Hotaru
I know that I should have told you that I would die
Just to hold you
Hotaru listens keenly, noting the far-away tone in Alys' voice and knowing she is somewhere Hotaru can't reach but equally unbothered by it. She accepts it easily as part of who Alys is, her sensitivity to nature and divination. When she returns to herself, Ru merely smiles at her from where she's already sitting on the blanket, eternally patient with those few who have earned her affection. "Of course. I expect we'll be here for a bit." No sense in standing about while drawing, or getting their clothes soaking wet. Just to hold you
Though she hasn't been asked her opinion, Ru hums contemplatively and shares it anyway. "When I died, or so I expect it was, it was quite reminiscent of this. A white, foglike void where time and space didn't have meaning - until the Voice pulled me through to Caido." She had never ended up on the other side of the portal with her family, as she had been told most had, so Hotaru had always assumed that was what had occurred.
Drawn back to her own notebook, she smiles sheepishly. "I'm considering what I want to prepare for LongNight. What I can't live without while it's safer to stay inside." Even without monsters roaming about, the absence of the sun could be disorienting, and Caido has no shortage of beasts and monsters. "I likely won't be spending it in Halo for the first time in years, so I want to be sure I have everything I need as well as what I want." For the two were, obviously, very different.
And if I just had my shit together I could be with you
But I'm too high on paranoia
