Week 3, Day 2 -- Mithos

[overworker]

[ It had taken Towa some time to consider what she should really do with the things she's learned. In the end, there's really very little that she can do about it. But it wasn't like she knew from the start how much to believe. Their memories had been sketchy from the start, being static in places and completely gone in others. It was entirely unnatural. So it seemed fine to doubt it. But...

Locking it all away wasn't possible either. And ignoring it completely-- was like lying to herself. She was worried. Really worried.

And after what she'd said before, she felt like there was at least one person she should share the truth with. ]

Mithos? Sorry if I'm bothering you. Do you have a minute to talk?

It's okay to not be certain. It's not easy, I know.

No one can say that they'll be there forever. That's... just part of life. And where we are now, the risks are even greater. That's the truth.

But none of us are going down without a fight. And I don't want you to either.

Even if something happens to me, I'm always going to be there for you. Martel too. Those precious memories that you hold close to your heart can be your strength someday too.

[ Mithos is quiet for a moment. The idea of something happening to Towa hurts, and it's very likely because she's like a sister figure. Just like Martel. But eventually he slowly nods. If Towa wants him to try then he'll try.

Just like how he tried because Martel told him to. ]

You're right ... I won't go down without a fight... But can you promise me that you won't, either?

Even if we can't be together forever, I'd at least want to stay here with out until we're out.

[ He doesn't want to to become a memory too soon ... ]

[overworker]

Heehee. I promise. I might be small, but I did attend a military school. I'm mightier than I look.

[After all, she wants that too. If she could, she'd like them all to be able to stay together like this until they could find their way home again. And with all their precious people with them.]

But let's make it official.

[Giggling, she holds up her pinky finger.]

[eternaldivide]

[ Mithos laughs lightly at that ]

I don't doubt that! I'm not much taller than you, but I'm not someone that should be underestimated either.

[ When Towa raises his pinky Mithos' eyes widen slightly. An official promise ... alright ... he can do that. ]

.. Right!

[ He'll hold up his and connect it with Towa's pinky ]

It's a promise.
