Who: Edward, Wander, anyone
When: Day 40, early afternoon
Where: coming from the 4th floor
What: TRIUMPHANT RETURN

[Look who's back from their nature exploration! Aside from both obviously being worn out and the bandage on Wander's leg, he and Edward seem to otherwise be unharmed.]

[There is a lot of nature stuck to Wander's sword, which he is kind of looking at now.]

Wander: Well, um, that was a good hunt.

Edward: It's too bad we don't have anything to show for it.

I suppose problems are expected. Still, I always thought it would be kind of nice to live in a place like that.

It was a nice enough place. The part where I made my home was one of the more agricultural areas... mostly sheep, but other crops were raised there, too. Nice open plains, and a river running close to the house.

A river close to the house?!

I had to take my horse to get to the nearest river.

Just down at the base of the hill.

Jace really enjoyed it.

[I'm jelly.]

[Tilting his head to the side.]

Hm? A friend of yours?

You could say that. My partner.

O-oh...

[my heartstrings are being tugged -- SHOULD I NOT HAVE ASKED OH DEAR WHY DO I SAY THINGS]

Ah, my apologies.

It's all right, Wander. All my memories of him are good ones.

Would...you like to talk about him?

*are we back at the apartment? I think we are by now... motioning for you to sit while he gets supplies to clean your wound*

What would you like to know?

[Will sit down]

What was it like when you first met?

[Oh yaaay I love romantic thiiiiiings]

*gathering supplies~*

It was when I was in Sabra La Tau... I'd only been there about a week, maybe a little less than that, and there hadn't been any of the Judges' so-called Games yet during the time I was there, until that day. That first one I was called to... it was a mockery of a game at best, intended to force people into torturous situations. Something I wasn't ready for, and something I was left to try to understand by myself, with everyone else too shocked by what was going on to help the poor new kid. We weren't on the same team... we hadn't even met or seen each other before that day, but Jace still came over to talk to me and help me deal with watching people choose who to torture to avoid pain themselves.

[...was not expecting that start.]

Ah, that was...n-nice of him.

*w-well... murdercave. coming back over with the supplies*

It was. It wasn't until much later that I found out some members of my team had been in conflict with him in the past, it would have been easy enough for him to refuse to help their teammate. But he was kind and understanding each time I saw him, and unlike them, he never treated me like I was less just because I hadn't been there long. It really wasn't long before we were close friends.

He helped you despite being at odds with some of your teammates? That is...[SO ROMANTIC!!!11]

He sounds like a good person.

Was it difficult being friends when you were on separate teams?

He looked past teams and colors to the people, and chose to give me a chance.

It was hard sometimes. Not because we were on separate teams as much as because some of my teammates refused to resolve their problems with him, and because of that, didn't want me to have anything to do with him, either. Things escalated a couple of times, but he was my friend. I wasn't going to just abandon him.

Let me see your leg.

[showing him his leg. it's bleeding a bit through the bandage]

I am glad to hear you both stuck by one another regardless! I am sure it only strengthened your friendship.

*unwrapping the old bandage*

It did. We were extremely close, even before we began to realize our feelings for each other.

[all that blood! there's a gash but it's not too bad]

When did you two realize your feelings for one another? Ah, if you do not mind me asking!

[but I would really like to know because squeee romance]

*he's going to start cleaning it out with a damp washrag*

Not at the same time, exactly. To be honest... I was a little clueless about things like love. Maybe more than just a little. Jace had been in relationships before, he had a better idea of what it was like. He recognized his feelings for me long before I knew I had any for him at all.

[it hurts but fuck that he just wants to squee right now]

Wow. So, he held in his feelings that whole time?

*laughs, gently*

Ah... not exactly. He held them in for a while, yes, but if he'd waited for me to figure things out we'd probably still be waiting. Instead... he seized a moment.

[SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE]

Ah, that is very romantic!

*you are such an adorable puppy*

Ah, it was. Even though I wasn't completely sure what to think afterward. Other than that I really did like it when we kissed.

A first kiss between lovers is such a magical thing, is it not? It is as if the world just stops for that moment! Your hearts must have been soaring!

[or maybe I am just romanticizing it way too much which is entirely possible]
