It's great for staying warm in the winter months without spending a lot of money to keep the whole apartment warm. And it's a great way to pass the time with friends too.
[Just sitting here, staying warm and playing card games or something.]
It might be a little silly, but this is something I've always wanted to do with my friends. It's not the right season for it back home, so I haven't been able to ask everyone there for it yet.
Apartments where I'm from are small. There are bigger places, but they're way more expensive. Maybe in another decade I could afford something like that, but for right now I live in a shoebox.
It is, but it's not like I'm going to make millions of dollars in my first few months of working. I have to work for a long time to earn the money first. They don't pay you upfront.
...it's really okay that I'm back, right? L-like, I'm not bothering you and Ruby, am I? Because if you two wanted to do your own thing I would understand because I just want you both to be happy, even that doesn't include me I should shut up now
It is a difficult thing to bring up, but it feels wrong to not at least mention... [a beat, biting her lip.] Some people have mentioned that they think it is possible we could make archways between all the places we came from, but it doesn't seem as though there's been any proof it will be possible. And there is... something I have to do, still.
[but.]
I have also been told that I - may stand to be more optimistic. So if the others are correct and we are able to see each other after this... I would like that very much.

[in more ways than one.]
Do you like the place everyone made for you, then?

It's hardly important right now. Instead... How have you been?

Lean forward for a moment?
no subject
Date: 2022-04-08 02:49 am (UTC)S-sorry...
[But he leans forward.]

Date: 2022-04-08 03:11 am (UTC)[which is why she's leaning across the table to kiss him.]
no subject
Date: 2022-04-08 03:30 am (UTC)Well this is already a better kiss than their last one, yes.
He's a little shy about it but he'll return the kiss too.]

Date: 2022-04-08 03:38 am (UTC)We're both very glad to have you back. You haven't bothered us at all.
no subject
Date: 2022-04-08 04:30 am (UTC)[He still feels like he's going to wake up at any moment and this won't be real.]
...so I can kiss both of you any time I want? Or, er, at least ask to kiss any time I want.

Date: 2022-04-08 04:39 am (UTC)Well, I'll let Ruby answer for herself even though I'm guessing I know her answer, but... I wouldn't mind that.
