[It's actually Aradia's Quartz, but whatever. ??? emerges from the little barn soon after his name, leaning in the entrance-way as his cow follows him from behind.]
Hey. [He's not smiling, instead watching Draco thoughtfully.]
Yeah. She's my friend, but she also reminds me to stay calm. I'd probably go nuts without her. [Funny enough, having his cow keeps him mentally grounded when he starts using his Telepathy too much, just like how music helps him refrain from reaching out to other minds all the time.]
So you told me. [He remembers ???'s explanation of the cow very well. It doesn't help that he kind of looks awkward, shoving his hands into his pockets and hunching his shoulders.]
[A shrug, but ???'s moving closer toward Draco. He kiiiind of has the urge to punch him right now for looking like that, but he refrains. Maybe later when he's not around the animals. Their sweet little eyes don't deserve to see violence.]
Anywhere you want, I don't care. [He's perfectly fine with sticking around with the animals.]
[He just jerks his head to the right, heading around for the side of the barn to disappear elsewhere. If he has to he'll just sit on the ground with his back against the building and assume that ??? will follow him.]
Umm...A friend tried to talk things through with me, and I ended up trying to cut him up to make him leave. [Not...sound too proud of that. A tense sort of frown forms as he replays the scene in his head. Now that he's had time to sit on it, he really should have apologized to Lea in the end.]
But he didn't and I sort of gave up in the end on basically everything? So he put me to sleep... [A sigh:] That's why I'm not going to push you if you don't want to talk because I know it can get worse.
[...And that didn't sound reassuring at all. Man, he's bad at this.]
Probably the first part. She's just trying to hide it. [But that's just how Jade seems to work, so ??? shrugs.] If you need time, just come sleep over. Tell her you're training me in potions or something.
True, yeah...That probably won't go over well. [...] What if I tell her I'm kidnapping you for awhile? It'll be better if she gets annoyed at me instead, right?
[A smirk.] Doubt she could ever actually be annoyed with you, Sunny. [A beat.] On that note, we should actually spend more time together. You're still far too uneducated in the way of comics.
I think we're a little late on the "don't crack" front, but if you're planning then I guess I should help plan a few things, too. It'll be a good distraction at any rate. ["Thanks."]

You're really dedicated to this cow, aren't you?

You wanna go somewhere else?

You know...I kind of lost my head once here. [He's not really sure what else to say, but he does want Draco to know that he...gets it, in a way.]

Look. I don't even know where to start but I need to get my head back together before I go home.
no subject
To Jade or back to your world?
no subject
To Jade. She'll tell me not to dwell on stuff like always.
no subject
Sounds like her own coping skill, but her world is sort of weird about death. Kind of like this place.
no subject
I can't tell if she's freaked out, or if she's actually irritated. I'm not taking a chance until I'm back together.

Anyways, you're right. Guess kidnapping it is.
no subject
Can you at least let me know pre-kidnapping when you plan on kidnapping me? I need to get some of my affairs in order.
no subject
Just don't crack before I get to you, okay? I'll have to plan a lot of fun things to do.
[Which is incredibly rare for ??? to do, but hey. Draco's a bro.]
