[ Niah watches them intensely like who will win. Joonghyuk, in comparison, gives him a different intense leer. It isn't hostile or aggressive, but... More so searching resolve and perseverance.
You're the last bastard here I want to be responsible for, Yoo Joonghyuk.
[Just saying.
He curls his fingers behind Joonghyuk's arm as if to tell him to get up, but he doesn't try to haul Joonghyuk up himself.]
Come on. If I carry you, it's going to be over my shoulder like a sack of potatoes, so I'd rather you just walk yourself. You've got two functioning legs; it's your brain that's fried. You don't want to talk to people right now, yeah? Stay in your room for a while.
[ Joonghyuk would be a headache for anyone, that's fair.
He keeps a hold on Jason's wrist, tightening ever so slightly. Predictably, he plans to go in silence just as Jason says, but then he feels a flurry of petals forming. Annoyed, he speaks: ]
... That stupid trip has me worrying if someone isn't there I'll forget who I am.
[ Who will he be if no one is there? When they meet him again? Will he still be the same person? He isn't sure. ]
[He frowns a bit without trying to make it obvious this bothers him. They are both so damn stupid.]
You've got Niah. Keep him with you. [This is an attempt to be reassuring.] You just said you weren't my responsibility, but now it sounds like you're asking me to babysit you. Make up your mind, old man.
[He tries to draw his hand back.]
I'll stay until I can pawn you off on someone else. You won't forget.
Also. You fuck. He reaches out to use Joonghyuk's arm to sort of turn him around where he needs to go. WHY IS THIS LIKE TAKING CARE OF AN OLD MAN WITH DEMENTIA?]
[ HE’S PERIODICALLY GETTING DISTRACTED? Nice he reaches his room and opens it.
Niah is super :hei: about it, but he doesn’t fuss cause they’re back to the room. They’re going to go in, though Joonghyuk gives Jason one last look. ]
[ Niah really is looking at Joonghyuk like what a dumb bitch, which is what Joonghyuk would also say about himself if he had to watch in third person. ]
Jay. [ He lets it sit and think on how it feels. ] It’s overly familiar.
[He is amused, but not offended. The full name feels very Yoo.]
…
[He glances up at Joonghyuk, not sure how to answer truthfully for a moment or two. Like, he has been skeptical whether or not this may be a dreamscape. so. He does not want to bring that up right now with Joonghyuk like this.]
Well, I’m real. How’s that? I’m real, and you’re real. You know how I know? You told me about your little sister. About the frog on the overalls.
[WHY THE FCK IS HE LIKE THIS. Jesus. Jason tenses in the way that says he is two seconds from going martial arts, but he just remains rigidly in place, skull grabbed.]
See. Only real people make mistakes.
[Sufficiently skull checked, he glances at Yoo then at Niah before turning and slinking off.]

I am not your responsibility, Jason Todd.

Good.

You said that place was someone’s memories. Why do you think that?
