A while, then. Or when you were very young-- I had one when I was a very young boy. [But then when he was old enough to talk and toddle around on his feet or his lion paws not so many stuffed toys.]
[Elza starts to laugh--] That's right. I used to take it with me everywhere.
Children like to be in their animal forms more, so it was tattered by the time I was a bit older. [Because lion cub Elza was always taking it around everywhere in his mouth... sharp little lion teeth...]
[He moves to drop his hand, taking one of hers and giving it a gentle squeeze. He's always known they'll go back to Weblin, that there's still things left to do there.]
Aa. [...] It's painful to think about, isn't it?
[He does think her going to her world, going back to her friends, is the best thing, so why is there this conflicted feeling? Is this what Mary's feeling?] But... There's a chance that that wouldn't have to be the case either, isn't there? [And maybe that's why he says that--even though he thinks the possibility is real as well.]
I'm not ready to say goodbye to you or see you say goodbye to your friends here yet. If they're able to... [that whole complicated stuff] do what they do to bring us here, surely there must be some way to travel between places.
[At the very least, he wouldn't be quick to give any chance up, for her sake.]

I wouldn't mind, b-but I said it because I don't want you to feel like you can't!
action;
Date: 2015-03-09 03:42 pm (UTC)I know. I was just teasing you.
But, I suppose I do feel that way; it was how I grew up. And, of course, what I'll eventually go back to when we find our ways home...
action;
Date: 2015-03-09 03:44 pm (UTC)[ Going home... she does miss it, of course, and she misses all of her friends, but when that happens...
She's quiet for a long moment, staring down at her hands as she lowers them. ]
Maybe it could change...

Date: 2015-03-09 03:50 pm (UTC)[But he trails off, watching the way that she looks at her hands.
He reaches over to her, setting his hand lightly on her shoulder.] Mary? [His expression is a apologetic. Is it because he mentioned going back?]
action;
Date: 2015-03-09 03:57 pm (UTC)... Sorry. I know it would be a good thing to go home... I just sort of forgot that when that happens, we won't see each other anymore.
