[fontastically]

[That's enough to get him to chuckle.]

Thank you for your honesty.

[Oh, look, food's here.]

[third_liberator]

[ Ion is the only one that laughs at Tyr's jokes. That in itself is really nice. ]

Anything for you.

[ Now for this...egg and mushroom thing. This is Japanese food too, huh? He pokes at it with his spoon. ]

[fontastically]

[There's a soft hum in response as Ion continues to smile.

For now, he sort of shifts the side of vegetables before scooping some up with some rice to eat. The soup is going to be allowed some cool down time before he decides to shove it into his mouth.]

After this, could I treat you to dessert?

[Vegetables make everyone think of dessert.]

[third_liberator]

As long as you're offering...

[ Ion was spoiling him now. Though Tyr assumed he was going to pay for his own entree, having Ion pay for their dessert still made Tyr feel like Ion was trying to spoil him.

He was a really good friend.

Tyr looked down at his soup, stirring it with his spoon, as his voice dropped a little lower. ]

...About what I said before...

[fontastically]

[He scooped up some more rice and vegetables to eat and chews with his mouth closed as he lifts his head to look at the other. There are many things that have been said today and even yesterday but with things growing quieter it feels as though it is being narrowed down to something.]

Yes...?

[third_liberator]

[ Still just playing with his food here. ]

People who have died before... I...thought of it a lot, and...I can't agree with what I said before... More than anything...they should be here.

[fontastically]

[He looks down at his own food for a brief moment.]

What if they have no desire to be here?

[third_liberator]

[ This wasn't something he originally wanted to discuss with Ion - and he hadn't wanted to ruin their lunch either - but he couldn't stop thinking of it lately. ]

That doesn't matter... Whether someone believes they're alive or not, they're still trapped here.

[fontastically]

That is true but it doesn't mean that they should be here, either.

[He tries to get himself to eat more rice.]

[third_liberator]

...

What I meant was...they should be here as much as anyone else does... Not that...

[ And he releases his spoon, and his hands fold themselves on his lap. ]

Sorry... This has to be pretty irritating...for you...

[fontastically]

[He looks out of the corner of his eye before lowering his own spoon.]

I imagine that you are much more frustrated than I am. You only want to make a point that the people who have passed only deserve to experience life for a little longer.

[third_liberator]

...Right. [ He doesn't sound entirely sure with that answer, but it's all he says as he continues looking down at the table but not even seeing it. ]

[fontastically]

Would you feel lonely without those people?

[third_liberator]

...

[ He's not answering that question, and that might as well be a "yes" for all intents and purposes. ]

I... It's also that...I've been wondering...Is anyone is alive? In...their own worlds...

[fontastically]

[He should have expected that.]

People do get sent home and return with memories so I imagine that many must still be alive.

[third_liberator]

Or they just regained their memories...

[fontastically]

There is currently no way to disprove you theory but it shouldn't stop you from finishing your soup.

[third_liberator]

...

[ He nudged Ion's foot under the table. ]

Sorry, it was just something that was on my mind...

[ And he trusted Ion enough to talk about it with him, but choosing to do so was more than a little heartless of Tyr. Ion had suffered and Tyr probably just dredged up bad memories.

Now he went back to poking at his food to please Ion. ]

[fontastically]

I understand. There's simply no way of knowing for now.

[Unless the Lessor either willingly shares or some 'other' option.]

I'm sorry for not being able to give you an answer.

[He looks back over at Tyr with there being a small possibility of being fooled.]

[third_liberator]

You don't need to apologize for anything...

[ He was still just playing with his food. ]

I shouldn't...

[ He trailed off without another word. ]

[fontastically]

It's only natural to question this place.

[Ion turns in his seat to look properly at the other.]

Dead or not, you have done plenty for me.

[third_liberator]

I wasn't trying to do anything for you, so that's not an excuse...

[ He finally turns to look at Ion too. ]

...But thank you for listening to me.

[fontastically]

You said you would protect me. You give promising training and you're open to discussion. Maybe not right now you don't have such things in mind and you worry but you have done far more since we have met.

[third_liberator]

[ Tyr's expression softened. ]

Ion...

I'm grateful...for everything we've done together, too.

[ Now he turns back to his food and finally starts eating. ]

[fontastically]

[At least he is eating. That puts Ion at a little more ease so he can start on his soup as well. But it's soon he pauses.]

I'm fortunate you think that I should be here.
