[ APPLe looks straight at Lavi with the glasses stuck to his face. ]

This is yours, young man. Please eat.

[hiban]

[ he is absolutely going to give him groggily eyes by the end of thread. for now, though, he's going to be confused.

points to soup.

points to self. ]

For me?

[ don't question why this is a foreign concept for him. ]

...really?

[pomo]

... Please do not suggest if it is contaminated. This APPLe tried his best to cook, after all.

[ For the record, the soup is very edible. ]

So, yes. This food is for you. Hopefully it will bring you the energy that you need to recover from your... endeavor.

[hiban]

I hadn't even considered that until you mentioned it. An apple that can cook—who is also one of the professors here. What talent.

[ lavi will graciously take the soup from this APPLe with great care after he's properly put his book down. ]

Thank you. [ giving the soup a sniff before digging in. ] An "endeavor" or a scene? It's not like I intentionally got myself involved with what happened!

[pomo]

A scene is how this APPLe would describe it if it was your intention to get involved like that. However, I know that you did not. If anything, you should be resting in that box bed for several days.

[ Instead of being here. ]

If it is books that you wanted, this APPLe can bring them over.

[hiban]

Several days? I would go crazy if you made me stay in that box bed for that long. I like sleep but maybe in a different bed.

[ thus why the books are much better in terms of comfort...?? ]

And thanks, but I like picking out my own books. [ er. ] Not that I don't appreciate the offer. I'm not invalid just because of a little bite.

[ "little". ]

[pomo]

Young man, I implore you to widen your perspective of what you consider big or small, especially to the people who are worried for you. It usually takes several days to recover from massive blood loss, if not weeks.

[ binch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

[hiban]

[ ...

.... ...if he could be a bit candid for a hot second— ]

I hadn't thought that there would be people who would be.

[pomo]

[ APPLe pats Lavi's shoulder once and withdraws his stringy arm. ]

It is basic decency, and people tend to care about others.

[hiban]

I'm not implying that it isn't!

[ DON'T JUDGE HIM LIKE THIS APPLE. ]

It just hasn't been very long. I'm a stranger, even if we've been all sucked into the same mess, isn't seeing that I'm still moving around enough?

[pomo]

Again, we need to raise your standards of wellness.

[ He's judging a little bit, but. ]

... Though this APPLe understands if this is a byproduct of the environment that you were raised in.

[hiban]

It was.

[ he's not going to say anything about raising his standards of wellness for one reason or another. he will validate the apple's assessment of it being a product how he was raised. ]

You could say that I live a nomadic lifestyle.

[pomo]

Yes, the part with the panda and sleeping 12 hours a day. Has it served you well?

[hiban]

I don't really sleep 12 hours a day.

[ but he's not going to clarify how many hours it is. ]

But I'd say it has served me just fine. No lifestyle is perfect.

[pomo]

I suppose, if it's the only one you've ever known.

[ APPLe floats on over. ]

What are you reading?

[hiban]

I've witnessed plenty of other lifestyles in my travels but the one I have is the only one that I can live.

[ whatever the fuck that means. anyway, book. lavi will let the apple see that it'd be one of the less family friendly books exploring the cruelties of humanity. you know. light reading..... ]

And I was curious about how this "Father" would present this subject. Each place that I've visited has had their own way of viewing it.

[ and justifying their actions. ]

[pomo]

How morbid...

[ Not to Lavi specifically but also why this specific topic... lavi......... ]

Did you find anything interesting?

[hiban]

[ look.

there's a reason for this. fair tales are fun and everything but there are only so many of them he could read before he needs a change. ]

Yes and no; it's what you can expect to read in something like this. People who think they're going to do good but end up hurting a lot of people.

[pomo]

Rather than good, this APPLe thinks... as long as someone believes that they are in the right, they can do anything.

[ Look. He'll even somersault in the air. ]

[hiban]

[ he really would comment on if it's worth categorizing "right" and "wrong" but then he gets distracted. ]

Oh! You can do tricks?

[pomo]

What do you mean by tricks, boy.

[ Let him move however he wants?? Gosh. ]

[hiban]

[ lavi isn't judging?? he's just curious??? ]

Since you float around like that... Do you ever feel like doing tricks?

[pomo]

Pray tell, young man. Are there any walking tricks you have?

[ Dancing?? ]

[hiban]

[ the apple is making a point but also like— ]

Would you consider something like fancy feet work a trick?

[pomo]

Would you?

[ APPLe sighs, but he does twirl around midair and flips too. The collar cloth nearly smacks Lavi's face. Don't worry about it. ]
