Ahhh, that's just another one of the appearance effects. Nothing to worry about. The first anime I was in was all in black and white, so it's a reference to that, I think.
No, I can't say it is. [She threads her arm through his elbow though, courtly-like.] It's not such an exclusive club these days either. Sad as it is to say.
[ he's not entirely sure how to answer that, because really, he rarely gets close to anyone, and there hadn't been any horrible events for him to accidentally trauma bond over in that first week. but dahut was someone he'd liked having around and liked sharing a room with, and someone who'd treated him with concern and kindness even though he was kind of a piece of shit who probably didn't really deserve that. ]
...Closer than I was to anyone else here at the time, anyway.
He was very special, I think. I know his heart worked in strange ways, but he felt for people. [Anyone who'd modify a mechanical heart to feel more had to have some sort of affinity for humankind.] You must miss him an awful lot.
[Sidon had mentioned something about all his brothers. It makes sense, she thinks, that he'd crave a little extra company even at night.]
I get it. It's easier to rest when there's good friends around. [She shoots him a warm smile.] I'm scared to sleep at all, sometimes. I'm always worried I won't wake up for another hundred years.
It was strange having Ashe there at first, but he was very sweet and considerate about everything. It'll be too quiet now, I think.
I wouldn't make you sleep on the bare floor, Totty, don't be silly. We could bring an extra mattress? Or put both on the floor, that way no one is being left out cold or made less comfortable than the other!
[ don't just say "sexual" and "adult" right in a row like that, even if you did prefix it with "non"... ]
I'd still have blankets and a pillow and everything, it wouldn't just be on the hard floor. I usually sleep on a futon instead of a bed anyway... but yeah, we could do it that way too, if you wanted.
[I'm sorry it is a plot-relevant device, i cannot be blamed]
That sounds fun! We should sometime! [When they're less depressed....or maybe more depressed. Hard to say.] I'd be happy to invite more friends too, if we could fit them.

[Her lips purse. It feels like she's prying again, is what it feels like.]
Sorry, I'm keeping you. I'm sure your roommate is wondering where you are. Goodnight.

[Something she should probably know. They had a list of roommates somewhere, didn't they?]
I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have said anything! That was silly of me.
[Then after a moment.]
Wait, so you've been alone this whole time?
no subject
[ he says this cheerfully but goes full black and white and is going to stay that way for a while. ]
It's fine, I just don't spend a lot of time in there anymore. It's kind of depressing how quiet it is, haha.

Rosamund's lips purse. She looks behind her, then over his shoulder. No audience? Okay great.]
Well. My roommate was Ashe. So I'm alone now. And I don't really feel ready for bed anyway. Walk with me?
no subject
Yeah, of course.
[ they will walk! ]
...Sorry, by the way. The dead roommates club isn't really the best one to be invited to.

Were you close with Dahut?

I'm not used to having a room to myself. I couldn't sleep at all for the first three nights afterward.

Well... you know, I'm right next door, so if you ever want to spend the night...
I mean, not in a— I could sleep on the floor or whatever.
