[But that would mean rereading it]

No, uh- It'd be easier just ta leave myself a couple sentences. No need ta fill out an entire thing!

[eluvianathema]

[:|a]

I suppose...

[tatsumi_textiles]

[Quickly jotting down a short letter to himself, still in that absurdly neat handwriting]

I'm dating Takuto on Dawon. I gave up my memories of him for the game so I wouldn't die. Talk to Ed, Kaito, or the Caretaker about a quest to get my memories back.

There, see? Done.

[eluvianathema]

You ought to describe him, too. Like how you described him to me, with the red hair and the glowing and the fiery eyes.

[tatsumi_textiles]

I have his name, that outta be enough!

[It's a weak protest, though.]

[eluvianathema]

But you called him Peony earlier, didn't you? You could mix him up with someone else. It certainly won't hurt to give you a way to recognize him, will it?

[tatsumi_textiles]

Yeah, but there's two tall guys with red hair on Dawon, so that ain't gonna work either.

[eluvianathema]

But only one whose eyes makes you feel warm and invited.

[tatsumi_textiles]

Yeah, and If I give up my relationship with him, how're his eyes gonna do that?

[They would do that anyway, since charisma area effect, but Ochre doens't know that.]

[eluvianathema]

You'll have to look very deeply. If you do that, you might even fall in love with him a second time.

[tatsumi_textiles]

[But can Kanji's eternal monogamy survive through Ochre's double amnesia?]

I guess...

Takuto, or Peony, is the other red head on Dawon, the one without the shark teeth.

[eluvianathema]

[looks at him expectantly]

[tatsumi_textiles]

What? They both have red eyes!

[eluvianathema]

Like smoldering embers.

[tatsumi_textiles]

I ain't gonna write that!

[A man's got limits!]

[eluvianathema]

Maybe I'll write it.

[tatsumi_textiles]

[Sputtering and holding the pen to his chest, eyeing her warily]

[eluvianathema]

[she leans in and looks like she's going to try and grab it... then stops, and just laughs]

[tatsumi_textiles]

[Still glaring her down]

The hell're you laughin' at?

[eluvianathema]

I'm laughing because my heart feels light, even though it should feel heavy, as heavy as a stone in my chest. Ma serannas, Ochre.

[tatsumi_textiles]

[HE stares at her blankly for a moment before he remembers exactly why they're writing the letters, and what's at stake.]

Yeah, well. If we ain't gonna keep the power away from her, least we can do is keep her from enjoyin' watching us freak out.

[eluvianathema]

I think we've done that well enough.

[tatsumi_textiles]

Least until we hear how the others bid, anyway.

[Then, all bets are off]

[eluvianathema]

I suppose it's just waiting, now.

[tatsumi_textiles]

Ain't it always?
