[oh i threw it at them already, the mods are suffering me this week]

Oh, huh. That's sort of neat, though? Could come in handy. [...] Uhhhh.

[her tail flicks, and then:]

I can give people dreams.

[recession]

[ I FUCKIN' KNEW IT WAS YOU cries and holds Karlach in my palm. ]

Dreams...? Any kind of dream?

[ablazement]

[LAUGHS GUESS WHO ISN'T SUBTLE IN THE LEAST]

Sure. They come out mean or weird even when I try for them not to, though.

[recession]

Do you have an example...?

[ This is such an odd ability in his eyes. Eye. ]

[ablazement]

Like trying to make someone feel better about things but there's got to be, like, horror. First.

[she doesn't know what to do with it half the time so she's just like uhhh... hope you like this.]

[recession]

[ ... ]

Karlach did you dream me Tuesday two weeks ago.

Look, I tried to make it nice!

[recession]

[ Well, he doesn't look mad. Maybe just a tiiiny bit exasperated at best? But even then there's a sort of mild softness to it, in the 'what am I going to do with you...' sort of way. ]

...Thank you. It was kind of nice.

[ablazement]

[slightly pouty, but.]

You're welcome. That's all I wanted. To make the best of a shit thing I was handed.

[recession]

That's what you're best at, right?

[ablazement]

S'what I'm trying to be best at.

[she rubs at her chest, expression twitching.]

[recession]

Think you've been doing a decent job, everything considered.

I don't think most could keep trekking on as well as you do.

[ablazement]

[silence, for a little bit.]

I've got my shitty, bitter moments. [...] I want people to remember me as happy. I want to have been happy.

[recession]

If that's how you want to be known, that's how it'll be.

Even better if we really do get that heart right back in place.

[ablazement]

[well. she smiles a little, glancing at him.]

Careful, solider, that almost sounded optimistic.

[it's a very, very gentle tease. it's a nice thought.]

[recession]

What, I'm not allowed to be?

[ Come on. ]

[ablazement]

I like it when you are! Best sound in the world. Well, second best.

[recession]

What's the first-best, then?

[ablazement]

Something I won't be telling you because you were like, what do you mean you like to read smut rags the other day.

[recession]

I didn't say what do you mean, I said it somehow didn't surprise me.

[ But the fact that she gives THAT as the example is so wild. WHAT IS IT. ]

[ablazement]

[cackling!!]

Well, forgive me for a bit of modesty. Just found myself missing Boots a lot today.

The best sounds change all the time, anyway. They get all rearranged when I hear nice ones.

[recession]

[ Just looking at her mildly. ]

What you do in your own time is none of my business.

But I'm glad you're enjoying yourself -- the little shifting things in life and all.

[ablazement]

[this is what happens when she forgets to have a brain to mouth filter, honestly]

Yeah. A lot of the time it's laughter, you know? Aerith's laugh is really nice. Vin's, too, when you can manage to earn it.

[recession]

[ At least Daan is very unfazed also. He's been at war, people get pent up. He's seen the red light district for sfw reasons (incidentally, talking to him about that is what gets that 'get your mind out of the gutter!' line). He knows people do things. ]

Makes sense.

[ Aerith's probably does sound nice. Vin's, he hasn't really thought about but he also agrees it'd just be nice to see that kid be happy. ]

[ablazement]

[daan as the kermit tea meme just literally like that's none of my business and also keep it that way]

... Haven't really heard a lot of laughs, these past few days. But I'm hoping for at least one or two.
