Re: day 233 @2:33am, lulz

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He pauses, watching her, concern telegraphing loud and clear. He lifts a hand like he's going to reach for her, but then it hovers there, uncertain. ]

. . . You're crying.

Re: day 233 @2:33am, lulz

[420blazeit]

...because I'm happy.

Re: day 233 @2:33am, lulz

[puzzlekeeper]

[ ]

--Oh.

. . . Wait, what?

Re: day 233 @2:33am, lulz

[420blazeit]

All of these feelings,
a- and they're for me.

Re: day 233 @2:33am, lulz

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Amusement and fondness bubble through the concern. ]

That's right. They are.

Re: day 233 @2:33am, lulz

[420blazeit]

[ she's just going to cling to him. that's ok, right? ]

Re: day 233 @2:33am, lulz

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Clinging is acceptable.

He doesn't hesitate to hug back, even if it still comes with another spark of sadness. ]

Re: day 233 @2:33am, lulz

[420blazeit]

I'm sorry I don't remember,
but I will.

Feelings like this can't be kept hidden forever...

Re: day 233 @2:33am, lulz

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Shakes his head, though he doesn't let go. ]

Don't apologize. It's not your fault.

And . . . even if your memories didn't come back, my feelings wouldn't change.

Re: day 233 @2:33am, lulz

[420blazeit]

[ she doesn't want to think about that...
like, she has, but... right now she just... can't. ]

I'll get them back. [ squeezes him a bit tighter. ]

Re: day 233 @2:33am, lulz

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He hopes that's true. No one's ever gotten full amnesia that stayed that way for good, after all.

So he'll just selfishly cling to that. ]

I know. You're too stubborn not to.

Re: day 233 @2:33am, lulz

[420blazeit]

Hah. [ snorts, finally taking a step back. ]

...let's do something else.

[ she's not interested in gaming anymore. ]

Re: day 233 @2:33am, lulz

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Considering this for a second . . . ]

Is there anything specific you want to do?

Re: day 233 @2:33am, lulz

[420blazeit]

Something relaxing seems like it'd be nice.

Re: day 233 @2:33am, lulz

[puzzlekeeper]

[ The emotional bond just turns to static while he considers the options. ]

Well . . . there are shrines all over that are pretty peaceful. And it's a bit of a trip, but there's an onsen, too.

Re: day 233 @2:33am, lulz

[420blazeit]

Onsen sounds nice. Let's go there.

Re: day 233 @2:33am, lulz

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He jerks his thumb back towards the door. ]

You're driving.

Re: day 233 @2:33am, lulz

[420blazeit]

Of course I am.

I'm the best driver.

[ heads for the door. ]

Re: day 233 @2:33am, lulz

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Following after, wisely not saying anything in response to that. His emotions transmit amusement loud as day, though. ]

Re: day 233 @2:33am, lulz

[420blazeit]

Shutup. [ said fondly. and YES she knows he didn't say anything. ]

[ climbs aboard the bike and waits for him to join her. if he tries putting his hands on her shoulders, then she'll politely move them to her hips. there. ]

Re: day 233 @2:33am, lulz

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He does indeed grab her shoulders at first -- what right does he have to get handsy when she barely knows him?! -- but when she repositions his hands, he huffs a little, amusement flickering.

Fine. ]

Re: day 233 @2:33am, lulz

[420blazeit]

[ good. no arguing. ]

[ she heads off, waiting for him to give her directions, because otherwise they're quickly headed nowhere! ]

Re: day 233 @2:33am, lulz

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He gives the necessary directions, which fortunately aren't too difficult to follow considering how much of the drive is highway.

The long trip also gives his emotions time to mellow into something more calm and carefully controlled -- D.Va can probably feel how certain emotions are examined and then packaged away, like mental housecleaning. ]

Re: day 233 @2:33am, lulz

[420blazeit]

[ oh, she does notice! and it's kind of fascinating. she wonders how she does this sort of thing. she doubts she's this careful and meticulous. ] ...you know, I know I'm not myself right now, but when I am, you can... share anything with me, right, like... [ a moment's pause. ] even all of those things you don't really think you need to talk about.

Re: day 233 @2:33am, lulz

[puzzlekeeper]

I know.

[ His emotions are certainly more calm and even now than they were back at the arcade. ]

I tell you more than just about anyone.
