[ this thread is going to end up going a way, i feel.
anyway. whenever she sees buzen, maybe they are both running because lambda is doing her daily training and that just seems like buzen's default mode. lambda stops and gives him a look that he may not be able to see through the sunglasses she won't take off, but the aura is judgmental. ]
it's running for sure though, and buzen stops when she stops? he tilts his head before laughing - ]
Oh yeah! Funny how that happened. Ah well, we'll just have to rep it proudly regardless!
[stop being so head empty. he really doesn't know what it means.
also now that they're stopped, he does reach out automatically to take her hand - but then he actually stops? he doesn't know how much she wants to be touched? oh. hmmm. he looks confused at himself but he will just ask - ]
the way that his emotions went from a baseline level of head empty and pleased, but then it does two things: first his feelings brighten when he sees her, happy just to encounter her; and then they ramp up to something absurdly excited as soon as she gestures toward the bike
No? [the way buzen is a decent student but so many people just leave him be because they think he's cute as is,] Oh, and Hika-san got suggestions.
[but! he can focus! and when she frowns, he blinks a little bit in confusion. it's a little strange to have this turned back on him, and his things, when she's the one who just died? but at the same time, buzen still isn't the type to push. and if this is what she wants to discuss instead, he'll allow it.
even if there's a little flash of surprise when she says that.]
... did she tell everyone but me and Matsu, then? Jeeze. [and he sounds as exasperated, even if there's a little tense note in his voice] Rang told me why. Just two days ago.
[he looks thoughtful for a second, trying to figure out what to say]
I don't think... she meant to be cruel. At least, she didn't want to be.
[it's not a defense. not exactly. but holding these negative feelings at all feels wrong... so it is his paltry attempt at finding the light]
she makes a note to teach him to set passcode on his phone later. she will not leave him be because she thinks he can be better. ]
She didn't tell everyone. [ she talked to at least two who didn't know or said they didn't know. buzen can try to find the light and stay positive about it, but she can't. she won't. she was born from a muddy lake, and to a muddy lake she'll return. ] But even if she didn't mean to or didn't want to be cruel, that doesn't mean she wasn't.
There must be nothing in her brain, if she decided to tell Rang and me, of all people.
[ Rang is openly anti-human. Lambda isn't open about it, but she barely tolerates humans, which she only sort of hides by telling everyone to stay away from her. ]
[ wow! a barrier! before lambda can protest, a memory plays in both their minds. there's some static and a feeling of disconnection. it feels like a memory you have, a memory you know, but it's not a memory you've experienced.
meltryllis is so popular, you can choose a format!
but buzen will be at the park, literally running laps. he goes around and around and around and occasionally there will be a sudden burst of speed as though he's trying to literally run this body into the ground before he goes back to his previous pace - which was already pretty merciless
[he'll go to find her though, alone and away from everyone else]
Lam-san. Sorry - I thought he got over his hang-ups about it...
... and I know how important that sort of thing is to you.... so I didn't want you to get hurt by it again either....
[the way that buzen actually doesn't mind talking about kissing and teasing but since lambda seemed to have Feelings about it, he was trying to be a good friend and still fumbled it]
I know it's not my place, though. I should've been more careful.
[buzen will just breathe a little sigh of relief once they're back to the "present" and his emotions level out a whole lot!! when he sees lambda again, he offers up a smile]

buzen is also walking, rather than jogging, and when he sees her he just laughs]
Yeah. Though I'd say full or empty of ice cream, I feel about the same amount of helpful in that type of situation.

Yo, Lam-san. How's toda—
[which is when a pig noise flies by. faster. mem please]
no subject
meltryllis is so popular, you can choose a format!
video lp! (3:35:30-3:38:15)
text lp! (ctrl+f for "are you hiding something, meltrylls?)
or
manga adaption! which instead of meltryllis reminiscing after her conversation with chaldea's master, it's her sharing her memories with her sister passionlip. (chapter 22.3)
pirouettes away. which is kind of what lambda wants to do even if she's not ashamed of these memories that both are and aren't hers.
