"...That would be pretty powerful magic."

"...Could be why they were depressed, if they couldn't see you anymore. And if I've slept since the loop reset point - that could be why none of them arrived in Redcliffe in the past loops. They got - distracted."

"Distracted. That'd be one word for it."

"...I think. That'd be the worst thing to ever happen to me, if it did, if I - didn't know why."

"Yeah. Me too."

" - I want to get a message to them, if we can do that before full travel. Let them know what's going on, that you're okay."

"That would be good. Yeah."

" - Do you think we could use the Truths?"

"I don't think we're that desperate. Are we?"

" - I - "

"I would be."

"Yeah."

"Please don't give away your now for this."

"Not that much. But - speed is important here, too?"

Hug.

"Only if you can get a good deal. Don't make me do something stupid again."

Tight hug. "I won't, I promise."

"Love you, Lion."

"Love you too. My El."

"If you want to do it, I'll support you."

Squeeze. "Thanks." And she sets her head on El's shoulder. "I - mentioned that I could sacrifice things for knowledge to Eliana... She wasn't very enthusiastic about the idea."

"Sounds like a smart woman."

"She is," Bellona says with a dreamy sigh. 

"Is she a good kisser?"

Giggle! "Yes!!! - How'd you know?"

"You've got that kinda look when you talk about her."

"I haven't ever kissed anyone else before, though, so how would you know what my crush face looks like?"

"You say that like I've never seen you have a crush before," El giggles. "This is that, plus extra glowy."
