Re: voice; un: audtiore

[callmenines]

<sub>[9S has consumed the entire box of baked goods that A2 brought him and has watched a whole season of Duplicity's version of Great British Bake off. He thought this would help but he still feels off. On edge. #Shook if you will. The sudden call and unfortunately familiar voice has him startling so much that in his scramble for the device he falls off the couch.

Oops.]</sub>

...Yes?

_{[His voice is cautious and quiet. Tired even. Why was he calling him? Hadn't he told him to fuck off?]}

[collectsfeathers]

[Ezio had spent an embarrassing amount of time with his head in Leonardo's lap watching the other work on sketches and various other projects. He too had thought that it would help, but it did little more than make him feel even worse.]

I wanted to apologize to you. I should not have reacted as I did. It is only that -

[That his family is his most beloved and sensitive subject.]

It is only that I have been without that half of my family for a very long time, but it pains me still. Lucrezia was kind enough to explain what you were trying to say.

[callmenines]

<sub>[Ah...he wasn't expecting an apology. He still feels uncertain as he listens quietly, processing each word he hears carefully, as if he's afraid that as soon as he opens his mouth he'll end up screwing up again.

There's a moment of silence before 9S eventually speaks up, having picked himself up off the floor, wedging himself into the corner of the couch. He sets a pillow in his lap, resting his elbows atop it.]</sub>

Apology accepted. I'm sorry too. I didn't mean to upset you.

_{[And yet he'd fucked up. Again.]}

I'm still trying to learn how to navigate your species. I don't have a lot to go off of...it was only a matter of time before I pissed someone off. My mouth gets me in trouble a lot.

_{[His knees rise up, pushing the pillow closer to him.]}

Emotions are difficult for me, or rather making sense of them is, especially since I've been told they're prohibited over and over by everyone I know...but I'm rambling now. I won't ever mention the topic that pains you ever again.

[collectsfeathers]

[Ezio was a lot of things, and not all of them were good. But he had been overwhelmingly in the wrong with his actions, and he wasn't afraid to admit, to apologize for it.]

It is alright. You could not have known.

[Lucrezia had explained exactly what it was 9S was attempting to get at, only he had gone about it in a way that made sense to him and not particularly anyone else. He couldn't be faulted for trying. Shouldn't have been, and for that Ezio felts terrible.]

I allowed my own emotions to overshadow my reason. I should not have taken it out on you.

[There's a pause, long and silent, because this is truly still very painful for him. But, well, he owed 9S this much.]

You asked me what it was like to have a family. Do you still wish to know?

[callmenines]

_{[No, he shouldn't have taken it out on 9S but here they were. It's awkward, sure, but 9S has eaten enough cupcakes by now that he feels a little better, even if the question he's being asked seems like a dangerous one. Of course his curiosity wins out in the end and so timidly he agrees.]}

Only if you want to tell me. If so then yes.

[collectsfeathers]

[Ordinarily it was a very dangerous question. Speaking of his family was painful, remembering all of them as they were instead of how they are.

But 9S deserves it, especially after what he had done.]

My brother, Petruccio, had been collecting feathers for as long as I could remember. But he was an ill child and often could not leave the house. He had spotted some nearby and so he asked me to retrieve them for him. I asked what he was planning to do with all of them and he smiled and told me that I would know in time.

After he died, every time that I would see a feather, I would collect it and place it into a box in my mother's room. I thought perhaps it would ease her sorrow for having lost so much.

I still do not know what he wanted them for.

[There's a pause, a moment where he breathes in deeply before speaking once more.]

Having a family is like having invisible strings tying you to each other. These are bonds that are never meant to be severed, and when they are broken, it leaves those who have been left behind with pieces of themselves missing.

[callmenines]

<sub>[Quietly, he listens, silent on the other end as Ezio indulges him with an answer. These are clearly important, precious memories he's being told here, and he's more than willing to respect that. It's a sad tale and reminds him a bit of Emil with his Lunar Tears, enlisting the help of himself and 2B to find the rare, beautiful flower.

If only he'd known back then that he could've made a wish when he'd found the first one.]</sub>

...I can understand that. I know what that's like.

<sub>[That feeling? Of an invisible bond, of something keeping you connected to another individual? That's how he felt with 2B. It was more than just a network connection, more than just being of the same make or being forced to fight a war together. No matter how many times they found themselves separated, no matter how many times he ended up being taken down by her...somehow he always found his way back to her side. No matter what happened, no matter whether she ignored him or showed him kindness he was destined to fall for her and crave her attention.

They were partners, after all, and nothing, not even YoRHa or any human here could change that fact.]</sub>
