We, uh...we were just finishing a battle back home before we got here. [so yes.]
But yeah. I get it. It's frustrating because you don't always want to, but you have to. But you don't want to of it as having to do it because you know you're the only one who can, so you still choose what's right.
[...there's a shrug.] I think it's more unfair not to tell her at all while you can, Adora. And I wouldn't think of it as getting her hopes up. It's just...something to look forward to for when it's all over. Even if it takes a while, at least you'll both know and you'll have something else worth fighting for. Right?
And you're not? [CATRADORA IS A LOT IN GENERAL he has. seen and heard things. but he settles a little and grins slightly. sympathetically, maybe.] It does. But that's why you find the people who will still be there when your destiny's fulfilled and hang on to them. Right?
I never said that. I'm... definitely aware that I can be, uh. Also a lot.
[She's a mess sometimes. But... well. The sympathy makes her smile a bit, and she leans over to knock shoulders with him.]
You're right though. I... hope that when everything's done, and that whole destiny thing is fulfilled... we can both just be with the people who make us happy.
listen. he's also highly Aware that he relates more to adora than catra so it's fine.]
It's not like it's really a bad thing. [but...he hums a little at that anyway.] I think we can be. Whoever they are. Even if destiny takes a while, I don't think there's anything wrong with adding to your own destiny either.

Yamato usually gets pretty pissed at me, too, for my own decisions. Like I'm putting the team before myself. And maybe I am. So I get that it's hard but...[he shrugs. never mind he ran out of wisdom, this is just a bunch of him going "same hat but also."] You've got time here to yourself.
[Knowing what I know now, this thread is even funnier.
But Adora just snorts softly at that, but she looks gently amused and quietly peaceful.]
Just talking about it like this is kinda helping already, y'know? I've... never been able to really talk about it with anyone before this.
So... thanks. I really... really hope it works out for you too. Any time you wanna talk about it, I'm here too. After all, I feel like we both kinda... get it.
Yeah? [the way he says it seems to imply that he can relate and also that he's glad he was able to help even a little bit at all.] We can talk about it whenever you want. I think I get it probably a little more than I thought I did.
[there's a pause.] I think things will be fine. We just have to keep being there for each other and the people who matter. We can't go wrong there.
You're a really good guy, Taichi. I think with you around, everyone will be able to... y'know, not give up. Keep on moving forward, even when things are hard.
I'm really glad for that! I know you make me feel better anyway.
That makes two of us, you know? If we both stick together I think we can really help everybody until we can get out of here. But let me take care of some things while you focus on yourself for a little while. Deal?

[WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING.
We can go back to Catra, pls hold.]
You've been dealing with that all on your own even with all of this going on?
no subject
I mean we won. Everything's over for now, so it didn't seem like it was worth mentioning.
[it just means that they've both been stressed about the aftermath instead. it's fine.]

You're... so much. [SO!! MUCH!!] This "destiny" thing really messes people up, doesn't it?
