[So few people know what the real problem is and Lucas isn't one of them. Amen. Also stop having psychotic friends get some normal friends!!!!! More normal ones if some already exist!!!]
That's true... But I wish for the same. What a terrible way for someone to remember their birthday.
[He is thinking mostly of the others because it does not overly bother him.]
But I thought so, too. That even with how busy they are, they still thought of us.
[HE'S JUST LIKE ???? BECAUSE HIS LIFE IS SO FULFILLED JUST WITH THAT. Also he needs to go kill Scien Brofiise. It is not yet thoughtshare in this thread or otherwise i would have thrown that in for some fun.]
Ought there be more? There are other things that I'm looking forward to, of course, but I don't know necessarily that I'd say they drive me...
[ she doesn't think he needs more than two things. she is still trying to figure out what's wrong. that would be so funny during thoughtshare.... if only!!!!! ]
No, of course not. It could have been only Nadia, and I would have understood. Didn't I tell you your dedication to both your sister and your students was what made you beautiful when we first met?
[IF ONLY... He would happily tell her about what an evil insane bad satanic creature Scien is.]
Ah—it feels like it was such a long time ago, somehow... But I do recall. I'm glad, then... I assume your reasons for wishing to return are also the same as they were, and that you're still going to make the same choice?
coward!! but that's fine... she'll let it go for now. ]
I don't know if I'd say I've been doing overly much. It's nothing different than what I've been doing on the other side. I've been learning about the other angels and writing.
I suppose it's better this way, though. To be able to have time to write letters and rest a bit, especially after all everyone on this side has been through.

It makes you think a little better of this side of heaven despite everything else. If you could ask for a birthday gift, what would you ask for?
no subject
It does, a bit... [They have comparative few worries. Someone else will be dead soon and instead of saying goodbye they get to say hello.]
Ah, really, all I'd like is to be able to spend another one with Nadia. I don't need any gifts beyond that.
no subject
So, your redemption is what you want.
no subject
I wouldn't really consider it a birthday gift, but I do wish to return to her, yes.
no subject
Is your sister the only thing that drives you now?
no subject
I wish to return to my students, as well.

there's a beat. ]
Yes. I shouldn't waver from it.
no subject
—Shouldn't?
[A little curious, since the wording and that brief pause makes it seem as though she may have considered otherwise.]
no subject
she smiles. ]
Yeah. I shouldn't. [ ... ] I won't. It'll be okay.
no subject
...Is there something that you'd rather do instead, though?
no subject
no subject
Well. You do suit decisive action.
no subject
I do, don't I? That's how Elysia should be.
no subject
I hope that it's how you would like to be, as well, and not just what you think you ought to be.
no subject
Of course it is. I will always and only ever be Elysia.
no subject
I suppose that's very true.
no subject
I couldn't stand to betray myself like that.
no subject
I can't imagine that would would. [But this is edging too much into thinking about clones territory so he's running.]
In any case - why don't you tell me a bit about what you've been doing over here?
no subject

[ it's a lot of letter writing. ]
no subject
Ah, yes... I'd imagine you get a lot of them.
[ara your fucking letters]
