[maddest]

I'm setting up communal clotheslines here, for anyone whose bedding is waterlogged. Bring as much strong wire or string as you can if you can find it.

We work best when we aid one another.

I'm teasing.

[Listening to him enjoy himself.]

Don't worry.

[thelightbringer]

Not too much melon?

[Also teasing, or trying his hand at it.]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

It's perfect.

You must have seen and known so much.

[thelightbringer]

Things were different then. It was easy to be swept up in it.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Were you very young?

[thelightbringer]

Very. It was when things first began to grow on the earth. Little single-celled creatures at first...

I know what it is to get older, mentally. To learn things, to adapt. What is it like to age?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I'm the wrong person to ask. My memories of those years are fragmented.

[thelightbringer]

[He leans back on his hands]

What would you do in order to be able to leave here?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Right now? Nothing.

[thelightbringer]

You like it that much, huh?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

In this moment... it doesn't hurt so much to breathe.

[thelightbringer]

[Lucifer flexes, stretches, as if testing the idea.]

...No, it doesn't.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Mm.

Lucifer?

[thelightbringer]

Yes?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

We should try to do this more often.

[thelightbringer]

[He makes a soft sound of agreement; he can't even remember the last peaceful night he's had, prior to this place.]

Eventually I'll run out of edible extinct fruit.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

We'll move on to candies from my memories.

[thelightbringer]

I still wonder whose tastes are more extensive, yours or Gabriel's. One way to find out I suppose, mm?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Only one a night.

[thelightbringer]

Xerxes. [The most serious of tones.] If you're looking for restraint, I'm not someone you should be around.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

That's what you have me for!

[thelightbringer]

To restrain me? [Deeply amused.]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

To teach you how to survive in a place like this.

[thelightbringer]

[There's a slight chill to the air that wasn't there before.]

This isn't the worst place I could be.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I know. I imagine you've lived through horrors that I couldn't even dream of.

But I know how to live in Adstringendum and be happy.
