[ would've been nice to have better healing earlier, but he's sure not complaining that they have it now.
anyway, he is a-ok with a tighter hug in that case, then! ]
Yeah. Took me a while to think of how to say it, but... put down that Dhurke would live to see the success of the revolution. Since they said time was movin' again I've been kinda worried that he might've already gotten executed while I was over here.
[ though he worked very hard to convince himself that his faith in apollo meant he didn't need to worry. ]
So I'm thinkin' this way, if that happened, it'll undo it somehow, and it'll make sure the revolution succeeds within his lifetime.
[ smiles, he sure hopes it does!! meanwhile siz in my dms: he'll die the day the revolution succeeds dont you know how these things go... ]
Yep, I'm good! Wasn't in jail at the point they took me from before, amazingly enough, so if I go right back there I shouldn't have anything to worry about but the trial and the revolution. Especially if we're actually gonna have money now!
[ he's going to be so fucking confused when the trial isn't even happening anymore ]
You plannin' to go back to your world or give another one a try?
Oh, that's right, we're supposed to be stupidly rich, huh. [help] Well - you know, if you need us, we'll come help.
[as for the question, there's this little burst of joy that's like... passingly confident? a little bit of anxiety, but mostly she's happy that she feels like... she deserves this? it's a lot.]
Ace asked me to go back to his with him. [she says, with a little smile.] So I'm gonna.
[actually that makes her laugh?? god imagine they just take this boat with them]
... Man, maybe. I'll ask Ace. He was all like, we're probably going to just drop into the middle of the sea, which is - like, he can't swim? So we were trying to figure that out.
Thanks, Datz. [she says, after a second, and then she just hugs him very tightly again, briefly, before finally letting go.] Um.
[she's like, vaguely embarrassed, but determined.]
... You helped a lot. Through this whole thing, from the start but like - especially after Reigen and Ace were gone, you've been... [a pause. huff.] Thanks for being my friend.
[for being someone to rely on, for a girl who hasn't ever really had anything like that before.]
[ aw. his smile softens at that, and the emotions are just fondness and pride, because she's really grown a lot. ]
Sure thing. Glad I could help.
[ it's nice to hear when he's spent so much of the past two months feeling like a useless screw-up, and a little bit of that might make it into t he vibe too.
he knows she hates the hair ruffle but he's doing it anyway!! ]
And you've been a good friend too, y'know? To me and Koko and lots of people here. I'm real glad we got the chance to know you.
[she's grown a lot! she's learned a lot. the people around her have been so fierce about loving her - to be loved is to be changed, right? it's nice.
she's glad to know that she can help even in a small fashion in return. and even though she does hate it when she gets ruffled she allows it to happen with a very small protesting noise and half-assed slappy hands. her emotions are just Happy.]
That's a new one. [being a good friend to people. a beat.] I'm gonna come see you again. If you wanted.

That's a good way to phrase it, actually, yeah. [she peers up at him.] ... He'll be fine, that covers like, all of the loopholes.
You're gonna be okay going back, right? We don't have to come break you out of somewhere?

Hell yeah, drop into that ocean on the Jailbreaker, problem solved! Just get Rita to bring the cannon back.
