No. [ there's a pause, as she figures out what to say. ] It's not you. I can't really... do that. Or, at least, normally I wouldn't even be able to really touch you. I don't think it would be a nice experience for anyone, in the end.
Hmm, my health is really delicate, and I can get sick very easily, and depending on how bad that sickness is-- I can easily die from it. It's pretty bad where I'm from. For the first weeks here, you guys weren't even really interacting with me, but a water clone of myself.

I only stopped doing that after Scien and I confirmed it was safe, after a lot of research and experimenting. But once we're out of here it's just going to go back to that kind of living.
Don't use a wish on it, there's no point if it's just me. My entire species is like this, and I don't think I could live with myself if I'm fine but everyone else isn't. The wish isn't strong enough for all of them.

I mean, I'm— I told you how my world is, I don't think I even have anything worthwhile that I could wish for for myself that wouldn't just get undone once I got home.
I wonder if we could figure out some sort of loophole to that with a wish...
[ she trails off, although they can probably go back and forth with that. ]
How about this? When we deal with this god, we can circle back to this and consider options for your wish. It'll give us a few days to think on it, okay?
[ he's just going to spend those days thinking up a good loophole for a way to use it to get her what she needs though, not for some way to trick his own world. he knows himself well enough to know he'd use it on some stupid bullshit given the chance. ]

...and then just fidgets a little as he quietly radiates anxiety, alpha week is really not helping him out here like it should. ]
So... um, I've kind of been meaning to ask for a while... are we, like...

[ well. shit. he's not sure what explanation he was expecting but it wasn't that.
he lets that sit for a moment, his emotions a low, staticky mess.
