[she's probably in her room in the graveyard honestly because it's the most like home. the vibes are exhausted. worn out and a little sad in the way it gets when everything is just a touch overwhelming.
but like, hopeful too. very much hopeful.
she's got the door propped open, and she's just flopped out on her bed, staring at the ceiling. at the little glow in the dark star stickers up there. aventurine gets her to look over at him, and she gives him a tired smile.]
Think so. I'm sort of in shock, I think, I'll get to okay soon enough.
[she peeks up at him, tail swishing absently against the bed.]
I did. We've got plans. I don't know where he's going first, but I think he won't want to let me take on the Absolute on my own, so we'll see. [a little smile.] You going back to your own?
[i'm sorry she's just an absolutely hopeless romantic in all senses so when she talks about this sort of stuff the emotion is just like quiet little glee that she keeps hidden. mostly.]
Well. What do you hope for? [a beat.] In general, really. With Nehan, but... with your life, too.

His gaze also drifts toward the glow in the dark stars, then back over to Karlach. They can have a similar emotion output, then, tired but relieved. ]
It was a long day, with two months of buildup. You're in need of a well-deserved rest.
no subject
You too, threads. I think we've earned it. [a beat.] How's it feel to be alive again?
[she never felt all that dead to begin with, but. it's been a minute, and it's been even longer for him.]
no subject
Strange, [ he says with a little laugh. ] But in a good way. It makes the ending feel that much more real.
[ He looks down at his hands, then back to her. ]
I hear you've invited that Ranger back to your world.

[are you taking nehan]
no subject
That certainly sounds like him.
[ As for her question... Aventurine leans back on his hands. ]
We haven't talked about it yet.

[ But he's been told of the future that awaits him. ]
As horrendous as this place could be, I've really found that I enjoyed making friends and spending time together with them.
no subject
Either way - you're not going to lose those friends.
[a little smile.]
We'll still be with you. And I meant it when I said you can call on me. If you ever want a break, Faerun's a machine away.
no subject
I'm sure I'll be taking you up on that offer sooner rather than later.
[ The unspoken relief can be felt. ]
And my offer still stands, of course. Come empty my pockets anytime you're in my cosmos.
no subject
I'm going to take you up on that too! Second I've got this fucking tadpole taken out, I'm going on a tour.
no subject
Best of luck to you, Karlach. It was truly an honor getting to know you, and I'll see you soon.
