[ judging from their silhouette, ramiel doesn't look away from him. ]
This is why it would be better if everyone could decide how they looked. [ a little petulant, honestly. ] You wouldn't have to suffer the judgment of others. And they would be exposed to more and more ways for people to look.
... I'm sorry. That wasn't fair of them. An injury is just an injury, no matter what it looks like. And a child with no control of their form, who only wanted to help someone shouldn't be condemned for it.
[ the petulance is cute, and it makes yves smile - even if it's just a small, soft one. it remains even when ramiel continues and he looks back over to them ]
... thanks.
I appreciate you saying so. I think they must've been doing the best they could with what they knew at the time... but it's part of why I... struggle, I guess.
Why I think I'd like to look for an option to remove my scar, if it exists.
What could they have known or not known at the time to make them afraid of an injury? A burn is not contagious.
[ huff. they are offended that people would treat him poorly for it, first and foremost. but also so used to the idea of choosing your own appearance that it seems like a perfectly reasonable solution to them. ]
I don't see why God couldn't change it for you, when the time comes. Well, I can't promise that, but...
[ ramiel you are so valid.... yves just smiles at the defensiveness and huffiness on his behalf, leaning into the warmth of it. he's not used to it, even now. so many people still know him for his freaky face, and so many days he has to pretend that he doesn't hear the comments. that they don't still sting. ]
... that's okay if you can't.
Knowing it might be possible at least lets me look at the options a little differently. I can make a choice if I'm able to accomplish redemption.

And you should be free to make your choice with as many options as possible.
