...I'm sorry. I know how tough that is, too.

[He nods, though, with a small smile.]

It'd be one thing if we were all a phone call or a letter away, right? Or if we could visit each other now and then. But that's...

[Not something he thinks can happen, for a variety of reasons.

[constellates]

[ . . . hmmm, she tilts her head]

... you do not think it possible?

[counterclocked]

[He hesitates before he gives a small shrug.]

Well, it might be for most people. It's just that the place I live kind of has... strict rules about outside communication, you could say.

[constellates]

[ . . . oh. she looks surprised at that - but extra disheartened]

.... they would know? Нездешний. If you tried to talk to people outside of your world?

[counterclocked]

[He takes in that look and immediately shakes his head, putting on a smile.]

Hey - it's okay. It just means that I had to make the most of getting to know everyone while I was here, and... I think I did.

[constellates]

[ . . . . hm.

she gives him a look at that before frowning.]

... if there is way to break rule without too much trouble - I hope you find it.

[anya isn't normally a rulebreaker but - knowing hunter is important enough that she'll insist upon wanting it.]

[counterclocked]

...Yeah. I'm sure I'll figure it out. Don't worry about it.

[haha nobody here is ever going to hear from him again

Either way, he's looking for a way to change the subject, so he tilts his head slightly as he glances towards her.]

You must be pretty excited to get back home, though.

[constellates]

[ . . . hmmmm, is she? she thinks about that for a moment.]

... Спокойнее. I think... it will be more easy, than this. Idol problems are small, after knowing what it is to lose my life.

[it... puts things in perspective, doesn't it?]

... I learned many things about what I still need to do better here, too.

[counterclocked]

[His expression twists in sympathy as she mentions losing her life, but...]

Yeah? Like, what kinds of things?

[constellates]

.... ways to talk to people, to help them, to pick trust better.

[that said anya is still like

incredibly trusting and that'll always be true, but now she will sideeye people like stefano? so there's that,]

I think... I learned what I am not good at here. Улучшение. So I have to get better.

[counterclocked]

[He's quiet for a moment, but:]

...Did something happen to you when you were over there?

[constellates]

[ . . . she shakes her head]

No... while I was still here. When I was over there - people were very nice.

But... made me look at things a new way.

[counterclocked]

Well - good. You deserve that.

[People being nice to her, that is. All the same...]

If one of the things you think you need to get better at is helping people, though... Just keep in mind that you helped me a lot.

[constellates]

... did I...?

[she looks a little uncertain - but if hunter's the one who said it....]

[counterclocked]

Yeah, of course. I didn't...

[Give up, no matter how difficult things became, and that's at least partly thanks to her, he thinks.]

I took your advice, that's all.

[constellates]

Advice... Ah - to not give up?

[ . . . well, that manages to get her to smile a bit more]

Хорошо. Good. I would be mad at you if you did not.

[counterclocked]

[A small laugh.]

You and a few other people. I owe you guys a lot.

[constellates]

[ . . . . actually.

she seems to think for a moment there - before smiling]

People like... 45?

[someone

let the cat out of the bag]

[counterclocked]

Wait, you—

[As he looks her way, there's surprise in his expression before he starts to go a little bit red in the face, so whatever she heard is Probably True. After a second:]

...Yeah. Her especially. [disgusting] How'd you find out? Not that I mind.

[constellates]

[she just looks

very delighted]

Beau - she told me who she has dokis for too. There is very much love in house....

Смотрим! I like it!

[counterclocked]

[There is a very long moment where he debates with himself about asking her not to call it that, but it's fine. Anya is valid in all things. Either way, he's looking very pink!!]

Y-Yeah, it's... She's amazing. I've been really lucky to be with somebody like her. [...] Did you manage to convince Beau to talk to Peach?

[constellates]

[people need to stop letting anya get away with things

that said she's just going to make a happy little noise as she notes hunter's blush:] You are so sweet to her... Счастливый. She is lucky to have you too.

[VERY IMPORTANT that she says that to hunter too]

Mm... I try - but I think right now is not good time. But Beau said at very end at least, there is chance. So we will have to make sure she does it then.

[time to INTERVENE]

[counterclocked]

I hope so, at least.

[Moving! On!]

Yeah. If we both tell her to, it'll be harder for her to say no, right?

[can't believe they're going to tag team for the sake of beau's love life]

[constellates]

[she nods, easily]

Да! She will not be able to. It is important, and good for her. If Beau likes someone, they would be lucky to know, too.

[though she seems to think of something that makes her hesitate - and laughs a little]

Ah, it will be fun.

[counterclocked]

[He notices that, and he tilts his head.]

What is it?
