"It isn't that simple-- why do you keep asking me to do that?" They're entangled together again-- something he shouldn't be engaging in anymore. On all accounts, these visits should have stopped the very moment any contact was made. It's getting difficult to justify coming out here when he finds himself asking less and less relevant questions-- instead sinking so deeply into Jack's bizarre, fleeting embraces.
Maybe he just enjoyed the implication that Jack needed him, whether he was simply an instrument for comfort or solace-- it didn't really matter, did it?
But when Jack expresses agitation when he begins to indicate it's time to take his leave, it's hard to tell where the prickliness comes from. Never quite physically preventing or deterring him from returning-- Sigma still had begun to notice an annoying increase in the amount of disapproval he expressed upon the doctor beginning to take his leave. Insisting that he didn't have to return to them, that Talon wasn't even good for him-- worst of all, asking him why; why he would ever return to them after every horrible thing they've subjected him to.
No matter what the soldier would claim, it was beginning to feel as though he wanted to know why Talon, and not him instead.
… But Jack won't even acknowledge what they've been doing-- the way they find themselves readily slipping beside one another as if they weren't actually enemies, or how, for the last six visits, not one question has been asked or answered in regards to either Talon or Overwatch. It's treated as if it were something unspoken, that if one of them were to break the silence in regards to it, that it would, finally, come to a conclusion. It isn't something he'd mind-- if only he'd stop pushing. Why would he push so hard for something he doesn't even acknowledge in open conversation? It would be nice to know what they were-- or even what they were doing together.
"… I still need them, Jack. They are the only ones capable of-- or even willing to-- returning me to the Lunar Colony. I cannot leave-- I have told you this." He speaks evenly, lavender eyes slipping shut as he suppresses the pang of frustration-- and avoids gazing up into Jack's eyes from where he lies draped over Sigma's chest lethargically. "-- Why must I adjust when I have made no such request of you…?" Sigma rasps tiredly, turning his head to the side to glance around the makeshift living space. "Is it because I refused to tell you the nature of my return to the Colony? Or is… something else on your mind…?" [some sigma angst for jack bc ♥]
. Sometimes he knew he could be less of what Sigma needed. Both due to his situation and due to how he viewed Talon. Sigma was different from them, he was part of them, he was both, somehow, and Jack's brain fought with that. To him, it was simple. Talon treated Sigma poorly, he should leave.
. Maybe part of it was that Jack still struggled to wrap his mind around what Sigma was, how he existed, how he functioned as he was. Sigma and Siebren were not the same. Siebren and he had a vastly different relationship than him and Sigma. But they were the same person. They were aware of each other, aware of him in relation to the other in a sense.
. Neither. Both. And then both again. Talon, Sigma, Siebren, Were all these things too tightly interlinked to ever truly be separated?
. It gave him a headache trying to understand all of it. Wouldn't it be simpler to be free of Talon? Suppose not.
. Maybe he really had been pushing Sigma too much about it. His hatred of Talon could have colored his tone, spilled annoyance into places it shouldn't be. He knew his determination could latch onto anything, become a nuisance that did not break until some goal was achieved, but here, it was not a nebulous goal (fix this, fix that, fix all of the things he broke), it was a man who very much knew what was at stake, knew what he risked coming out to spend so much time with Jack.
. Sigma's reaction more upset him in the sense that he despised the notion he could have caused more distress to the man.
. "No." There's a pause. What Sigma did for himself, Jack usually didn't question, so long as it was for himself and not for Talon (again, interlinked, of course). But, again, linked. He furrowed his brows, realizing that it was difficult to parse his feelings, sitting up more fully, then, his expression morphing to one of deep concentration. Their legs remained somewhat awkwardly threaded together, Jack doing nothing to pull more contact away. Talon, Sigma, Siebren, a tight mesh. Jack wished to pluck one or two threads out, but he could not, only making a mess of the tapestry that made up Sigma's life.
. "Just bothers me, I guess," he added after some moments. "But you're right." Of course. "Think it seems like hell for you working with them." It wasn't like anyone else really could (or would) help the scientist get back to the Colony. Resources were thin everywhere, and Sigma's entire situation was difficult to explain- not to mention Talon's hands in things. The second they found out, they'd come down on him anyways, of that Jack was certain. Finally, he looked back down at the man. "I'm sorry. You're right."
. Maybe, in the end, it was that something else. Frustration that he'd fallen for someone inside of Talon, frustration at where he was in the world (and his own choices that led him there), frustration that he'd laughed off retirement and love a hundred times as Strike-Commander when the two of those were the only things he wanted at the moment. A part of it remained the frustration that he couldn't adequately give Sigma much. A place to rest, an ear to listen, some meals, a few laughs. Nothing concrete, nothing that would last. He'd give the world just to have a place they could live quietly.
. If he could even admit what they were to himself, much less Sigma or Siebren.
. "I'll see you next time, then?" His features softened considerably, now, part of a smile on tired lips. "Won't be lazy, and I can cook something instead of ordering."

SCREMAING. I LITERALLY TYPED PERMAQUEEN WHY DID IT DO THAT.
anyway do you have any permaqueen hcs? idk why it did that autocorrect is werid
-🍭
HKAJHUGJK UR ALL GOOD
but good question! idk if i have any i necessarily headcanon as permaqueens, but if clangen added the role to the game, i could see myself adding some. i'm not sure who, though--maybe Queenie, just for the bit. i could see Evie taking up the role, too (and he certainly had enough kids for it)

Hellooo, hope you're doing well ^_^ I've been wanting to draw the Avalor siblings for sooo long now. I made this very not-finished and incomplete art for em but I hope it's enough to get the picture across ✌️
Some of my notes include 😅: I tried giving Ash a lil baby fat and they have big eyes as per the anime child Rule and yeeeee I had a lot of fun with miss Estella's dress. Lastly, I wanted to give Anya this super straight pose but my HC is that Estella intervened, hence the model-esque look ^0^ (nohandsthistime)
“Staring at that picture again, Chrollo? Are you anticipating some revelation upon your hundredth viewing?”
“That’d be the 150th viewing, I’m afraid. I have a ways to go.”
“What insights are you stuck with until then?”
“May I speak frankly?”
“I’d take offense if you didn’t.”
“Your elder sister… she’s always smiling, but this must be one of the few times she means it.”
“I wouldn’t be surprised. Estella was very pleased with herself for pulling this off; she waited until her birthday was around the corner so we couldn’t object.”
“Who objected more? You or Ash?”
“Need you ask?”
“I suppose not. It is nice to see them with an expression that doesn’t make it clear they want me to drop dead.”
“They’re… fine with you, they just take a while to come around.”
“The last time I answered a call from them while you were in the shower, they said something that I roughly understood as, ‘Seriously, it’s still this guy?’ before hanging up.”
"Ahem... maybe a little while longer...?"
I'MS SCREMAING. CRYING. ROLLING ON THE FLOOR AND CRYING SOE ME MORE. this killed me, brought me back to life, killed me again, then caused my soul to ascend from this plane of existence. you really captured the dynamic of the avalor siblings so well 🥺🥺 estella's regal pose, her needling anya so she isn't just standing there like :|, and ash LOOKING SO PRECIOUS............. BABIE..............
the gown you designed for estella is gorgeous, it's exactly the type of style i imagine her to prefer. the corset and the long, cascading skirt <3333 the linework and shading are so good. AND MISS HWR READER/ANYA !! those are the exact gloves i picture she wears whenever she's in a more formals setting ,, the hair style you chose for her is sso pretty then the JEWELRY AND AAAAAAAAA ???? the baby fat on ash PLS they're too adorable 😭😭
man just. thank you so much for drawing and sharing this <3333333 there really are no words to describe how much i love it. new phone background obtained. AAAAAAAAAAAAA
