[She will attach a selfie, for honesty's sake, and also to show off, let's be real.]

[Anyone coming to visit Lup will find the magical pocket-di-mansion set up much the same as it was few months prior, though the basement will come with some tweaks at Era's request. It's time for NERD BRUNCH!]

Comments

[iustaegis]

[ She can't help but giggle at Lup's candid answer, and she nods at Honerva. Sure, sure, she'll braid her hair. Come closer! ]

It's been a while, hasn't it, since I've visited... [ Perhaps only by a month or so. ]

It's always so home in this, ah, pocket dimension of yours...!

[shroudedsecrets]

[ Honerva obliges, shifting closer. ]

Has it been so long?

[ Time is fake. Then again, the most recently she had seen Pyra was since their shared memory incident... and they'd taken a much longer break from their projects. ]

[necromanswers]

We could probably make it a more regular occurrence, but I'm lousy at sticking to a schedule. Haven't managed it since uni.

[And that was over a hundred years ago, so good luck trying to manage it now.]

Still, you're welcome to come by whenever you like.

[iustaegis]

[ She begins braiding Honerva's hair, looking down towards Honerva, then to Lup. ]

I think I'll take that offer. I've missed the both of you!

[shroudedsecrets]

It is nice to simply spend the time, without having it obligated toward our projects or other related... issues.

[ Like dealing with aftermaths or focusing on flowers. ]

We don't hear so much about how else you spend your time.

[necromanswers]

Well, besides that one thing.

[Lup waggles her eyebrows. She hasn't heard otherwise, so she's just gonna assume Pyra's still as hopelessly smitten as before.]

[iustaegis]

[ Issues is one thing, but Lup's eyebrow waggle earns her a small giggle as she threads her fingers through Honerva's hair, parting it into three sections. ]

O-oh.... Me? I've just been a little busy, that's all. [ Some minor projects, here and there. ] And that thing isn't a thing, he's a person! Noctis! [ Yup, still hopeless and helpless over here. ]

[shroudedsecrets]

[ The most they'd talked about her relationship was Pyra questioning Honerva's own limited knowledge of him. ]

Noctis must keep you very busy then.

[necromanswers]

I'll bet he does.

[Lup does not even try or pretend to keep a straight face there.

Wait. Hang on. She smacks her hands down on the couch, abruptly sitting up.]

Hey, for real, what the fuck is it with the Lucians!?

[iustaegis]

[ Eyeing her... ]

Erm, what?

[shroudedsecrets]

... I think she means to say there is a certain way about most of them, that... draws attention.

[ Which isn't really it either but do you really expect Honerva to know how to explain that Lucians are humans that just seem to inexplicably have an it factor? ]

[necromanswers]

What she means to say is that they're hot and DTF more often than not and I wanna know what's up.

[SAY IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT]

It's unfair! Too many good genes!

[iustaegis]

[ While she cannot read Honerva's expression as she braids her hair, she does find her comment about them curious. Lup all but confirms it with an obvious they're hot.

O...Ohhhhhh. ]

Soooooo, Lup. Honerva.

Which ones have caught your eyes?

[ If they say Noctis or Somnus, so help her Architect-- ]

[shroudedsecrets]

[ She is graciously allowing Lup to fend that one first, seeing as she opened the door to this in the first place.

At least, while Pyra cannot see her face, her ears do move in a slight flustered way. This sure is a topic all right. ]

[necromanswers]

Mm... odds are good I'm gonna bone down with Nyx later. [You've probably never met him for some inexplicable reason hahaha-] I wouldn't call that a proper romance, though, just a roll in the sack. Unlike some people.

[Key word people. She sure does see that little blush, Honerva, which is why the other name that she could mention isn't spoken aloud.]

[iustaegis]

[ WHO... IS NYX...?? Oh well, there are more important things to think and chat about, like how Lup has a lover and how Honerva’s lowered ears seems almost bashful.

She leans forward, tapping the top of Honerva’s head. ]

Wellll?

[shroudedsecrets]

[ Oh is she supposed to give a real answer, that isn't fair. ]

... It's... not so serious as all that. [ She says, very carefully, as though her expressions and her ears had not given her away. ] But Ardyn and I have considered spending more time together.

[necromanswers]

She's being modest. He totally wants to date her.

[CASUAL AS ANYTHING]

[iustaegis]

[ Ardyn and Honerva.

Ardyn and Honerva?!

That earns a surprised and delighted yelp from Pyra, sorry to both of you long-eared folk. ]

What-- oh, what?! That's.... Honerva, I had no idea. You and him.. [ And she looks to Lup for a moment. "He totally wants to date her". Um, excuse, how long has this been known and Pyra didn't know?? Guuurl!!

No matter, she knows now! And she couldn't be happier for them. Pyra abandons braiding Honerva's hair to hug her from behind. ]

Congratulations. Oh, this is wonderful. Oh, that's so-- you two will be great for each other.

[ >This. This is why she's not told about others' relationships. ] I'm so happy for you.

[shroudedsecrets]

... He what?

[ Honerva was also looking at Lup, while being suddenly surprised by Pyra's hug, though in a way not surprised that Pyra would react in this way, but this is sort of news to her as well. Her ears give a bit of a wobble in protest at the idea. ]

We haven't even -- discussed such a thing. Formally. Only a possibility of spending some time together, in more favorable conditions. If you call it that, you might...

[ Scare him off? Maybe? Scare her? Or perhaps that's why she's so flustered and skittish now. ]

[necromanswers]

Oh, my bad then. Must have misunderstood the burning tension in the air going on lately.

[She's not gonna call it sexual tension, because. Well. Because. Mostly she's curious about Honerva's opinion on the matter, especially after everything that went sour with Cor.

Gods, seriously. Stupid Lucians.]

[iustaegis]

[ Pyra continues to be a nuisance: ]

Did— have you two kissed yet?!

[shroudedsecrets]

That's --

[ What is this, both of them. Though she understands it's probably better if she organizes her thoughts somewhere instead of letting the uncertainty of it fester. Her ears remain a bit fluttered, caught between emotions. ]

N-- no... we have not. These circumstances are more... natural for us, I think.

[ As opposed to having all the worry about being misled due to something like an inappropriate influence of wine and having that build up to a tangle, so it helps, to have that sort of distinction, despite the wounds left behind by it. Being put on the spot for it all is something else entirely. ]

We are both... fond of our mutual company. We've taken walks a few times, holding hands, mostly. A little... closer, than that, during some difficult moments. We are similar enough that I need not fear some things, but I wonder that calling it something... more... might burden him with feeling he needs to meet some expectation, and perhaps... the same for myself as well.

[necromanswers]

[Lup can't help it, she laughs. It's too much. Honestly, what a delightful chance to get someone flustered.

She'll be merciful though. As with all things, Honerva is bound to be slow, and best not to scare her out of anything through perceived mockery.]

Alright, alright. Sometimes you have to let the ancients move at an ancient pace. What matters is that they seem to be sorting it out, yeah?

[iustaegis]

[ She can’t help her grin from knowing that those she cares about are finding good company in each other. Others potentially falling in love is wonderful. Perhaps Honerva isn’t there yet, and that’s perfectly fine.

She’ll still be excited for her, though. ]

Oh— oh.... Yes! Taking your time, that’s important. [ Especially if there might be some hang up about burdens and whatnot, when relationships shouldn’t be at all about burdens. Sometimes it may be necessary to risk a glacial pace against either of them returning to their worlds. ]

I’m happy for you, Honerva. I hope that your experience will be wonderful, wherever it might lead.
