[You are greeted with the sound of randomly disrupted static, at the end of which three melodic beeping signals are heard. Yep, that's your cue to leave a message!]

[oh this is nice actually... big burger hug...

NOT THAT HE NEEDS IT THIS IS ENTIRELY FOR LEVITY'S SAKE]

[weenwoon]

[shhh only hugs now. also gently half-patting, half-petting Eli's back, Very Soothing

but u will have to tell him when hug time is over, otherwise he'll stay there for a while because he likes hugs and also because he's sad about you]

[rainshaveceased]

[please watch out for the wings

anyway as nice as the hug is he does start getting a little fidgety once he realises that it's not ending]

...Hythlodaeus?

[weenwoon]

[ :( but hug good

But he draws back! Smiling a little apologetically]

... Forgive me. In my own memories, you had just taken the post of the Emissary... I cannot help worrying for you.

[you were baby!!]

[rainshaveceased]

...That was a long time ago.

[weenwoon]

Indeed.

[12k+ years ago! He looks a little sad briefly, but that's not going to stop him from shitposting to keep the mood up.]

You young ones grow up so fast~

[rainshaveceased]

[l-laughs a little, sort of.]

I had to, if I was to have any hope of keeping up with the old men I was saddled with.

[weenwoon]

[OH NO... CUTE........ Levity lights up too at seeing him laugh. Success!]

I can only imagine what it must have been like, especially when it comes to Emet-Selch! Although he does seem to have evolved some manner of a sense of humour and mischief, at the very least.

[Like let's try to be upbeat about things and not talk about how horrific ur prolonged existences have been. Yet.]

[rainshaveceased]

Unfortunately that just means he considers me a terrible bore. As did most of our makeshift Convocation, come to think of it.

[let's not even begin on fandaniel]

[weenwoon]

[Let's Not!]

I can scold him for you! But... for all they might have acted like that, both Emet-Selch and Lahabrea really care for you.

[Pats his head gently again!]

But they are rather terrible at expressing their feelings, as I've come to find.

[rainshaveceased]

I fear I am not much better. As you may have noticed.

[weenwoon]

... I wonder. I would say you are doing rather well so far.

[CONSIDERING EVERYTHING]

[rainshaveceased]

Thank you, I suppose.

[weenwoon]

[ok he's not going to be mean and talk about the problems he had with Emet]

I don't want any of you to be frightened of me, truly.

[rainshaveceased]

I doubt any of us are. Rather, we might be frightened of causing you pain.

[weenwoon]

[Unfortunately, games.]

Mm. Or fear that I would reject or despise you, perhaps?

[rainshaveceased]

[nods]

The things we have had to do, the things we have chosen to do... have changed us. We are not as innocent or kind as we once were.

[weenwoon]

[Judging by his expression, Levity is not exactly happy about that! But it seems more like he's upset that it had to happen, not that he's angry at the Ascians. He nods slowly, giving Dignity a sorrowful look.]

... I have had to gather as much. But it does not mean you should stay so forever, does it? Kindness can be an effort, not simply an innate quality.

[rainshaveceased]

Is it that easy? After everything, do you think we can simply go back?

[weenwoon]

[He shakes his head.]

I do not believe that it is easy. But I do not want to think that you cannot go back at all. But perhaps a better question is whether you want to.

[rainshaveceased]

...

[haha wow he has no idea how to even begin answering that]

[weenwoon]

[wwwwwwWWWWHY ARE YOU ALL FUCKING LIKE THIS!!! tries not to scream internally]

Forgive me. I know these are not easy questions, and to spring them upon you so soon after your arrival... I do not wish to add to your burdens. You needn't answer if you are not ready.

[rainshaveceased]

...I do not even remember what going back would mean, to be honest. It's not as though I have any inkling of who I used to be.

[weenwoon]

[HAHA!!!]

... Lahabrea and Emet-Selch did tell me you'd... lost your self. Over the years.

[rainshaveceased]

...I would ask you not to worry about it.
