THAT'S RIGHT, WE ARE PROGRESSIVELY STRUGGLING MONSTERS !
"Name's Arrow, handsome stranger. Like the weapon." She'd obviously never met this guy, but she already liked him. Couldn't explain it, he just seemed like an asshole and she was drawn to assholes. They were the most fun of all.
"Uh... yeah, actually. It was uhm, Leroy. He died maybe a week or two ago. Had a huge stroke, probably caused by the cancer he found out he had... I'm sorry you had to find out like this."
At the mention of the recent death, the ends of her mouth twitched for a moment, and then the grin slowly faded. For an excruciatingly long moment of sheer silence, green eyes simply blank, Arrow stared at Aurum as if waiting to hear him say "haha, just kidding!", but she knew that wasn't going to happen. There was a sense of shock induced calm that overcame her, like getting punched in the emotional dick. "Leroy..." It still wasn't processing. Leroy was gone, huh? Deep down somewhere she knew it was going to happen one day she just...she'd wanted to be there for him when it did. She hadn't expected to come back after her own unfortunate dance with death. Arrow closed her eyes, inhaling sharply.
Crow, what a pleasure to see you here too. "I don't know, man." Her voice dropped low, shrugging loosely. The words stung. She felt guilty, but it wasn't like it was her fault. She wouldn't cry, not yet, but she did feel like shit. What a way to come back. "Don't be mad at me, Crow, c'mon. Please." She sounded tired.
And then there was Kiira. Her smile came back, sadder this time but there nontheless. "Hey, girl." Another familiar face, a sweet and glitchy face. She lifted a small paw up, trying to wipe at her wet cheeks. "It's all alright, it's all gonna be alright now, yeah?"
