You can feel the grass, too.

[ jokingly, as he offers him a strawberry: ] It's been raining so much lately I almost swore I forgot what the stars look like.

Re: 250 - evening / night

[heartlands]

Why, thank you.

[takes the strawberry with a little laugh]

I've actually never asked - are you a big outdoors person?

Re: 250 - evening / night

[restitui]

[ grins and shifts a little to lay back on the blanket. ]

Yes and no? Taking walks with Speedy was always one of the favorite parts of my day. And I really like looking at the sky, but I'm not a fan of the ocean. [ which.... funny now. ] It's one of those things you don't realize how much you'd miss until it's gone?

What about you?

Re: 250 - evening / night

[heartlands]

[puts a hand to his mouth for a moment]

Ohhhhh you don't like the ocean...

Re: 250 - evening / night

[restitui]

[ laughs a little ]

I'd be surprised if many amnesiacs did?

Like, I like looking at it and I don't mind going but it definitely unsettles me a little.

Re: 250 - evening / night

[heartlands]

Do you...

—Nope, we decided no big feelings. Want a pear?

Re: 250 - evening / night

[restitui]

Sure.

[ he'll take the pear amused, not particularly bothered. ]

How about we make a game of this? Someone gets to ask whatever question they want - any question - and the other person has to answer. If they decide it's too embarrassing to answer or they do not want to for non-caveat reasons they incur a penalty.

Caveat reasons being that it'd cause too many bad big feelings? And they just say pass, but no cheating.

Re: 250 - evening / night

[heartlands]

[tilts his head]

You're on. Got any ideas for the penalty?

Re: 250 - evening / night

[restitui]

- I think you can guess.

Re: 250 - evening / night

[heartlands]

You should say it anyways.

Re: 250 - evening / night

[restitui]

Every penalty incurs one nice thing being said about you, no interruptions or denials allowed.

Unless you have a better one?

Re: 250 - evening / night

[heartlands]

Acceptable.

You wanna go first?

Re: 250 - evening / night

[restitui]

Sure.

My question is please finish the question from before? I'm pretty sure it's not as big feels as you think.

Re: 250 - evening / night

[heartlands]

Oh. Um, it was literally just going to be "do you want to talk about it".

Re: 250 - evening / night

[restitui]

Oh.

There's nothing to talk about. Which isn't avoiding the question - more of I can't change what happened? I write stuff done so I won't forget and I try to make the most of every moment I have to make up for it.

- do you want me to take a do over?

Re: 250 - evening / night

[heartlands]

Nah. No do over needed.

[another hand squeeze]

Re: 250 - evening / night

[restitui]

Okay, good.

[ sits back up to grab a piece of good and nudge him ]

Then that makes it your turn.

Re: 250 - evening / night

[heartlands]

—Does it? I asked you a question last.

Re: 250 - evening / night

[restitui]

Technically your question came from me asking to hear the question, in my ploy to get it out of you.

[ teasingly but he doesn't linger ]

Okay, then, what's your favorite present you've ever gotten?

Re: 250 - evening / night

[heartlands]

[snorts]

That's an easy one. The bracelet you gave me.

Re: 250 - evening / night

[restitui]

[ blinks ]

Really?

Re: 250 - evening / night

[heartlands]

Is it surprising?

Re: 250 - evening / night

[restitui]

A little.

[ delicately decides not to ask further - ]

But it's nice to know it's that important to you.

Re: 250 - evening / night

[heartlands]

It's nice to know what you're thinking. I mean - not that I think you're dishonest about that or anything, but you get it.

Re: 250 - evening / night

[restitui]

[ ducks his head sheepishly a bit squeezing his hand! ]

You'll have to tell me if I'm ever too loud or something, then.



That also makes it your turn.
