[From here]

[Taking some garland and wrapping it around his hat.]

You'd rather have those than kisses?

Oh, I didn't specify what manner in which one would partake, did I?

Better. All that sugar will make your teeth rot out anyway.

And I rot enough as it is!

[He laughs. Of course he does. He also hooks a few Christmas ornaments onto his hat before resting his arms around his shoulders.]

I was told there would be kissing, you know.

[ he smiles; and leans in as he speaks. ]

And who I am I to deny you?

[ he doesn't waste any more time, tilting his head to kiss him firmly, warm. ]

You'd best not!

[He kisses back with equal intensity.]

Rightfully earned, but come. When was the last time we had a chat?

It has been too long for my preference, certainly.

[ he doesn't kiss him again but does press his mouth against his jaw, keeping up the contact. ]

Situations upon our shattered star became complicated. Was complicated. I had a new memory even appear in my phone. One I apparently had forgotten.

[Turning to kiss him lightly before tugging his hand.]

But I've had enough of this crowd.

Hmmm?

[ there's an inquisitiveness to his tone but he moves along with that. ]

You will have to tell me more.

If you don't mind the mood being ruined. This is a light hearted game.

Oh, it is rather difficult to ruin my mood.

Outwardly. I'm sure you get annoyed enough.

But I wish to enjoy your company.

[And he's taking him to the amusement park.]

I do hope we can find something here to hold your interest.

[ he laughs; and strays closer as they walk. ]

Is this a date?

Would you like it to be?

I don't see why not! You've always been the romantic sort.

If one of us was not, we would not have gotten anywhere. Though you've always been soothing. Even from the start.

Now, thrilling or relaxing? I do believe those are the only flavors these rides come in.

[ hmm! ]

Relaxing, if it would afford us the opportunity to chat.

[He nods and there must be some sort of swan type ride, right? Right. Well, there is one now. And after Absinthe gets in, Emet will find a spot on his lap as is his wont.]

You wanted to know about my memory, was it? Or was there aught else on your mind?

[ Absinthe will wrap his arms around him, chin on his shoulder. ]

I was curious about your memory. It does seem odd, to remember more when you've meant to have remembered everything -- hmm?

[He reaches up a hand to pet his hair.]

I thought so as well, but 'twas a memory after death believe it or not. Would you like to see it?

[ he pauses before nodding ]

Now I am all the more curious.

Terrible date material, but since when we were conventional.

[He takes out his phone and plays this.]

Our mission ends in failure. The last of the Unsundered fallen. To which I helped send Elidibus to his demise for I would not let him suffer alone.

[ -- ]

Ah.

[ it takes him a few moments to process even after he's finished watching the memory. unconsciously, his arms tighten more around Emet-Selch. ]

Has this changed your mind? Regarding what you hope to accomplish.

It does not, but I am certainly now at a disadvantage. I must put all my chances on this place.

And it is ... sobering ... to consider my race truly gone.
