A muse revives
It's been a long time... But you haven't forgotten, have you? Nor have I. How could I? After everything, it would be wrong to push it all aside.
If I am going back out there, I will try to stand strong this time. I owe that to myself.

...It's really none of my business, and I get where you're coming from if you feel I'm speaking out of turn because I'm a complete stranger and all, but you sound really strong already! Good luck!

UH HUURRR.]

[He scratches the back of his head bashfully.]
...How've you been, Dagger? You get back home okay?

[So...he's ahead of her?
He just smiles, placing his hands at his hips.]
Never mind. This place can really confuse a guy!

Oh, are you impressed? I'm a stud right?
[He reaches out, attempting to wrap an arm over her shoulders. Yeah, he was worried about her, and missed her.]

[she leans into him anyway, accepting his embrace]
no subject
[He draws her in and holds her for a moment. She doesn't know about what happens later. That he stays behind after fighting Kuja and Necron. That they're separated, and he doesn't know if he'll ever see her again.
This is enough, though.]

[He doesn't let go just yet.]

I'm all right. The mun's headspace is quiet and peaceful. It's given me a lot of time to think about Alexandria and what I need to do so I can be worthy of ruling her.

I'm glad. You'll do great, I know you will!
[She's strong. He admires her more than anyone.]

He hopes with all his heart that the place she's going to isn't...dangerous.]
What, you miss me or something? Heh! You've been on your own without me before!
[He winks, despite his worries.]
You are strong. And independent, and beautiful, Dagger. Wherever it is, I'm sure you can handle it.
...If there's anything you need, though, I'm here for you. And I'm not leaving.
no subject
I didn't tell you because I needed a pep-talk. I just know you would worry about me, and I wanted to let you know so you wouldn't. Don't feel like you need to come with me.
no subject
Eheh...gotcha.
[He knows. He understands. He wouldn't have left the rest of the them to return to Kuja if he didn't think they'd all be okay without him. They all have their own paths, their own choices.
He reaches out to brush his fingers through her hair, before pulling back again. Then, he winks one more time.]
