I imagine that it is a very long list of reasons that owes to your exhaustion.

[She pauses.]

That I love him.

[firstworldproblem]

Did you now?

[He kisses the top of her head.]

It is hard at times, isn't it? When you are not used to it. When the words seem to be weightless yet so heavy at the same time.

I am glad you are taking the opportunity to say it now before it is too late.

[failedsafe]

It was...really hard to do, but really worth it.

[She looks tremendously happy and serene at the same time. It's an odd juxtaposition, not unlike how it's possible for the words to be weightless and heavy at the same time.

But Emet's words have a sombre air around them and she's brought back down to earth.]

Mm. I can't say that it's something everyone wants to hear but it's something I want to be able to say to some more people.

[She looks at him.]

So, I love you.

[firstworldproblem]

Are you sure? I still have ample time to prove I'm shady.

[He jests as he takes her hands and then kisses the top of her head.]

I love you as well, Lily. And wish you nothing by confidence and contentment as you puzzle through the choices before you.

[failedsafe]

I never said you weren't shady. This is BARiTONES, shade is what we do here. I love you anyway.

[oh but hearing that...well. time for tears]

[firstworldproblem]

[He gives her a hug then not muddying it with any words.]

[failedsafe]

[she hugs him back tightly burying her head in his chest she's just. so glad that he's here. he always is.]

[firstworldproblem]

[He kisses the top of her head and after a long pause.]

If you do get married to Levity, you are going to put him in a dress, correct?

[failedsafe]

[She blushes at the thought of marrying levity]

Oh, certainly. He'd look so darling in a dress~! Not sure what else we could do though....

[firstworldproblem]

You are sure about this, are you not? It's not as easy at it seems and this place only complicates it.

[failedsafe]

Sure about what?

[firstworldproblem]

Levity.

[failedsafe]

Marrying him?

[firstworldproblem]

Is that what we were not just talking about besides the dresses?

[failedsafe]

Yeah, but...it's a pipe dream.

[She looks down.]

...I want him to have a full and happy life. He can't have that if he marries me.

[firstworldproblem]

And there is where I would like to delve into the specifics.

He might seem rather lacking in abilities here, but his skills nearly match my own. He is a powerful mage in his own right and brilliant besides.

What is it exactly that you are facing?

[failedsafe]

Monsters born of fear and a world where it storms constantly. All the landmasses have long been ago been flooded. No one has seen the sun or the stars in a very long time.

[firstworldproblem]

Do you star have a theory to get the sun and the stars back?

[failedsafe]

I don't remember the particulars, yet, if they were ever made known to me at all. I know my brother has to do with it all. It's why he was created and he is the best result they've managed so far.

[firstworldproblem]

How long is your lifespan, Lily? If interrupted by life's unpredictable nature.

[failedsafe]

...Hard to say without more data, but I'm guessing ten years total, give or take? And I'm already at least two years into that.

[firstworldproblem]

And it is the vessel that breaks down or something else?

[failedsafe]

Some sort of breakdown, I think. I think I'll just age and deteriorate before that happens, though. Assuming I'm not terminated.

[firstworldproblem]

I see.

I think these are conversations you should have with him. To figure out what you want and what he wants. To talk it through together.

[failedsafe]

Yeah...yeah, you're right of course, I just.

[she runs a hand through her hair.]

I don't want him to be unhappy, he already deals with so much without my adding to it. So much.
