[Just, you know, chewing on things a lot. He's pretty sure that if he were given a steak he'd spend a few hours with the bone afterward but he does not want to posit nor test that theory, thank you very much. UH, ANYWAY, HOW ABOUT THAT OTHER TOPIC-]
Tch. I knew someone who was good with drugs. ...The pharmaceutical kind. Medicine and crap. [Though he won't say they were all that legal.] Shame she never turned up here... She'd be able to whip up something to knock us both out and get us back to being proper human beings.
[A pharmacist? She managed to perk her little ears up at that? Such a wide array of skill sets he knew.]
That'd be nice, pending on what she'd be able to get over here. She'd make bank by selling natural remedies or maybe help the medical staff in these parts. There seems to be a niche for everyone.
[Anyway...god she was tired.]
Probably too late to change my own wish for something like that. Something we could all use.
I doubt that whole 'wish' business is legitimate anyway. It's a carrot on a stick for a bunch of dumb kids to do slave labour except the carrot isn't even real.
[...She knew that. She knew that from the very beginning. So why did she make one? Being greedy, maybe. Who even knew what possessed her to do it. Maybe just that small desire to get some closure. That one thing that seemed to worry her that she wished she could put to rest. The same bullshit that got her into this best.
Daria should have known better.]
Yet we both made one because of "tradition" or something. Maybe this place had a bit more of an effect than I first thought.
[All of the sudden, she found her eyes on the ground. She had a sudden urge in her chest. To say at least a little something. It should be...fine. He'd understand it, probably. He might be the only one who would.]
You told me you asked for a date. Well, I asked for a sign.
[Whether or not she wants to elaborate is up to her, but that's just vague enough to get him curious. Who knows, maybe 'a sign' was all her paper said. Which is just asking for trouble in a place like this.]
[Her best friend. The person she missed so much, despite everything. She'd miss her no matter what. No matter how far away or what she decided to own up to.]
That was it.
[...]
I shouldn't even have written it down. It was stupid.
[He watches her out of the corner of his eye for a long moment before letting his gaze drift up toward the stars.]
Nah. That sounds like a normal wish to me. But you ought to ask the Witch herself if you want a real answer.
[A gentle sigh escapes his lips.]
I made that kind of wish every damn day the first year- no, the whole time Luna was overseas. I missed him like hell. Even now with him off on some secret training again. Things were tough, and lonely, but I kept pulling through just to make sure I could welcome him back with a smile, you know?
[Hahah. So why's it so hard to do that these days?]
...Shit, that got really corny. I'm tired, okay. Point is, it's not a dumb wish and I hope your friend's doing the same.
[But without the seeds of Despair being sown all around her. He just keeps that thought to himself.]
[Once he turned to look at the sky, she turned her attention to him. Riye took in every single word he said and seemed to swallow each. She obviously knew he loved Luna more than anyone. In a slightly different cloth than Riye and Jane, but not so dissimilar. It was the same kind of feeling, being away from the people who mattered the most.
Welcome back with a smile, huh? Riye and Jane may be cross dimensions and not bodies of water, but it was the same mentality. No matter what happened, just keep looking forward. Mal made herself remember that every now and then.]
I was kind of corny first. We're all tired.
But thanks anyway.
[Her tail seemed to flick, and maybe a little small smile appeared.]
