[what's up waver, here's someone who definitely is about to interrupt your peaceful time. jae-ha is wandering around, apparently looking for people and when he catches sigh of waver, he's just going to ask straight up - ]
[ peaceful and waver are two things that are never meant to go together, and this is no different. waver seems to be staring blankly at a glass of whiskey, as if waiting for it to give him some answers.
but when jae-ha appears, he looks up, his expression immediately shifting to something more serious. ]
I have not. Although I suppose that he might not wish to be around for much talking, considering today's events.
... no, but being alone in his condition probably won't help him much either.
[Or at least, that's what Jae-ha thinks. He sighs and moves to sit across from Waver, if only because Eichi should maybe have some more time left to recover.]
Both of them, most likely. One had a near breakdown, if not a complete one. The other must deal with the idea that people might go after his partner in retaliation for his suspected crimes.
[near confirmed.
but.
you know.]
Not even counting the fact that they actually like each other.
Is it that strange to get along with your partner?
[ he quirks an eyebrow. reyna and him have been getting along well enough, so waver hadn't noticed if the others felt the same way about their partners.
also he may be misinterpreting it because akeichi is canon ]
It's not - but it's an additional weight. Not only are their lives tied together, but empathy and friendship and... well, whatever else kids do are tied up in it.
[ there's a long moment of silence from waver. he wonders not about this so called 'war' but the holy grail war from ten years prior. if only it had been that easy to cut his emotions off...maybe the death of his king wouldn't have hurt half as badly.
but, on the other hand, waver wouldn't have been able to become half the person he is now if that idiot hadn't gotten so close to him.
considering both options, waver sighs and downs his drink, if only to help him numb the pain in his chest. ]
There are necessary weights we must carry at times, Jae-Ha. It may not be your time to do so, but for others it is.
he can hear it. the memory of the spellcaster telling him that all he does is 'criticize people from his high horse'. for some reason, he's starting to believe that it might just have some truth to it.
And he'll get a cup of his own and fill it with whatever Waver's drinking, motioning with the cup and giving a wink.]
Apology accepted.
There's plenty of young people around - I imagine your lectures will just probably do them more good than myself. So don't take offense to my question.
[ the laugh doesn't sit well for waver, and he actually groans softly; how he hates being made fun of. however, he lets it go with a sigh and a tired, bitter smile ]
Some say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but I wonder if that's necessarily true? [ but then he goes silent, in thought. ] Your mother must have taught you a great deal, though. Maybe it's time you pass her teachings to others.

Drinking to take the edge off?
no subject
[ it's difficult to take the edge off when the edge is as sharp as a meat cleaver, but sure.
but that's enough about him. ]
I would say that Eichi has his partner but...I'm not sure which one needs more support at the moment.

Jae-ha stares.
For a long moment.]
Did you just try to lecture me?
[He lost his mother figure and was betrayed by his partner in the very first week of the game. He thinks he knows a thing or two about 'weights'.]
Is that your natural professor disposition talking or do you always come off as condescending?
