Thirty-seven, so far. Just kick back, relax. Enjoy the lack of consequences. I'm just of a mind to crush some people is all.♥

[firstworldproblem]

... And who exactly are you trying to impress?

[failedsafe]

I'm not trying to impress, I just am not actually mad that I lost the last kissing game! When I was sooooo close. So I have decided to destroy the competition his time.

[A beat.]

Also, I don't know if you knew this about me, but I reaaaally like kissing people.

[firstworldproblem]

Ah, the passions of youth.... is what I'd like to say, but I don't think I was ever that passionate.

[He shakes his head.]

But of course you do. You enjoy flattering people and making them happy. And that can be completed in once nice package known as a kiss.

[failedsafe]

Maybe especially young. I don't flatter, I'm very sincere, I just want people to know how great they aaaaare.

[firstworldproblem]

Oh, you flatter. Do not think otherwise. But that is why it is charming. It is no less deserved.

[Patting her shoulder.]

Do continue to give your youth to Cosmo. I don't think I've seen him this way for .... truthfully, I can't remember. But he has a vitality about him that has been missing.

[failedsafe]

...Oh, I don't think I have anything to do with that, honestly. It's all the Rad Dad Grandpa Gang. I am very happy for him, though, really. For all of you.

[firstworldproblem]

Lily...

[failedsafe]

That's my name.

[she's just really happy for you all though]

[firstworldproblem]

[Tilting his head down to give her cheek another kiss.]

Not all important gestures need be grand. You do well with the small but just as important things.

[failedsafe]

[oh yay, she looks visibly pleased to get another kiss, how marvelous.]

Oh nah, I know that much, I just don't really do much of that either? I'm not getting down on myself, it's just how it is. I know he's been very busy lately, too.

[firstworldproblem]

[To that he taps her nose.]

He has, but somehow you have found the time to watch out for one of our brethren. I'm sure you simply randomly picked them out.

1/2

[failedsafe]

Mebbe.

[No.]

I do like to help.

[Yes, but also she's so full of shit and she knows he'll know it]

2/2

[failedsafe]

Fiiiiine, you caught me somehow. I just...remembered him and I thought I would help.

[firstworldproblem]

The. Small. Things.

Also it is a delight to fluster you.

But truthfully, 'tis the greatest gift. Knowing he has such support that he would not want for it.

[failedsafe]

[WOW. she cannot bel--no that's a lie she absolutely can but WOW]

Yes, well you're very cute too.

[but she looks to him]

How are you, though? Taking it, too, I mean

[firstworldproblem]

It's shocking to say the least, but considering I could have gotten a Scion instead, I'll count my blessings.

I simply do no want to put any more expectations on him then he already has. The weight of no memories and this place can be overwhelming.

[failedsafe]

[She's quietly thoughtful for a few moments.]

Hm. Well, as long as you're not worried about something like rejection the rest I do very much understand.

[firstworldproblem]

It has been eons since I have seen my old friend. Not a kind set of eon either. I am different from what I was back then. He is under no obligations to like the new me.

Not even discounting the fact that he might not even be from my timeline.

[failedsafe]

[that does but also doesn't answer the question, but she won't press that point.]

...Do you plan to maintain your distance, then?

[firstworldproblem]

Of course not. I befriended him once. There is no reason to believe I can't do it a second time.

[failedsafe]

I'm very glad to hear it. [leans up a little to kiss his cheek. she is pushing 6'5" with her heels rn so it's not far she has to go]

I would not presume to know the whole of your heart on the matter, but to go without his company for a great length of time probably isn't a great prospect and speaking as an amnesiac, it can be pretty isolating and lonely in a number of ways too. Care and consideration are fine and understandable but I wouldn't want to see a wall between you two for long.

[firstworldproblem]

[Not with his bad back!]

I won't look like this in his memories anyway. I imagine it will make that less jarring.

But I will not abandon him. He had the audacity to appear here after all! I haven't even had time to prepare what to say to him if we should meet again.

[failedsafe]

[that piques her curiosity]

What will you look like? That is very good to hear, though. I'm sure you'll think of something.

[firstworldproblem]

You'll just have to be surprised. I wonder if you'll be able to tell.
