⏳💫Switch A Loop: Talking to Loop after Talking to The King!💫⏳
Context: “Memory of Loss” post!
*Isabeau was back at the Favor Tree…
*Hunched over on Dormont's ground.
*He feels like he wants to throw up…
*…
*He stands up and slowly walked to towards it, crossing his arms.
*Just a few moments later, Oldie came rushing to the foot of the tree and yelled.
Odile: LOOP. OUT. NOW.
*Isabeau grip tightened at the side of his shoulders.
Isabeau: We just want to talk... Please?
*There was a pause for a moment, and then a bright light under the tree. Loop wasn't looking at them, instead choosing to floor.
Loop: I told you that something bad would happen if you did that...
Odile: No, something bad happening would just have the King kill us. What happened in that loop was MUCH worse...
Loop: Then why are you yelling at me!? It's not my fault! I didn't know that king would kill them!
*Isabeau flinched at that line. Odile pressed in the middle of her temple, trying her best to keep her boiling anger aside.
Odile: But you told us that you would know what would happen in these loops, suddenly you didn't think of the possibility that something could happen to Bonniface?
Loop: I thought that it would be DIFFERENT! That YOU would be smart enough to make sure that wouldn't happen to them! That you do the SMART thing and let the Traveler be the one to-
*Isabeau snapped. He groaned at Loop, startling Odile and Loop.
Isabeau: Change, Is that LITERALLY all you can say? "Aw" That sucks! Maybe if Siffrin was the one who did this, blah blah blah blah blah-!" Like, that wouldn't change anything! We would be just as upset if it was Siffrin!
*Loop clenches their fist, but he didn't care.
Isabeau: Look, I get it. You seem to have some irrational hatred towards Sif. Let's agree to disagree, but that gives you no right to badmouth him or joke about him to us! He is our friend!Besides, he couldn't have known that would-
Loop: Yes he should have.
Isabeau: Hey, I wasn't finished-!
Loop: WELL, YOU DON'T GET TO FINISH!
*Loop jumps off the Favor Tree, and run straight up to Isabeau. Wow, they're a lot smaller than he expected.
Loop: YOU DON'T GET TO LECTURE ME ABOUT HOW I TALK ABOUT THE TRAVELER! IRRATIONAL HATRED? HA! IF YOU KNEW WHAT I KNEW, I BET YOU-!
Mirabelle: Guys!
*Everyone turned to see both Mirabelle and Bonnie staring at them. Mirabelle was holding Bonnie's sunhat for them.
*Bonnie slowly walks up to Loop, who anger seemingly dissipates when the sight of them.
Bonnie: Please... Please don't be mad at Frin... It was my idea to have him talk to the king. I tripped while trying to runaway. If anything, I'm the one that messed it all up..
Isabeau: Bonnie...
* Surprisingly, Loop knees down to Bonnie and gently holds their tiny hands.
Loop: No, No... It's no one's fault. Not you or your Traveler's... It just... Brought up some unpleasant old memories... It's a me problem, don't worry.
*It was silent for a while... The Loop spoke.
Loop: [Congrats, Everyone! You got "Memory of Loss"! Unfortunately, you will never forget this! With this memory, your Traveler will be able to read books from their country! Oh, but be careful! It's best if we leave the past behind. You won't want to worry your forgetful little friend, now would we?]
* Loop pauses for a moment, and looks Bonnie in their eyes.
Loop:.. I'm sorry, Bonnie...
*Just like that, Loop stands up and goes back to the Favor Tree. The others slowly go back to the Clock Tower.
*Isa was thinking about Loop still, weirdly about how short they were! He guessed he never really considered it, since Loop always at sat in the Favor Tree. And just now, they said Bonnie's name after almost never saying any of theirs.
*And their eye's!
*They.
*Were.
*Just.
*Like.
*...
* Maybe…
*…
* He should talk to Odile about it, first…
