Hey!! It's about damn time you remembered how irresistibly handsome I am, woman!

Comments

[ombrasolare]

Please extend her my condolences. I wish her a speedy recovery.

[placeholdher]

What, from withdrawal?

[ombrasolare]

From her traumatic brain injury.

[placeholdher]

Hey, if this is gonna end up as a joke where you deny my good looks, I might have to kill punch kill you.

[ombrasolare]

You're certainly welcome to try.

[skyflower]

[A soft smile and an even softer giggle.] I'm not sure anyone could resist your charms for long, Colonello.

[placeholdher]

[ BEAMS hi princess hi!!! Have a Colonello clambering shamelessly into your lap for a faceplanthug. It's good to see you, kid. ]

It's one of the lessor-known Rain attributes - dashing good looks.

[skyflower]

Oh, is that what it is? [Give her a moment to look mock surprised, a hand going to her cheek before she rests it on his head fondly.]

And here I thought it was just natural charm and a persistent streak.

[placeholdher]

That helps, too. [ Colonello grins up at her, patting her larger hand fondly. ] How've you been, Uni?

[skyflower]

[That earns him another light laugh and a content sigh, petite hands going to settle around the man's small body in a loose embrace. He was welcome to make himself comfortable, she didn't mind in the slightest.]

Things are never dull even when they are relatively quiet, but I'm sure you know that as well as I do!

It is very good to see you. I hope you've been well through your ah, vacation? [Tips her head curiously.]

[skylighting]

[Oh...well, this wasn't what she was expecting, really.]

Uni...

[skyflower]

[The girl lifts her head at the sound of a soft voice, eyes large and curious and they widen as she sees the woman who was the source. They had never met before, not once, but Uni knew well who stood there before her.]

...Luce-baa-san...?

[Her reply is quiet and full of wonder and surprise.]

[skylighting]

[Automatically, as if her hand were not wholly under her own control, Luce reaches a hand out to brush back the strands of hair visible under Uni's very familiar hat.]

You recognize me. [She says, half wondering, half amused.] I almost wasn't sure I would...

So sorry so late! ;A;

[skyflower]

Mm, I do. I'm sure my mother would as well.

[Her own hand lifted to brush the matching pacifier hung around her neck.]

I'm not sure how, but it seems... we've been able to meet. [There is a spark of excitement mixed with a smidge of uncertainty in her eyes, gazing up at the woman.]

I have always wished to. Meet you, I mean. [Shy smile.]

[skylighting]

[WELL NOW...this is an unusual sight. For all that she was aware of the curse, and the future, and things that would happen...

It's still a little different to see them in person, herself unaffected.

And...well, Colonello hadn't exactly been planned, had he?

A slightly wistful expression:] Ah, I had hoped...

[She cuts off that line of thought, and just smiles more genuinely instead.]

It's good to see you doing well, Colonello.

[placeholdher]

[ Luce, don't make him feel like the family accident-- OH WAIT. That's okay, Team Mom, he loves you anyway. Even if you are kind of giving him a heart attack by showing up here. ]

--Hey, Luce. It's good to see you, too.

[ Are you gonna hug me or what. ]

[skylighting]

[She bends down enough to pick Colonello up, expertly striking a balance between her own maternal habits and the fact that Colonello was quite self-sufficient enough not to need her support.]

It's nice to know things haven't changed too much in my absence.

[placeholdher]

He~h! The world never stops spinning, but it's always turning the same way!

[ Have a fond pat on the shoulder; he really has missed you. ]

How'd you end up here, then?

[skylighting]

Hm... [She has a slightly mischievous glint in her eye, the one that is so often hidden by that serene expression she usually wears; but he would definitely recognize it.]

Would that be quantum effects or alternate universe collision? I'm sure Dr. Verde would be able to explain far better than I would.

[halfcursed]

Hmph. Don't flatter yourself, soldier.

[placeholdher]

[ HEH! Seems like someone else couldn't resist either, hey, Lal?! Enjoy this smug-ass grin. ]

You gonna do it for me, then? [ Come on, you know you love him. Deep down...real deep. ] It's good to see you, Lal.

[halfcursed]

[ As if. She's not going to comment on that in front of him. He's just so casual. ]

Right. I-It's not like I have any intentions to.

2/2

[halfcursed]

Welcome back, Colonnello.

[placeholdher]

[ SHE'S SO CUTE HE CAN BARELY CONTAIN HIMSELF, GOSH but he'll refrain from seizing her in a bearhug and never letting go ever ever ever. She gets mad when he does that.

Instead, have a shoulder squeeze and a very special smile. ] It's good to be back. Have you been well?

Apologies for being slow ;;; first time playing her!

[halfcursed]

[No, stop that, Colonnello. Stoooooooop. She's already a bit embarassed when you did that and now blushes a little. It's not like he wanted that concern from him or anything anything!]

Of course I've been good! Why would you think otherwise? I hope you haven't gotten into any trouble yourself.
