[evocationary]

[she glances over at them, and then:]

Well. I guess you know the truth better than me.

[guestservices]

Perhaps. But...I think you also have a perspective I should consider far more often.

[evocationary]

[she tilts her head to the side at that, actually.]

Yeah? What's my perspective?

[guestservices]

A little more realistic, in some places. [. . .] I think perhaps you do not always want to be optimistic, but it's counterbalanced with realistic expectations to be rewarded with the pleasant surprise of something good later.

[this makes. no sense. so.]

A tempered kind of hope.

[evocationary]

[the tips of her ears go slightly pink.]

A tempered kind of hope. [a little smile.] Sure. I like that, actually.

[guestservices]

[they don't point that out.]

I think it suits you, from my observations. And I think people need someone like that to counterbalance those who are overly optimistic and who are overly cynical.

[sort of like molly and harrow, in their own ways.]

[evocationary]

[thanks she'd die if they did]

You can just say the names, I know exactly who you're talking about. [she says, laughing a little.] Thanks, Gemini.

[guestservices]

...of course. [but they turn toward the oven.]

Let's finish the preparations and see about setting these out, shall we?

[and we can wrap this one if you want since it's thursday!]
