[Whatever locks the Geardorm has on its main doors have now been very securely locked. And then re-locked, just to be sure.

A cranky tiny is scrutinizing them as if he's seriously considering adding more.]

. . . is it?

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

I don't think so. That's the kind of thing . . . it's better if someone else is around, isn't it?

At least . . . it's always been that way for me.

[wanderingsword.insanejournal.com]

Ah . . . yes, it is easier, sometimes. Or it was, back when . . . [vague gesture]

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Then it's fine.

How many?

[wanderingsword.insanejournal.com]

Four.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Poofy must be good luck!

[wanderingsword.insanejournal.com]

I would not say that.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Times before . . . Pavo would go twice as long with only winning half as many.

[Lets go, finally, not so much moving away as just relaxing beside him.]

When you're ready to remember your first, I'll be here.

. . . Feathers needn't trouble herself, really . . .

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Feathers will trouble herself all she wants to.

[wanderingsword.insanejournal.com]

[tiny huff]

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Poofy would do the same.

[Turns to lean her back against him, picking up the cloth he brought and wiping off her hands.]

[wanderingsword.insanejournal.com]

Mmm, but it is a bit different.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

It is. My memories . . . sometimes they seem really simple, compared to everyone's here.

[wanderingsword.insanejournal.com]

I am glad for that.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

You made a future where people like me could have lives like that.

[wanderingsword.insanejournal.com]

Ahhh . . . Feathers is giving me far too much credit.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

It's something I think, when I think about your memories. The things that shape the future . . . they're made by everyone in the present, and the past. But even when there's times you can't say one person made things the way they are, you can't say that things would have been just the same without them, either.

[wanderingsword.insanejournal.com]

Had I not done what I did, another would have. My actions are not that significant.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

But it wasn't someone else. It was you.

[wanderingsword.insanejournal.com]

Still.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

And it's really hard to change people's minds when they blame you for good things happening.

And I think I'm more stubborn than Poofy, too.

[wanderingsword.insanejournal.com]

I have done nothing to deserve such blame, good or not.

And I am far more stubborn than Feathers, as well.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Still not changing!

[wanderingsword.insanejournal.com]

Nor am I.

[some obvious hesitation, but his expression doesn't change] But our team is on such a streak, and this one should perhaps take a few of his memories so he does not end up with more than he can handle.
