Secret side of the Church? You make sound like I'm part of the Illuminati. I mean, I know they had a hand in this body of mine, and wanted me to keep it secret, so....
[He turns his head, but since he's blind he just looks somewhere over her shoulder.]
Maybe...I mean, even when you tell me, I just...can't see it. [A beat.] Ha, literally in my case.
The hidden weaponry definitely gives you the edge, I'd say.
[ ... ]
I still don't like losing memories, obviously. It scares me. But a few people pointed out that if you share memories with other people, they won't forget them even if you do. [ she shrugs, even though he can't see it. ]
You didn't tell me everything about what you do, but I'll remember what you did.
[He says, after a long moment. He tries to imagine what her face might be showing, now.]
[It's not that he doesn't expect kindness, or doesn't think he deserves it, but she's provided so much. He doesn't know if he's provided half of that.]
I'll remember everything you told me, too. You deserve that.

[ she lifts her head up, and shifts enough that she's sat so she's looking at him, rather than just sat next him. ]
... If it is something the Realm's taken, remembering it won't be as easy as me just telling you though.

[ semi-automatically she reaches up and gently tilts his head with her hand, so he's actually looking at her and not somewhere over her shoulder. ]
Funny. [ it's not. ] I think this is just how it works. It'd be too easy if we could just tell each other what we lost.
no subject
[He makes as if to speak more, but he stills at her turning his head, his expression softening.]
...You're right. Its hard on purpose. [And a beat.] I...really appreciate that you try, though.

[ hm. ] I'm not as kind as everyone seems to think, you know. I think I'm a pretty selfish person.
[ besides, it's fair. maybe he doesn't think he's done a lot for her in return, but he has. ]
no subject
[A light movement of his shoulders, up and down.]
It's true.
no subject
It's not always altruistic. Which is... well, the selfish part.
[ she sighs. ]
But there's no point in kicking each other while we're all down, either way.
no subject
[Maybe last week he would've said something about the generosity of Jesus or something but...of course, he says nothing else here. He just smiles.]
I'm happy when you are. That isn't kicking each other down.

[ get a grip, alex. ] Alright.

[He has no idea what is happening right now! He just smiles.]

she just prods him in the side. ]
no subject
[He kind of draws his hand back to bat at it?]
Hey, what did I do?
no subject
Nothing.
[ this explains nothing at all. but is a very mature response.
still. she waves a hand in front of his eyes again. ]
There'll be no terrorising leopards this week then, I take it. If this doesn't go away.
no subject
I know. Isn't that sad? Its like they want to take all the fun out of this for me.
no subject
You've fought a bear and a crocodile.
[ deadpan. ]

[hansa, totally: the local fauna SUCKS]
no subject
[ he's just doing due duty, beating up the local wildlife. probably. ]
no subject
[Look at this smug smirk.]
no subject
There's going to be no wildlife left. [ sir you have a chainsaw leg. ]
no subject
Why are you making it sound like I'll fight the entire zoo? I'm not that fight happy.
no subject
[ she will. prod him again. it's fine? ]
no subject
[A beat. He's just going to reach forward and end up poking her in the shoulder.]
But also.....it was really fun, honestly.
no subject
...
Yeah it was pretty obvious. [ emotions week. ]
