I think - what happened... is more that he forgot than he remembered. [ she sounds like she's trying to not be too affected, but sora's good at her inflections by now. she's upset about this. ] He would've told me yesterday if he'd remembered he was married? That's when we got our memories back. But he told me today, instead. He wouldn't have waited.
I think he forgot that whoever he married isn't dead. He doesn't have a ring on his finger, either.
[he can tell she's upset, yeah, and it's why he doesn't let go of her hand while they walk and he listens to what she's saying.]
He wouldn't have, no. That doesn't make any sense. [also that'd be so rude.] But maybe...you just need to remind him of what's true? Like how you and I go over stuff and what we know about each other. I don't know if that would help for Blanca though.
[he'll let her hold his hand however long she wants because that's a pretty bad situation.]
Well yeah, but...you can still be unhappy about it. That's terrible. [the realm is so rude.] Maybe if he got some of his memories back already, he'll be able to get that memory back, too, and it'll be fine again.
Costumes. The best ones for a tree-climbing adventure. [he'll continue to pull her along then.] I think there's a shop up ahead. Should we check there?
[this is maybe the first time he absolutely misses his sense of smell, especially given the way his stomach growls not long after he hears the word curry.]
We're gonna have to try one of everything on the menu. All of the food last week was pretty good, so I bet this is even better. [...there's an embarrassed smile.] Can we go there first?
Hmm...maybe not exactly like this, but similar? We usually just ate whatever we found or cooked for ourselves on the ship. Most of what we ate on the island was fish though.
[he makes a face because yeah, fine, he's not the greatest at actually eating balanced meals. but he's predictably going for the fish while he nods.]
Yeah. There's something I want to ask Shima, too, if we have room. [a nice lead-in.] ...I think he's partially responsible for what happened with Hua Cheng and Claude.
Oh. Shit, that'd... make a lot of sense, actually. [ she frowns. ] Do you think that means the - oh, man. Do you think the Realm gives the people who have to kill some sort of influence for the week?
No, I don't think it's like that. Somebody learned more from him than I did and shared with me. Apparently on Monday of last week, he received a message asking him to make a choice to pick two names, and he picked Hua Cheng and Claude. He wasn't approached by his Leader about Laine until Wednesday though.
Plus we know something happened with Shima and Zuko themselves. And Won. And...Izumo?
...so all I can figure is that maybe somebody picked Shima to pick a name, picked Shima and Zuko to be cursed with their thing, and Won and Izumo were totally separate things. Items maybe?
There's no connecting link between any of them yet. Unless Shima picking the names was something he's already been doing and he just now mentioned it this week. Could explain why it was always Izumo.
[...] He told me about their relationship. Him cursing her to be nicer would make some sense.
Cool, well. Anyway. [ she knows sora likes izumo but she literally doesn't care so she's... trying to be nice. ] I'm glad Shima made life difficult for me on Saturday, that's great.
[ he doesn't bother saying lup be nice and continues to not get memory loss lore ]
In general. If he was the one that picked Hua Cheng and Claude to bitch at each other, then that made my whole life difficult with trial and the strip search.
At least it wasn't Kano levels of difficult? [a shrug. also STOP HE'S GETTING THERE.] Kano's thing was a mistake by someone who really didn't think this through or how it would impact anybody. But Hua Cheng and Claude were purposefully meant to be a distraction.

I tried. [ she says, with a sigh. ] I walked him through - it's fine. I'm not going to stress him on it. We have bigger things to worry about.

Anyway. Let's find the costumes.

[ and once they're there - she'll be a little less dire! especially because there is food right next door? ]
-- Oh, we have to try the curry. Is that curry? Try it with me.

[feed him.]
no subject
Yeah, obviously, ya dorkus. Go on. [ she'll shoo him in. and then, with a frown: ] Aw, hell. I'm not going to be able to taste any of it.
[ WEH ] Oh well.
no subject
Maybe it'll wear off over the week? It can't be gone forever.
no subject
I can deal with it. It's better than shocks. [ she allows herself to be dragged! ] Have you ever had any of this before?
no subject
no subject
An islander eating fish? No way. [ she says, mock surprised. ] Eat. You need it so you can grow into your shoes.
no subject
Hey, we also eat eggs and stuff. [he looks down at his feet.] And my shoes aren't that big.
no subject
[ tease, tease. she flops down next to him. ] Did you want to try to figure out the message while we eat?
no subject
Yeah. There's something I want to ask Shima, too, if we have room. [a nice lead-in.] ...I think he's partially responsible for what happened with Hua Cheng and Claude.

I - uh. [ ... she rubs her face. ] Yes? I guess. It seems just, like - random. Mostly. It seems like whoever is doing it they're just picking wildly.

Did you go talk to him after the trial? Or in general, you mean?
no subject
In general. If he was the one that picked Hua Cheng and Claude to bitch at each other, then that made my whole life difficult with trial and the strip search.
no subject
That's the part that worries me a little.
no subject
For sure. Not a damn thing we can do about it, though. Unless we get more neutralizing stones or whatever.
