drove to Chicago, all things know, all things know

[cherryblooded]

[This is getting so routine.

Cherryblod had thought about napping the rest of the day, like he'd said, but there are people to take care of, people who'd been closer to Aiden and Shirazu than he had been. So after about an hour in his room to decompress, he'd headed to the kitchen and started cooking. At some point Stan and Bruce had both joined him.

Almost everyone seems to want to take care of those who are remaining. Almost everyone.

The food this time is mostly soup and sandwiches - nothing fancy, nobody's in the mood to appreciate it - but it's there set up in the dining room by the time everyone (alive) receives notes under their doors. ...He slips an extra one for Sigrun under Mettaton's door, just in case.]

[name],
If you want to spend this time by yourself, that's fine.
If you'd rather have some company, there's food in the dining room, and you're all welcome there.
If you want to take some food and go, that's fine, too.
Take care of yourself.
-Cherryblod, Stan, Bruce

[Bruce shakes his head at the question, giving Cherryblod a small smile.]

No, I'm fine. Thank you for asking, though.

[cherryblooded]

Nothing to thank me for. It's what I do.

[Every week, more or less on the dot.]

[amygdalae]

And we're all glad that you're here for it.

[His dadly presence has been a help for most, he knows.]

[cherryblooded]

Well, I try.

[...even though he's not too sure how much good he really does.]

[amygdalae]

[He does a lot of good, don't worry.]

As are all of us.

[cherryblooded]

You're doing well, I think. Trying.

[amygdalae]

I appreciate the support.

[He will continue to try, too.]

[cherryblooded]

That's what I'm good for. Support.

[As always.]

[amygdalae]

You're very good at that.

[cherryblooded]

...Sometimes it seems like I'm not good enough.

[amygdalae]

Perhaps, but I think people appreciate the effort all the same.

[cherryblooded]

Would rather see results than just appreciation.

[amygdalae]

I'm sure those will come with time.

[cherryblooded]

...Well, if you're sure.

[He's not.]

[amygdalae]

People always will come to eventually appreciate the kindness of others.

[That's one thing Bruce at least knows to be true most of the time. And its not like the people still alive here are inherently bad from what he can tell.]
