You made yourself a bed
At the bottom of the blackest hole

Alys laughed at Tal's stuck-out tongue, settling comfortably in her chair as she sipped her wine. There was a pleasant buzz in the back of her mind that was beginning to make the conversation easier. Maybe that was why she said, "You've got one up on me. I've never had sex, so..." And she shrugged, taking another sip of wine. She'd also never particularly cared to. "But, yeah, romance does seem like it would be more challenging. More vulnerable." What had she told Ru before? Love is hard. Letting people in is hard... But you need to open yourself up. Feel your emotions. It's the only way to know that you're alive.
"It makes sense," she assured her friend softly. "I'm sorry if you've been lonely. I know it's not the same, but I'm always around if you... I dunno. If you want to not think about love for a while." Did that make sense? She wasn't really sure, but she figured that if anyone would understand, it would be Tal.
As for Ru, Alys shrugged noncommittally. She hadn't ever known Sunjata, nor had she known Hotaru during their relationship before. She hadn't seen the aftermath of their previous pairing. What she did know was that people changed, and sometimes, that could bring people back together in mysterious ways. Alys laughed. "The cards know way more than me, that's for sure." She raised her glass in a silent toast before going to take a sip - and realizing it was empty. She reached for the bottle to pour another. "But don't tell anybody, or no one will ever trust my love readings again."
