Re: day 366

[softlyfalling]

So race me back, because among other things, I am definitely going to find your other master and kick her ass.

Re: day 366

[beautifulend]

[ indignantly: ]

You will not! Her ass is mine to kick!

In fact - I won't even give you time to make it back to Creation! I will devour Creation, end her, and then find you and Nero and drag that plane to oblivion as well!

Re: day 366

[softlyfalling]

[ heh ]

So it is a race, then. I'll see you there.

Maybe I do have a little competitive streak in me as far as what I'll do for love.

Re: day 366

[beautifulend]

You may as well just give up now! I love the world more than anything else ever could, Luna aside!

Re: day 366

[softlyfalling]

I'll have to work really hard, then!

Re: day 366

[ growl. growllll. GROWLLLLLL -

hug. ]

Re: day 366

[softlyfalling]

[ yeah.

return hug, enfolding them in her arms. ]

In the meantime I'll miss you, though.

Re: day 366

[beautifulend]

[ they bury their face in her chest, squeezing tightly. ]

Master. Master. Shrike.

[ and then after that's just a bunch of sad, incoherent whining. ]

Re: day 366

[softlyfalling]

I know. I know. I wish I had more time.

"Love endures," though. And I love you.

Re: day 366

[beautifulend]

I love you. I - I love -

[ all they can really manage after that is crying, though. it's really a shame people taught them it's okay to be human and have human emotions because man those sure suck and they hate them how do they go back to keeping the girl dead and buried. ]

Re: day 366

[softlyfalling]

[ listen we can all cry because now she's tearing up, too

but she just keeps petting their hair. maybe sticks her face against the top of their head. sniffles a bit. ]

Re: day 366

[beautifulend]

[ eventually they cry themself out and just start sniffling and whining. once they're able to talk again, they take a deep breath, and: ]

I'll be happy. I -

- because of you, and Nero, and Hope, and everyone else here - I've learned to live for...for the things I want, so...

...I'll be happy when we meet again. That's my promise. I won't have a master and I won't need one, either.

[softlyfalling]

[ she wipes her eyes with her shoulder, for a moment— ]

I'm really glad. You deserve it, after all this.

Re: day 366

[beautifulend]

...Thank you.

Re: day 366

[softlyfalling]

I feel like I have a lot of things to thank you for, too.

Re: day 366

[beautifulend]

- Really?

Re: day 366

[softlyfalling]

Mm...

...a lot of people got me to think about what a world where I could be happy would look like, but—that's not the only important thing. I want to see a world that's good and just and kind, and you gave me a lot of things to consider.

Re: day 366

[beautifulend]

It - well, it's not as if that wisdom came from me, particularly - it's Our Lady's will, nothing more and nothing less...

Re: day 366

[softlyfalling]

But—it was you who was able to impart it to me, through your conviction and your experience, so—

...thank you.

Re: day 366

[beautifulend]

Um.

[ ?

??

?????????????????????????? ]

You're - welcome.

Re: day 366

[softlyfalling]

[ pat pat pat pat pat ]

I'd feel wrong if I didn't express my appreciation.

Re: day 366

[beautifulend]

[ they

blush??? ]

I...appreciate your appreciation. Thank you.

Re: day 366

[softlyfalling]

Of course.
