[You little brat]

I do not have to show it.

Re: 349idk

[:p]

Perhaps not directly, but I bet the smoothies section of your fridge will be as stocked as ever.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

It would be quite the disappointment to Ruby if it were not.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

Ruby being?

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

The one who started the tradition. You might ask Absinthe about her, they were quite close.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

Oh? That would be interesting indeed. I know all too little about the people who were here before.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

If you are interested of course. They have long since graduated. But it would have been a shame to let that tradition die. Ever was she invested in the unit's well-being, with admirable passion.

[Oh that reminds him]

I think Alexander once told me that I should ask some of the older Baritones members for a history lesson--to learn what things used to be like for your unit. That was after I scolded him for keeping quiet about just about everything with me.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

Frankly I would consider myself a newer member. Eichi or Absinthe would be who to inquire with.

I'm somewhat aware of what the problems were, but faced few myself. Especially if he meant in regards to the internal state of the unit.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

Internal state, yes. He did tell me to ask Eichi, Yvette or Kohime... But I know Kohime only in passing, Yvette I've never spoken to and Eichi I've only befriended recently. Though he did tell me he's come quite a long way in terms of being open!

[Sometimes you talk to people once and now you're friends.]

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

I doubt Kohime a good resource anyway, given her complex relationship with the unit. Yvette or Eichi certainly would know best.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

Perhaps I'll ask Eichi one day, then.

Did you and Alexander arrive together?

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

Not at all. He had been here for a long time before my own arrival. My arrival would be not that long before Lily's.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

Oh? How curious... With how close you are, I would have expected you to have ended up here together, possibly still holding hands.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

My, do we seem so close? That is nice to hear.

But before we arrived we both spent far more time apart than in one another's company. We were both quite busy.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

[Time for mathlady.gif as he tries to figure out if this is a good conversation path to go down.]

...It must be quite a grand undertaking.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

Mm. Well, yes. And worthwhile. But we have both learned the cost of such isolation from one another.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

Then I hope you'll never have to be alone again.

[Reaching out to take the Bread hand.]

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

[Well hm. He lets that happen but pays Levity's hand with his other.]

That is the plan.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

...Jason said I could go for a wish. If I wanted to see our home again.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

[????]

Were you not planning on returning with us?

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

I do. But Alexander spoke of it as though it's only a chance, not a guarantee... And I also found myself wondering if it's possible for me at all.

[Like, you know, because he's dead and stuff.]

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

Emet-Selch is, at times, a pessimist.

[He pats Levity's hand again.]

Or perhaps he thought you might wish to return with someone else.

In any case I see no reason for you not to come with us unless it is your desire to go elsewhere.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

[Thank u for dad energy...]

No, I... I do want to go home.

[He looks a little thoughtful, though.]

...A lot of my lovers are human, however... I do find myself a little worried how things might go. Then again, there is no guarantee that these relationships will persist until the day we return.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

Mm. That is.. indeed a concern. But it is better to focus on the happiness you have with them now. The future will come whether you worry or not.

If by the time you leave there are those you cannot part from, you can address it then. To take them home with us or seek a way to their world.
