Goddess...? [ what ] Did you tell Haru that?

[ Speaking of Haru, enjoying being slammed by this extremely normie memory of Rin recounting his weird relationship with Haru. ]

[diluvian]

[ she's about to reply, but instead she has to witness this memory of rin being gay. ]

You could have said swimming with Haruka revitalizes you.

[ it would have been simpler, with fewer words. ]

[damp]

[ that is a very good summary ]

... That's not all there was to it! He asked me why we weren't friends anymore.

[diluvian]

[ oh, that surprises her a little. ]

You weren't friends for a while?

[ because they act like friends now? here? even if he's dead and haru isn't. ]

[damp]

[ she's about to get the rin is a bad friend lore ]

... Yeah, because of me. Because I was struggling with swimming, and I blamed it on... [ he really hates admitting this ] admiring Haru too much instead of wanting to beat him.

So I ended our friendship a few years ago. [ he rubs the back of his neck. ] But Haru has a bigger heart than most people think.

[diluvian]

[ what she gets is that he's self-absorbed and cringe (no). she gets he's self-absorbed and sensitive.

she tilts her head. ]

At least you know better now. You were able to repair your relationship.

[damp]

[ He is all three of those things.

Brief moment of sad longing. ]

Yeah, somehow. Mostly because Haru forgave me. He didn't even ask for anything in return.

[ Anyway, enough about them. ]

Did you tell him that you're the goddess of water?

[diluvian]

I did. He didn't react much. He doesn't seem to be the type to ask for much at all outside of a pool.

[ she thinks haru just wants water and more water. ]

[damp]

Huh, I thought he'd be more excited about it considering how he reacted to Gerard.

[ Like, "leave your team and join us". ]

[diluvian]

He didn't feel excited about it.

[ i want to know how haru reacted to gerard but lambda wouldn't care enough to ask :face_holding_back_tears: ]

He spent his time skating.

[damp]

[ THAT'S SO WEIRD... unless haru was like water doesn't bend to authority ]

Huh. So you two got along?

[diluvian]

[ something to ask haru when they reunite instead of sorting through murder and death feelings.... ]

I wouldn't go that far. All we did was talk.

[damp]

Do you like him?

[diluvian]

No.

[ no hesitation. ]

It takes more than a few conversations for me to like anyone.

[damp]

... Yeah. I'm getting that from you.

[diluvian]

It's just how I am.

[ take her or leave her. ]

[damp]

[ he shrugs ]

You don't have to like people easily. People aren't usually that honest about it though.

[diluvian]

I think it's easier if people are on the same page as I am. I'm not going to be polite just for the sake of it.

[ lambda is truly the type that's if you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best. ]

[damp]

... That's not that different from Haru either. Or my best friend.

[diluvian]

[ she makes a face at being compared to haru and this friend she doesn't know. ]

And?

[damp]

... That's it. I was trying to remember how we started getting along.

[diluvian]

[ because you were so cute and cheerful and bright as a child. it'd be easier for baby rin to get along with lambda, too, now that i think about it. ]

A miracle?

[ she means from both sides probably. ]

[damp]

Oi. [ his expression flatlines ] It's just easier to make friends as kids.

[ ... ]

Did you even have a childhood?

[diluvian]

[ well.

oink oink. sorry for fate/ character designs. not the most sfw..........

this memory comes with some static and a kind of disconnect. it's the kind of memory you know you have, but it's not one you've experienced. ]

[damp]

[ Another memory comes by, and it's even more confusing than the last. He watches the story of Lambda and her sister. She seems... a little different. Not as cold as he'd expect.

He just looks at her. ]

... You were also summoned to fight a war?
