[ Both of them have been through far too much. The intense change of their lives is enough to give them whiplash, truly. This place... Mephisto can't even say it's a bad change, really. "Evil God that wants to torment them for fun" is not all that far off from the Hell that is the Ursine government. The people here are nicer. It... truly does remind him of the Reunion. You know, before Talulah changed...
"Is something wrong?" Yeah. There's a lot of things wrong. Too many things wrong. But also, not enough things wrong. Like good things are happening, and he...

[ The unspoken pain hurts him just as readily as if it were spoken. There's little hesitation in kissing the side of his head when he hides like that. It's one of the few actions of comfort they had. ]
[ So much of Mephisto's behavior stemmed from fear, he found. Or specifically the fear of something changing. But... he's here now. He's here and he's not going to do that to him again.
He knows that he isn't the best at handling these things. His words have pushed Mephisto to be worse simply because he's bad at expressing what he means. He's going to try harder. He has to. ]
I'm... I'll try not to leave you again. [ Promising that in the wake of what happened to Till and everything they saw in that nightmare town would sound empty, but he could try. He would always try. ] But I want to know how you're feeling. A lot has happened.
