I don't think they meant as much to the others as she did to me.

[devoutish]

No. But you've got a talent for that - caring, truly caring, about injustice that speaks to you, and not centering yourself when you do it.

[bywolves]

[ Royce glances down at him, lips twitching. ]

Didn't really use to. Not in Elan. Wonder when that changed.

[devoutish]

Ah, you know. Opening your heart and all, it does wonders.

[bywolves]

[ Snortlaugh, as he reaches down to push Alfie's face. Gently! ]</small. You're ridiculous. I did no such thing.

[devoutish]

[Alfie bats at his hand with only a token amount of effort.]

Yeah, biggest heart in the Meadous, this one.

NO MY HTML

[bywolves]

[ Royce just leaves his hand on Alfie's face as punishment. ]

And you're the biggest liar.

immortalized forever

[devoutish]

I would never.

[He says, voice muffled by Royce's hand.]

weh

[bywolves]

[ It makes Royce laugh again, and he brings his hand up just a bit to grin down at Alfie. There's a pause, and then: ]

Really, though, I... I enjoyed the meeting I had earlier.

[devoutish]

Do you wanna tell me more about it?

[bywolves]

Yeah. [ Royce goes back to petting Alfie's hair. ] We went out to sit in the woods. The trees showed me a place for us to sit. We talked about exploring the ocean, and K made... flower headpieces, for all of us.

[ He sounds amused. ]

[devoutish]

And where's yours now?

[bywolves]

I took it off, because I'd never hear the end of it from you if I wore it home.

[devoutish]

But have you still got it?

[bywolves]

Left it at K's house.

[devoutish]

[Lame, Royce.]

That's a shame. I would've liked a photo.

[bywolves]

I bet you would've.

I'll bring one home next time, but you can't take a photo.

[devoutish]

What if I let you put it on me?

[bywolves]

I will happily do that anyway. Still no photo.

[devoutish]

Royce Melborn, you drive a hard bargain.

[Pause.]

Are you lot gonna have holidays and things?

[bywolves]

... Huh. I don't know. [ Royce says, after a moment. ] Maybe. That's what proper religions do, right? I don't know how proper we are.

I'll have to bring it up.

[devoutish]

If you do-- well. I'd come along, for something that was public.

[He has no interest in worshipping Zephyr, but Royce has celebrated his holidays with him, and he wants to do the same in turn.]

[bywolves]

[ Royce isn't even really interested in worshiping Zephyr either. The way the meeting went today feels more like his speed. ]

You would? [ Royce asks, lips twitching into a smile. ] If it was going to be something, it'd likely just be... ah, I don't know. A music festival with plenty of food. Like Zephyr's birthday.

[devoutish]

I would, yeah. No matter what it is. I'd want to be there for you; I'd want to celebrate with you.

[bywolves]

[ Ah, a real, full smile from Royce. ]

... Thank you.
