...

[pats her shoulder]

...unfortunately I can't take off my veil, but for what it's worth, I think you're very pretty.

[evocationary]

Thanks. I know.

[a long pause.] I'm - going to keep not assuming after I say this, because I already made a big old ass of myself with Orion once. And I guess, uh, I guess it applies regardless, but.

But I'm sorry that you ended up here.

[guestservices]

I'm sorry that you did, too.

[seriously can lup please just have nice things? please? WHY DOES SHE GET PUT IN MURDER SO OFTEN? weeps.]

[evocationary]

[no she cannot as long as i live]

Hah. [lowers her leg back to the grass, and sighs.] Yeah. I'm really tired.

[guestservices]

...

[they magic up a pillow from shadows and offer it to her?]

[evocationary]

[she laughs, and takes it.]

Think I can nap away the existential crisis?

[guestservices]

I'd say there are worse things to try!

[evocationary]

It'd probably be rude to just sleep right in the middle of a visit with you -- uh, Vulpecula.

[whispers fuck to herself]

[guestservices]

[they shrug.]

I wouldn't be offended. Maybe I could also use a nap, hm?

[evocationary]

[... holds out grabby hands from where she's flopped out in the grass???]

[guestservices]

[flops down next to her!]

[evocationary]

Yay.

[she shifts to allow them to have some of this pillow.]

[guestservices]

[naptime!]

...the grass out here is a little more comfortable to lie down on than I thought it'd be.

[evocationary]

Is it? [o:] I'm not usually a fan of, uh, sleeping outside ever. But it's not too bad.

[guestservices]

I don't usually do it, either! And nothing beats a comfortable bed. But it's pretty nice every once in a while.

[evocationary]

[a little nod...]

As long as I still have a bed to go back to. [she absently picks at the grass.]

[guestservices]

Right. It's nice as a novelty, but not so nice if you're having to do it every day.

[they stare up at the perpetual-twilight sky.]

...I wish it looked like it was daytime here, sometimes. Looking for shapes in the clouds is a relaxing way to pass the time.

[aren't you supposed to be napping. why are you talking. shut up, vulpecula.]

[evocationary]

[lup doesn't seem to mind, at least.]

I haven't done that since I was a little kid, I think. I got caught up looking at the stars more often.

[guestservices]

You like stargazing, then...?

[evocationary]

I do! It, uh, it actually is... probably why I'm here? In a weird way.

I wanted to see them. The stars, I mean. So me and my brother went to school to get there, and we ended up chased by the Hunger, and then all of that happened, and I ended up in an umbrella. I don't think the UWU would've found me if I hadn't been in there.

[guestservices]

...and then the Nightman wouldn't have found you, if he hadn't been watching the station.

[they sigh.]

It's funny, isn't it? How things like that sort of... add up, and end up forming the path you took to get where you are today.

[evocationary]

Mmhm.

It's kind of scary to think of something being more powerful than the UWU. [hate that hate that]

[guestservices]

I don't know that I'd say more powerful. Powerful in a different way, maybe.

[evocationary]

Powerful enough to watch the UWU without it sensing the guy. [but.] Different way, huh.

[guestservices]

[they nod]

At least, that's the impression I get.
