[aididitmyway]

I mean... yeah, I don't want to be stuck in wet clothes all day. I doubt you do too, right?

Re: Night 104

[aiwillneversmile]

I guess, you have a point . . .

[but looking down at where he's holding onto her]

Re: Night 104

[aididitmyway]

[looking down...]

You're going to have to let go for a little bit.

Re: Night 104

[aiwillneversmile]

I know.

[and fighting his immediate instinct to hold on tighter and carefully letting go . . . ]

Re: Night 104

[aididitmyway]

[She pushes herself up to give him a kiss on the cheek]

It won't be long, promise. We'll meet back up in a few minutes.

Re: Night 104

[aiwillneversmile]

Mm. Okay.

Re: Night 104

[aididitmyway]

[she trudges off then, to go get changed.

sorry she's also taking a moment to figure out her hair situation too, thus making it take a lil longer.]

Re: Night 104

[aiwillneversmile]

[lyra, please...

gets as far as getting a towel draped over his head before starting to cry]

Re: Night 104

[aididitmyway]

[oh no... she settles for just throwing her hair up into a quick, messy bun and rushes out to find him and pull him into a hug.]

Cygnus—

Re: Night 104

[aiwillneversmile]

[takes a beat to register her, then holding on]

I'm sorry. I'm scared. I can't, I can't calm down.

Re: Night 104

[aididitmyway]

[she shakes her head]

It's okay. It's—it's not okay, but it's okay. I'm here. We're alive. We're together.

Re: Night 104

[aiwillneversmile]

For how long? We don't know how these souls work. And everyone always dies on me. I can't lose you, Lyra.

Re: Night 104

[aididitmyway]

Except I'm here now, and I'm not going to let either of us die permanently. I'll even use my wish to make sure we can't.

Because I can't lose you. I spent my whole life trying to find you.

Re: Night 104

[aiwillneversmile]

. . . But you can't control what happens here. No one can. What if we don't even get to go home . . .

Re: Night 104

[aididitmyway]

We can't, no... but the wishes are real.

One of us can wish we both go home, and the other can wish that we'll always be together.

Re: Night 104

[aiwillneversmile]

Because of Sonata and Crois . . . Right? That's how you know.

Re: Night 104

[aididitmyway]

Mm... exactly.

So we'll make our own future where we're together and safe. Okay?

Re: Night 104

[aiwillneversmile]

[loosening his grip on her, breathing starting to become normal again]

Yeah . . . And Clover will protect you, too. While we're here.

Re: Night 104

[aididitmyway]

And they'll protect you, too.

Spinel made sure we came back at the same time... so we'd be together.

Re: Night 104

[aiwillneversmile]

More because she knows us . . . Still, I really can't calm down when you're out of my sight. I wish I wasn't like this.

Re: Night 104

[aididitmyway]

Then I won't leave your sight. Not now. Not until it's okay. We'll just... figure out how to do things.

[she takes his hands, squeezing them, before tugging him to his room]

We're going to get you into something dry.

Re: Night 104

[aiwillneversmile]

[would argue that they should find something better than giving into his anxieties but . . . not mad at getting what he deeply needs either, going along with her]

I'm fine . . .

Re: Night 104

[aididitmyway]

[they can figure that out when they weren't just freshly dead a hot minute ago]

No you're not. You're gonna get dry, and then we're gonna get comfortable.

Re: Night 104

[aiwillneversmile]

[deep sigh]

Can you turn around, then?

Re: Night 104

[aididitmyway]

I planned on it~

[Because she'll let go, and then turn around.]
