[ this is? bullying? ]

There are worlds with talking flowers, you know.

[cyclists]

[yea it is]

Ahaha, you are quite well-traveled. How impressive.

[leaberator]

[ why does line always have to go straight for compliments....... ]

Is it? It was just part of the job.

[cyclists]

[(lune voice) kindness is only knowing your opponent]

Even so, you must carry a number of experiences with you. Perhaps with that in mind, I should not be surprised that you are able to carry yourself so well.

[leaberator]

[ LUNE PLEASE HE IS SOFTLY DYING ]

And here I've been told my posture's all over the place.

[ he is grasping at straws to turn this into a joke here ]

[cyclists]

[yea it's wonderful

lune will just glance over to axel then and

laugh quietly to themselves before taking a nice sip of their tea]

Ah, my heart is always lighter after I speak with you.

[they have a great time bullying him is what they mean]

[leaberator]

[ hhhhh ]

Thanks, I try.

[cyclists]

[a slightly fuller laugh at that]

You succeed.

I can only hope to return the favor one day.

[leaberator]

I'll be sure to go to ya if I need to be cheered up.

[ he says, with a dead child partner, ]

[cyclists]

I will hold you to that, you know.

[next time axelea is gloomy watch lune just appear if axelea doesn't go to them first]

[leaberator]

[ please it'd be so funny ]

I swear you'll be the first I go to when I'm feeling all doom and gloom.

[ he's absolutely not being serious ]

[cyclists]

Hm... What is the remedy for such 'doom and gloom'?

[they repeat the word as if they're not sure if they're using it right]

Tea and sweets?

[leaberator]

[ I've been reminded there was tea this whole thread so please pretend axel drank some of it. he considers Lune's suggestion for a second ]

... Actually, yeah, as far as remedies go, that's not a bad one.

[cyclists]

Oh?

Perhaps my understanding of humans is not as far off as I had once thought.

[they sound proud of themselves]

[leaberator]

[ he kinda figured, considering everything, but... he tilts his head ]

You're not human?

[ he wonders exactly what lune is, then ]

[cyclists]

[they sound flattered again]

Did I seem to be a passable human? Thank you.

[leaberator]

[ ...he's not gonna mention it doesn't mean much coming from him. ]

Yeah? I guess a bit weird sometimes, but people are weird in general. Plus part of it might be the hood.

[cyclists]

[let lune have this

though they sound curious at that]

The hood? Mm, we were directed that we ought to wear them.

[leaberator]

Yeah, I kinda figured it wasn't a fashion choice. [ they never are ] Did they tell you guys why?

[cyclists]

Not that I recall... I wonder if perhaps others would be kinder to the young one if his age was more apparent - or rather, more than it currently is.

Though in my case...

[ . . .

lune just starts laughing]

[leaberator]

[ uh ]

You're not gonna tell me your face is that scary, are you?

[cyclists]

Scary?

[there's a thoughtful pause and then

more teasing]

Would you like to see one day and find out?

[leaberator]

[ that one goes right over his head ]

Sure, if the universe lets ya.

[cyclists]

Only time will tell.

I hope you will not run away when that day comes.

[leaberator]

How scary do you want me to think you are, here?
