Hello

was the petting zoo thing like an open offer

Oh Yes, of course You can come over now, if you need

cool

be there in a couple of mins

Okay

[he'll be waiting outside Holy Order's door, just leaning on the wall]

[ aster looks a little different

he waves when he comes in sight, faint scars crisscrossing his skin, and a lock of his hair gone gray. he looks tired, too, if shura's looking ]

Hey.

[hm]

I'd ask if everything's okay, but...

Think you can get a visions hangover?

Yes, definitely.

Did you do too many in a row?

[opens the door to let him in]

[ following him in ]

Depends. Would you call five too many?

[a whistle like "whew"]

Even three can be a lot, depending on the contents. Though I tend to take mine as soon as I get them.

[the Holy Order common room is actually pretty standard, does not seem to have undergone any particular customization, except for one extra door, which is where Shura is leading them now]

[ looks around a bit as he continues to follow, heading for the door ]

Uh, yeah, I took a break on them. Mostly to keep someone I care about company. And then when I did want to look again, I had seven, and...

[ wobbles hands. somehow straightshotting five still seemed like a good idea ]

Keep someone company...?

[spoilers, the door is a sliding-style barn door which Shura opens.

as for the inside of the room, well.]

Yeah, he wanted to stop looking at his, but was feeling a little weird about doing it alone you know?

[ and

smiles when he sees the inside of the room

goes to sprawl on the ground and nearly instantly has some baby goats chewing on his hair ]

Okay, this is cool.

[looks a little like he wants to say something to that first part but...]

[nahhh, just laughing at the attack of the baby goats.

he joins him on the ground, though just sitting down]

I should bring people here more often.

You totally should? This place is great.

[ as a puppy crawls into his lap ]

I think I'm more likely to be healed by other people's reactions than the animals themselves.

[ oh, so his devious plan IS working ]

That seems like even more reason to invite people more often.

It's true.

[he picks up a bunny and puts it on his lap to scritch]

Would talking about those memories help, or are you looking to do the opposite?

...how many was it before they started feeling like memories? For you.

... The third one was the first that really felt like something that belonged to me, or that had happened to me. But I wasn't really sure.

From the fourth on, I only grew more and more convinced.

Yeah, that sounds about right. But it wasn't until these last few that I seriously started to think...you know, maybe for real.

Because of what you saw, or...?

Partly. And partly because they felt more...real?
