"Sounds to me like you're blaming them for not being sure how much you love them, when that's not something they could ever be expected to know on their own, no matter their self-esteem. Don't make excuses for yourself now."

That seems to anger Bloodkong enough that it breaks free of the lantern-capture and resumes striking at Red Son, gale-force. (The lantern appears to be charging back up, it'll need a second before it can do another capture.)

Bloodkong's staff shakes the ground as it hits behind Red Son, the wristband lets him dodge even one that feels like the world is coming to an end right behind him, close enough that some of the blood sprays him.

"Then it's the same situation he's got with Wukong in reverse. One party always pining for the other and waiting for their love to be returned. He wanted out of that dynamic, that's why I'm here. Why will you be different?"

Fuck, there he goes again.

Red Son has to move back again, getting space, and using that speed to its full advantage to try and keep himself alive. Throwing up a smokescreen of fire to keep Bloodkong from getting too close.

Blood hits him, but its easy enough to sizzle off, honestly.

"Because I'm going to talk to him. I'm not going to keep my mouth shut and hope the situation changes without ever saying anything. Did that once and it ended terribly. If he wants me to stop pursuing him, then I'll respect his wishes, but he's gonna know for damn sure I still care and I'd still be open if he wanted to give it a shot until he tells me its not going to happen!. It'll be different because we're different!"

Blookong strikes the ground a few more times, but he's moving slower. Like a toy that needs to be wound or a clock with the pendulum sticking. His staff starts turning into mist and vanishes entirely, his hand opening to release it as it goes.

"Don't be another thing that he has to survive," Bloodkong says as it pauses, and then vanishes entirely, its blood dissipating into the air.

Red Son is breathing heavily by the end of it. "I'm not. Even if it hurts...it'll be at least honest and careful..." He murmured. No grand abandonments or betrayal.

Just...

Words and unreturned feelings, if that's what it has to be.

Then he turns and rushes to Macaque.

Macaque is laying there without moving, but as Red Son touches him he'll see that he's just sleeping. Very soundly. He won't wake no matter what you do.

Re: CLEAR

[forgingfires]

Well.

WELL!!!

Hopefully he is...recovering then.

Maybe he will just guide Macaque's head to his lap and will groom his hair as Korone goes and DOES PIGEON GIRL THINGS.

Macaque seems to snuggle a bit closer... maybe... or it's just your wishful thinking, impossible to say.
