Shhh. I know. I wish I could promise you won't.

[And he lets them stay that way awhile, just holding him, before finally the blue and yellow drink rears its ugly head one last time.]

I could take a cue from Nav and sing horrible bawdy sea shanties at you until you're more than happy to be rid of me.
onlythans: (💔 she's mine)

He mentioned something of that to me as well. His people live as long as a Viera, or longer.

[...]

Suggesting we both run off to his galaxy, are you?
onlythans: (💔 it's not your fault you)

[personal profile] onlythans 2023-03-10 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
I've never thought about what I would do with a life as long as yours. I barely even thought I'd survive to see the end of the long road I was on before this. To see the star achieve peace.

[He considers a long minute.]

...I don't suppose you've any suggestions?
onlythans: (💔 i am through with this)

[personal profile] onlythans 2023-03-10 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
...Well. I — hm. I suppose...there is one thing, yes.

[He smiles faintly, but it's no less genuine for how slight it is.]

I'd like to live long enough to see one of my comrades have a child of their own, and play favorite uncle to the little hellion.
onlythans: (💔 let me explain the situation)

[personal profile] onlythans 2023-03-10 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Well, the thought of having one of my own fills me with a dread beyond most mortal comprehension. But to claim all the fun parts and none of the work? I could see fit to do that.

[He chuckles too, but before long his attention turns to the fact that, and so they come back to this again. Could Ryn live without his void? Could he live without his friends?]

...There is someone I need to see again, yes. Not quite on my own star, but on one of the shards surrounding it. She knows Urianger and the others already. She should meet you, too, someday.
onlythans: (💔 you can ride it)

[personal profile] onlythans 2023-03-10 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Careful, now. That almost sounds like hope you're kindling.

[Hope worthy of a kiss, in fact, and thus Ryn is rewarded with one.]

It's funny. Usually I'm the cynic among my comrades, but here I am, the bright-eyed idealist by comparison. Such an unusual change of pace.
