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.

[failedsafe]

Awwww. [she pouts, but from the tone and the way her eyes shine it's a good-natured one and she's also looking forward to it.]

I wonder now, too. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out. Stars, he's so soft, though.

[this is not a complaint in the slightest.]

I know he's got a foot on me, but I kind of want to put him in my pocket.

[firstworldproblem]

Get him an AlcheME potion and he would no doubt be delighted. New and exciting. Thoughtful and provoking. You have already figured out these are the things that will delight him.

[failedsafe]

He does seem the type to get up to all sorts of shenanigans...

[firstworldproblem]

Without a doubt.

I'm glad you are enjoying his company. I always did. It warms my heart to hear it.

[failedsafe]

It's nice to meet someone who can more or less keep up with my own energy. So far. But I'm happy to have met him properly like this.

[she smiles brightly.]

How are you doing, though? I know you've been busy, too.

[firstworldproblem]

Spoil each other. You both deserve it.

I've been resting and reflecting mostly. I was sad to hear I missed Paloma's game, but I did get to speak with her albeit briefly.

Other than that, I've been enjoying time with my loved ones. Something I ought to do more often. And my thanks again for the lenses. I have been using them.

[failedsafe]

I am very good at spoiling, so this works out. [we won't talk about being spoiled]

She wrote me, too, and tasked me with kissing all the ladies, a duty I do not bear lightly.

[she's serious she's so serious emet]

Well, for the most part, time is not in short supply here so I do hope you'll get to spend as much time with them as you wish.

[but ahhhh when he thanks her she blushes]

N-not a problem, I'm glad they were useful to you. It turns out IIII actually know what that's like, after a fashion.
