[ he smiles a bit forlornly, reminiscing on the old days — on simpler times. ] I think you could have managed.
[ but you chose not to. ]
I am a brat, according to you. I wonder what that makes you. [ he leans back onto his hands. ] Probably a priss.
[ and then there's a tilt of the head. ]
I guess we've both changed over the years, huh?
[ for the better. for the better. there's something morose in his features. ]
It's cause you're an old man, Weiss. Your joints are bad. I have to train you — make you do exercises with me early in the morning so you don't fall apart.
[ It is all an act, of course. Like he would feel any honest offense towards Nier after all the time that they have been together. He crosses his arms over his chest, breathes out slow and nods. ]
We have. [ Once he remembered everything, he could have carried out his true duty. But he knew that he couldn't. He changed too much over the years. He was given the chance to care and admire the people that he traveled with; he was given the time to come to care about the broken world they all lived in. ]
I wonder how much we will change as we help out these people. [ But he thinks that it will be good for everyone. No longer are they having to worry about their own world -- and its destruction. No, instead they can think of saving others. ]
An old man, am I? Well, I suppose that I am, yes. Ugh, I can't believe that you're going to be taking me out doing exercises every day. You should just find me a comfortable chair to sit in and that would be it. [ He carefully hold the flower in his hand -- even if there are many, he is careful with the one he has been given. He runs his fingers down the petals. ] I finally am able to retire from all the nonsense of being a hero, and yet I'm dragged back into it.
[ he releases a laugh, low and short lived. neither of them are especially expressive people, but they communicate in their own ways. ]
I don't know how much more I can change at this point. [ this is because he is entirely unware of the fact that he will one day, develop into a topless, incredibly brutish middle aged dad. nobody tell him. ] But it'd be nice to see you relax more. These people have shown me nothing but kindness — so I want to protect them, no matter what.
[ yonah was gone. the rest of the world would follow suit. his eyes flicker up, a silence overtaking him as he contemplates exactly why he's still sitting here, alive in one piece.
but then he notices weiss holding the flower in between his fingers. the corners of his lips twitch up, features softening. ]
The witch gives us missions. You're going to have to be on your feet. [ the prosect of it is hilarious — until he remembers what weiss is like under pressure. god damn it. ] You're going to finally realize what a pain in the ass the Forest of Myth was. Floating everywhere's more convenient then you realize...
20 situps and 10 pushups every morning. How's that sound? I'm starting you off easy. [ he looks really contented with himself, leaning back onto his elbows again. ]
So you'll go on fool's errands for them. [ It is a statement. Of course, Nier would do anything and everything that he can for those that he wants to protect. ] I've traveled with you this far ... a little farther will be fine. [ Weiss finds it funny that they have once more run into each other. Especially in this afterlife.
But he lets that go to go on the "defensive." ]
You have a young body so the Forest of Myth should have been a cake-walk. I'm certain it's an exaggeration of how bad it actually was. Also! Complaining about it far after the fact... [ He lets out a small huff that dissolves into a choke. ]

Are you mad?! That hardly sounds easy!
