[Please........begging this grave to be normal. But he'll offer a smile! It's a bit smaller than usual, but seems fairly genuine.]

Of course I did. Speaking through letter just isn't the same at all, even though I did enjoy all of yours.

[florescences]

[ elysia hasn't been normal since conception. sorry but not sorry for that. ]

Hehe, good. I looked forward to all your letters. [ she looked forward to every letter from everyone. ]

How are you feeling, Lucas?

[faithkept]

[SHE REALLY IS SO ABNORMAL i love that for her.]

I hope that you got plenty of them each week. [Said knowing that she got a fair few.] But I'm alright, thank you. Only a bit sore.

[HE'S FINALLY FREE FROM CYOA INJURIES.]

[florescences]

[ she would have written to more people but i, ara, am weak.

she sighs. ]

I suppose I shouldn't have expected anything different from you, huh?

[faithkept]

[that is so valid i had to do so many letters and i wasn't even on deadside]

Did you?

[Truly he is just so reliably him.]

[florescences]

[ she reaches out for his face and just

smooshes his cheeks. ]

[faithkept]

[HELP. Him cheeks... They are smusht.]

...

[florescences]

[ and then she hugs him because he's insane. ]

[faithkept]

[DON'T JUST HUG HIM BECAUSE HE'S INSANE. He will gently pat her back after like a brief moment of surprise.]

Whatever is this for, my dear?

[florescences]

Because I felt like it. Because I wanted to.

[ because he needs so much help. ]

[faithkept]

[HE'S SO FINE. The great part is how fast he can bounce back from trauma wowee!]

I see... Well. Thank you, then. I did miss being able to give you hugs.

[Which he'll do so, returning hers.]

[florescences]

[ is that great... or is that insane...

anyway, she'll just continue draping herself onto him until he objects. she's more or less testing how much he's been rebooted. ]

I did miss your hand in mind and how easy it was. Is there no guilt, Lucas?

[faithkept]

[IT'S GREAT. He doesn't seem to object! He is a very tactile person, hilariously; he just mostly keeps it to lil hand and arm touches and head pats.]

Ah... Are you asking if I hold any? I do, of course.

[florescences]

[ they can stay like this, then. ]

Okay. What are you planning to do next?

[ she's kind of worried about how fast he's bounced back even if he's still kind of zoned out in his own way. ]

[faithkept]

[They are staying like this... I SUPPOSE.]

What do you mean? [His head cants a bit to the side, expression curious.] I suppose I'll do what everyone else needs to do here in order to heal.

[florescences]

[ YOU SUPPOSE..... she's just being free on this last day of loss week.

she hums thoughtfully. ]

What do you think redemption means for you?

[faithkept]

[I SUPPOSE!!!! Good for her though, as she deserves.]

...I'm still uncertain. I ought to pray again and ask for a bit of guidance, really.

[The things he thinks he needs to redeem himself for are hard things to redeem himself for.]

[florescences]

Does the god here really answer your prayers?

[faithkept]

They do, yes. [A little nod!] I've only prayed to them directly once before, but they did answer.

[Everyone else writing letters and sending texts and Lucas just like hold my rosary.]

[florescences]

They do seem diligent about their job. At least that's what I get from their letters.

What do you think of them from the one time?

[ not everyone can be as religious as you, lucas ]

[faithkept]

[No one should be as religious as he is. That said, his smile softens and there is just such a warm look.]

It was a very reassuring experience. I wish that others could have it, but I understand that many are still very frustrated with God, so I don't know if speaking to them so directly would help.

[florescences]

I like them from my letters. They just seem very busy to me, but they've answered all my questions diligently.

[ she's fine with them but she is fine with everyone. ]

[faithkept]

[If only more people could be that way, damn.]

I'm glad that they have. I've heard they're making a greater effort to reach out when people contact them.

[florescences]

[ yes well you might not actually want that many people like elysia ]

It sounded like they felt like it was part of their responsibilities.... letters can be much like prayers.

[faithkept]

[I AKI THINK THERE SHOULD BE but also no one can do it like Elysia does it anyway.]

Mm... That's certainly true in some cases, yes. Though I imagine it would be a little faster to pray, they also didn't say much the one time I did. Perhaps in a letter, they can be more thorough.
