Charming, isn't she. [ Korone snorts, patently unsurprised. ] That was one of Nyssa's favorite play-books too.

[ Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. ]

If she tried to weaponise Epsilon, that could be an issue. [ She looks at her hand, gently flexing her fingers. Thinking back to the Memorial Garden, and the choice she'd made; to the flood of electric blue settling into her synapses. ] Hard to say for sure.

"Tell me about it." His least favorite person, really, on a number of levels. And Nyssa can also get fucked with the wrong way.

"Hm. Use your judgment, I guess. Being ready for it can only do so much sometimes. Much as I want her blasted out of my soul, and much as I think you'd be a great prospect for being the one to do it, if it would be rough on you then it's not worth it."

Re: Lobby

[bluediligence]

[ you'd be a great prospect for being the one to do it ]

[ what if! even more hug! … somehow. ]

I'm gonna try. [ She smiles a little, quiet steel amidst the softness. ] I wouldn't walk away from this anymore than I'd walk away from Nyssa if we find her in Wash-nii's soul. You're worth fighting for ... and I know I can help.

"That's my babygirl," he says, and reaches into his basket to pull out a small sphere that shines like a miniature sun, though somehow its brightness doesn't hurt the eyes.

"You'll need this. I can't really say what it'll do because the unconcious mind doesn't work that way, but when you need it, it'll work."

Re: Lobby

Oh —

[ GOSH ]

[ She holds out a hand for it, wide-eyed ]

It's so pretty! ... And super badass and ooey-gooey mushy, I bet.

Re: Lobby

[castaside]

"There is every chance of all that, yes." Heart games: subtle, they ain't.

He hands the ball over. She'll find that if she puts it away in a pocket or something, the light dims away.

Re: Lobby

[bluediligence]

[ She will put it away! … After spending a few seconds Investigating it like the curious little monkey pigeon she is. So cool. So shiny. ]

- Oh! Speaking of shiny [ she did not use that word outloud, girl please ] - I meant to ask, if I wanna talk to you will it be similar to how it was last time? Harder the deeper I go?

[ (The connection makes sense in her head, okay) ]

Re: Lobby

[castaside]

He loves what a nerd she is.

"Hm. I think it will probably be the same. The lower you go the less changes there will be from the first time. A lot about the upper levels has probably changed given how I've let people in, but those changes take time to sink all the way into the unconscious."

Re: Lobby

[bluediligence]

[ Korone nods along ]

Mm, that makes a lot of sense. [ She takes another moment to peer around the space they're in, taking in all the way it's changed. ]

... The gaps we filled, back then. Are they still settling? Still changing?

Re: Lobby

[castaside]

"Still in flux. You might see some of that, might not. It might be that the changes are more set in here and out there I just struggle with it a bit. Hard to say."

Re: Lobby

[bluediligence]

[ Korone lets out a breath, not quite a sigh, and inclines her head with a small smile. ]

Got it.

And if there's anything I can do to support you — here, or out there, with the changes or anything else … I guess it goes without saying, but still — I'll do my best.

Re: Lobby

[castaside]

"I know you will." Without a doubt.

"I don't think there's much that needs doing in here other than getting rid of her, but if you find something feel free to do whatever you think is best. If you all me, I'll try to answer."

Re: Lobby

[bluediligence]

[ Macaque giving her permission to do things gives Korone something of a pause, in that it grabs her by the heart and squeezes like she's so much silly putty. ]

Y'know, it's —

[ Lightly flaps a hand, c'mon, thoughts, c'mon, words. ]

The idea of … being here just to be here, because I'm me and you're you and we are who we are to each other — the idea of it maybe being something we could share, instead of 'just' a necessary evil …

[ Chuckles sheepishly, ducking her head. ]

… I dunno how to put it into words. Sorry.

Re: Lobby

[castaside]

He smiles at her.

"I think you're putting it just fine. And you're right as well. What we are to each other has changed this heart for the better, so I'd like to share it with you. I don't mind you looking, I don't want to hide anything from you."
