maybe i'm tired of telling myself to give up on you.
spent enough years doing it.
turns out giving up on your family sucks
even if they might deserve it.

and shit's different now.
this ain't zaun.
we have a chance here.
if there's no way we're going back
i want to take it
make something out of it
with you and vi.

it's not about you
it's for real selfish
i live in the now
make life mine whatever way i can
and i want that life with you in it
to do that i gotta accept you as you are

i know you can do better
be better
won't be easy but you can
when you're ready
but i accept you as you are now
and i'll see where things go from there

[opheliac]

ha ha. im kidding kidding.
but.
thnx, ekko. rly. this is rly nice of u.

[ekkoeffect]

hah yeah.
i've had practice with this inspirational speech thing
works out best when you mean it

besides
i'm still being selfish
do you know the kind of faces vi makes when you're sad
not putting myself through that

[opheliac]

she and ive been arguing thru our feeling bond thing.

[ekkoeffect]

not surprised.
you know she's gonna be all up in your business
trying to fix things
it's what she does

[opheliac]

yeaaaaaah.
sometimes i like it when shes smothery like this and sometimes i hate it.

( ... )

hypothetical question. if and i mean BIG IF.
i offered u a bond w/ me, would u be interested? not a blood bond but. a bond u can kind of turn on and off whenever u wanted.

[ekkoeffect]

[A bond? Blood bonds were something that left him Uneasy, especially the idea someone could be that up in your head with you. Ekko is more open and honest than he should be sometimes, doesn't try to hide himself, but that doesn't mean he wants someone that close. He's still working through his own feelings about being unwillingly dragged into other people's minds and dreams at night.

But that doesn't mean never, does it? Things can change. They keep changing.]

maybe.
not now i think.
want to have my own shit down first.
paleblood shit i mean.
but maybe later.
if it gives me a means of knowing if you need help
faster than an omni

👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

[opheliac]

yea no i get it.
a blood bond isnt what i was talking about anyway.
see.
vi and i got this gift from a friend. rings.
and u can be in each other's head. know what we're thinking and all that.
we tried it one time and it rly rly freaked out vi
so we havent rly worn it since.

but u know. u kinda already know how my head goes w/o needing the ring. so idk. i was just throwing a thought that maybe u can handle it better?

AND itll prob fit u since vi has fat fingers and all that.

[ekkoeffect]

[Rings that let you in someone's head? That's kinda freaky. Not surprising something like that exists around here, but there's so many ways it could be used against someone. Stealing their secrets, forcing someone else into their mind when they don't want them.

And here Jinx is wanting to use them to make them closer, give them a bond. A bond they might not be able to control if it messed with the shit Ekko already has going on. But on the other hand...]

maybe.
paleblood does shit like that on its own
dreams, minds, visions
it pulls you into all of them
i can't really control it yet
we might not be able to turn it off like you think

you cool with that?

[opheliac]

now now, boy savior. dont be silly.
risk and danger is all I KNOW!!
wheres the fun w/o that? hmm hmm HMMMMMMMM?

but like u said.
dont have to be now.

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe later. besides. i still KINDA wanna dangle u over a shark tank from time to time.

and knowing U, u prob dont want me to think that way of u AT ALL if hypothetically we do this lil pinky promise bond.

[ekkoeffect]

sure
lets go with that.
no point rushing if neither of us is ready.
later.
we've got time.

[opheliac]

hey. thnx for... hearing me out.
and u better not get use to it either.
u get one freebie thnx u out of me.

[ekkoeffect]

yeah yeah
i'll just wrack up you owing me favors
and use them for thank yous

[opheliac]

yea IN UR DREAMS.
i dont owe u anything.

[ekkoeffect]

just wait
you'll need my help with something
and i'll get those thank yous

[opheliac]

yea srry boy savior but i DONT need help w/ getting my hair braided.
just like im not going to help twist urs.

but its cute to know u'll be sitting there wishing for smth that will never happen. every day ur disappointment will fulfill me with satisfaction.

[ekkoeffect]

whatever you say
i know how this will go down
i don't need to do anything
it'll happen

[opheliac]
