ღ don't need cars cause we've learned to fly on saturn

[anythingforyou]

[The Galactic Building is certainly one of the odder places to spend some time at, but it seems to be what some have agreed to do. It'll be interesting, if nothing else; a place that originally served to remind them of how far they were from home, being a place they willingly stayed at? It was almost unthinkable, but here we are.

Once the ordeal is finished, Camilla and Ignis are once again off into the kitchen; a long day like this deserves some good meals to go along with it. The stuff they have to work with is certainly...interesting, if nothing else; hopefully nobody minds eating vegetarian tonight, because that seems to be what the menu is comprised of tonight. Hopefully nobody minds eating their vegetables!

Get some rest, everybody; it's been earned after all that's happened today.]

...Do you need a bit extra? I mad a bit to spare just in case.

[he can definitely hear that whole-ass menagerie]

[semistableman]

[Bucky chuckles quietly.]

Yeah, I wouldn't mind a little more. They'll probably try and eat that too, though.

[discutio]

I can do that. Just a moment.

[He offered a hesitant smile before heading back to the kitchen with Hemera, returning a moment later with a second dish.]

[...Funny enough, everything Ignis had cooked from day one had been vegetarian already, so the lack of meat in the kitchen hadn't even really registered.]

[semistableman]

[The lack of meat is a good thing, as far as Bucky's concerned. He's not really here for eating Pokemon, after all.]

I'll be here.

[Ignis is definitely getting some raucous noise from Henrietta and Donny, who have definitely perked up at the idea of more food.]

[discutio]

[kids please settle down...]

Here--mind if I join you for a while?

[semistableman]

Not at all.

There's plenty of room, even with these guys crowding me.

[discutio]

Appreciated.

[he'd just slide into a seat with hemera sitting next to him. boy he sure doesn't look tired no sir everything's Great]

...Are you alright?

[semistableman]

[They're both exhausted. It's not entirely a surprise, is it?]

...Yeah. I'll be okay.

Today went... probably about as well as it could, didn't it?

[discutio]

[Don't be silly, he's fine, everything's fine, someone please get Ignis some therapy and a nap.]

I think that was the ideal outcome, shockingly unlikely as it was.

...You were right. Even if it unfolded that way, I took a dangerous risk for the sake of my own sentiment. I owe you and likely the others an apology.

[semistableman]

[Bucky shrugs before he remembers the gesture isn't going to work.]

I can't blame you. I have... trouble with a lot of things. Sometimes it's hard to remember most people haven't been through all the shit I have.

It's not like I want anyone harmed, and especially not Saturn. He's been put through the wringer repeatedly.

[discutio]

No--I know that. You're not the kind of person who would want that sort of outcome, and I do trust you.

It's...like shouting at a mirror. The more Saturn talks, the more I hear myself and I just...I couldn't turn away from that, even if it put my life at risk. That was careless of me, I knew it was, and yet I did it all the same.

[semistableman]

[Bucky sighs, clearly keen on dismissing it.]

It's not-- It's the same for me.

I just reacted differently. Easier to shut down when things aren't going well.

[Just two men with no mental health issues talking about their lack of mental health issues, nbd]

[discutio]

...understandable. Are you feeling alright now that it's over and done with?

[semistableman]

[After a moment, Bucky nods.]

Yeah. I... Once I get past this adrenaline crash, I should be fine.
