[ He is, in fact, not thinking of the aquarium. He could be thinking about the ocean (he has little to no problems with the ocean, and he still loves it despite his fears) but he's not. ]
Well. So. The dolphin's meant to be an amulet to bring joy and balance, the whale represents, um, [ So Dust may have noticed D2 is prone to blushing whenever, it's just something his face does and he's often not embarrassed then- but the blush on his face is, this time, definitely an embarrassed, awkward, uncertain one. ] the ʻohana, the hānai which, means family, the latter less biological than the former, um, I... don't know if it's okay with you if I consider you family but um...
[ D2 falters. He really doesn't know if it's okay. ]
[The comment stuns Dust as few other things ever have, in life or death. Family? Him?]
I've... never had a family. And I mean that literally. One of my souls did, but otherwise... I don't really know what one is, and what one is like. But I'm -- I don't know what to say. But in a good way.
[ It was weird, wasn't it? They had known each other for how long? Barely a year? Just about? But still, this was how he felt and it wasn't often he could find a way to express himself about it.. ]
Technically I don't know either but I still think so, so, you don't mind it?
[ If Dust says he doesn't know what to say in a good way? ]
[Chuckling, Dust releases some of the pressure in his fingers. His pockets are safe enough, until he can give them a proper home somewhere, a place of honor.]
There's nothing like something being meant or not. Life takes you different places, because of your and other peoples decisions, and you can't really control everything but that doesn't mean that it's meant to be. You're here, so it means it's not over yet.
[ Besides, as Hakkai said once long ago, it might not be a permanent death, either. ]
Considering I was created for a purpose, it kind of was meant... but I'm growing past that, here. Despite how troubling it is. [Though he IS dead. So that kind of skews the point...]
I lost a friend, trying to have something more. I should have listened to my instinct and done nothing. [No matter what the consequences of that would be.]

I still think it's bull. But I doubt you'll listen to me, if you've already made up your mind.
