[ hm. well, if he has thoughts about that, laurence is keeping them to himself for now. ]
You mean do I feel any different about home? [ looks down at the bar, thoughtful. ] Honestly? I don't think it really matters. Even if the Tower isn't perfect, where else would I even go? It's still one of the safest places for demiflora like me.
[ laurence is allowed to withhold his thoughts. he owes them nothing. ]
Maybe it doesn't matter, but I do think it's fair to think about things you wouldn't let yourself think about before. Even if nothing comes from it. [ there's a pause as they look at the cupcake for lack of anything else to do. ] I left home for a while before, and when I finally went back it didn't feel the same. Everything felt different, because I was different, and I didn't know what to do with that. But I didn't have anywhere else to go either so I stayed for a while.
I think you guys should get to go back if that's actually what you want. But I also think you shouldn't sleep on the option to think about things. That's all.
... yeah, makes sense. When you have someone you're focused on, it feels weird to even think about other options if you can't bring them, too. Or help them and then decide. [ thinking on this. ]
