[ dimitri puts in things randomly. a snack (cheese strings). a heavier meal (sandwiches). a drink (two java monsters, chosen because he thought the design looked fitting for the occasion. they're about to see the goddess). a pack of beef jerky (he pauses as he reads the description and realizes he misses ingrid so much, she'd love this kind of thing). some cutlery where he can find it. he goes back to grab a litre of cola because it's black liquid and he's never seen anything like it before; they can try it together.
all of these go into a tote bag, which he starts putting in sylvain's haul as well. and then they go towards the park, following street signs.
dimitri lifts their items, he carries them through the streets - insists on carrying it - so empty and quiet. now that he knows how much of his strength has been taken, the silence feels oppressive instead of just feeling curious and apprehensive over it.
they walk for a while in silence, until dimitri notes: ]
... it's heavy.
[ things haven't been heavy for him in a while. but he tries to keep his voice still as he says it, like it doesn't bother him (it does). ]
brought to u by my friend reminding me coffee is only in dagda/south in 3h
