For a guy who speaks with his fists, you have some really nice words up your sleeve, too. [There's a tinge of blush in his cheeks.] But I'm not shy, come on...

[Special bond, huh...anyways! He's choosing to move on a little, glancing at the man's feet with a curious gaze, before he feels something suddenly dripping out of his eyes.]

[Ah.]



[Why is he....crying? Huh?]

What the hell-?

[accredit]

[ ah... this is kind of pure?

it almost makes him feel kind of sheepish just watching him. he's about to give a laugh, especially as he feels oddly enough... in a good mood to start dancing, but it seems ill-timed when suddenly, he starts crying!?! ]

H-hey, my bad. There's no need to cry over this...

[ he wants to comfort him, but instead he literally starts singing his words out. ... which is somehow just the lyrics of twinkle twinkle little star. i am sorry, i'm not creative. ]

[graftage]

Ah...

[The tears keep coming. He's so confused, wiping them away, and then......Achilles speaks, and he stares for a moment.]

[He lets out a laugh, but with the tears, it comes out as a hiccup-like cough.]

What are you doing?

[accredit]

[ this is probably a sight to behold by anyone who has the misfortune to walk in on such a scene. while achilles is acutely aware of how genuinely messed up this looks, all his attempts to thwart his own movements are met with more dance steps and a certain vigor in his singing?

is that vibrato? maybe, but he seems equal parts passionate and joyful, even as he continues to sing along an answer to steinbeck. ] 🎶 I don't actually know.

Maybe your tears broke me? 🎶

[graftage]

Ahaha...

[The laugh comes out like he's almost choking on it. What IS this? Why the hell is he dancing? WHY IS HE SINGING?? THIS IS SO FUNNY]

Maybe they did. What the hell is happening...?

[accredit]

That's what I'm asking you. Please make me stop. 🎶

[ it isn't like he's particularly good at this and yet here he is, singing his heart out to a crying steinbeck. but despite it, he seems to grab steinbeck's shoulders desperately, shaking him... as if this would stop any of this. shaking and dancing... what a combo. ]

Is it what we ate...?
