[He does but replies in a muffled voice.]

Honestly.

[He lets him lift his head if he really wants, petting his hair either way.]

Since you complain when I retaliate in words, I needs must find other means.

[He does and he looks disgruntled in that way he manages while looking tired.]

I will complain regardless but that doesn’t mean I do not appreciate the words.

[He smiles a little, messing up his hair with a gentle ruffle.]

Shall I go on about how dear you are to me then?

That was not an invitation.

Aren’t you supposed to be writing me a heartfelt letter anyway?

Do you think I could ever run out of words to express my gratitude for you presence in my life?

Your arm and voice will get tired at some point.

Trivial matters.

[He looks at him for a moment, another suffering sigh apparent on his face.

And then he leads forward and wraps his arms around his neck, leaning forward so they are cheek to cheek. And speaks in ancient.]

I love you.

[How can he not react with a laugh and a blush, wrapping his arms around Emet to pull him close.]

Even at your grumpiest that has never once been in doubt.

[He holds him tightly fingers digging into his back until he finally lets go and pulls back.]

As if I could lie to you. And you to me. We see each other’s strengths and faults even if we cannot always change their course.

[He lets him sit up, humming in thought.]

I love you as well my dearest friend. But lately it seems more that your strengths grow. It makes me glad to see.

I have a foundation in which they can.

[He makes a motion at the table.]

Could you imagine me scrapbooking before? Writing poems? For duty only perhaps.

And I do enjoy that you let me tie up your hair. It is a pastime I would have never considered before.

It is a pleasure and a treat for me as well, you know.

[He leans his head on his hand.]

These pastimes suit you. Doting on people for the love of it.

This past time suits everyone. Though I would gladly partake in it.

But let me not distract you from your writing.

Nor I from your scrapbooking. I will provide you something suitable for Five anon.

Good. It must feel so fleeting at times for him. Those that he can depend on. That would love him without question. Not that I believe his family would not, but that his mind has difficulty grasping it moving from calamity to calamity as he has.

Isolation is poison to the soul and mind, it is a wonder he is as well as he is.

Though I do attribute some of that to your care. Most is his own resilience.

His family would have gotten him there in time I believe, but I am glad I could help. At least part of the way.

Speaking of, how are you feeling in that department? I know you need less connections than I to survive, but I would like to hear your thoughts.

I have not lacked for lives to meddle in if that's what you're asking.

[He knows it isn't but he does have to tease a little.]

Then might I bring up another wrinkle in our plan. One that has not blossomed in fruition but should be watched as much as Logrif and the Scions.

Another one?

A shard of another member of the Convocation though in secret did I create their crystal.

[There literally is only one that could be.]

Separate from the Scions? Not their champion?

Their shard upon the First. Though he remembers events differently than I.

Just how many timelines are there?
