Characters: Zack, Tifa, Zell, Kunsel, and... Jim? Kind of? Location: House 43 Date: Day 72 Summary: Jim tries to take out a monster and fails miserably. Warnings: Death, violence, grief? You know, Snowhell stuff.
[Kunsel doesn't answer right away. That's really not the kind of question that's easy to give an honest answer to - not without making it obvious that it's a lie. Instead, he pulls his knees up to his chest, staring at something only he can see.]
I... I'll be okay.
[No, he's not fine. Not even claiming to be. But eventually...
His voice lowers, somber and still filled with pain.]
I've lost friends before. I know how to deal with it.
[Well, she's sure they've all lost friends before. She's experienced it, but it never gets easier. Even if Kunsel does know how to deal with it, she can't imagine it ever gets any easier for him, either. There's nothing good to say to him in response, so she risks leaning her shoulder into his, very slightly.]
[Kunsel's quiet for a moment. Just a moment to get his emotions under control, a moment to make sure his voice stays at least somewhat level. Maybe a moment to appreciate the comfort she's trying to give.
After that moment, he presses his shoulder into hers.]
...yeah.
[There's not much more that he can say than that. Not so soon.

It's still hard, though, isn't it?

But for now, just sitting like this is enough.]
