I'm returning...

[ With his stoic expression, it's hard to tell how he feels about that. But he's actually... pretty happy. ]

Now. I have waited patiently for you to get your things in order. And you've improved greatly since then. I will admit that much.

[ But now he glares. ]

...that you even considered taking those memories from me...

Comments

[heart_beats]

They wanted to take away your memories?

[Ugh. Those are muns for you.]

[godofclocks]

The ones from my previous time there... yes.

[heart_beats]

But if they changed their mind, that's a good thing.

[luciding]

[NEVERMIND THOSE MEMORIES BECAUSE--]

Julius !!

[ALL THE EXCITEMENT. SHE'S MISSED YOU KYAAAA don't mind the tackle-glomp.]

1/3 here let me comment spam you to show you my love

[godofclocks]

[ ASLDKFJSDJ ALICE ///// ]

2/3

[godofclocks]

[ Those memories are very important thank you very much-- ]

3/3

[godofclocks]

...Alice. I take it you're doing well...

[ Shhh he's really glad to see you again, he doesn't mind it at all - just don't expect him to let go without reluctance at least. ]

oh my e//u//e

[luciding]

[nope not letting go, just going to hang onto him for dear life, her face hidden against him]

I'm so happy to see you! I've missed you so much !

[and now she'll just beam up at him before noticing the color to his cheeks and it's then that she'll finally draw back, looking rather embarrassed herself as she nods.]

I'm good... better now that I've gotten to see you again.

e//u//e yep deal with it

[godofclocks]

[ He's missed that smile. Missed those expressions. Everything. ]

Good.

[ She doesn't seem to be lying. He was worried. ]

...I'm sorry I was gone so long.

[luciding]

[just go ahead and remind her of the amount of time that has passed...]

Oh, that's okay... It's been weird living without you. Though, not much has really changed since you've left.

[godofclocks]

[ He sure will. But don't focus on the fact that he's sorry or anything. ]

Ace is still taking care of you, I presume.

[ That's his way of asking 'is Ace behaving? he hasn't done anything inappropriate right?' Yeah.... ]

[luciding]

[that's one way of putting it-- the heat rushes to her face with that question.]

U-Um, Yeah, he is.

[inappropriate things aside- he really has done a good job looking after her in your place papa Jules.]

He'll be really glad to see you, too.

[godofclocks]

[ ..........he's taking note of that stutter and blush. :| You're making him worry more. ]

...I'm sure he will.

[ Even if he wants to see Ace... misses him even, he's not going to say it. ]

[luciding]

Aheh.

[she rubs at her arm a bit awkwardly. Ace and Julius are friends, even though things have happened in the past... that friendship still stands, right? hopefully things won't be too awkward when Julius learns about her current relationship with Ace...]

The coffee pot hasn't seen much use these days. We'll have to dust out the cobwebs once you've returned.

[godofclocks]

[ Awkward is what Julius does best, but he would never really give that friendship up. Not for anything. If it survived having seen him kill her IT CAN SURVIVE JUST ABOUT ANYTHING. ]

Hopefully that's the only place dust has accumulated.

[ That sure is a joke. Yup. Dry but... yes. ]

[luciding]

[wow rude. don't assume she slacked on cleaning in your absence!]

Actually, I've had loads of time to clean and keep things in order since I haven't had to babysit you. Speaking of, have you been eating three proper meals a day?

[godofclocks]

I thought you would take that time to spread your wings.

[ Not that he's glad you didn't or anything. ]

I haven't kept track.

[ He never does. Sorry. He'll never leave his work for food. ]

[luciding]

Well... I have had more time to go out and do other things that I like... but none of that could compare to spending even just a moment of my time with you...

[oh. that sounds rather....... jhfkjsfh]

Of course not, I should have known you'd slip back into your old unhealthy ways.

Looks like I have my work cut out for me.

[godofclocks]

[ O h. ////// ]

...then we'll have to spend some time together when I return.

[ Find something to do besides well. Working. ]

You don't have to.

[ Just let him do his thing. ]

[luciding]

[she smiles at that.]

Yes, we will.

[a small shake of her head.]

You say that as if it were easy to stop caring about you.

[godofclocks]

...what kind of things do you enjoy doing?

[ Wow because he's just realizing that - he doesn't know what kind of things he would offer to do with her because... well because hermit and... no, there's really no excuse he should have an idea. But he's trying sob. ]

And I never asked you to take care of me.

[ You can care about him, but taking care of him - well, it should be the other way around! Right? Right. ]

[luciding]

[wow is he seriously offering to leave his hermit hole for her?]

We can figure out what to do once you've gotten back. I'm sure we can find something enjoyable for the both of us.

[she doesn't want to push him, after all. and she enjoys watching him work and just being near him. that's really enough for her.]

True, but whenever I'm around you it's like this little voice perks up crying "help meeee~" so I can't refuse.

[godofclocks]

[ Wow, well he just thought.... maybe... He nods. ]

...maybe you should just ignore it.

[luciding]

Oh but it is very difficult to ignore. You see, the voice is very persistent and stubborn.

[godofclocks]

Imagine it's something you dislike hearing very much.

[ . . . ]

Imagine it in Peter White's voice.

[ :| DOES THAT HELP? ]

[luciding]

Why would you say such a thing!?

[UGH GROSS NOW YOU'VE MADE HER THINK ABOUT HIM.]

I can't believe you're bringing him into this conversation!

[godofclocks]

[ IT'S AWFUL BUT IT'S KIND OF FUNNY THE WAY JUST PETER'S NAME BRINGS SUCH A LOOK TO YOUR FACE. ]

It was effective.
