[ Does that count? The raven struggles to flutter off his shoulder but the transition into an arctic fox is smooth nevertheless and she moves to busy herself with some unnecessary exploring as she limps around. ]
... You're more than what you can offer, Kim Dokja.
[ It's difficult for him to form words. Joonghyuk has always been one to speak with his actions and even then those are usually misconstrued. There's some apprehension, worry that he isn't conveying what he wants to say properly.
I have always admired how you always have so much to give. You're incredible passionate in your interests... And you love with all of your heart. [ ... ] But I detest that you so willingly give.
[ Niah.... what the fuck. Are you hungry? Jin watches with some fascination.
Despite Dokja blinking wildly over at Joonghyuk as if he's grown another head. Not having expected those words, he's at a clear loss of words. There's some suspicion- why is he saying all of this? Confused, grasping at air as that sense of loss lingers there. ]
[ Tuesday had been a lot. Wednesday was... well, a break from it. From everything. But even that didn't completely relieve them of it all. And now he's hearing this?
This week has been pretty exhausting. Jin is completely silent, just as Dokja looks off to the side. Thinking. ]
I give what I have to. [ What he should. After all, why wouldn't he give everything for a story that saved him? ]
[ It is just a nice thing and suddenly both of them are tired? Two people who have gone through hell for years and now they're like oof that's enough when a compliment is thrown somewhere.
His head snaps to Dokja, frowning. Frustration sparks, then a bed of sorrow. ]
You've done enough.
[ He has said that before and genuinely he believes that. ]
[ The two of them have gone through too much to just take a compliment nicely. It really shows in how they both feel this exhausted. At Joonghyuk's words, Dokja can't help but huff a laugh. ]
Not yet I haven't.
[ Even if Joonghyuk geuninely feels that way, Dokja does not. It's the opposite. He doesn't feel remotely close to having done enough. Hasn't come close to repaying the favor. Jin freezes, peering in Dokja's direction. ..He sighs. ]
I'm gonna go back to exploring. [ He'll take another look around, before eventually going to the bookshop, because there's no way he's going back to the mansion today. ]

Part of the task.
