[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.

[firstworldproblem]

He probably would be more upset if you hid it from him.




If experience tells us anything.

[failedsafe]

[


that's a lesson she doesn't need to learn.]

Probably. [she sighs]

The truth is just so lame, sometimes. You don't have to tell me details, obviously, but are you two doing better, Emecchi?

[firstworldproblem]

Lame I don't believe is the right word.

I'd like to think we are. It is easier to speak to him, and I think we are finally both able to leave expectations behind. But I worry I simply cannot help him in the way he needs.

[failedsafe]

What do you think he needs?

[firstworldproblem]

Someone that can pull him out of that dark place his mind wanders to.

[failedsafe]

Why don't you think you can?
