That's apparently where my mind had gone with things. Overthinking.

[She steps out, back onto the bank, trying to be careful not to slip on the grass ]

[devoutish]

[He keeps hold of her hand, and if she does slip at all, he'll murmur:]

All right?

[furgood]

[She catches herself and throws a little smile back at him] I'm fine. Just slippery, be careful.

[devoutish]

[He tries to be, edging over to a shallower slope of the bank.]

If I break a leg, will you help me hide it from Royce?

[furgood]

[She keeps hold of his hand just in case ] How would you suggest I do that? 'No Royce he always couldn't put weight on that foot, what are you talking about?' I could hide you at my place but he'd probably get suspicious.

[devoutish]

Very suspicious, yes. We'd need a proper plan.

[furgood]

I feel like telling him you'd be at my place and he couldn't come see you wouldn't work at all. Unless we hid your leg under a blanket.

[devoutish]

Wrap it in a blanket and play it off as the height of London fashion.

[He reaches his shoes, snagging them but not putting them on yet.]

[furgood]

Which I know an incredible amount about of course.

[devoutish]

Ah, well. No broken leg; suppose it's a moot point.

[That and Royce would actually be the first person he'd tell if he broke a limb, but.]

[furgood]

For the best. Wouldn't hide it from him anyways. Probablycan't carry you back myself.

[devoutish]

No, I never would. I prefer not to hide things from him.

[furgood]

I know. It's nice to be that close to someone.

[devoutish]

You miss it.

[It's more of an educated guess than a question. Gently giving her hand a tug, he starts walking along the lakeside.]

[furgood]

More envious. I don't think I've been quite that open with someone.

[devoutish]

Not ever?

[furgood]

Maybe once. Were you ever this close to someone before Royce?

[devoutish]

Family, but that's a different sort of closeness. Men I knew in the war - it's more like that. But I am closer to him than I was to them.

[furgood]

I understand. I-- Maybe Terezi for a time but I couldn't share everything. Derek and Taria had to be protected from some things. Kurloz-- even if I loved him, he knew the least.

It might be easier to talk to you about things since thou don't know any of them. None of the things involved
So you don't have your own feelings about it.

[devoutish]

[That's something that he can give an understanding nod to.]

Sure, yeah. There are things that I've only discussed with people who aren't from Earth - aren't from my own world, past, present, or future.

[furgood]

[Little smile] Royce isn't from your world, right? Makes sense.

[devoutish]

Mm. He's heard all about it by now, though, and he's got investment. But in the beginning, yeah, that was a part of why I'd talk with him about these things.

[furgood]

Well you've been practically family for ages. Of course he's invested. I'm sure you're invested in his life, in his wife and all that.

[devoutish]

His wife is a wonder. You'd like her as well, I think.

[furgood]

I'm sure I would. [Little smile ] Did you meet her in a memory?
