On possibly apping to Thusia

[lifewithoutrest]

Why do you insist on torturing yourself?

Yes, I am aware I'll be required to die, but perhaps you should consider exactly how long I've been alive. I have led a fulfilling life, had rewarding work. And despite what you may believe, this isn't an end, so much as a new beginning. You understand as well as most what I've lived through, so you must also understand the appeal in escaping it all, even if only briefly. I'm content in my life, but I've made my peace with death.

You've no need to worry.

Sounds complicated.

[lifewithoutrest]

Yes, it is.

[fosteringdyslexia]

Just...be careful okay?

[lifewithoutrest]

[That gets a small smile.] I will.

[fosteringdyslexia]

[Seems a little satisfied with that. Is this what having a friend feels like?]

[lifewithoutrest]

[Perhaps. Though she tends to see herself as more of a protector.] I trust you'll look after yourself while I'm gone?

[fosteringdyslexia]

I looked after myself before you came along. I'm sure I can do it when you're gone.

[lifewithoutrest]

Yes, I suppose you did.

[fosteringdyslexia]

It's not like I had much of a choice.

[lifewithoutrest]

No. But you should make it your choice. Don't let their opinions change how you see yourself.

[fosteringdyslexia]

Opinions don't feed me.

[lifewithoutrest]

I'm glad.

[fosteringdyslexia]

So...do you know when you're leaving?

[lifewithoutrest]

Not yet.

[fosteringdyslexia]

But you'll let me know, won't you?

[lifewithoutrest]

Of course.

[fosteringdyslexia]

Thank you.
