Cobalt's Heart - session 2

[we_meet_again]

I carry you with me across these
barren lands, stretched dry and dark between
regions of kindness.

Generous with your warmth,
you have shown me
a path to guide my heavy legs and stumbling heart.

Generous with your patience,
you have shown me
how lucky I was to have something worth mourning.

[He nods before going over to the lantern display and humming thoughtfully to himself.

Before he picks up the lantern that he gifted Cobalt.]

Me?




Never.

[The six lanterns in this windchime sway merrily on their wires, shining cheerfully. Their light is warm and bright and comforting, like it's made of pure joy, or gratitude, or maybe even something that feels like belonging.]

[Turning back to Cobalt]

Can you spare me one more personal item that reminds you of idol hell?

. . .

Something good about it.

[He clarifies.]

Re: Welcome

[we_meet_again]

[He thinks about this for a moment, then holds out his hands. There's a flash of light and a box drops into his palms.]

How about this?

[He opens the lid to show Intensity. The box contains a tidy stack of several hundred photos.]

It's a copy of every photo on the wall over there. It represents all of my fondest memories.

Will this work?

Re: Welcome

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes.

[As he moves to take the box.]

That will do very nicely.

Re: Welcome

[we_meet_again]

[Spoken like a true cartoon villain.

You get a box of photos!]

Anything else?

Re: Welcome

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. Keep dinner warm for me.

It's been a long time since I had your mother's cooking.

[And he's just going to turn around and head back outside.]

[Gives him a little wave]
