[ it isnโt just the voice thatโs different. lucienโs entire presence has suddenly changedโor, no, even that doesnโt feel quite right. itโs someone else entirely, just close enough to butt in at a momentโs notice. ]
I'm not the one calling the shots, that's just how it is.
[ He senses some attachment to Lucien from Dextera that kind of reminds him of how it'd felt when he'd first met Yoko. That itchy feeling of being not the favorite of the two personalities. ]
He's fine, he isn't hurt. He's still me.
[ Defensively bundles themselves together now in attempt to make Dextera to like him... ]
dextera can feel that little flare of defensiveness, and itโs endearing if he imagines lucien, but the voice heโs hearing from dark is so utterly different that he canโt actually make the image match for long. ]
Heโs you?
[ itโs not entirely impossible to understand, but heโs baiting more details. ]
My consciousness reincarnated into the same human soul as him, so yeah. We're the same person.
[ For now and because it's confusing to even himself, Dark doesn't drop the deets on the kid's secret self-awareness. Lucien has addressed Dark directly a couple of times in their headspace before now but otherwise ignores him. He must not like him very much... ]
That's why we wound up with two shards but one body. You were really interested in that, weren't you?
[ dextera doesnโt like dark having that knowledge. it feels as if someone has eavesdropped on a private conversation, even if what he says is true and couldnโt be helped. ]
I guess you weren't planning to tell either one of us. Of course we'd be interested when you react to it the way you did. Does this mean we've got to start keeping secrets too?
[ dextera doesnโt feel that itโs a matter of sensitivityโฆ but maybe he is being emotional about this. he thinks he deserves to. ]
I would have told Lucien.
[ he realizes, of course, that this means the other personality would have known is this conversation is any indication, but now heโs just being petty. ]

Don't worry, I'm a way more interesting character. I'm the protagonist! Lucien's just my plot device.
[ He presumes so, anyway... ]
