[ She can! It feels nice, and there's a definite thread of happiness at the gesture. ]
... I'm sorry. I never really thought 'bout how much it probably hurts you guys. I always kinda assumed it was 'cause of you and the other Avatars that things were set up this way, but it ain't yer fault.
There's a lot of stuff happening here that was a surprise to us, too. But it's not like I blame you for thinking that. We were here before you guys, so of course we should've known what was going on.
It's been a while for you guys, yeah. [lust isn't letting go of yuel's hands anytime soon so i guess they're just holding hands now.]
...but I do. Even with everything, I like that I get to meet you guys and experience new things. And just kinda live, you know? It's not so bad when I think of it that way.
Hm...no, it's not really that. I had a lot of freedom! My mom always let me go after my dreams and supported me to do whatever I wanted to do, but it's still a little different.
[which all sounds nice and calm if you ignore the fact that there are some sort of melancholy emotions attached to that statement.]
[ If Lust is going to be melancholy, then Yuel is going to pull them into a hug. In fact, she's going to recline back into the beach chair, pulling Lust along so that they can settle against her, their back to Yuel's chest. ]
She sounds like a good mom. Sometimes it takes a crazy adventure to believe in yerself though... Ya miss 'er?
[sprawling in this chair is acceptable and lust makes herself comfortable.]
She's the best! I miss her a lot but I haven't been gone for this long either. [so it makes sense to her.] I'm sure you have people you still miss, too, don't you?
Yeah...it's weird. It really hasn't been that long, but at the same time it feels like you guys have been here for ages. It'll be weird not seeing you every day when this is over.
[ Yuel is still mostly mellow, but there is a spike of happiness at the thought that Lust might miss her. Friends... ]
It's pretty sad. I'm gonna miss you all too. Especially since some people are goin' back to awful places. I wish I could steal some of ya into my own world.
[friends!!! lust actually likes yuel a lot so yeah, wow.]
I've always wondered if there was a way to do that. Technically you guys don't have to stick with the same wish that you came here with, you know? What you've been playing for is the power to make that wish a reality. You can still get the power but apply it to something else.
But I would like to see your world someday. It seems really different than mine.
Ya know I was thinkin' that too! That maybe we could switch our wishes around, and there has to be a way—if we're all here in the first place—to see each other!
I'm really thinkin' about it... I care a lot about my original wish, but after bein' here, I think I can achieve it even without that power. [ gives lust a lil squeeze ] And then I'll help ya visit me, and show ya what it's like sailin' through the skies.
Yeah? I think it could be a great idea! All of you have been getting really close to each other anyway...it seems sad to just say it's over and have to say goodbye forever. [there's a sudden jolt of excitement because sky sailing? that sounds awesome?
though hum...]
What was your original wish anyway...? I always like to ask instead of just going off of the stuff we're supposed to know. It feels more personal that way.
I wanted to save my friend. [ There's a bit of emotional whiplash as her excitement fades into concern and longing, wrapped up with a tinge of regret. ] She's bein' hunted by a super old demon at home, and the demon eventually ate her soul and took over her body...
I tried to save her, but I wasn't strong enough. So I guess I wanted power.
Maybe not. But... I don't have to do it on my own. There are lots of people who care 'bout her. I just got really emotional and kinda charged in alone.
I totally do. [she really does!] There are friends I'd rush in to save, too, even if I didn't have the power to do it myself. I don't think caring about people is a bad thing.
[nya? she's fine with it, yuel isn't the first person to do that.]
Not like the kind you have. More like...people? Pretty bad people, sometimes. But there are monsters out there...I just haven't found them yet. Like Bigfoot.
