[off she goes! she will wave at sakyou when she approaches the garden. the vibes are: honestly sealed away in a box, like she's very purposefully exuding a sense of calm
It's truly fine though yeah. Sakyou nods in return greeting when she arrives, and he is making a Herculean effort to keep his vibes at a normal human level. They're still not good though, there's a lot of Mad and Sad and Stab happening here, so he attempts to keep a bit more distance than usual. But, with a gesture toward the garden proper:]
[she nods at that - the vibes are also very bad here. but she is, still, trying to keep them all locked up. but there is of course a feeling of Very Intense Concern for sakyou as she looks to him]
... If I may -
I wanted to say... thank you for looking after Catra as much as you did.
[Bad vibes bad vibes, whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they come for you...
DON'T CONCERN AT HIM THOUGH!! There's a little flicker of guilt in return, because he honestly doesn't feel like he did a lot at all. In fact, he was probably not all that great of a person for Catra to be around in general considering they shook hands strongly about Violence. He briefly averts his gaze; it drops to the blade at his side, and then the greenery as he sets off down the garden path.]
You don't need to thank me for it. I was only doing what little I could. [...] We understood each other in ways others might not have, I think.
[ . . . she watches him for a moment and the concern grows, but there is regardless a genuine feeling of appreciation and gratitude for him as she speaks. she does miss catra, that's also very clear, but...]
... She worried about being a person who didn't get along with others and I think - even just having that understanding can make a big difference to a person.
I know that it would make a difference to me... so I still wanted to say I'm grateful you had each other.
[It's hard for him to really grasp the notion that he can provide anything good in someone else's life, so the majority of his feelings on that appear to be apprehension and hesitance and discomfort. Still...]
...If you think I was able to provide even that much, then it's something that I'm glad for.
[He hopes Catra was able to find a little bit of comfort in what tiny amount he could offer, especially toward the end.]
[Do not behold him he truly loathes emotionshare week to his bones. HE'D RATHER RELIVE ALL HIS MOST NIGHTMARISH MEMORIES THROUGH MEMORYSHARE THAN THIS!! The mortifying ordeal of being known.
Anyway that's all to say he just shakes his head! And offers a somewhat wan smile, feelin very self-loathey in the bones.]
My apologies - I don't mean to make it seem as such. It's nothing that you've said. [A BEAT and then, awkwardly:] I can walk at a bit of a distance, if you'd like. I'm aware I don't make for good company this week.
