Characters: Sis Strider & Dave Strider
Format: Prose
This log is: Closed.
Location: In town, on Rest day.
Summary: This is a beautiful sibling log.
Warnings: Idk, none.

Saturday afternoon makes almost two weeks Sis hasn't spoken a word to Dave. Which makes walking into town awkward today. She knew she hadn't the slightest of what to say to him, and she was showing up completely unannounced. She had been having a feeling that after the previous round in Conquest, Dave would either be relieved to see her or she didn't really know. This was just extremely awkward.

Approaching the building was even harder. She thumbed her PDA and thought about sending him a text. But that wasn't happening. It was going to stay unannounced, fuck if Dave didn't want to see her or something.

Nonchalant as ever, Sis pushes open the door to the music shop and leans on the counter. She tutted at the the fact Dave wasn't attending the front of the shop at the moment. Dave will be hearing a rapping on the counter as his sibling rings the service bell.

He makes a bit of a face at her. It's not like he tries. Just the general populace here is made up of a whole lot of girls apparently.

Dave instinctively reaches out to take his glasses back, but stops. Mostly because, he can't figure out why they were so important. It's not like Sis would trash them right? Those were his. She wouldn't trash his shit. Even if it was stupid as fuck, she still wouldn't.

Although that didn't stop him from picking his PDA up so he can ask what she was going to do with them.

A clatter.

He had dropped it just as quickly. His whole body went rigid at the mention of the lake. The look of fear was unmistakable. Did she know? She couldn't have known. Not that many people know, unless he told them personally...

[smupette]

Sis would certainly not trash them, she was simply going to fix them for him. She was trying to do a nice thing, you know, that was nice! She can't figure out why the little man wouldn't want to wait it for them to be fixed.

Her brow was raised after he dropped the PDA however. Something was definitely up. No, she didn't know a damn thing- but she was about to. Dave had gone stiff, and what the flying fuck do you do when your child does this? Not expect something to be wrong?

"Dave." She stepped closer, standing behind him and gently putting her arms around him, is this what you do? "I know something is wrong now. You don't just act like this for nothing."

He didn't do anything for the longest time. He just say there, enveloped in Sis' arms. He finally typed something back into the PDA, leaving it to rest on the table. She could probably see it from where she's standing.

She lifted the PDA to read it again. The only response was her moving around to hold him for real. It was okay now if he needed to cry or something. She wasn't even going to make him talk about it. It was part because she didn't know how to deal with a child that died, and all the same came back to life.

"I can offer solutions, Dave."

if you mean learning how to swim
im already on it
kind of

He should talk about it, but he probably really won't. Talking about dying was never a strong point, and despite it being more normal for him, it was still something he couldn't bring himself to acknowledge.

But at least she's trying to comfort him. That's something.
