XLIX

[wilder]

[Aw yes, it's time that awkward morning after of a mass castle loss]

[....]

Wow, that was sure...something.

Normally I'd start asking questions about Earth and what sick minds think up places like that, but you know what? Nah. This time I'm gonna spare you guys. Because sometimes ignorance is bliss!

So! How about instead we all agree never to talk about those three days again, hm? I won't even point out which ones of you aged terribly! Consider it a free pass from your benevolent and great Zelos Wilder!

How's that sound? ♥

[heal_theworld]

Still working on them? What makes you think that you'll give them to me?

[wilder]

Because I have confidence in my abilities, that's why!

[heal_theworld]

Confidence in your ability to cause trouble that will give me gray hairs?

[You may underestimate her a bit, Zelos.]

[wilder]

Aha, yep!

[heal_theworld]

Hm. They do or say you did something that will give me gray hairs. [It's a challenge, Zelos. She knows how bored you get, and she's feeling rather bored and reckless too right now.]

[wilder]

Turns out Once-ler likes whips and chains.

[heal_theworld]

[Good thing he can't see her blush a bit when he says that.]

...Did he seriously say that?

[wilder]

He mentioned having a collection!

[heal_theworld]

[She snorts, because that is just too ridiculous to believe.] Once-ler? I doubt it. He got flustered after we kissed during Christmas because of the nutcrackers.

[wilder]

Huh. Maybe he's the non-kissing type....

[heal_theworld]

Maybe. Or maybe he just has no experience whatsoever and just said it because it seemed like a good idea at the time. [Which also happens because....

Once-ler.]

[wilder]

Hmmm...

Nah!

[heal_theworld]

[A laugh at that.] Or is it more fun to pretend he was serious?

[wilder]

Who knows? It's a mystery!

[heal_theworld]

We may never know.

So what were you doing these past three days?

[wilder]

[he is drawing an arrow up to the entry and tapping on the NOT TALKING ABOUT IT part]

[heal_theworld]

...Fair enough. [She has an idea, but doesn't want to say anything.]

[wilder]

[he meanwhile is torn. On one hand, she is possibly the one older angel that he wouldn't label as a "douchebag". On the other hand...she might not know, and it might cause to only fuel more guilt. Which really doesn't want that]

Hey! You free this week?

[heal_theworld]

I'm free most every week, Zelos. [Not much to do here except work in the clinic.] Why do you ask?

[wilder]

Hey you never know!

Then let's go somewhere!

[heal_theworld]

[Another trip like when they went to Wanderer's Yard? Oh, why not.] And where are we going this time, Zelos?

[wilder]

Hmm...well it's probably pretty hard to travel through the snow to the Dead Zone- so how about Mineas Well!

[heal_theworld]

Sounds good! When are we leaving?

[wilder]

How about day after tomorrow? I promised Arya I'd take her to that beach room tomorrow.

[heal_theworld]

All right then, it's settled. Day after tomorrow, we'll take a trip to Mineas Well.
