Something similar happened with mine, except they were planning on dropping us into a game together. [ a pause and he purses his lips. ] You deserve better.
I was starting to think I'd never see you again. At least not in a place like this, I mean.
It might take some work and some time, but they will.
[ he reaches for her hand then. he knew he missed her, he just hadn't realized how much. ] Hopefully if you do, they'll be our friends and not, well... You know.
( she feels that familiar pause in her heart beat that's caused from his touch and she squeezes his hand. ) I'm rather content with it just being us right now.
( helps that zed isn't around cockblocking everything and frowning because they're holding hands. )
It's been a while since we've gotten some time alone. [ his tone is much softer now and really, he has to resist wrapping his free arm around her and holding her close.
he brushes the pad of his thumb over the top of her hand. ] You've been alright, haven't you?
[ he doesn't even bother trying to hide the smile he saves solely for her as he reaches out carefully to brush some of her hair back. it's a lesson in self restraint as usual. ] I have, yes, but I'm even better now.
( it still amazes her just how happy he can make her with the simplest things. she knows how hard it is, but the thought of losing him isn't worth all the pleasure in the world. ) Was it really that bad without me?
[ the corners of his lips twitch and he leans into her touch, but just slightly. ] No, unfortunately. My mun tends to be on the indecisive side. Does yours?
It seems like there are a lot more choices now. I guess that comes with the territory, though. If mine ever does send me somewhere, it'd be nice to have company.
There are a few interesting games out there according to the mun. But, you're right. Going alone wouldn't be as nice as it would knowing that you're going in with someone familiar.
I think my mun has looked at that game. Hopefully whoever yours sends there doesn't have too bad of a time. It seems like it'll keep them busy, at least.
It's the same with my mun. Sometimes that seems like more of a blessing than a curse. Though, I admit, it would be nice to be able to stretch my legs every now and then.

Never know in a place like this, I hear you can run into just about anyone.
no subject
That's true. I've heard some strange things about these places. Have you run into anyone else?

( she shakes her head. ) You're the first, but I've heard stories from the others.

It feels like something is missing here [ he guides her hand towards his chest and over his heart. ] when you're gone.

Most of us in the mun's headspace end up staying here.
