[pencilpremonition]

You're gay??

[She's shocked, and a little judgemental, but not enough to rescind her offers of aid to him. Please give her a lesson in tolerance, her mun is ashamed of her behaviour.]

[nometal_alchemist]

I suppose you could say that. I never really found any other men besides Jace all that attractive, or any other women, either. It didn't really matter what labels other people used to me, though, it was only important that we loved each other. And we did.

[pencilpremonition]

That's so weird... I never knew anybody that was gay back home.

[nometal_alchemist]

We weren't exactly any sort of majority in my world. It took people some time to get used to the idea, there.

[pencilpremonition]

But you're so...normal. You don't act gay at all.

[nometal_alchemist]

I've never been sure what people expect by that. I'm just myself, that's all.

[pencilpremonition]

Still, it's weird.

I mean, you can still stay with us. I help everybody. It's just...weird.

[nometal_alchemist]

Do you really think it's that weird to be in love?

[pencilpremonition]

But...you're both guys.

[nometal_alchemist]

Why should that matter? Shouldn't love be what's important?

[pencilpremonition]

I...guess? But it's weird.

[nometal_alchemist]

There were people in my world who felt the same, when they first found out. It's been a while, but it's a completely unfamiliar feeling to me. It wasn't anything we ever let get in the way of our lives.

[pencilpremonition]

I guess...

[nometal_alchemist]

It's nothing you'll need to concern yourself with, anyway. He's... not here.

[pencilpremonition]

Yeah...I'm sorry you're alone.

[nometal_alchemist]

Not completely alone, and neither is he... but that's why I can't just accept that there's no way at all out of here. I want to be able to see him again, somehow. Him, and the rest of my family.

[pencilpremonition]

[Becca winces. She's clearly uncomfortable by the idea of finding a way out. She loves her brother so dearly, she lived her whole life for him, but she lived her life for him with the understanding that she'd die at fifteen (yes she turned sixteen while in Thusia), that she didn't have to take care of him any more after that and she'd be able to rest in her grave. When the rest hadn't been forthcoming and she'd found herself in Thusia, she'd accepted it, working on making a home here. Now she loves Kidale, and she has friends here. Would she want everyone to leave and go back home and leave her alone here? But could she stop them if they wanted to go? And if they all went, would she return home, too? Could she face going back to that abuse after having known the warmth of friendship and love that she'd found here? .....She's crying now just thinking about it.]

We can't go home!

[nometal_alchemist]

*he reaches out, placing a hand on her shoulder, a quiet, grandfatherly motion*

Perhaps not. For all the times I've died, I understand that this is the last one. But if there's a way forward, to see them all again, that's all I need.

[pencilpremonition]

[She flinches at the touch, trying hard not to freak out. Still, she starts trembling. Her shoulders are a trauma spot.]

I...I...I'd give anything to see my brother again... But I'd rather stay here... I want to stay here, it's better than where I came from...

[nometal_alchemist]

I'm sure there'll be an even better place on the other side of this. One where you can see your brother again, without any of the difficulties anymore.

[pencilpremonition]

I want to stay with Kidale and Muppet and Shadow and Karl, though... I haven't had friends since I was seven years old and my best friend died. This place doesn't have difficulties. This place is perfect. I want to stay here.

[nometal_alchemist]

Whatever place is waiting on the other side, it'll be just as perfect as this one, if not even better, don't worry.

[pencilpremonition]

Will Dellen and Kalidas be there? And Leedin?

[nometal_alchemist]

If we can break everyone free, I don't see why they wouldn't be.

[pencilpremonition]

They're gods here.
