RR: Yes, thank you again.
II: *to Marilyn* Tell you what, next time I need to get away from my world for a bit, I'll come by here and we can keep chatting.

M: "guh! I like that idea! sounds nice."
V: "tee-hee. Its always nice to have company."
|/=^] "Farewell!"

*both get up to leave, saying goodbye*

M: "Bye!"
V: "Goodbye!"
|/=^] *time to return...*

II: *passes around the gold chain, a little happy to show off to Marilyn* Back to when I picked you up, right?
RR: *takes the chain* Right.

M: "ooh, the chain grows!"
V: *'Viv' just gives a big smile*

0u0 maybe we should read a book together. or play outside... I guess we'll have to see what to do once they come back. ^u^

*and...back*
RR: *feels a surge of something between joy and relief to be back here... This place, where the people she cares about are, has become home* We're back...
II: *checking the hourglass as she reins in the chain again* And just a couple seconds after we left. Just enough time to let our past selves clear out.

[:]? Will they really just, be right back, but have been away for a while?
@) *still petting Baby, who is content with the attention*

|/=^] "Thankyou for having helped us take care of this. If there is anything I could do to try and repay you, please ask." |/=@] *turns, getting out of the chain, and starting to head in real quick*

= = yep. thats exactly how it should work. =

II: I'll think about it.
RR: I should get going. *goes to follow the darkmatter*
II: Okay... Don't be a stranger, alright?
RR: Alright.

*inside the tunnel, as the Sylph of Time leaves outside*
It's just occurred to me, this is going to be like a bad case of jet lag... Here we just had breakfast, but I feel like I skipped lunch. *rubs her eyes* and I'm not sure that little nap did anything but make me tired.

[:]) Okay. *they trust that it'll work out*
@) @? *looks up to investigate the sewing*

|/=@] "ah... well I hope that you can recover soon. eat something, take a proper nap... whatever you might need to be doing your best." |/^=] ...

7BO ! "SqueouH!"
=[|:|33] HellO!

Yes, and they're good changes.
[:]? @? ! *they...really don't know what to make of this*
@? daddy...?

|/=^] "Hello Hamnet and Factor." |/=@] "I might look different, but it is still me, and I still have your best interests at heart." *they calm some, not coming closer in case they were making the two of them uncomfortable*
0u0 well, nothing to be worried about then. its all ok. ^u^ *is trying to be supportive of the darkmatters personal choice to change, so that Hamnet and Factor can accept it easier to*
= I think it looks great. Purple is a nice color. =
][:] ... *unsure what to add to this, Mack continues handling the pillow making*
7BD "do yu know any cool new tricks?" 7BD
=[|:|oo] =[|:|DD]

[:]? @? *they're really starting to get an impression of the world as a place where people can suddenly and drastically change what they look and sound like...* *they set Baby back in their pen and get up, approaching the darkmatter cautiously, curiously*
*Sophie gives them an encouraging smile*

|/=^] *they carefully reach out a hand for them to hold*
0u0 *carefully awaits their reaction, confident that its going to be a good one* ^u^
= =
7B? *is feeling refuted in his wish to see something cool*
=[|:|33] *starts floating closer as well, wanting a better look*
][:] *nervously stuffs the pillow*

[:]? *takes the hand* [:]) [:]D Hehe! *they like that they can hold hands with them now!*
*Sophie's smile widens at that reaction*
@) daddyhashandsnow... @? youtalkslowerlikeeveryoneelsenowtoo?

|/=^] "yes, the trip changed my way of talking. the fasttalk is now something more special and unique about you Factor." |/=^] "I'm glad to see that the two of you seem happy with this." |/=@] |/=^] "though it is probably a little to soon after we all had celebrated Ribbon's healing for another celebration."
0u0 nonsense. if there is anything special you want us to do, then we can go do it. ^u^
= Yea! Its been joyous times all around! =

[:]) [:]D Cake again?
It's always nice to do special things together... Onponn, could I have a sandwich or something? I know it was just breakfasttime here, but the trip put me a bit off-schedule.

=:o ! = certainly!
7BD "can I hava sandwich to?" 7B3
= ... = alright. any preferred kind? = =
|/=^] "Maybe not cake. Cake is only a sometimes food. maybe... maybe something slightly spicy." |/=^] ... |/=@] ... *they've realized that eating is now a thing. and, in having absolutely no taste profile before, its likely to be about the same as Viv's was*
0u0 And, we still have the dough from the mana-flakes to bake. that should be cake enough. 0u0
][:] ... *annnd...* ][(] your pillow is done Nyx. ][:]
