Any particular reason? [Though She cab only think of one ]

[devoutish]

Royce's lifespan is longer.

[A lot of things come back to Royce.]

[furgood]

[As she thought] That much longer?

[devoutish]

Yeah. He doesn't know the numbers, but it'll be much longer than my normal lifespan.

[furgood]

Trying to outlive me? [She teases ]

[devoutish]

Ah, don't tease me.

[He grins, leaning in to kiss her forehead.]

[furgood]

Stop making it so easy. [Hum ] I think you should do what makes you happy

[devoutish]

It does, you know. It's a bit of a surprise to me, but it does.

[furgood]

Good. Is that why you feel so weird about your future?

[devoutish]

No - not quite, no. This is one thing I'm feeling sure about. No, the uncertainty comes from living here, in the Meadous. Not going home for good.

[furgood]

Oh. That. [She takes a bite ] ...I... well I gave myself permission because it seems like no one actually misses someone. People here from my world ate taken from before or after me in the course of the war. None of us noticed there. So my sister doesn't really miss me, I'm always there. Or something. I don't know how it works really but it makes me feel better.

[devoutish]

But you must miss your sister, yeah?

[furgood]

Of course I do. I just...[She looks uncertain ] I miss her. But I get to be myself in a way I'll never get to be at home. I get to...I don't know. Heal. I hope she would want that.
