I'm not tired. I'm mad.

[cranelike]

Ah, so you're cranky.

[third_alternative]

I'm not--!!

Don't make it sound like I'm just a baby who missed naptime!

[cranelike]

Ah, but you are a child.

(He says it plainly, as if he's stating a fact as obvious as the sky being blue and water being wet,)

With so much to learn and more to grow.

[third_alternative]

You don't get to tell me that when you don't look any older than I do! Grow like, I don't know, at least half a beard first.

[cranelike]

I'm afraid I can't.

(He crosses his arms into his sleeves,)

This is just how I am.

But feel free to speak your mind, Rex-kun.

[third_alternative]

What am I supposed to say?

[ scoffs and leans his head against his arms, looking somehow like he's both limp and giving up, but also incredibly tense and wired. ]

S'not like it's gonna change any of what just happened.

[cranelike]

(Calmly,)

What's done is done. Even going back can't change it.

But what will you do now? It's far from over.

[third_alternative]

What else is there to do? I'm gonna get to the bottom of it.

[ bold words for someone who has no idea how to do that tho ]

[cranelike]

...

(He's quiet, observing Rex for a moment and giving a light, unreadable sort of smile,)

It's important to not lose spirit.

And what is your plan?

[third_alternative]

[ grits his teeth because, well, that's the crux of the problem, isn't it. ]

I don't know. Ask around, smash stuff, see what happens, go from there.

[cranelike]

(Calmly,)

Work with others. Speak to everyone you can. You aren't alone.

[third_alternative]

What, like you know so much more about what's going on?

[ WHO DIED AND MADE YOU THE ARBITER OF DIRECTIONS ]

[cranelike]

(Just!! Smiles!! That same smile he can often be found with-- light, carefree, casual, easy, and natural... but it doesn't reach the eyes, like there's some distance there.)

Do you like history?

(RANDOM QUESTION??)

[third_alternative]

What? Like, as a subject in school?

...not really.
