[ Aventurine is very okay that she has nothing to say about that. He doesn't want to talk about it, but he did want her to know that no matter how unpleasant it was that she shouldn't feel there something wrong with her for feeling any hurt from it.
When she mentions the party and his behavior, Aventurine nods with a light sigh. He knows how that is to some level, even if he's been very careful lately about getting too easily caught up in it. He doesn't have any good advice for Lortel, because he already knows that the only possible way they can change Dazai to a level that they feel is positive requires a change in Dazai that's just almost impossible to hope for. He's one of those people that you simply have to take as they are as they entirely refuse to meet you halfway for anything. ]
Oh, don't worry about that. My lips are sealed. [ it's not that he cares less about Lortel than her other tethers; but as someone who has threatened others with harm even if for their own good, he has no ground to stand on. Pair that with the fact he simply doesn't feel Dazai is that kind of threat to Lortel.
Besides, he's quite sure Dazai won't kill Lortel. He's not so sure Dazai won't kill one of Lortel's tethers if they insert themselves as a not-asked-for 'solution' to a non-existent problem. ]
As for me, I'm here when you need me regarding him, but you don't need to worry about me making it my business, either.
I just figured as someone who has also been dealing with him, it might be good for you to be able to get it off your chest without having to worry the someone you're talking to is going to butt into your affairs.
... she's grateful. his continued consideration of her hasn't gone unnoticed.
even now, it's not that she wants to or thinks she could change Dazai. perhaps she's just realized this is an unstoppable force and immovable wall situation. they'll never see eye to eye. why bash her head into a problem that doesn't need solving and can't be solved? ]
Thank you, [ she'll sigh. it doesn't even occur to her to think badly of him for his easy and immediate agreement. the last thing she wants is for the people who care about her to learn about this. she can't say she fully knows what might happen, but if any of them went after Dazai because of this ...
... no. she doesn't even want to picture it. all she has to do is prevent it. ]
... how well do you know him, anyway? Have you also known him since the beginning?
[ she hasn't met anyone else who seems to know Dazai, or perhaps, seems to know him as well as either of the two of them do. ]
[ Aventurine has to stop a think about that. Even before he 'speaks,' she'll get the immediately impression that no, they didn't meet in the first dream. ]
Let's see... I believe I met him when our abilities first began overwhelming us. He was drinking in his own little self-conjured bar.
As for how well I know him, that's probably tricky to answer, but... more than I should, less than I'd like? Or is it the other way around...? [ he chuckles a bit playfully. ]
We spend a lot of idle time together. After Till left, Dazai was the only person I saw interacted with daily for a while.
[ he pauses as if considering before speaking a little more plainly. ] I don't... agree with his desire to die, but I understand it at least partly. [ not fully. if he understood fully, maybe he'd not be so stumped about why Dazai wouldn't accept his offer. Or maybe, it's not that he only partly understands his desire to die, and that he only partly understands Dazai despite the ex-mafia leader trying to make it like that all there is to him. ]
Is that what you're wondering about? Or something else?
