[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?

[devoutish]

No, but we write letters back and forth. She's found herself on another one of these worlds - another god world.

[furgood]

[See that sparkle in her eye. It's the sparkle of a hopeless romantic] That's amazing, it's so lucky! She must--they must be so eager to see each other. I hope they can some day soon.

[devoutish]

That's the plan. Yeah. Zephyr's talked about finding ways to travel in between the worlds.

[furgood]

I hope they can do it soon. We've managed to go to the Void and all. It must be possible.

[devoutish]

Step by step.

[They curve along a particularly steep part of the lake's bank, and Alfie gently steers her away from it.]

Haven't got a clue how long it's likely to take. The same goes for finding a way back home.

[furgood]

Well, there's a way I'm sure. I'm sure I'll miss everyone when we do. But we'll meet some new people in between.

[She tucks in closer to him, avoiding the bank]

[devoutish]

Is that how you truly think of it, or is that how you tell yourself you should think of it?

[He's asking genuinely, not just to needle and provoke, but... it is kind of a provoking question no matter how you slice it.]

[furgood]

[Her soft smile falters a little and eventually she shrugs. She's not really answering.]

I like meeting new people.

[devoutish]

[He squeezes her hand, slowing his pace a little.]

Ah, ignore me. I suppose it doesn't matter now.

[furgood]

[ She bumps him with her hip ] I find that very hard, you know.

[devoutish]

Do you?

[He grins.]

Well, all right; who am I to complain about that?

[furgood]

You're ridiculous and I hope you know that. [She squeezes his hand tight and strokes her thumb over the back of his hand ]

[devoutish]

I've heard that said. It's a very useful thing, being ridiculous.

[furgood]

Oh I'm well aware. I've been known to be ridiculous more often than not. It's more fun.

[devoutish]

Mm. When you like someone, it makes them smile, and when you don't, it confuses them.

[It's a win-win, in his mind.]

[furgood]

And where do my puns come along at on this scale?

[devoutish]

They make me groan.

[furgood]

I'm not sure where groans land on the ridiclawsness scale

[devoutish]

They're off the fucking charts, is what they are. Can't be measured.
