I know that. Well...I want to say I wouldn't give up something important no matter what. And maybe that's true. But the most important thing is your life, you know? You can't get that back once it's gone. So in the moment I'd probably give up an important emotion.

[nods.]

You understand, then. In the heat of the moment, and while faced with a dangerous threat, it's easier to reach for emotions that hold a lot of weight.

And even outside of those situations... mm, some people make discoveries about themselves after having those feelings returned.

After having them returned? But then you're just going back to normal.

Yes, but with the added awareness of what it was like to be missing that specific thing. It can grant someone a different perspective.

I guess I'll find out when I get mine back. How long did you say it would be gone for?

I'll return it after helping you both get into the baths. Unless you'd rather I keep it longer?

I'd rather you not hold onto it longer than you need to. But if there are other people who need to be transported around, then you're free to hold onto it for a few hours. It's more efficient to keep the transportation than you have than have to make another one with someone else's emotions, right?

Are you sure? I can just carry people in my arms, it was just difficult to do with two of you at the same time.

Yeah, I don't mind. It's helpful, isn't it? Just make sure to give it back later.

Thank you for your consideration, you'll have it back as soon as I'm done. I don't need to come to you or anything, it'll show up as a candy and you just have to eat it to regain the emotion.

That's even more convenient than I was imagining.

You should still stop by later though. Or I can come visit you?

... Visit?

Yes. Unless you don't want me to...?

... I don't mind, but I think it's more important for you all to focus on recovering first.

[pulls up outside the door to the baths]

Aaaand we're here.

I recover better with company. I get lonely very easily, you know.

[he keeps one hand on the golf cart as he hops out and goes to collect Frost from the back]

[he also gets off the cart to help him with that]

The rest of Cirrus will be there for you.

[just. an observation.]

I know. Does that mean I can't ask for your company too?

[?????????? is this because I know things about Vincent Charon Frost he doesn't ??????????]

No, I'm just confused at how my specific company could make a difference.

How do I put this...you're a good conversation partner?

[oh it's absolutely that.]

I'm flattered that you would think that when most of my job consists on me remaining quiet and alert for extended periods of time, but I'll take the compliment regardless. Thank you.

[his expression falters]

...I understand you must be quite busy. Please forget I mentioned it.

[nudges open the door to the healing pools with Frost in tow]

Still, I'm sure I'll see you later. Take care.

[what]

I'm not busy??

Yes, but you don't seem interested. I'm not going to force you to keep me company or anything.

[this is a trap and I know it's a trap and I know you probably know I know it's a trap but if I know then I'm not being baited and the whole trap falls apart]

I'll drop by.

...You don't have to force yourself. But, I'd be glad to see you.

[ducks into the healing pools bye!!!]
