[ She doesn't know their lives? She doesn't know when's a good time to help people out if they don't have their shit ready for it? She was forward enough in offering her help. That's five steps more than she'd usually take.
Well, it's five steps in the opposite direction that she'd usually take - which is walking away from people because she's usually more of a detriment than not.
Much quieter: ]
I'm not running to leave you or Yonah.
[ She prefers to be with him, always, and Yonah is always sweet. ]
[ It's something he's said often enough when she doesn't say in so many words how much she thinks she doesn't deserve what she has, how much she doesn't actually ask for more despite wanting it. Kainé can live without Nier, but she doesn't want to live in a world he doesn't exist. That's her greatest truth.
She can't say how much he is still the most important to her, how much she would drop everyone else just for him, but he isn't wrong. She does care deeply for more people than their small found family of misfits in their broken world. ]
But here is fine.
[ Here with him is always more than enough. ]
We have time.
[ Now that his existence isn't going to disappear. ]
[ It's true... Nier does want her to have more. A part of him just wants her to be happy and it can come from so many places and people. She got to see that in Wiwaldi. There are people who want to protect her, despite what she did. Despite knowing what she is (he is assuming).
Because of how their relationship developed, he has some inkling of a thought that he's incredibly important to her. He wouldn't say that he is the most important, considering Emil exists, but... He knows he means a lot. The grip on her hand tightens. ]
[ ... The point is: he's happy, though he wonders how much he should endure. He has some place to retaliate over being called a fucking idiot all the time, right?
[ Was the retaliation worth it, Nier? Someday, she will share her food with him, and it will be sweet(?), but today is not that day.
She takes the second churro, and she watches the line to this ride barely move. He can probably feel her getting a little antsy, and she nibbles on her second churro as if to stave it off. ]
[ There's something that flits over her expression, something that could almost be apologetic, but all she does is take another bite of her churro - and then gives his hand the briefest of squeezes after a moment. She's not here to fight with him every second, but she's volatile.
He makes her emotional even with the littlest things, and she can only react with anger and violence. ]
This is how they get you to come the fuck back.
[ If she knew about capitalism, this is where she'd say fucking capitalism. ]
[ Kainé really went feral animal that won’t let handlers touch her food to being apologetic. Nier finds it very amusing even though it’s his food in jeopardy.
At the end of her sentence, Nier basically offers her his churro!! Take a bite for your revenge! ]
That makes it too costly, even if we only go on smaller rides… I don’t think they let you camp here, either. I saw they had “hours of operation” or something.
[ He reads something on the map that catches his attention. ]
I’ll ask some of these people about that other line.
[ She's only vaguely apologetic. She's not sorry for batting him away from her food, but sometimes, she wonders if she can be a little less violent. It's too late for that now.
She pushes his hand away. She doesn't need his churro. ]
Are you saying it isn't worth it for Yonah?
[ But she makes a hand shooing motion. He can go talk to other people. ]
[ Yonah deserves everything, but big brother also wants to be efficient with his spending. Nier takes back the churro then and eats it before politely asking the person next to them.
It's a friendly chat. Of course, it is. Nier is amicable. ]
It's a fast line for people that have a specific pass.
[ Headcanon chats where Yonah thinks Kainé won’t tell, but doesn’t explicitly tell her not to tell, so Nier gets an earful, anyway. I love that. Anyway, Nier doesn’t know the extent of Yonah’s loneliness, let alone grasp how long he had been gone… Life is just bad and sometimes you have trouble seeing what truly matters.
But! He wants to rectify it this time, so he wants a good didney trip. Nier nods at her words—they need a pass!!! ]
They told me we can pay for one at an information booth, so I’ll be back.
[ It’s really funny how feral they are, but Nier holds the single normal braincell. He gestures for Kainé to hold their place again as he leaves, but he does return shortly after with the glorious fast passes! He flashes them at her with a small grin as an indication they can move on ahead in the separate line. ]
[ He does not know. She knows he doesn't know the depth to how lonely he's made his sister. For as much as he prioritizes Yonah, he doesn't think of her feelings nearly as much as he should.
She finishes her second churro in the time it takes him to get the fast passes.
Time to beat these lines. Hell yeah! She looks a little excited. The anticipation of an amusement park ride... this normal kind of fun... Who would have ever thought they'd have a date like this?
She grabs her hand and they hustle through the fast line. ]
[ We sure love a dumb bitch of a man. Nier also finishes his first... Churro. His only churro. But now he's being guided through the fast lane! He sees some people ahead of them moving quickly, same for some behind them, then they finally meet an actual line.
It's quite short and it doesn't take long till they're seated in the ride. All of it is "futuristic" to Nier, so he's looking everywhere as the ride revs up. ]
This was really fast?
[ Nier thought it was expensive, but he is seeing the benefit now. The fast pass is worth it, but also he has a lot of money. ]
[ Is Nier just cashing in all the gold he didn't spend at the end of the game? Is that where all his money is coming from?
They are strapped in. The bar of the ride comes down across their laps. It's very futuristic, but Kainé is looking forward to how fast it'll be. ]
Fucking worth it, however much it cost.
[ To save on that much time. She would also think it's pricy once she hears the price tag, but even if you can take the girl out of being poor, you can't take the poor mindset away.
It has been years since I've been on Space Mountain, but all roller coasters start slow enough to talk for a bit. ]
It is dark at first, but there will be lights soon. Very space and futuristic, neon before they get shot into a space filled with stars. Someone on youtube didn't do a terrible job catching some of it. ]
The book deserves to get the pages scared out of his spine, but I don't regret leaving him behind today.
[ It wouldn't be much of a Disney date with Weiss third wheeling and making remarks that'd just get them to bicker and maybe sour the mood.
This is when the roller coaster picks up speed, and Kainé vibrates with anticipation, her lips curving a little—not that Nier can see in this lighting. ]
[ Personally, he thinks it's endearing when they fight? ]
Maybe another time.
[ He laughs a little, but then goes quiet to all of the lights? It's really pretty... A lot of colors and combinations he hasn't seen before. No, he can't see in this lighting that she's smiling.
Eventually, the ride speeds up as the light dims again. Nier's eyes grow wide—he really wished he went on rides in that Disney AU... A handful of his friends was there. And tree. At times, he looks over to Kainé as if to check her expression, but HE CAN'T SEE. ]
[ Not all their fights are good-natured, Nier. Kainé knows contempt more often than noth. She's only sure that Emil and he love her. Weiss is up in the air, depending on the day.
In the dark, her expression is more open and delighted, especially when it accelerates to max speed. She's an adrenaline junkie on a good day. She laughs.

no subject
[ It comes to a surprise to him? Because that isn't what he was thinking at all. ]
Sorry, if that was what it sounds like. It's just that you have your own life, with other people you care for deeply now.
[ So he wants to make sure that she knows she's allowed to come and go as she pleases. He will be fine with Yonah. ]

no subject
She would put Emil over him, but it doesn't negate his importance. She looks away from him. ]
Don't be be a fucking idiot.
[ She's not angry, but there's no question of her staying with him considering how ready she was to drag him back from whatever nonexistence he had.
She chomps on her churro. ]
no subject
Nier leans over to chomp on her churro. ]
no subject
Who said he was allowed to retaliate? She jabs him hard with her elbow. This she doesn't care if others see. ]
Eat your fucking own!
no subject
[ PLease. Why is she so possessive over her food!! ]
We still have three churros, Kainé?
no subject
She stares at his hand, the hand not holding hers. ]
You are holding two, asshole!
[ She finishes the churro in her hand. ]
no subject
[ He gives her the new, untouched churro. ]
no subject
[ Was the retaliation worth it, Nier? Someday, she will share her food with him, and it will be sweet(?), but today is not that day.

no subject
[ He's serious about this, though the long line has him wondering a bit more. ]
There are a lot of rides, but also a lot of lines... How are we supposed to go on a lot of them?
[ Except they can see there's another line, or people going there and zooming. Hm. ]

We need to get that pass.

This kind of reminds me of the carts in the Junk Heap… Except smoother.
[ I’m assuming that it’s dark at first. Nier’s nerves are vibrating softly, excited for the unknown. What is the “fun” of rollercoasters? ]
Maybe we should have brought Weiss. He’d definitely get scared.
no subject
[ So yeah, a lot smoother.
It is dark at first, but there will be lights soon. Very space and futuristic, neon before they get shot into a space filled with stars. Someone on youtube didn't do a terrible job catching some of it. ]
