I don't think there's an age requirement for death.

[goatsongs]

I know that!

[That came out a little more upset than Chuuya meant it to. Um. He swallows and tries again.]

Just because things happen doesn't mean they should.

[selfimmolates]

Too bad the world doesn't run on "should".

[he fires again. another bulls-eye, like all of his shots before it. his voice is calm.]

Neither does this competition. Obviously, not everyone feels the same way you do. So it doesn't matter if someone's "too young to experience death"—that won't protect them, here or otherwise.

[goatsongs]

...Don't tell me things I already know.

[Chuuya's voice is shaking.]

Of course children die. Here. At home. Everywhere. I know that. 'Should' won't protect them. Adults are supposed to protect them.

he raises an eyebrow.]

You sure you're not defecting to Love?

[goatsongs]

I'm not. ...Even someone who doesn't especially praise love will love their child.

[selfimmolates]

Your child died, then.

[ray has the sensitivity of a brick.]

[goatsongs]

[good job ray.]

...yes. He did.

[selfimmolates]

Guess that explains a lot about your attitude.

[goatsongs]

I fussed over kids before I even had one. And most people wouldn't want kids to be killed.

[It's the drinking that most directly comes from his loss.]

[selfimmolates]

[a scoff.]

Too bad for the minority that missed that memo.

[he goes to retrieves his arrows.]

[...

Chuuya turns around and leaves to go get very, very drunk.]

[selfimmolates]

[have you ever considered better coping mechanisms, chuuya]

[goatsongs]

[have you ever considered that part of the reason chuuya refuses to talk about his problems to anyone in canon is out of fear of being scoffed at

like what just happened]

[ray's an asshole and he knows it, this is why he unadopted himself!!]
