[ NOT THE SUSPICIOUS AMOUNT OF TIME it's okay yves would've kept going

but he'll turn around when he sees FRIEND approach and grins! ]

It's a big place? Thought it'd help. [ opens arms for a hug as he walks over! ] Hi.

[holyspirits]

[ they seem a little surprised at the hug but don't stop it, though the answering one is a little stiff, like they are out of practice. ]

Hey. [ still sounding amused at least ] The beach really isn't that big.

[noirges]

[ cute... still a good hug!! yves will just keep his arm slung around their shoulders after.... what's this height difference ramiel i'm coming for u next ]

Really? I guess it just feels big...

[ with his free hand, just gesturing out to the whole... Ocean ]

[holyspirits]

[ probably a good head above them ... they are short.

they are looking at the arm around them, though the expression on their face is, obviously. not there. then they look at the ocean ]

I'm used to bigger, but you're right. It's not small, either. [ correcting themselves!! ]

[noirges]

[ SHORTYYYYYY

but yves laughs ]

Bigger... than the ocean? That's amazing. What type of place are you from?

[holyspirits]

[ so short. itty bitty. ]

Earth. [ said in a kind of teasing way. ] I grew up in a normal neighborhood, but I've traveled a lot since.

[noirges]

Really? I'm jealous! Where's your favorite place you've been?

[ also just starts randomly walking along this beach.... yay ]

[holyspirits]

[ walking on the beach dodododo ]

My favorite place... I think it was always with someone, not somewhere.

[noirges]

[ is this...... romance? ]

Did you have... a favorite someone?

[ :)))))) ]

[holyspirits]

I do. [ they say this without hesitating??? but: ] I've got a lot of people I care about. There's just one that's a little... different.

[noirges]

[ aaaaAAAAAAAA

immediately: ]

Is it love?

[holyspirits]

[ his eagerness makes them laugh shortly ]

Yeah. [ NO HESITATION? ] Even if he drives me crazy.

[noirges]

[ AMAZIIIIIIIIING ]

I'm so happy for you!! What's he like? What does he like? Should we get him a souvenir?

[holyspirits]

He doesn't need a souvenir. [ they sound so amused at the concept ] He's smart. But not always so smart about other people.

[ at what he likes, they cheekily reply: ]

He likes me, which is what matters.

[noirges]

He doesn't need a souvenir... Is he here? [ IS YOUR LOVER IN THE MIDST, GAMALIEL

but yves smiles encouragingly! ]

That really is the most important part though. I'm glad you're happy together. That's really some of the best news I've gotten since I got here.

[holyspirits]

He's not here. But he won't need the souvenir.

[ they seem very sure of that. ok. they pause at that and turn to look at him with dubious air ]

Really? That's the best news?

[noirges]

Oohh, this is mysterious again... Where is he?

[ but the dubious air is so funny. yves just beams, bright and sincere ]

Some of it! The other best news has been seeing my friends again.

But I'm really happy you're in love. I hope you get to cherish the feeling forever.

[holyspirits]

He's never out of my range. Not anymore.

[ ok. gams tilts their head ]

You know some people here then? [ they probably know who already but this is so he talks about them first. and for that: ] It hasn't always been an easy feeling. But I don't think it's going away anytime soon.

[noirges]

Out of your... range? What does that mean?

[ listen he's just going to ask until he's told to stop ]

Mm-hmm. Adolphe and Monsieur Lucas. Do you have their files too? [ but he'll also just place a hand on gams' shoulder... ] I hope it doesn't. I think love is precious, even if it's not always simple. It's something rare, and I hope you get to hold on tight.

[holyspirits]

[ they do not tell him to stop but they do just skip over the subject like it's nbd ]

It's the same file you guys have access to. [ first of all. ] I've never met anyone this intense about love. Do you have someone?

[noirges]

Mysterious...

[ but otherwise he'll also just let it go

but he laughs softly to himself like this is a good joke ]

Nope. I'd like to. But I know that's a selfish thing to want.

[holyspirits]

I don't think it's selfish to want a connection. [ they think about it ] But I've been pretty selfish about the people I want close to me, so maybe I shouldn't talk.

[noirges]

But you're such a lovable person, Gamaliel.

[ sincere, like it's just a fact ]

I think it makes sense to want to be close to you.

[holyspirits]

Ha.

[ just. a short ha. ]

No, I've been pretty terrible at times. That's not what got me separated from people, though.

[noirges]

[ . . . ? ]

I'm serious.

Does being terrible at times mean that you're not lovable all of the time?
