[Kaworu comes to the screen with a kind and gentle smile.]

Hello. I'm looking for a piano or a violin. I'm not sure where I can find one; not to buy - I simply wish to play for a while.

[and now that is out of the way, he wishes to ask something else]

I do have another question. Are you happy?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

It's not a matter of it being fine or not. [THIS FEELS HAUNTINGLY FAMILIAR.]

Then?

I mean it makes me sad.

[Said so very simply. Honestly.]

Not because of any greater reason. It's something I wish I could do something about. Because I'd like to.

You?

[ a pause ]

Even though I don't mean anything to you, you wish for me to have someone?

[WELL, NOT "HAVE SOMEONE" EXACTLY. THAT SOUNDS KIND OF, WELL—

wow that actually manages to embarrass him for a moment.]

Of course. Is that strange?

[Ah—] Just because I don't really know you doesn't mean you don't matter. At all. [Everyone does. Argue humanity all you like, he still sees that. ~~Oddities aside.~~]

Everyone should be able to have those things. [c-clarifying just for his own peace of mind if nothing else:] Friends and people to belong to, that care about them.

[considering that kaworu has no notion of romantic or sexual love and everything is simply "love", he doesn't really need an explanation]

I don't matter. I'm unimportant; when one of us is gone, another would replace us, and individuality is unnecessary for our existence.

I—

[The response is immediate, but he cuts himself short. Almost looking a little, ah—

—almost looking a little wounded.

And sad.]

... I don't understand. [Soft, a little apologetic.] I'm not sure if I could ever claim to, or how it works [if you're an angel—and he's never really known that much about religion or given it a lot of thought] but...

That's not something I can believe. Everyone matters.

It's okay if you don't understand. Humans have a strong sense of individuality, though that's what brings them pain, so it's only natural for you not to understand my position.

[Yes, but it really stings.

There's a long pause as he weighs that.]

...What house are you in?

I'm in Sigyn.

[Ah. His shoulders loosen a little.]

Mm.

So am I.

[he smiles] i hope we can see each other often.

[He flashes a slightly sheepish smile for a moment, tapping his cheek with a gloved finger.]

Likewise.

[Pausing, but—]

I'm not really there often, but...

I'm usually there in the morning. For [breakfast but who in their right mind would join him for that] tea. [...He's developing that habit slightly out of peace offerings for and socializing with the other residents, but..

A little more brightly:] If you'd like. Or if you need any help finding your way around.

Thank you, but I don't wish to make you go out of your way.

[—that is why he's offering.] It's not out of my way.

[Mostly. This is important, too.]

I want to.

[ a pause, as if he is pondering and then kaworu nods with a soft smile - not that he ever stopped smiling ]

Then, yes, I'd like that very much. Thank you.

[Brightening, then. Legitimately.]

Mm. You're welcome.

I'm glad.

Glad? What for?

I just am. [Frank, simple.]

You seem like a nice person. [ADMITTEDLY ONE A LITTLE... off...

(that's okay, his whole life is full of weird)

But it's said like that's the only explanation needed.]

[ Frankly, he is nice. He loves humans a lot, so he can't help it. ]

I see.

I would like to meet you soon, if that is okay.

[Honestly?

That's kind of what still has Allen rocked back on heel a little.

Frankly he's more used to people finding him less than sane for his beliefs. He's more used to admitting all the shortfalls it made of him and sympathizing with how frustrating it was to others.

This is decidedly not that. It's a little weird.]

Ah?

Sure, when?

Whenever it's okay with you. I don't have anything important to do. [ not like this, no. Meeting someone like Allen is kind of a priority. ]

[SHOULD HE BE WORRIED.]

Um— [He has to consider that for a moment. It's more that that was unexpected and he has to think.]

I'll be back late tonight? [If it's important?] After patrol. [He'd just promised Lyra. New thing to do.]

I just work at the hospital and that [and get involved everywhere because compulsive need to be helpful but] so it's alright.

[ NOT YET.

Kaworu smiles ] As I have said before, you don't need to go out of your way for me. Whenever you are free and don't have much to do.
