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.]

[decohere]

Hah, still on about that. [tbh loves how petty he is]

My darling spy would like to have an apple orchard. So in my hypothetical ideal of an impossibility of a future... plenty of root systems to suffer.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

How... pastoral.

[pause]

... I've. Yet to find a method of interfering with your ability outside of a reality I control.

[decohere]

Maybe I'll get a bonnet.

[her grip tightens a bit at the reminder. the implication from Palamedes about how the Captain must not care much about her in return and her insistence that she'd never ask it from him anyway. but hearing that he's even considered it...]

I don't mind it so much, staying with you. Until we do. Your realities are much nicer than most of the ones I've... visited through the dreams.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

Even without root systems?

[decohere]

Without wiring in the walls and televisions that don't even turn on.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

Why would you need wires? It all works just as well, because it's meant to.

[decohere]

Just something I notice as I pass through. I do appreciate the simplicity of that philosophy.

[frowns.] But some things...

[sictransitgloriamundi]

[flatly] What.

[decohere]

That part where everything might end up destroyed.

And that you don't even remember. And I can't tell you. Not my favorite part of your design.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

Oh.

[pause]

I thought it'd be the pipes.

[decohere]

What do I look like, Mario?
