“Free? That’s—“ That’s good, Firo wants to say, beginning to smile.
Oh, fuck, not this death shit again.
As Firo listens, he twitches, about to shake his head. He only stops when he reminds himself that he needs to keep Roland grounded, so he shouldn’t mess with his hands. Even if having a conversation like this is a little awkward, it’d be more awkward when Roland’s completely bonkers. So Firo holds himself as still as he can for now.
“No! I already told you, we’re not dead. You’re not dead—they just fucked up your head. You’ll probably be fine soon. Yeah, you’re not sober at all right now, but I think this stuff wears off eventually…” Better not to think too long on what would happen if it didn’t.
“We’re both humans. Not ghosts—I didn’t…” He knows why he probably looks shocked, and it’s certainly not from seeing a ghost. He sighs; does he really want to get into that now? Or ever? It’s embarrassing and better off forgotten. At the same time, Roland could be in trouble if he never learns not to kiss other guys.
“…Look, it’s fine what just happened, but you really shouldn’t go around kissin’ people for no reason.” He frowns harder. That just sounds stupid in the middle of this conversation. "Anyway, the important thing right now is that we're not ghosts or dead. I'll punch you to prove it, if you want."
Firo doesn't believe in ghosts, but he knows that most people who believe in them think they can't touch things. So this is probably a good way to prove it to Roland.
