They're not, but the river works nicely as long as I have cleansing products with me.

[robopriest]

Oh, I see. Do you, uh, ever need help?

[WITH HIM. NOT KNOWING HIS BODY THAT WELL]

[antaressnipe]

No, that is not necessary.

[...]

Though for some reason it takes longer than usual, but I...

[Looking confused again, closes my eyes]

[robopriest]

...Well, you do have a lot of, uh, ground to cover.

[Just. Saying.]

[antaressnipe]

[... He looks behind him and stares for a beat]

Hansa, answer me honestly.

How many times have I looked behind me and been surprised?

[robopriest]

..................

Well, more than once?

[antaressnipe]

[HE'S LOSING YEARS OFF HIS LIFE AT THE TWO ANSWERS HE GOT]

... I apologize for the inconvenience to both of you.

[robopriest]

[He raises a hand, shaking his head.]

Its okay. Its this damn memory loss, after all.

[antaressnipe]

Indeed.

... I have very little left to lose. So long as I do not properly splinter, my assumption is that this is the worst it will be for me.

[After a point, the loss of memories is just the norm.]

[robopriest]

...

[That makes him frown, and he reaches for Chiron's hand to give it a squeeze.]

Hey. Don't say it like that.

[antaressnipe]

... Ah, forgive me. Was I being too cold again...?

[Sometimes he cannot tell, but he will at least give the hand a squeeze]

[robopriest]

No, its just...

[And a shrug.]

Let's not talk about how it will be the worst you've experienced or whatever. We're all here. Jeanne survived. So...its good, at least for a little while, okay?

[antaressnipe]

... Right. You're right.

-- It is fine not to plan the future down to the last detail this one time.

[robopriest]

Exactly.

[A pause...and he brings Chiron's hand to his lips, kissing it gently.]

Just relax. I like when you're happy.

[chanteuser]

A least three times a day, Archer.

[ blunt. ]

He lays his head back on the ground, tail thumping in apology]

I see...

[chanteuser]

[ she leans over, a little wobbly, and kisses him on the forehead. ]

I told you, trust me. Whatever you see, it's all you and it's fine.

[antaressnipe]

... Alright.

[Smiling faintly at the kiss. He'd kiss her back but he is so lazy (and poisoned)]

I still appreciate your efforts to keep me focused.

[chanteuser]

[ when will she get chiron smooches, damn. alex is unloved. ]

It's fine. Not knowing things about yourself is... terrifying, really. Even without the Realm's involvement making it worse.

[antaressnipe]

[A small hum of agreement at that]

... Still, I can offer the group what little help remains with me, even if I do not know why I possess such skills in the first place.

[chanteuser]

At least if you don't think too much about it, it doesn't give you a headache to do it.
