week 4 - after the execution (were you expecting this much sin to start)
[ Thankfully, Undyne caught Break while swooning, which truly saves him from just cracking his head on something. Thanks, Undyne! ]
[ Wherever Gilbert manages to drag Break, it's probably a worrying while for him. Even if Break is unconscious, those deathshocks still affect him, so his breathing stays even, but rapid and heavy, like he's eternally trying to catch his breath, and he sweats fairly heavily. It probably doesn't sound good either, considering the state of Break's lungs (probably), so his breath rattles with effort the longer he's out.
Yet roughly four hours after he passes out, he suddenly takes a much deeper breath as he awakes that definitely has a note to it that implies a certain sense of fear. Hopefully Gilbert isn't nearby, because Break sits up in a flash and swings a fist. He also reaches for his cane where it would normally be sitting at his bedside, but I'm going to say that luckily, Gilbert had the sense to not put that in his reach so that turbosin doesn't happen... ]

at least we're consistent
[ He considers what he could direct Gilbert towards for a few moments, then nods with a laugh. ]
Actually, if you can find anything to knit, I'll do that. I don't really need to see so much as count~.
i mean, tru
[A SIGH... She just vanished and never returned and he hasn't spoken to her since, but he really should. He keeps getting distracted by murder...]
Oh— Knitting? All right. I'm sure there would be needles, at least. [Because what's a murder game without outlandish murder weapons??]
no subject
[ But he also knitted that in the Abyss after dragging her there himself, so...?? Don't question this because honestly he escaped that lecture somehow and he's not looking to get it belatedly. ]
I can't promise anything color-wise bu~ut I'll certainly make one for you, Gil~bert~. [ it will be literally the worst thing you've ever seen ]
no subject
Has it been that long? [IT FEELS... simultaneously like less and more time has passed. WEIRD. He also doesn't question that because he doesn't even remember Break just dragged Alice into the Abyss, what the fuck.
Gilbert also blanches in response to that super generous offer. No...]
Er— It's fine. I'm sure there are others here who need a scarf more.
no subject
...Ohhh? Are you rejecting my generous offer, Gilbert? My feelings will be hurt, you know~!
[ ha ha as if break has feelings ]
no subject
I'm saying I don't need a scarf! My wardrobe came with plenty of those!
no subject
So you're saying you don't want my scarf.
no subject
Stop putting words in my mouth! I'm just saying that other people who have fewer scarves could use it more, that's all...!
no subject
Aaaaaah!! Gilbert is truly a cruel, cruee—
[ But there, his voice cracks, and Break just busts out into a coughing fit. He's an idiot that doesn't know when to quit, so his body is just answering that question for him. Good job, Break. ]
no subject
But oh, oops, he almost forgot that Break was suffering from Extreme Chest Pains since he was acting so normal?! CONCERN. Gilbert's brow immediately furrows and he (very quickly) leaves the topic of scarves behind to go get a glass of water.]
Here— Don't push yourself too hard. The effects will still last until the morning, even if you're awake.
[He Knows.]
no subject
[ If nothing else, the coughing fit at least gets Break to shut up, because even if Break acts normally under stress, this is because he's more or less used to it. He's at least not coughing up blood, but he does sit up a bit as Gilbert gets water, since he'll take a glass now. ]
It's not that bad...
[ And comparatively speaking, it isn't. The pain and exhaustion that comes when he uses the Mad Hatter is far worse, and he's learned to bear that as best he can. He takes a glass of water and takes a generous swig of it before he pulls the glass away with a sigh. ]
It just... caught me by surprise.
no subject
Even if it's not that bad, you should rest as much as you can.
[He doesn't even believe the "it's not that bad" part though.]
no subject
[ Break responds extremely petulantly, but he quickly finishes off the glass of water before mopping at his brow again. At least now that he's conscious, he's getting used to death shocks in a way that only Break can. It's like he's used to pushing his limits and then breaking down because of it... Weird. ]
I'll rest as much as I can until Friday, at least. The end of the week is naturally more important anyways, so it's not as if I'll be missing anything.
no subject
But Gilbert seems satisfied with that response and nods.]
Then I'll do what I can to help. I'll see about that yarn, and if I catch wind of anything, I'll report it immediately.
[Now he's Break's ears too, apparently.]
