You cringe. That’s disgusting. You didn’t like it. No breathing? Breathing was life. You listen quietly as he explains his unfortunate accident. You shudder as well.
“… well… sorry for bringing that back up.” You sigh. “if you ever have breathing problems, just whistle or say my true name three times. i’ll come to you and make sure you get enough air in your lungs! i’ll even go inside of you myself if you have to!” You exclaim. It’s a bit ridiculous to proposition but you suggest it anyway. It makes you feel better and makes you feel useful.
“a game that lets you have powers. kinda spooky.” You say. You’re a wind spirit. You fail to notice the irony in your words. “so you can control me? like… could you make me flip upside down or push me around if you wanted to?” You’re curious now. You don’t mind him talking. You like talking to this older, human John. You like being with him.
>you shake your head
no, it’s fine. i’ve had to explain it a lot anyways, so i’m kind of used to bringing it up. i mean, it landed me in the hospital for a month, it’s kind of a hard topic to avoid.
>you smile slightly and nod.
i’ll remember that, thank you.
>you chuckle, both at the game thing and the spooky thing. you don’t think he really noticed what he said, and how it’s kind of ironic.
yeah, it sounds kind of spooky and ridiculous and stuff. i don’t know if i could flip you or push you or whatever, since you’re basically air itself, but maybe? i don’t know. but i can do things like lift myself with the wind or hover, and i can shift the wind and stuff, among other things.
>you shrug a little
but i rarely do much other than the hovering thing, because i don’t like messing with the wind too much. the only reason i do the hovering thing is when i don’t feel like walking but wanna get away for a bit, like you know how i’m walking now. well, sometimes i just kind of hover myself high in the air for a while to relax, or hover myself to the high roof of a building, then chill. the other times are i’m heading somewhere. i haven’t wanted to drive a car or anything for a while, i got into an accident that makes me uneasy when driving. so i kind of use it to get around, sometimes, if where i’m going’s kinda far.
i guess it sounds kind of weird.
