she laughs, and lets go of him, brushing his arm off.]
Sorry, sorry. I should know better than to just hug without asking. Look - I promise I'm going to find a way. Okay? To see you, so you don't have to lose anybody.
[DOES THE THING like when a cat grooms after it's embarrassed, so he's just idly trying to fix his clothes when clearly he's flustered.]
It's fine.
[STOP APOLOGIZING. He's grown too used to being, what? Handheld, hugged, KISSED apparently.]
You can't promise anything like that. [...] Neither can I. Though there are two wizards between us, and inter-planar teleportation isn't unheard of even if it requires a high level of arcane experience.
I really think Gale can do anything he sets his mind to, Essek. So if I can't figure anything out, he's going to.
[he fucked the goddess of magic, bro, he can do whatever he wants]
You learn your inter-planar nonsense, and I'll fuss at Gale until his big brain comes up with a solution, because I'm not going home without the promise that I can see Vin, and Ash, and Suguru and Satoru. Every single one of them.
[she says this with such confidence that she cannot possibly have but. you know.]
[It's funny. This has shown up a handful of times, but it's up for debate if anyone took much noticed. He is very confident in his wizardry. Maybe too confident; that's his downfall. Familiar. Two of them.
Anyhow, he is confident in his wizardry, but he is not confident in anything else. Not in his trust of other people, not in friendships, not in romance, not in the fate of the world as it quivers beneath cosmic destruction.
It's funny that Karlach's sheer refusal to not be determined against all odds is... kind of... reassuring? He believes in her belief.]
but she watches him sort of work through this a little, get to a place where he can be a little reassured, and smiles. her tail swishes back and forth.]
[LISTEN. It's fine. It took him a few moments, but it's FINE. Why is it now more awkward in the settled silence than it had been when he was desperately trying to work through his feelings regarding friends and shit????
Glancing away.]
We can talk about it later, after we know whether we succeed or fail.
