'Cause sometimes we don't really notice just how good it can get
so maybe we should start all over

She thinks that maybe it shouldn't be this easy - regression to the mean, the return of connection and closeness. Had wounded feelings and held grudges been the only barriers to this all this time? She hopes it isn't something more sinister; intentional ignorance of glaring flaws so that they might pretend they don't exist. Except it doesn't feel like that. It just feels...well. It feels like coming home. And Ru doesn't know how to cope with that.
All she can truly do is tell herself she'll examine it later, unwilling to taint the warmth of emotion flowing quietly through the bond with the weight of her introspection. "It's not as cold anymore. After the war forests and fields were discovered and Eirachi's hold is slowly diminishing." The region would always be cold, but now it was not a death sentence the moment you stepped out of the Citadel's walls. "I'd love to go to Frey's Breath though. The Halo springs are so busy sometimes since they're still so new." She'd like another moment to be alone with him just as they are now.
Having just finished her plate, the fork clatters a little loudly from where she had been putting it down as it slips from her grip, floored by the offer. Hotaru knows how important that nickname is, how beloved each person he'd allowed to use it had been. They may be gone, but surely she cannot measure up to their level of trust? "Are you sure?" Voice gone tentative and raw, needing his utter sincerity even when she is more than aware that he wouldn't offer it lightly.
