...Should I bring her something when we go to meet her...?
[ Ras fidgets slightly. He knows that when people want to "talk" to Diche through Ras (aka pray) they bring her gifts and such. Wine, flowers, incense, gold - things like that. Is that normal? To bring gifts to one's creator/mother? ]
No, you don't have to worry about that. She probably wouldn't accept a gift because of your status. We used to visit the church at least once a week and pray... you were in that glass box.
[He hates that glass box. He hates the Ras Containment Prison, and he really wishes the priests would stop kissing Ras in his sleep. Can people just stop kissing Ras for five seconds he hates it stop doing that—]
In a way, I guess my family "knows" you, but they definitely don't know you the way I do.
...I have not met your family, now that I think about it. Not in any of the worlds that I have known you. I suppose it has been hard to do so, considering our situation. [ The war, he means-
He gives Vildred's hands a little squeeze. ]
I would still like to do something for your family all the same. You are very dear to me, after all.
I definitely didn't show you them in "my" timeline either. But when we go back, you'll get to see my mansion, and meet my staff and parents. Oh, and I should have you meet my mentor too — he's a bit dry, though, not fun like I am.
[Girl,]
There's a whole bunch of stuff I have to show you when we kill the Archdemon. A whole bunch of human stuff, that you can't do if you're sleeping.
... [ He dips his head down after a moment's pause. He doesn't usually "express" much, but there's a tinge of sadness in his eyes all the same. ]
I... had not considered what would happen after the Archdemon is dead... [ He probably... like... should go back to sleep, right? Or, does he need to be the one to check on Ilryos? ] I do not think I want to go back to sleep, though. I would like to see the world without the war.
I know. We had a whole talk about that on the balcony. [Vildred's gaze softens, and he brings a hand up, freeing it from Ras' momentarily only to thread it through the other man's hair.] I still... want to spend the rest of my life with you.
[i'm calling the police can you Exit the fucking closet???]
...I just... do not know how to progress in that regard. There are some possibilities that come to mind, but... [ Pause. ] I suppose now that you know you have been with me for far longer than you know, it is hard for me to imagine a time when you would not be there. We have been through so much together, even if I were there for the rest of your life, I do not know how to progress... after.
I know that is selfish thinking of me, though. I apologize.
...I know. That would be hard for me too, saying goodbye to you in any capacity.
[He strokes Ras' hair slowly, gently.]
I guess we have to do what we opted for last time we talked about it! I guess I'm gonna ask Diche if she'll let me spend the rest of eternity with you!
