"They're the stubborn ones?"

"The ones most likely to be contrary for the sheer sake of it, shall we say."

She laughs. "Man, I think I used to be like that..."

"Then you ought to have some idea how to deal with it."

"Hopefully! I tended to respond pretty well to silliness and flirting and girls who were willing to fight me for dominance back then..."

"Try to remember to remove yourself from bystanders before escalating too far. In, ah, either direction."

Innocent face. "I have definitely never forgotten to do that."

"Perhaps stage it somewhere our hosts won't have to clean up," Luc' murmurs.

"True." She kisses her girlfriend's cheek. "...Also I should be responsible and properly check with you about flirting and more with alts first."

"Just don't leave me out of it."

"I'll invite you to any shows."

Kiss! ...Politely restrained kiss, considering company.

Look at how polite and restrained she can be! (She's definitely making eyes at her girlfriend.)

Anyways - she breaks off from Luc', squeezes her girlfriend's shoulder, and says to Eliana - "I can probably get the rest from everyone else? And I'm guessing Ellayania can let me know if I miss anyone..."

"That she can. Or you can compare lists as you go."

"It sounds like there's a decent chance more of us will show up sooner or later anyways, too."

"Yes, especially if Elieyha has decided to take up exploring."

"Exploring's fun! I might ever tag along if my world's stabilized for a bit..."

"It makes for a nice vacation. Some of the time."

"That sounds like a story."

"Mora and I stumbled across a world containing one of you that turned out to be some kind of illusion or simulation. We were unceremoniously dumped out when it ended."

"Weird! Is the me from there okay? Or, like, actually existing..."

"We hope so. Given her position in the simulation I believe it likely she does at least still exist, but we have had no luck in finding her again."

"Eeesh. Well, good luck going forward... Still, if we're being guided, she'll probably turn up sometime."

"When things get too boring for too long, perhaps."

"Well, I might prevent that for a little while."
