Comments

[devoutish]

Yeah, I was. I remember him telling me that he talked me up; I thanked him for it.

[furgood]

I liked the whole 'oh no I have to go hunt, let me just leave you two together'... He also said you missed me a few days ago when all the animals had conspired against him.

[devoutish]

When all the animals-- ah, you mean the wasps?

[furgood]

Nooo less literally. Did he get stung by the wasps? I was talking about how he got locked out of the house thanks to Bear.

[devoutish]

Ah, that.

[Alfie grins; he's heard the story.]

And why did he say I was missing you in particular on that day?

[furgood]

[Grins] Yes, that.

Ah, he asked how I was settling back in. And I think I said I was just glad I came back in time for you all not to move on without me. In like a year, I wouldn't expect things to be the same.

[devoutish]

Ah, you meant he said I missed you while you were gone.

[He squeezes her elbow.]

Of course I missed you. And even if you had been gone a year, none of us here would have forgotten you.

[furgood]

Of course but I wouldn't expect it to be the same. Plenty happens in a year. But a few months, that's doable.

[devoutish]

Plenty can happen at any time. Especially in a place like this.

[People come, people go. Emily had disappeared overnight. Things aren't particularly solid here, he feels.]

[furgood]

Well yeah, but it's different. I've changed a lot in a year. Or a few months. [Shrug] I'm being realistic!

[devoutish]

I get your point. I do.

[Another squeeze.]

You've known me-- what, more than two years now, hasn't it been? Do you think I've changed"

[He doesn't really think that he has at all - in the grand scheme of things, he doesn't think even Norfinbury changed him that much. But he's curious to hear her thoughts.]

[furgood]

...I don't know if you have. Not much. Still stubborn. You're doing more with your faith, that's changed.[Grin] Have I?

[devoutish]

[Alfie hmmms in agreement with the comment about his faith. He doesn't really see it as doing more with his faith, but rather interacting with it publicly in a slightly different way - but he knows that to a lot of people, that amounts to the same thing, so.]

All the changes in you that I've noticed haven't really been changes. Misconceptions I've been correct on, more like.

[furgood]

Mmn, true. It's an interesting way of looking at it. You've already been very honest about who you are. I guess? I held more back then.
