lifeless | catch-all for sieghart (he's an oppa in my heart)

[

Manwol looks at the couch.]

Isn't that the couch Claude stole?

[Sieghart looks at the couch, then at Manwol.]

Did he steal it? He told Caiman that he'd return it, but apparently there was a misunderstanding.

[She looks at him to the couch.]

The misunderstanding was that he never told Caiman when. [AND LOOK? IT'S STILL THERE!!

Manwol's not as upset about this compared to say, Bradley would be, though. She looks around the Spring Dorm instead, wow look at all these fairy lights]

[Sieghart doesn't look particularly bothered. That's Claude and Caiman's problem. There are other couches on which he can lie.

As for Manwol, there's alcohol, as well as knitting and crocheting supplies and yarn, on the coffee table. Sieghart limps over to the bowl of healthy and semi-healthy snacks that's also there.]

I don't know if your dorm serves the same things as ours, but you're welcome to help yourself.

[Manwol immediately nyooms towards the alcohol,]

It absolutely does not. [ALCOHOL??? LUCKY] We just have ice tea and cookies... And a Christmas tree that we're supposed to decorate.

[it's cute but like, it's not alcohol?]

Spring is Chad's dorm, isn't it? Does he hang out here with all of you?

[Tea is good. She's right, though: it's not alcohol.

Sieghart limps away for a brief moment to retrieve a couple of disposable cups for their usage. He hands the one out to Manwol.]

Yeah, he does. Do you talk to him often?

[sieghart you're the best, she will happily accept the cup.]

Not at all. I've only spoken to Luke and Viola so far. I think I've seen him from a distance though. He has that poker face expression... But he doesn't seem unfriendly.

[chad giving ppl hot cocoa]

[He takes a seat on the couch, mindful to position his left leg so that it remains straight. Now pour the alcohol.]

He's on the quiet side, but he won't turn you away if you approach him.

[she'll pour some for him too... if he accepts, it's manners]

And do you always approach him?

[sieghart radiates those Confidence vibes, but is he also Softe?]

Thanks.

[He gladly accepts the offering.]

I watch the kids here do it. Based on what I've seen, he's eager to help out where he can.

You sound like a babysitter. Or maybe someone who's into people-watching?

[or both?? she's amused either way]

What else is there to do during curfew?

[He takes a sip.]

Kids have a tendency to look out for each other. Our Dorm Head doesn't need my fussing on top of everyone else.

...Actually, you sound like a dad.

[appa?]

Is that just because of your age, or because you really are a father?

[He makes a face as he lowers the cup.]

Age doesn't matter . . . It's been years since I was anyone's father.

So you were a father. I knew it.

[manwol doesn't know shit she was only guessing]

Isn’t there a saying, once a father always a father? [no]

That's not untrue . . . But if you're going to be technical, I'm a great grandfather several times over.

I see.

[wait]

I thought you said you were human?!

[He sips his drink with a shrug.]

Ah, I am. I just don't age like the others.

[she looks at him.....]

And why is that?

It's nothing special. Under ordinary circumstances, I'm immortal.

How is that nothing special?!

[EXCUSE ME? AJUSSHI??]

It's the truth.

There's nothing special about immortality. Anyone who brags about it is doesn't realize how easy it is to undo it.

...Does it really count as immortality if someone can just undo it?

Of course. Nothing is immutable—not even destiny—but you can live forever as long as you maintain it.

[she frowns because well he's not actually wrong??]

You sound like one of those cosmetics ads...
