You're so cute. I'll reward your honesty since I do love you... I know very many are ready for this entire experience to be over with, but they're not ready to part with everyone. There's no easy solution for that.
... yeah. Even before when I was texting God not realizing I never asked to see Gabriel's phone [ unbelievable ] he made it pretty clear to me that a choice would still need to be made at the end.
[ she has to agree, on account of bias, but even if she weren't as biased, she'd still agree. she kisses his cheek. ]
That's what I've been hearing, and after asking some people their plans, a lot of them are choosing to return to their own homes. It's a little bittersweet even if I do understand.
[ isn't that part of why she loves him? she reaches for one of his hands. ]
It'd be nice if people could choose something that makes them happier. [ out of all the choices available to them, even if they can't be the happiest for one reason or another. ] Can I monopolize you for a little bit? Right now?
Hehe, okay. I'm going to take you away for a small while.
[ in what little time they have left.
she looks off to the side, and for a brief moment, it looks like a sea of stars stretches across the ground before something like a manta ray appears. she's just a little cuter and prettier than everyone else. ]
[ he will take that hand easily and follow her onto it, being careful of his footing but despite his drunk stumbling in a few days he's normally light on his feet ]
[ what else than to depict their escape from reality ]
I'll think about it. [ she looks delighted at the idea of the cookbook. ] Oh! That's such a wonderful idea. We're a little melting pot of Heaven... and I know Basilio has been doing his best to learn recipes from all our worlds. I love that.
[ she nestles comfortably against him. it's something she likes to do on the eve of a goodbye, taking a sky ride and look at everything she's come to love, at everyone she loves. ]
I am, too. Even with all the interference, I'm happy to know all of you and come to love you all. I wouldn't trade it.
[ he shifts to make it more comfortable for her, letting them fit against each other so easily. he runs his fingers through her hair and sighs ]
I know that maybe I should be a little more worried about the future but... [ he's not. there's a confidence he inherently carries in the face of danger that has been diluted by all his sadness here, but is extremely obvious now ]
Instead, I'm just happy we got to this point at all.

[ don't just be so fucking confident about this

... I imagine you would.
[ softly ]
I do too... even if I've chosen something different. I know that the pull of responsibility can be awfully strong.
[ it's just that for yves, the pull of love is the strongest in the universe ]

Oh? Let me see the others. Is this book for you or for us?
no subject
why wouldn't she ]
Can't it be both? Making it is for me... but I'd give it to anyone who wants it.
[ she'll let him scroll through her photos on her phone if he wants. the most recent ones are photos of the insane cagfe midnight encounters. ]
no subject
he laughs even as he just lets his chin rest on her shoulder and laughs as he admires all the photographs ]
Maybe make copies? I've been trying to help Bas with a cookbook and making a bunch for people to take home...

[ he just sighs even as he holds her close, enjoying the way that they're rising up to the sky and having a little moment to marvel about it all ]
