You can't actually be strong forever. Subconsciously, Vincenzo has been well aware of that for a good while and he's known that it was going to have to happen soon. He hasn't had time for it, though. There are more important things than his mental health (so he says) and so he hasn't let himself fall to pieces

*come on, he's a Pendergast, he spends lots of time in libraries, and no matter what he might be working on, family is always, always more important -- that is, he'll be carefully kneeling next to him and setting a hand at his shoulder, not saying anything yet*

[therainbowsheep]

*may or may not curse under his breath, but he'll look up and open one eye and immediately attempt to force himself to be okay* Li-- Lio.

[battlealmostwon]

*...flinches, then -- quietly and as calmly as possible* Vincenzo. What -- is it?

[therainbowsheep]

Nothing. It doesn't matter. *these are not the tears he's wiping away that you are looking for*

*fjlkdsfs -- who knows what he's doing here, but the point is, the sadness of people Brynne likes is automatically bad and despite being sort of terrified of him, he does like Vincenzo -- point being, crouches next to him* ...um -- Vincenzo?

[therainbowsheep]

*and here we are sounding a bit forced, because dammit, we're not supposed to be this screwed up* Fucking hell. Hi, Xathanael.

[angeloffire_]

*cringes faintly* You don't have t-- 'm I supposed to ask what's wrong?

[therainbowsheep]

I'll probably lie to you if you do.

*hey, libraries are useful resources for floristly people such as Joash* *hesitates a moment, one hand at the bookcase above him, then -- quietly, not moving just yet* Can I help?

[therainbowsheep]

*Joash actually happens to be one of the few people he's not going to pretend to be okay around (...which means possibly the only one other than maybe Viola), so yes, he's still sobbing here* Can you make it stop?

[notperseus]

*can't help sounding a little pained* That depends on what you want to stop. Some things I can help, and -- some things I can't.

[therainbowsheep]

It's -- I -- I just -- I don't fucking have time to -- to be like this.

[messofinnocence]

*oh no, it's Tristanfamily and he's sad, why do people important to people we love keep being hurt ;_______;* *sounding honestly rather worried, crouching slightly, hands on his knees, in order to study him* Hi. You look sort of shitty.

[therainbowsheep]

*that's enough to choke a bit of a startled laugh out of him* Only sort of?

[messofinnocence]

Understatement, babe. *shrugs* Hey, maybe you just cry for fun, I wouldn't want to make assumptions about a Pendergast, right?

[therainbowsheep]

*yes, Erebus, you get a glare* Of course not.

[werehereitsnow]

*--gah, this isn't good; and despite the fact that he's sometimes vaguely evil, he still adores his entire family, and definitely Vincenzo* *awkwardly; not knowing exactly what to do*

...Fuck. Are you okay? I mean -- you're obviously not, but--

[therainbowsheep]

Do me a favor and pretend I'm being sarcastic and bitch at you so I don't have to expend the energy to manage to actually be so.

[werehereitsnow]

*recovers his cool a bit, leaning against the wall near him* If I do that, then fuck, you might as well pretend I'm threatening you back -- because I don't think I can do that right now. Should I go, or do you want to talk?

[therainbowsheep]

*takes a moment to get himself under control* Don't -- I shouldn't be alone right now.
