Her enthusiasm is a bit contagious, though calmer at your age, there’s still some whimsy to your energy.

"Then, may you lead the way. I have never been aboard anything like this train… It far exceeds cargo starskiffs. Intriguing.”

With a journey as long and as rich as the trailblaze, you could build the universe in albums to hold in your hands.

May I…? Look at some of the photographs you’ve taken thus far?

"Thank you for caring for them, and for continuing to wield them not only for the safety of yourself, but for other precious lives.”

Stay safe, Dan Heng.

In a flash of bright lights, you will both awaken to your own realities.

You smile. +

Well then, you would hope he keeps this compliment in his memories. That he will remember it, or any of this conversation, even in the distant future.

That’s a turbulence you can’t know of yet.

Energy flickers, or your own consciousness flickers. The world around you both shifts. +

There is much to compliment, you know this is true. You will treat this strange meeting as the gift that it is, leave no stone left unturned.

"I see, I see. That is all I can ask for.” You reply with fondness in your voice. +

"It’s a good thing you with me, and not in the heat of battle.” You give him a smirk.

With a huff, and a loosening of your posture, you make your way over to them. Mimi is given a pet, fingers through mane. Then your husband’s fluffy hair is given a similar affection, betraying your previous words. You can’t help it, it’s his smile.

"Is that so?“ You’re smiling too. +

I’m glad to know that mine haven’t.”

"I’m pleased, comforted to know that both that spear and armor have ended up in the hands of someone like yourself. When I crafted them, I knew they could quite possibly outlive their original owner.

"…Compliment.” Your footsteps pause. +
