Five really is very kind. I wish he could recognize it more.
Truly, I do not know much, if anything at all. Only my name, that I was someone special, and out of everyone here I was closest with you. Cosmo is another friend, but not as close - at least, as I understood it.
He does. He is simply shy. Well, and a bit frustrated no one takes his threats seriously anymore. As if we ever did.
[He taps his chin.]
At least they have not delved too much into your past. I would rather you would have learned on your own or been able to set the stage myself. But we'll have to make do with what's given.
Would you like to know more about yourself and our people?
He did threaten to cut off my fingers if I touched him!
[Levity perks up at the offer, though.]
I would, yes! And I do think it would be wise to set the stage, as you have said. I could see how memories taken out of context could turn out shocking. I am only too lucky that you are all here already...
[Levity laughs, feeling curiously warm inside. Of course, he hasn't forgotten that he doesn't know Alexander yet, but at the same time he can't deny he hasn't been experiencing some very peculiar, very distant homesickness and loneliness. Being welcomed, having a place and people to belong with... It feels nice.]
I shall greet you properly soon, just you wait.
[And because he doesn't much care for holding himself back, he gathers Alexander into a hug.]

[Oh.]
Lily called me an Ancient.

[Is he jesting? Who knows? He makes a 'humming' sound at the lucky comment.]
Then if you have no activities planning for when you are dreaming, I will meet you then.

[He nods gratefully at the suggestion...]
Ah, I would love that--
[...before his eyes widen as though he's remembered something.]
By the heavens, Hope! My apologies, Alexander, I must take my first memory without any true prior knowledge.
no subject
No. The most egregious ask he has ever made of my hand was to put jewelry on it.
[He simply shrugs.]
Then do as you desire. I am not here to dictate how you regain your memories. Though I wish you luck all the same.
no subject
I would ask you to tell me of our world afterwards, though, before I take any more memories. 'Tis simply for an experiment we are conducting.

Should I leave you to finish this game, or do you need another kiss beforehand?

He cups his face with both hands lingering for a moment. And then he tilts his head down and kisses his forehead.]
Welcome back, my friend. I have missed you dearly.

Who knows what you will receive first. As I said, I'd rather you were not burdened with expectations. I am patient after all.
no subject
I do not think of it as a burden at all! If aught, I am positively looking forward to it. 'Tis like a homecoming, is it not?

And I will not keep you any longer. Do enjoy the rest of the game.
