[Week 6, Saturday: Maya]

[purrtagonist]

[what else is left for any of them to do but wait? hey actually, does Maya still have Mario Odyssey]

Maya. . .?

[THIS IS NOT THE REASON HE IS APPROACHING HER BUT IT IS IN THE BACK OF HIS MIND]

Comments

[feytality]

[ yeah she has the switch on her.... maybe now she'll let him play the hat. ]

Akira! You made it through the last trial!

[purrtagonist]

[hooray!! he'll be nicer about it than Max. also, taking a seat next to her]

Yeah. Sure did.

[a lopsided smile]

It's almost. . . surreal.

[feytality]

The weeks really flew by, huh? And look at you! You got this far.

[purrtagonist]

[he huffs out a laugh, tone wry]

Between the many people who wanted to kill me, the fact that I was a Reaper, and the fact that I wound up-- killing someone myself, I'm not really sure how.

[feytality]

Dumb luck! Or talent. Either or.

[ thanks maya. ]

[purrtagonist]

Is it too generous for me to say it was a combination of both?

[feytality]

Maybe.

[purrtagonist]

Hm. Just dumb luck, then.

[he flashes her a smile]

I have you to thank, though. For being there for me every step of the way.

["for me." not "for us." that's purposeful]

[feytality]

Just what's expected from you!

[ wow. ]

Well, it was the least I could do.

[purrtagonist]

[WOW]

[can't say it isn't deserved, though]

You don't have to downplay it. It-- meant a lot. To me.
