Areas of great confluence? Well. That's certainly handy…

Yes… that's true enough. What of the others, though? I'd hoped to see them safe.

[lalabrea]

...I wonder why so many were scouted here. Solus had his influence. [ and that's when there's a crack of thunder. ]

Those two? ...If we are to cause a controlled Flow-esque spell, we can bring them with us. Controlled, for we'll be able to decide where we go.

[wordsinthesoul]

A back-up plan, perhaps? [he tucks around Lahabrea a little more, looking up, watching.]

And then… we could get them to Eorzea proper.

[lalabrea]

Let them see Eorzea, where... who knows? They might remember their pasts.

And Solus has more then just back-up plans. His love of theater isn't related to those, by the by.

[wordsinthesoul]

Mm. I wonder how they would feel. I’d hope to help them.

More? Plans that are already underway? [he stares.]. That- he loves theatre?

[lalabrea]

...Because one of them is close to being Minfilia. Is that it?

And plans in case they fail. [ a beat ] He does. Actors playing their parts - urgh, I don't know why he cares for Spoken deeds.

[wordsinthesoul]

That’s a large part of it- but they’re both friends.

Ah. Of course. [he hums.] Telling stories that the audience might not experience otherwise- you’ve never been interested?

[lalabrea]

...You befriend people far too quickly.

No, I've never been. Spoken are disgusting, and their stories are pathetic.

[wordsinthesoul]

They're worth caring for.

Ah. Well, the theatre is not for everyone. What do you enjoy, besides your work?

[lalabrea]

...Does it matter what I enjoy? I can't do it anymore. I doubt your kind will let me.

[wordsinthesoul]

If we could find something you could do, though, that ought to help. You might be able to build bonds through it.

[lalabrea]

...Gardening. And baking. [ Lahabrea whispers. ]

[wordsinthesoul]

Really? [he can't help his eyebrows rising.]. It's- well, a surprise, but some of the others are interested in those, too. You could ask them.

[lalabrea]

Mock it all you want-- wait. It's only a surprise? Bah. [ Lahabrea nuzzles closer, shivering. He's not crying anymore, though. ]

[wordsinthesoul]

Should I have said it was completely unexpected? I've not taken much to either, but I can certainly appreciate them. [he pulls Lahabrea closer, tucking his head over Lahabrea. This seems better.]

[lalabrea]

Do you recall when you returned to your body? I grew the flowers around your actual house. It was drab, and I had time.

...I sort of hoped a monster would come and eat me when I first came out here. [ Lahabrea admits. ]

[wordsinthesoul]

I do. I'd wondered where those came from. They were very nice. I- they should still be looked after, I think…

Ah. [he fusses over the back of Lahabrea's hair.] I… well. I'm glad it didn't, but- do you still hope that?

[lalabrea]

...You like them. [ Lahabrea said, smiling a little. ] They're ones which don't need much maintenance - because I didn't expect to be there often.

I don't hope it right this moment, Thancred. Not while I'm with you.

[wordsinthesoul]

That works out for both of us, then. I hadn't expected to look after them, but- it's nice.

Ah? [hm. He smiles, though.] I'm glad my presence could help.

[lalabrea]

...Only because I don't want you eaten, Thancred.

[wordsinthesoul]

Well. I still appreciate that. It's nice to know you wouldn't like that to happen to me.

[lalabrea]

Only because I care about you, Thancred. As more then just a puppet.

[wordsinthesoul]

More? I'd hoped for that. In truth- I feel that we've grown a little closer, over this time.

[lalabrea]

These days - I've got... damnit, I think it's a crush.

[wordsinthesoul]

…a crush. That's- I didn't expect you to say that. But- you have these feelings?
