[probe]

Yeah, exactly. Or a tale of a tragic romance lost because two lovers were torn apart. Even if it's sad it can be beautiful.

[aubins]

It's less of a beautiful tragedy if you live it, I think. Given some of the things I've seen.

[probe]

I know...but you know what I mean, right?

[aubins]

To a point, yeah. Those kinds of stories are popular in my time too.

[probe]

That's what they are for me. Just stories. [she's looking around again, staring to walk forward. come on. tour time.]

I don't know if I could ever live the life you have. I know I'm pretty lucky that way.

[aubins]

[ a tour of the monastery..... in space! ]

Maybe. But I don't know what your life is like, and from what you've told me it has its own troubles too. It's part what you're used to, I think. I know how to work with what I have and how I live better than I would know how to do the same with your life.

[probe]

True...they do say the grass is greener on the other side and all, but I've never thought about it that much because things used to be so easy.

[aubins]

"Used to be". Ah, everyone has their own issues. Depending on what you know they might seem better or worse.

[probe]

It also depends on what we're calling issues! There are some things that're more like a crisis than others, you know.

[aubins]

Like a huge war. Or a big loss.

[ things they understand, either one or the other, huh? ]

[probe]

...okay, okay. I get the hint. No more comparing.

[aubins]

[ pats her head. ]

Good girl.

[rainbowings]

[hee.]

Come on. Let's go look around some more. I wanna see everything.

[and we can handwave the rest because this is long already and endgame!]
