Hn...

Hope and Maria are no longer in this world. [NOT SURE HOW TO FEEL ABOUT THIS.]

Why should I be sad?

You don't have your friends here anymore. Aren't you going to miss them?

Hm... Not really, on-- [pauses and then continues] both of them are some where safer now.

Oh. Well... that's good then, right?

Ah... yes, it is.

Okay, then it's alright if you're not sad. That's good. Being sad sucks.

[just a sort of agreeing sound. Because Shadow doesn't get sad, he broods.]

[obviously]

You could always make new friends.

[he can't be a jerk to a child, darn it.]

Hm, perhaps. I do have other... friends still here.

[yay!]

More friends isn't a bad thing though, right? That's what Alec always tells me.

I think that would depend on things, kid.

What would it depend on?

Various things.

Liiiiiike?

[yes, he's going to keep poking you, Shadow.]

The current situation.

[Yep, that. Not "if we get along well" or even "shared interests". It's "the current situation" with Shadow.]

... what's that mean?

[confused child is confused]

... How things around you are. If it's safe, and other such things.

[blunt]

'coruse its safe! I'm with my Papi.

... [short harsh laugh]

... what's so funny?
