Hmm - I have some writing to get done. Perhaps a bit more exploration with the others, here and there... spending time with our dear, newly returned.
[ taair smiles at chrono as they're heading out, hands behind his back, and observes: ] You're in a good mood this morning. Did something happen, my friend?
Won't keep you from the books too long, then. What ya writin' about?
[ he laughs, lightly. no hiding it with the effects, but even without them it's all over his face. ]
It was just a really nice day, yesterday. Firefly and Mr. Lucas are gonna join me for cooking tomorrow. I was able to help Mr. Fidelio with something. And... [ warmth, pride. ] Laurence showed off his powers a bit.
[ nooo cute... he radiates fond feelings as this goes on, clearly just warm and happy. ]
I am writing a chronicle of this place, bit by bit. Ellie and I are working on compiling a story that hopefully we can distribute by the end of our time here.
[ he's been writing one on and off the whole time, really, but - now the work feels extra urgent. and oh, does that fondness increase the more that he talks... cute... ]
His transportation powers, yes? Did you get to experience it?
[ he shifts, awkwardly, not quite sure if he should say anything but really needing to get this out because he is just so happy about it. ]
So... I don't have powers or anything, really. But I have reached out to another world before, and been able to bring someone through. [ a few someones, actually, but one semi-permanently. ] Through a bond. It doesn't work from just my side, though.
[ well. it could. but he's not in the habit of kidnapping, so. ]
A bond, and a gate of some kind. That's what's needed to make it happen. I can't make a gate, but-- well, Laurence can. As long as he can find me, then... [ there's a smile just taking over his face. ] He was able to do it, yesterday.
oh my gosh, he can feel taair's emotions just bloom like fresh flowers, into joy and delight - he clasps his hands together, the expression on his face almost indescribably wondrous and thrilled for him. ]
Chrono, that's incredible! So no matter what happens, you two would be able to see each other when all is said and done? Oh... to hear that makes me so happy - how wonderful. And what a beautiful connection between your skills and your hearts, too.
[ this protag ass cuteness ]
I have heard tale that we will be able to at least speak to each other through our phones - so I am sure that will count as being 'able to find someone', no? How lovely.
[ it's embarrassing to hear it worded that way but he's so pleased by the encouragement it almost deflects the shyness. almost. he still goes pink, laughing lightly. ]
It's not a sure thing, yet, but... I think we can do it. Just made me real happy, especially on top of already having a good day, y'know?
[ he hums. ]
I was wondering if we'd be able to keep our phones. Feels like we're owed at least that. [ hmmm... ] Are you gonna go back home after this? Or somewhere else?
[ there's a beat before he answers - his gaze flicks off to the horizon. ]
...I will go home, of course. [ soft, but there's a weight to it, something a little melancholy. ] Though I do not know if it will make anything better or not, if what the angels have said about us returning to where we were, and rewinding time back so to speak, then - I cannot deny Iria the chance to try again.
[ ah... chrono exhales, deep, a mildly sad huff that's not quite a laugh. ]
Thought you might say that. [ his tone is light, but tinged with care, concern, and a little tiny bit of disappointment that also bleeds through the emotional feedback. ] You're too good, Taair. I'm gonna be worried about you the whole time, but... you can do it. If anyone is capable of fixing things, it's you.
[ ...if anyone is capable of fixing things, it's you.
is that so true? he returns home to his birdcage, to lady caris' puppet strings. he returns home alone, in the same situation he was in when he left - moments from the apex of her rise to power, with taair as her pawn, placed to harm the people he cares for the very most.
alone. in a lot of ways, alone again.
despite all of this, he smiles. soft, gentle, and accepts the compliment with a dip of his head. ]
[ the melancholy is not lost on him, despite his own bubbly mood. he worries for taair, and will miss him immensely; duty and love for one's home, however, are too powerful of incentives to ignore.
but. ]
...you know, a bond, and a gate. It's possible that if it works for us, we could reach out for you, too. Sometime.

[ the fondness is mirrored here. he's just... happy, almost purely, for the first time in a while. ]
Yeah! It's really cool, and-- ah. [ a little sheepishly; ] Could... you keep another secret, Taair?
no subject
[ sooo sincerely. he tilts his head, though, a brief emotional flicker of curiousity. ] What is it?
