[ 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.

[ 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.

[ softly ]
I do too... even if I've chosen something different. I know that the pull of responsibility can be awfully strong.

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. ]

[ 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 ]
