reach out?

the smell of fresh water in dry desert air. the feeling of cautious curiosity. a place as dangerous as it is resplendent.

Does she? [ the murmur itself seems to somehow brighten a little. because it makes her happy, to think of doing something Sharon enjoys. what an odd feeling...

there's the impression of a smile, then. ]

That sounds fun. [ strange. so strange, doing something like this for its own sake, without a purpose or expected profit. everything about this idea makes her feel slightly off balance because it's all so alien to her—but not in a bad way.

it would be nice, perhaps. to learn. what it's like to do something so simple as have fun with a friend. ]

Then I'll see what I can do. These are all wonderful ideas, Kalmiya. Thank you.

[The warmth that exudes from Lortel lands bittersweet upon Kalmiya's mask. So familiar, too familiar. It wasn't that long ago that Kalmiya was feeling a similar joy for the first time.

She doesn't really know what to do with the fact that she's the more worldly one in many of her relationships here.]

Of course! I'm glad I could be of some assistance.

[Then, with a bubble of fond impulse:] Let me know if you ever need anything else. And you're welcome to come visit me if you'd like to have another sleepover!

[ she wants to ask—xx—but doesn't want to cheapen the offer by questioning it. instead a wholly different smile wobbles onto her face, and the murmur hums soft and content with her gratitude. ]

I'd really like that, Kalmiya. Anytime.
