[there's so much he could say: about Self, cognition, will. But it's far too past both their bedtimes for such heavy things. So:]

You can. And will. I have faith in you.

[God dammit Akira he's trying not to cry here. You can't do that.

He should take heart in that. It's touching. But he's still - he's scared! Scared that it won't matter what he wants or what he tries to do; scared for everyone else, Ingo and Emmet and Akira and everyone else around him who he might be able to beg but can't compel to stay grounded, to not lose themselves, to not leave. It could happen at any time.]

Alright, [he barely voices, mostly just mouths. His vines tighten for a few seconds, then go loose again.]

Cw: brief suicidal imagery

[maybe it's for the best that he doesn't voice his worry for others, for him specificly. He decided long before he came here that he would never someone or something drag him in again- if he was going to drown it would be because he threw himself off the bridge. And likely that is a comfort to him and him alone.

Instead:]

Wanna go fast?

[they're reaching more open ground by now, and his trot starts picking up a bit, though he Wait a for the go ahead before running.]

[familyproblem]

Give me a moment.

[A moment he takes, to get his composure back together and brace himself physically. Whoof.]

...alright. Let's go.

[le_mat]

[Once he has the go-ahead he starts a gallop, slowly and carefully speeding up. It's still dark enough that he doesn't want to go all out, afraid of hitting a groundhog hole or something. But the physical activity is freeing- easier to stop thinking about anything else. It's not a blanket fort, but the idea comes from the same place]
