Likewise. Ah— Perhaps, [ she tries to motion, but. one look at those antlers again, even his weird looking human shaped hands that are way too unnatural, and she's shaking her head, holding the space of the dress out for him to step in. especially with a prosthetic limb. she tries not to stare. ] let me help you.

[ then he can fix whatever once it's on— she can't have him ruining it. four pulls up the fabric, and from behind him, begins tightening the laces that would mark his back. it's quite the beautiful dress! ]

A wise one once said: Once may be a mistake, twice is idiocy. What do you think of that?

[rightfoot]

[ Louis steps into the dress, watching each of his feet as he does, careful not to do any damage or create any more work for her. He doesn't flinch, letting her tighten the laces as his eyes stare forward, so not to turn or fidget and interrupt or mess up her process. ]

I think once is a mistake, second time is intentional. After all, aren't people supposed to be corrected after the first mistake?

[ That is his thought process, at least. He sees no point in holding off and waiting for more mistakes. ]

[foursakes]

[ at the very least, he’s mindful, she thinks. a good subject to ask about when you need something. as for his words, finishing off her laces and beginning to work on the tear closer to his front— ]

. . . Precisely what I believe, Louis. [ she even smiles, surprised almost, before gently taking his hand to guide his fingers into pinching some of the fabric up. just to make sure she’s making it look good every and any way it flows. ] Having intention is the epitome of asininity. Ah, though a bare no offense to . . . The asinine.

[ shout out to your donkey friends, she guesses!!!! ]

Justice and judgement always prevails.

[rightfoot]

[ He his shoulders so slightly when she notes no offense, gently holding the pieces of fabric that she's directing him to. He's careful since he doesn't want to cause any damage. It's times like this where his smaller body, and lack of claws actually put him at an advantage. He glances towards the corner of a room, quiet when she speaks about intention. He agrees, fully. It is asinine to intentionally damage your own work.

Foolish, even. Though: ]

That's a nice idea, but it's a lot of work.

[ And honestly, it's not his work anymore. At home, they wanted him to be that icon of justice, and he had to turn it down. To him, it's not been the case. He's personally won frequently, and he was frequently not representing either of those ideas. ]

And sacrifice.

[ He knows, personally. ]

[foursakes]

Very. Nothing may be gained without it. Blood, sweat and all.

[ swish, swish. it's coming out lovely, and adjusting the way her own skirt folds underneath her, four sits by and sews a lovely pattern into the fabric being held out. it almost looks like a vine dangling from the waist. ]

That is why the weight rests on those who can shoulder them. I hope to do so, [ . . . ] when I return to my home.

[ she has nowhere to return to. ]

[rightfoot]

Not me.

[ It comes out too quickly, almost word vomit when he responds to her. But, regardless, it's true. While there was a time where he considered the title of Beastar an honor, he doesn't want anything to do with it, now. Least of all on his own. ]

I hope to not be burdened with anyone else's problems anymore.

[ And there you have it, Four. A Deer who is officially done™ with fixing things. Though he knows well that he'll continue doing it despite his protests. And he'll continue to be grumpy about the fact that he's doing it. ]

I should only be burdened with my own problems.

[ He makes has enough of his own. ]

[foursakes]

Some people are under enough circumstance to be, I suppose . . .

[ although, there's something in her that admires his abrupt truth. it's a shame that he could also be lying, so that dies instantly. ]

Have people— taken advantage of you, Louis?

[rightfoot]

I wouldn't say I was taken advantage of.

[ Hm, he has a hard time figuring out how to explain it. In some ways, he supposes, he was, but being taken advantage of sounds so negative. And, it wasn't like they were intentionally doing it, either. Louis just happened to be where the problems ended up sometimes. ]

I'm unlucky and attract trouble makers.

[ That's the best way to figure it out. ]

I don't know anyone who did it maliciously, though. There's nothing wrong with wanting something easy going for once.

To free yourself from any trouble that others can cause.
