[a pause]

The thing I'm not meant to know. How... dire is it, exactly?

[decohere]

Oh... [her face probably says it all.]

Potentially reality-ending levels bad, by my estimation. I've been trying to get more answers, but I'm... at a bit of a dead end with no viable solutions. But you know I'm prone to paranoid conspiracies. Could be... less bad? [doesn't sound all that convinced.]

... Are you worried?

[sictransitgloriamundi]

... I'm worried because he's worried.

[decohere]

It's a difficult position for him to be in. Because he's scared of losing you. So am I.

He wants to do what's best for you, but we're not sure what that is because we're not even certain what it is that you've done. I'm doing my best to support him, get him the information I can, but I wish... I could do more. It sucks.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

Hm. [...] It's not like there's much to lose.

[decohere]

... don't say it like that. You're everything to him.

And you're my friend.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

... [picks at a thread on his sleeve]

[decohere]

[slowly offers out her hand]

I'm not going to give up.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

[...

puts his hand in hers.]

[decohere]

[very gently curls her fingers over his.]

And I don't want you to give up either.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

You do all keep saying that. Perhaps I ought to listen.

[decohere]

Did you ever put any thought, into that... truth I asked you before?

[sictransitgloriamundi]

... If I say I've completely forgotten what it was, are you going to take it personally.

[decohere]

No. [light squeeze.]

It was just what sort of happy ending you might envision for yourself. That's my trick, whenever I feel like giving up. I think of the things that make it worth to keep going.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

[he's quiet for a short while, and when he speaks, his voice is quiet.]

Him. Just him. Anything else of worth comes from that.

[decohere]

You both better come visit.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

[a snort]

Your spy might not appreciate that.

[decohere]

Aw, you just have to get to know him. He even tolerates Maximilien these days.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

I'm afraid I'm a bit of a harder sell than even him.

[decohere]

... He liked Ava Day. So that's points in your favor.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

[glances at her]

I didn't make that up, you know. It's a real thing. I thought it was funny that they coincided.

[decohere]

Oh.

So it wasn't because you like me. Or a declaration of friendship. Or... trying to embarrass me by putting my name everywhere?

[sictransitgloriamundi]

I just thought it was neat.

[decohere]

Me too.

And the little strawberry face. Nice touch.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

Because I focus on the important details. Not root systems.

[he will actually never get over that just fyi.]
