have to sort of swallow it down and work as a team until that stupid moon is gone. [ Irritation at the moon and kind of feeling tired at things. the you there is Generic you, really. ] I think forgiving people is something you have to decide if you want to do or not, you can't force it. But I don't think it's necessary even with all this. Just... professional distance or whatever.
[ another flare of tired, so, deadpan: ]
The emotion thing makes it harder than it should be.
[ ....... pets nico's hair a bit in the hug like tentative ]
[ there's another flicker of affection with the hair pets, like someone who kind of really welcomes the touch but doesn't know how to ask for it from other people. but there's another nod.]
I'm getting very tired of having things shared that I would like people to not know. First it was memories, and then thoughts, and now this. It's really annoying. [ let him hide behind his bitchiness!!! ] I'm so sick of the moon and we haven't even fought it yet. But it's the one thing that helps focus on not fighting other people or I might have to fight a few others, too. Lillium told me a few more details about what happened to him. So I also have a third person to stay away from for a little bit until it's less obvious I'm mad.
[ okay emotionshare sucks but also it's a cheat code because he's like tentative tail wag at getting affection back at the pets and does it more.
the next emotion is like Ah ]
Temenos? Lillium was pretty pissed, and Tem definitely didn't share with anyone that he helped. [ this is an easy guess because he knows temenos. ace's feeling there is understanding and also the kind of quiet That's What I Thought You'd Do You Dumb Bitch but not angry, though he doesn't blame nico for being angry. ] Good plan. He's probably exhausting to get angry at.
[ he doesn't know if the joke will help but he still makes it ]
[ emotionshare is so terrible because it's just. a dumb feedback loop of >gib affection >tentatively expresses enjoyment >tentatively gib more while also enjoying it??? especially since it means he's leaning a little more into ace's hand. will's the one who really kind of made him notice he likes having someone pet his hair and he tries not to think about the part where this was probably something he got a lot as a child when maria and bianca were both still alive. ]
Tigers, Ace. [ so yes. temenos. ] Temenos specifically made it sound as though Kogitsunemaru was the one with the drum and the one who lured Lillium into the pen after fighting him. He apologized to me for what happened to Lillium and blamed Kogitsunemaru. [ grumpy. ]
...I can't be mad anyway because Nimona really likes him, too. [ the joke does hit though because there's the very faintest hint of amusement. ]
[ yeah this is absolutely the loop because he leans into it and ace pets more with just the kind of soft fond happy feeling. sibling coded. etc. literally sibling coded because he's done this for like, luffy and uh a four year old ]
Yeah, Lillium had to reassure me he really was dead by the time they left him to the tigers. [ HE GOT. WORRIED. HE WAS EATEN ALIVE. exasperation feeling ] You should let him have it for lying, at least. He knows when he's being a shithead. I think he wants people to call him out?
[ the feeling there is ? exhaustion. he likes tem because he likes weird people, but. ]
It's one thing to not pick a fight with people for her sake, but you shouldn't hold back from being mad at all. [ ace chilled himself out a lot for luffy, so he understands why nico doesn't want to go around going bark bark!! at everybody tho ]
[ likewise he's done this for both his actual sister and nimona so you know what. sibling-coded. he is more than okay with this because the vibes settle into fond and relaxed and...safe, probably. ]
I didn't even bother asking because I feel like Lillium would sooner stab a tiger than be eaten alive. That doesn't make it any less pleasant. They could have let him die decently without being mauled further. At least we gave Albedo a proper burial. [ we, as if he had anything to do with that. ]
...I might still. I'm deciding who I do and do not want to be mad at or if I should save all of my frustrations for the moon and other things. Lillium kind of said it wasn't as big of a deal now that he made it back and I agree but it's still...frustrating. It's the same problem where it feels harder to trust outside people because everybody has their own plans.
[ outside people are people who are not in the jailbreakers or that he personally got close to. ] And I don't know if I can be that mad when Rabbits needed to kill and maybe I just didn't ask the right questions in the end.
[ hums because ace moved sigrun away from the fire for that reason, laid her to rest elsewhere, but ace wasn't trying to get away and it's hard to guess what other people were thinking. also, nico says we and ace kind of nudges him. you weren't there you rascal.
also you have no idea how like, pleased he feels at nico feeling safe, horrid ]
I dunno. I think Tem should've been honest with you after the trial, at least, but I don't think he does honest. Not really. [ there's no real judgment on either side there. ] Whatever it is, it shouldn't have been on you asking the right questions. Even if it's not a big deal, just airing it out might be good.
[ there's some like. self-deprecation: ]
But I'm the kind of guy who'd yell at anyone over their decisions, so maybe I'm not the right one to ask. I got into plenty of arguments with Pops. [ grief/guilt/love briefly, there, just at that mention ]
[ he ignores the nudge and makes a little face because he was not there, but it was his team!! he done knew!! also good he should be pleased by this. ]
It's even stupider because he approached me to apologize and because he figured out that I knew about Lillium before the trial even started. I don't mind if he doesn't really do honest. I do mind when it comes to me because I would rather not waste my time playing games with people. [ bluntly. ] If other people want to play mind games, fine. But I'm not participating.
[ so instead he will simply bitch about it and be grumpy. ]
...I mean I've gotten into way too many arguments with Hades because he refused to listen to me or budge on his own decisions. I think that's like the only normal thing about our relationship. [ fighting with your parents/parental figures...a fulfilling pastime. the mood dips to something still agitated but also...faintly wistful. he does still miss home. ]
That's why I'm saying you should call him out. [ ace is also not into mindgames, but it's because he is kind of a blunt guy himself. anyway hugs and pets for the grumpy boy, but nico's feeling wistful about hades and ace is still a little jii about the guy from nico's flashbacks, though it's just a blip of Hrm feelings ]
Maybe it is normal. Maybe your dad is kind of an ass. [ so he makes the joke but he is teasing about it instead of 100% angy ] I've spent most of my life being called a brat even after adulthood, maybe don't follow my lead on these things.
We'll see if it's worth the effort. If he continues to feign innocence I just might. [ ... ] ...he's one of the few people who knew about Will's backlash, too.
[ which is something he still has mixed feelings on even if he doesn't entirely elaborate why. still. he feels the jiiiii about hades and he kind of hides a grin in ace's shoulder because it's funny and...nobody has really expressed those kinds of feelings about hades on nico's behalf except for jason todd in a whole other timeline. ]
My father is definitely kind of an ass. [ easily agrees. ] But he truly has gotten better despite our differences still. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, by the way. All it means is that you have strong opinions and weren't afraid to express them.
[ no, it means ace was a fucking brat and in hindsight 10 year old ace is still hysterical. ]
[ YEAH ABOUT THAT there's kind of guilt and worry and he sort of noogies nico gently ]
Yeah, you could've told me about that! [ HE ALREADY DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE WILL HEAL HIM WHY WOULDN'T YOU TELL HIM. he's not actually mad and he gets why he wasn't but. goddamn. this was a thing to Learn.
he does not say anything about the brat thing because he does have strong opinions and he is absolutely terrible but it's fine and 10 year old ace exists in all our hearts even if the post doesn't ]
