I'll never leave without making sure you have a way to find me.
[ What an easy promise to make. It's not a small thing. There are so few people in this world that she's tied herself to. Matthias is one of them, one of the people she knows has been braided into the weave of her life. They'd find each other, if she left. ]
I promise, [ she vows, before letting a warmer, teasing note creep into her voice. ] I might even try to convince you to come with me, if I could get you onto a ship.
[His laugh is surprised, and has an underwater sound to it--a little choked, a little damp. Could just be the quality of crystal communication. Probably not that he almost cried.]
I'd just stay in the cabin and not look out any windows or go up on the deck. All that water, eurgh.
But if you asked, I'd go. [Blisteringly sincere. And so is,] Thanks.
[ I love you, Derrica doesn't say, because it feels too big of a sentiment to wedge between them. There's a little pause instead, where she just lets those words settle, feels them like waves slapping at the sides of a ship before saying— ]
You're a good friend to me, Matthias. [ is said with deep affection. ] If you'd like to come with me to Lowtown tonight, you'd be very welcome.
[That cheers Matthias a little, nearly as much as Derrica calling him a good friend. Is there any higher praise? But at her invitation, he truly perks up.]
If you really mean that, yeah. And I'll try not to get totally legless and embarrass you. I am better'n I used to be. Older, and all. You won't regret it. Thanks.
