[ Neil stayed quiet for a moment, in turn, then pressed his lips to Tieria's hairline, long and soft. ]

You aren't expecting it of me. I'm offering.

[ Because there was a difference, a pretty big one at that. And yes, Neil knew. He knew that going back alone - well, without Neil - would hurt. But it had been so long and Tieria had not stopped trying, and so the last question was only partially true something Neil could confirm knowing.

His hands stroked up and down Tieria back, his breathing just a little ragged. ]

I know that you don't want to give it up. I know that you can't and won't stop trying, too. I know - I know that even when you belong with me, you don't belong here.

And I know that you will do what needs to be done, no matter what you want.

It is part of you, and I fell in love with all of you. That, too.

It's... It is all right.

[ He breathed out softly. Fully aware that what he was suggesting would horrify Tieria if he thought he was offering himself for the experiment. Which he might, if it came to that, but he was going to try to offer different angles and ideas.

Innovades were brilliant, and Tieria was particularly so, and more human than what Neil had known of the rest, but it sometimes took a particular human kind of stupidity to reach a breakthrough. ]

Have you tried to focus at a time when you know somebody is returning to their body?

I know.

[He sighed, listening to Neil reassure him that what he was doing, as pointless as it might seem to some, was still something he supported. He clung to him a bit, but looked up to meet Neil's gaze at the suggestion.]

We've not been able to predict that sort of thing happening, yet. [He shook his head.] So no. I haven't tried.

[He looked a confused for a moment. Would that even be possible?]

It would seem to make sense that, when a glitch of some sort occurs, the system would be at its most vulnerable. The challenge would be figuring out when it happens so I can access it at the right moment.

[ Neil is quiet for a moment, his eye thoughtful and a little sad. Yes, he's hesitating, but not doing all that he can think of, when it's for a cause he believes in... ]

People still seem to die, sometimes not quite so fast as to be ... impossible to get to them, when it happens. There has to be some disturbance when that occurs - or the return of them before the morning.

[ See what he meant about human insanity? ]

	[Tieria stared at him for a moment, and his eyes narrowed slightly in that rather judgmental way he often did. Oh no. This was not going where Tieria was thinking this might be going. He was going to nip this in the bud right now.] No. You're not doing that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yo, yo. Tieria.

[ Yes, he knew exactly where Tieria's mind went. ]

You going through it once is plenty enough, I was not volunteering.

[ Unless Tieria got desperate. But that was not a conversation for now. ]

I was merely pointing out that it's an opening that might be more usable than just throwing yourself bodily against the wall. If the opportunity presents itself.

	[He sighed, shifting his gaze away from Neil now as he thought about it.] It would be something to try... should it actually happen. But we usually don't find out until after the fact. [And no, Neil, you weren't going to be involved in dying in any way... regardless.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ And Neil used that as an invitation to hug Tieria a little closer, a wordless reassurance because the worded one...

Neil was a little selfish, or so he thought of himself. But he wasn't selfish enough to stop people from finding their way home. Not even the ones he loved through and through.

(Or even especially the ones he loved so much - they deserved the freedom all the more, wanting it.) ]

It does seem rather ghoulish, to look around for somebody who is dying, but...

I rather think it might be one of the very few possibilities that you haven't thought of, by now.

	[Tieria hummed a bit, a thoughtful sound as he snuggled into the hug.] It does. That's likely one of the reasons I hadn't considered it. [He frowned.] Also, I know that, as far as people who might be dying of an illness, the prison seems to take care of that aspect, so that's not something we can just go around asking about.

[ Thoughtful was all right, very much all right, so long as the hug was allowed to bring some comfort, and Neil relaxed a little, himself. ]

We humans are crazy. We are trying to get better, but... sometimes it shows.

[ A hum of his own. ]

Sometimes, though, people get hurt badly and call for help. And, sometimes, people get hurt close, but trying to seek for a breakthrough at the time seems... the last thing to think of. [ He kissed the top of Tieria's head. Lingering. ] There is a way, Tieria. And you belong with those who rely on you.

But I will definitely enjoy each day that you are by my side.

	[He stayed there, taking in the moment.] I wish I didn't have to make this choice. [It hurt... goodness, it hurt.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
