I guess so. [ yamato plucks a few strings as he thinks ] I don't have any requests, and I doubt Taichi does, either, but... if you really want to, I'm not going to stop you.
[ spoiler someone else beat you to it I'm in TEARS? it's my fun Tuesday reveal
anyway he looks awkward and hesitant for a second because he doesn't actually. want to say no when people offer for his eye he just has paranoia of people's injuries and is bad at asking for things so it's a Combo? ]
How's that a present for Taichi? [ is what he settles on asking ]
He's got no room to talk about stubbornness when his wrist is still broken. [ it's said huffily like an eye isn't Worse, but listen. he plucks at the bass again so he doesn't have to look at Caleb ] It's not... like I like being blind or I'm playing martyr. Just-- people get hurt here a lot.
[ his anxiety. he is like a Chihuahua constantly shaking. ]
But we haven't run out of the ability to pay for them yet, have we? [A little more sheepishly, he'll add - ] You know, I scolded Kon for giving five vouchers to the healing on Thursday, because those vouchers were meant for Mollymauk. I didn't give any of my own, in case I needed them for him. You gave away all of yours, and still won.
So I think there is maybe room to think about yourself and others at the same time.
I still had two left. [ a little shyly, because he has never been good at this stuff and wow this bass is fascinating now! incredible! it looks just like any other! ] It's not like I'm not thinking about myself. It's just... It's a lot. To ask for, when I'm getting along fine. That's all.
Ja. She. . . doesn't belong in a place like this. With Mollymauk back, I think I can tolerate it a bit more without losing my patience, but it is difficult. I wonder why she left summer?
[ great now he feels bad about being uncomfortable around the baby :/ ]
... I guess. [ he has to wonder again if fall really is so different from other dorms... speaking of: ] How's Winter, then? Still sharing a singular bed?
[Not different, necessarily, but obvious to an outside that it's the case. Anyway, it's fine, it's very awkward.]
. . . It's sort of funny, because the dorm is so fancy, but most of the people who live in it are used to sleeping on the road or on the streets in some way. Some would be sleeping on the floor whether or not there were beds.
I don't get that. One of the things we got most excited about the first time we went to the Digital World was actually getting to sleep in beds sometimes. I guess we were kids, but... [ camping sucks???? ] It's fine while you're traveling, but if you've got the option to use one, why not take it?
[Did you not. . . have beds when you were kids. . . ]
I understand. We camped out for nearly a year, aside from staying in the occasional inn. But I learned the spell to make an extra dimensional tower recently, and everyone wants the tower every night.
[He sounds like he wants everyone to want the tower every night.]
A demi-plane to be precise. I can create a large tower of my own design, staffed by spectral fey servants, and as long as I have the components and enough energy for a powerful spell, I can set it up anywhere - the side of a cliff, a wardrobe.
In my tower, we have our own library and dining hall, staffed by kitty cat servants who cook any dishes you could want, and everyone has their own bedrooms.

Because I am sure he will enjoy seeing an end to your stubbornness over it as much as I would.

How are things over at fall?

I don't know why.

. . . Ah. Things must be very energetic over there.

I didn't think she was that close to anyone in Fall to want to move there, though.

Kitty cat servants...?

A little like Frumpkin, but a more simple sort of fey creature. Just spirits.
