[ i...you tell me??? law will handle the flower a bit more carefully at the words. he doesn't really know what else to say about that. it's not like he gets flowers. ]
hm. law isn't sure if he likes the flower very much anymore but it is still...nice to look at and douman probably meant it in the best way, so he'll still regard it well. ]
There were others who were close to him. I'm sure they would appreciate a flower of remembrance as well.
[ hm. law kind of wants to be more defensive about it but he did sort of "show his hand" so-to-speak during trial a few times. strip check being the most damning of it. ]
You seem like the type of man who is so closed off, that when you are vulnerable, its like a blue moon hanging in the sky. A rare occurrence, only to be seen by a few.
[ law will frown at that. douman has good(??) intentions but he didn't really take to how douman waxed poetic about his situation, or well, how rare it was. ]
You think that I'm vulnerable right now? Steven isn't the only person to have died.
[ wouldn't it be funny if law never learned about klaus? it would be but he knows and law still doesn't like the vagueness of this?? you wanna call him out on something specifically then do it. ]
Klaus was his long term partner. [ sighs. ] In a non-romantic way, as he would clarify.
[ he'll be good enough for that but also... hmm. law will give this clown a chance for anything else that they might want before law just quietly slinks off somewhere? ]
[A long pause as they turn and walk off...before pausing, and glancing over their shoulder.]
Steven told me that we were both going to hell. [...] He seemed happy when I said I would be pleased to accompany him there, and said he would be glad for the company.

Thank you, then.

[And a bow of their head.]
For Steven.

Are you giving these to everyone he knew?

[A light smile.]
You were close with him, after all.

Of course, others are upset and sad over others passing. Its just...I know Steven. We had very good talks together. So I know...
[And they just trail off.]
no subject
You know?
no subject
I know how hard it was for him to open his heart. He had put everything into his bond with Klaus, after all.
no subject
Klaus was his long term partner. [ sighs. ] In a non-romantic way, as he would clarify.
no subject
Yes, he was. [And there's a pause.] Anyways...I was just happy for Steven, knowing all that, knowing about him. That's all.
no subject
this will not go well but he just has bite. closes eyes at law. ]
And just how much did you know Steven?
no subject
I won't give an answer to that, Law.
no subject
Hardly seems fair. You've made plenty of assumptions about me.
no subject
I do apologize. I am only going off of what I know of Steven.
no subject
Right. [ and he's just gonna leave it like that. ] Well, thank you for the flower. Shame I don't have anything for you in return, though.
no subject
[And they just smile, lightly.]
Thank you for accepting my gift.

Did you need anything else, Douman?

[A long pause as they turn and walk off...before pausing, and glancing over their shoulder.]
Steven told me that we were both going to hell. [...] He seemed happy when I said I would be pleased to accompany him there, and said he would be glad for the company.
[Another long pause.]
That is all. Take care of yourself, Law.
[And they're gone.]
