Now that everyone's calmed down and your colorful friends have looked you over and determined that you're alright, you can take some time to yourselves to process that... and make preparations for leaving the Void.
"No sense sticking around here any longer! We've been working on getting a new base up and running for you guys, so we'll be heading back soon!"
"Do not expect too much of it. It was the most we could do on such short notice."
"But that's where you all come in; together, we can make a place that we can call 'home', at least for the time being!"
[ They knew close details about Jasper - hard not to, given the state of everything; unfortunately, they have had no limit to their own frustrations about the invasion of one's mind and the like. Of course, they did more fighting physical enemies rather than fighting specters of the mind this time around.
But, seeing Jasper go off on his own, Void Archives decides to approach. As they basically flounced but overheard the confessions, the blond had to wonder if he was exactly glad to get it off of his chest. Or, instead...there was something else. ]
...Quite a difficult time it's been, hm?
[ They're not good at asking such normal questions people ask when they check up on others, but they are giving it their best effort here... ]
I don't usually have need for such things. Though, even I must admit that I will be seeking something like a restful state - particularly if indeed a good night's sleep can be achieved. We do deserve that.
[ Whatever has been wrung out of them all, the blond fiercely believes that well enough.
There's a small pause, as if Void Archives is considering something, and they tilt their head ever so slightly. ]
...Did it feel liberating, speaking of your actions aloud, a short while ago, by the way? Or, was it something you feel was a necessity, given everything that has been happening to all of us, as of late?
Ah... that does sound like it would get boring, though.
[naps can be inconvenient. but they're good....]
...
I think it was something of both, if you want the truth. I spoke candidly with Tails after we started wandering through each others' memories because I thought it would introduce less complications if I prevented it to our organizers, and what we spoke about felt... well. I do not know if I would say I felt better, but I felt there was something enriching about it.
Usually I would have something to occupy myself - saw no reason to rest, whether it was due to pursuing my plans or otherwise. [ An amused smile as they recall the first words they said about reaching "freedom of mind". ] Here, though, it has...the potential to become an experience that would be a world of difference.
Therefore, I do see the merit in it now.
[ They certainly do mean it. There are multiple reasons as to why they will be eager to try it out. Though, they take pause to digest the man's words in regards to their questions. ]
Speaking on such complex subjects rarely does invite an ultimate feeling of simply just satisfaction. But, I suppose you'd be speaking of something of relief, hm? One's actions can easily be felt as a weight on the shoulders as any other burden - especially if they're particularly immense, and have had their share of consequences.
[ At this, their lips curl upwards into something that seems to hang along amusement, but it's something of a considering, thoughtful smile - for them, anyway. ]
Many things? Like what?
It sounds as if you may have something else on your mind? Do remember that you have a willing listener who has every intention of hearing such things better than anyone else, hm~?
[ They also do so happen to draw nearer now, letting themselves settle by Jasper's side properly; though, that action is natural as anything, even brushing their shoulder up against the man. Perhaps somewhere between playful, but also a reminder in a way that easily bypasses words themselves. ]
Mm. Well, do believe I understand the notion. I am, admittedly, not much of a secret keeper, as I oft do speak of such private matters with ease. But, I have unloaded certain subjects when they've felt like too much to hold onto. Except, I suppose, for my own tale of working as some sort of henchmen.

[...he'll bookmark for Void Archives, at least.]
It sounds as though our new base may be somewhat lacking, but I suppose it will be fine if I can get a good night's sleep.

[...hm.]
...and yes. Indeed. I have been keeping things secret for so long that I suppose I simply got tired of bearing it by this point.
