ORION

You never have to worry about losing us. We will always be in your heart.

 

SEBASTIAN

That's one way of looking at it.

 

ILLYBRIUS

Why do you speak in the plural?

 

ORION

Because. You have lots of people that love you. Maheone, Akuma, Usagi, even myself.

 

ILLYBRIUS

Sometimes it feels as though I'm very far removed from everybody.

 

ORION

You doo seem untouchable sometimes, love. Shit. The lights are flickering. If I disappear, it's cause of the storm, okay?

 

ILLYBRIUS, v_v

No… How do I seem untouchable, then?

 

ORION

It's like you close yourself off.

 

TOD

No, he doesn't. He's rather an open book.

 

ORION

But even then we love you as best as we can.

 

ILLYBRIUS

I just want to think about you when I'm with you. When I'm with Maheone, I just want to think about him. Same for the others.

 

ORION

Well… I guess having so many lovers is tough but we can deal. For you love.

 

EVRYN

Except it's not. He's telling you how to make it simple. Stop fucking shilling for each other.

 

TOD

Yes, and at least you're all with him. There really isn't any need for one of you to advocate that he spend time with another; they can simply show up and request that for themselves. It becomes quite tiring, giving messages on behalf of someone who's left out of the relationship and barely acknowledged.

 

ILLYBRIUS

I—

 

ORION

Yes?

 

ILLYBRIUS

That is why I said I want it to be just about us. I didn't mean you to take offense to it but I just—Ow, my arm.

 

ORION

You okay?

 

ILLYBRIUS

Sorry. My arm is going numb.

 

ORION

Poor thing. I still love you.

 

FALCON

And then my left arm crapped out! The next day, Orion emailed Illybrius to tell him the storm killed his computer and he was heading out to go get a new one, and begged for forgiveness. Seems legit. The day after that, Illybrius responded saying he'd be waiting.
