That's kind of a weird thing to keep of someone if you didn't really know someone. [ Like???? Weird. She finishes the first braid before continuing, ] Are you okay with that? Or is it just one of those things you try not to think about?

[ Like her and the dragon in the room. ]

I was apparently on Heart, but no one left on Heart was there at the same time as me, so...

I guess that's just a thing?

Huh.

[ A brief moment of thought and she goes back to braiding: ]

I guess at least that means except for him no one really knows you?

[ Which seems beneficial. ]

Yeah... I kind of wish someone did, so I could maybe get access to whatever memories he had but...

... It's probably better this way. Or at least less weird.

[ She works on the braid for a moment longer, working to finish it as she thinks things over: ]

I think like this, you can figure out things on your own terms. Maybe it is easier to ask questions and learn better if someone is here that knows you - but I think it makes it more complicated, too. You can focus on yourself and who you want to be a bit more.

[ His eyes are half-closed as he listens to her, relaxing a bit more with a smile after thinking over her words. ]

Yeah... you're right.

I usually am about these kinds of things.

[ Her confidence is more of a light teasing as she finishes the braid and then gives a slight tilt of her head: ]

In all seriousness, I don't think anyone should be trying to tell anyone who or how they should feel about any of this. As long as you figure out what's right for you with what you have, it's probably okay.

[ Glancing up. ]

I know, but it helps a lot having a friend to talk over the weird stuff like this with. So thanks for that.

[ She pauses. For a brief moment, a blink and you miss it kind of moment her smile's one of embarassment. She hides it from tucking away a strand of loose bangs and then moving to press a kiss against his cheek. ]

[ And then turns away like she did nothing at all as she puts away the rest of the braiding supplies she just magically had. ]

[ He pauses for a moment before smiling a bit fondly himself and probably wisely not commenting, hand reaching up to idly feel over the braid curiously. They can have a nice moment without heckling each other. ]

Onto the next?

[ Probably a wise decision since resettles against him with a raised brow: ]

What was it again? Bear hug and pet names, right? How about Soft-boy?

[ It's teasing, probably. ]

When'd I get a reputation for being soft?

By my standards you're definitely pretty soft.

[ A beat and she adds on: ] But that's not a bad thing.

[ Gonna tease right back then!! ]

How about something that doesn't come with a disclaimer?

Are you actually going to try to use it for longer than the next five seconds?

I'm gonna remember it at least.

Well, I've already said it so you'll already remember it.

Besides, it only needs a disclaimer if you make it need one. I was just saying how you're a good guy - but 'Good Guy Rion' is hardly a pet name. And isn't half of it to have secondary implications?

[ Look she should double down because like??? She's already said it she can't unsay it. Besides he is soft - ]

[ Honestly he's laughing at that doubling down because it's too funny and cute. ]

Okay, okay, I graciously accept the first one.

[ Elbow him before giving a satisfied hmph: ]

Looks like all you got left is a hug to see if you can get a new form, then.

[ or just stay perma werehorse like she's perma dragon - ]

Looks like it.

[ Opening his arms for her again, surely he'll survive this time. ]

[ It's time for another bear hug - But he's right :( Horse Rion just too beefy to squish. ]

[ Yesss, survival, and giving her a warm hug before letting go. ]

I think that's all of them.

Yep, now you'll have to help me.

[ Hands him the card for him to choose the line - ]

[ Tracing down the column second from the right. ]

How about this one?

[ She finds it and frowns slightly with a roll of her eyes - ]

Talking ones, huh.

[ Said with all the indignation of someone who just likes to punch things. She shakes her head: ]

Should we start at the top, then?
