[ They're there in basically as much time as it takes to ride the elevator down from BD=DE, and move to hug her the moment they step onto the landing. ]
[ she'll go to get a pot of tea started, then, and bring it to her room soon enough.
when silfda gets there: her room is mostly bog-standard lilis fare, some fanmail stacked neatly on the dresser. one corner of the room is lined with tarp, where her easel and collection of paints currently sits, empty, a handful of canvasses neatly leaned against the available space on the floor and wall: all portraits of former members of lilis she knew, with their namesake flower. ]
Sorry I don't have a couch or anything... you can sit on the bed.
Mm, I wouldn't say it's in the exact same way - all such loves are unique, after all. But as for those who I love to the same degree as you - there are Hope and Lily.
Mm. It would be disappointing, to be sure. After all, it'd be a shame if I can't give you all the love I believe you deserve. But more than that, I would rather you decide to do what makes you happy. To see you unhappy would upset me more than any amount of mere disappointment ever could.
[ cute. they pat her head and lean forward to nuzzle their forehead against hers. ]
And I told him that should you wish it, I would agree to his terms. If it must be one of us, you and he are much better suited to each other than you and I. And as always, love and happiness is more important than anything else in this world.

Re: Day 325
[ She'll actually be waiting out in the landing for them; had to get some stuff from the mailbox, and all. ]
Re: Day 325
Cypress! Hi!
Re: Day 325
[ surprised-- but hugs her back, gentle. ]
Hi, Silfda. You seem a little perkier...
Re: Day 325
Re: Day 325
I'm glad.
[ hesitates a moment before pulling away, opening the door for them. ]
My room's towards the end; door should be open. Do you want any coffee or tea?
Re: Day 325
[ and off they go. ]

Re: Day 325
Re: Day 325
So what did you want to talk about?
Re: Day 325
... I, ah...
...
You have-- others, that you care about, right? The way you... said you cared about me.
Re: Day 325
Re: Day 325
Re: Day 325
Re: Day 325
I'm so glad. ... I'm so happy for you.
Re: Day 325
That's not what you wanted to talk about though, is it?
Re: Day 325
Of course I want to hear about your happiness.
[ a pause though. ]
... I'm, um.
...
I don't... want to seem as if I've taken advantage of your feelings, at any point. Regardless of what we do I care deeply about you.
You... understand that, right?
Re: Day 325
Of course I do. Love needn't take only one form. I know that better than most.
Re: Day 325
...
Would you-- be upset? If we couldn't... kiss, or anything like that, together anymore.
Re: Day 325
Re: Day 325
[ awkwardly trails off, cheeks bright red, and looks down at their hands. ]
... Sunrise would prefer it if-- we didn't treat others romantically, if we're together. At least, um-- not sexually.

Re: Day 325
I'm just glad there are people who can-- who can give you something I might not be able to.
Of course I wouldn't force you to change anything, either. I still want to be with you, this way-- you're. Still dear to me.
Re: Day 325
I'm glad for that. Even just this much is already far more than I deserve.
Re: Day 325
[ a long pause. ]
I'm sorry.
