chroma | catchall for damien

[countermeasures]

it's fun to not be canon familiar bc then i get surprised by cr

but it also sucks not to be because i have to wait to make visuals until i learn more through cr and that makes me more likely to forget to do them

[ what up. he comes to stand next to her to talk, but there is really nothing he can do to help out. also even if there was he wouldn't do it. anyway. ]

Nicer than it usually is, yeah. Places so sterile are creepy.

[countermeasures]

A little, yes. I'd gotten used to it with all the time I spent here, but... it definitely had a different feel than my clinic.

[...]

I'm eager to get back to it.

[highrisk]

Yeah? You're headed back home?

I kinda thought you might go somewhere else.

[countermeasures]

I have duties I need to see to in Daxing... and that's where my mother is, too.

Chang Geng understands that.

[ ........ hmm....... ]

Do you think we'll get some kind of way to visit afterwards?

[countermeasures]

...I really hope so.

[highrisk]

[ i don't know why he bothered to ask if he was gonna give her a condescending look for her answer but here we are ]

[countermeasures]

...what.

[highrisk]

Seems unrealistic, that's all.

[countermeasures]

And everything else we've been through doesn't?

[highrisk]

It's all been a particular kind of bad. If we're using the pattern to figure things out, that makes it less likely.

[countermeasures]

...are you just afraid to get your hopes up?

[highrisk]

[ today has been a fucking talk about feelings day, hasn't it. he should really be saying this to other people but. eh. ]

Kinda nicer to believe everyone'll have the excuse.

[countermeasures]

...Damien.

[ :c ]

We wouldn't just... not come to see you, if we were able to.

[highrisk]

[ mm sounds fake but okay ]

Sure.

[countermeasures]

I can very easily prove it if it turns out that we are able to, you realize.

[highrisk]

Eh. Good luck.

[ he doesn't think she'll get the chance. ]

[countermeasures]

When I do, I'll expect you to admit I was right!

[highrisk]

Yeah, sure.

[ anyway ]

Got any exciting plans for when you get home?

[countermeasures]

...well... my country might still be at war, and they might still need me as a doctor for the army.

So, I suppose there's that.

[highrisk]

Not loving your definition of 'exciting' but alright. Great.

[countermeasures]

You never said it had to be a good kind of exciting.

[highrisk]

It's implicit.

[countermeasures]

Not really.

[highrisk]

Why would anyone ask for terrible news about your garbage life?

[ sir, ]
