Re: 2/2

[advisors]

Yes, for you, if you'd like it.

Just don't make me wear something like Sin does. ( He's teasing, but still, pls. )

[terraria]

[ How is he supposed to deal with this?! His heart's beating so fast, even with that idle tease. ]

No, of course not... I was going to add my feathers to them, is all...

[advisors]

( Ah, Ja'far's heart starts to beat fast as well at that. )

Really? I'd like that. It would mean I'd carry a part of you around all day, right?

[terraria]

Yes... you'd really like something like that? It's not too ostentatious?

[ Look at him with his big fancy words. ]

[advisors]

Ostentatious? Goodness, Aspen.

But no, it's not. Not if it's you.

1/3

[terraria]

[ Ah, yeah. He's dead. He said it again...! ]

[terraria]

[ Does Ja'far even know what he's doing to him? He feels so embarrassed and shy... ]

[terraria]

[ He switches over to voice instead - ]

I love you.

[advisors]

( Ah, Ja'far's heartbeat picks up and his face pinks. He's missed this. Missed Aspen.

He switches to voice as well. )

I love you, too.

[terraria]

W... would you really pierce your ears for me? I can... I would... I want to get these done for you, but - only if you're absolutely certain. Getting your anything pierced hurts!

[advisors]

I would. And I know, don't worry. A momentary pain like that is quite alright. I'll just have to make sure to keep them clean while they heal.

[terraria]

Make sure you do. I'll... get these done for you. Especially for you.

[advisors]

( Aaaah, Ja'far can feel his heart skip a beat. )

I can't wait to see them, then.

[terraria]

[ Aspen feels a smile coming to his face, gentle and sincere, and in a way, it hurts - but it's a good sort of hurt, like stretching out an old muscle. He missed this. He missed Ja'far. ]

I love you. [ It comes out before he can stop himself, so he flusters - ] I'm sorry. I-I can't stop saying it.

[advisors]

( Ja'far laughs lightly, wishing he could hold him. )

It's alright. I missed you, too.

I love you, so much, Aspen.

[terraria]

[ Softly, dreamily - ]

You've always made me feel so safe. I don't know how you do it...

[advisors]

You make me feel safe, too. You always have. Even when I first met you here, I just felt relaxed around you.

I am so glad I met you.

[terraria]

As am I. And... now, I'm more sure than ever that I'd like to visit your world when all is said and done.

[advisors]

Ah, really? ( He sounds breathless, completely overwhelmingly happy. ) I- I'd love that. I'd love to show you Sindria! It's a bit of a mess right now, with how changed the world's become, but-

Ah, Sin. I. ( He settles, melancholy. ) Sin wouldn't be there. Not yet.

[terraria]

[ Gently; ]

I'm willing to wait beside you.

[advisors]

( Ja'far's quiet for a moment, and then, when he speaks, he sounds emotional, touched and happy. )

...Thank you. Thank you.

I'll find a way to let you visit. I swear it.

[terraria]

We'll find a way, Ja'far. I won't let you be the only one working on this.

[advisors]

( He's surprised for a moment, and then he smiles, fond. )

You're right. We'll do it, together.

[terraria]

[ Aspen sighs contentedly. ]

Thank you for letting me help.

[advisors]

Of course. We're stronger when we're together.
