[ anders can be found today in the relaxation area, doing an absolutely fucking horrible job of relaxing, pacing around like a caged animal at the windows - occasionally sitting down only to immediately get back up again to keep pacing.
lady the kitty cat is doing an outstanding job of relaxing on one of the massage chairs and purring nearby.
say hi to the total guy clearly having a bad one?]
[ Normally, he would be a similar person where he'd pace around anxiously or he would vibe awfully in a corner for no one to talk to him, but that isn't him. He's in Allstars matching sweats, and... Uh. ]
... Anders.
[ Said hesitantly, like it's foreign on the tongue. ]
[ he used to be medieval like you... sorry, smallclothes brother. There's little recognition when Anders mentions Wis, so it should be obvious when he delivers this. ]
Nothing at all. It may as well never happened to me. [ ... ] You weren't close to him, were you? I suppose I should say "me" here.
[ Incredulous....... You would take advantage of someone who wouldn't know what happened, but you know what he thinks it's funny in the absurdity in his situation. He lets out a short laugh. ]
And what? We owned four magical dogs, but you complain you wanted cats or something?
[ He does not care to judge or check out your boots, but it's in his Italian blood to judge the quality of your shoes always, so his gaze does drop to see.
I guess they're okay. There's a small frown at the mention of forgetting, but it's fine. ]
This is your chance at a do-over if in the case you made a fool of yourself before.
[ well. sort of in the infirmary. most of his worst injuries are hidden by clothes, though there is a darkening bruise at his temple and spreading down the side of his face, a slash across the cheek from the spur, and then, of course, the left arm entirely missing from the elbow down. that's been wrapped up tightly for now, the sleeve folded over it.
by the time jacopo shows up, anders is guilty sneaking his way out and down the hallway, though he's definitely limping heavily. ]

... Jacopo?
no subject
... Anders.
[ Said hesitantly, like it's foreign on the tongue. ]
Hey.
no subject
[ that does seem like a comfortable fit. maybe anders should take a lesson from him. just get total amnesia and embrace athleisure. ]
Will you take offense if I say you seem quite ... different?
no subject
I had a change of clothes. [ He knows that isn't what he means. ] At this point, I'm used to the reaction.
no subject
You know that isn’t what I mean. [ giving him a long up and down look, frowning. ] I’d say it’s a case like Wis’adel, but … What do you remember?
no subject
Nothing at all. It may as well never happened to me. [ ... ] You weren't close to him, were you? I suppose I should say "me" here.
no subject
Oh. Yes. We were deeply in love.
no subject
And what? We owned four magical dogs, but you complain you wanted cats or something?
no subject
There is no possible world in which we would own four dogs.
no subject
Hm. He has a weird feeling here. ]
You're not going to get me into this argument.
no subject
It's only the truth. I would never tolerate it. So, unfortunately, I don't think we can actually be in love. My apologies.
no subject
[ It's funny, he thinks, and since it's affection week he pats Anders on the shoulder. ]
Anyway... It'd be better if we didn't know each other well back then.
no subject
[ is he some kind of noble who can afford multiple sets of clothes? untold wealth and luxury? ]
Would it?
no subject
[ he cannot sugar baby you in this setting but they cannot live this way ]
It would. What we can have now is all it can be.
no subject
anyway he seems kind of amused at this statement from jacopo, nodding along.]
True enough. Not such a bad thing overall. First impressions aren't everything if the other person forgets he's ever met you.
no subject
I guess they're okay. There's a small frown at the mention of forgetting, but it's fine. ]
This is your chance at a do-over if in the case you made a fool of yourself before.
[ He offers a hand to shake. ]
no subject
Interesting to meet you, Jacopo.
no subject
Don't make me take back the pleasure.
W0 : SUNDAY

no subject
Anders.
[ Can we guess the tone used here? ]
no subject
no, he knows it is chiding, but he is stubbornly continuing. leaning heavily on the wall with his remaining arm. ]
... I want to see my cat.
no subject
[ Comes over to see him lean on the wall, thinking... ]
Would you like support?
no subject
The arm will recover, apparently. I just need to be patient. But it makes it difficult in the mean time.
no subject
Lean on me however you'd like then. I don't want to pull you around and worsen anything.
W5 : MONDAY
no subject
no he's still here unfortunately for everyone. ]
I got your letter, actually. Just now. Very kind of you.
no subject
... I wrote that in believing I won't see you for some more weeks.
no subject
We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to! I'm only saying it was nice.
no subject
There's not much to talk about there.
[ Despite his stern reaction, IT IS OBVIOUS IN HIS EMOTIONS he is INCREDIBLY EMBARRASSED. ]
I was going to ask how you fare, but I can basically see it on your face, Anders. It must mean I have nothing to ask.
no subject
[ scoffing, but yeah, his emotions are on the whole quite good. for once? ]
It's interesting to be back. I can't say I expected it.
