You definitely have. Even seeing you now, I can tell you've grown, Stahn.

[majinken]

I guess... I lot happened after the last time I saw you.

[things that really did force him to grow up a bit, though it's hard for him to really tell sometimes.]

[mombastic]

I can only imagine... I'm just glad you're finally able to relax a little.

[majinken]

Yeah. It's okay now... things are better, mostly.

[mostly. it's definitely not completely ideal in any respect, but he has a lot he knows he can't complain about, either.]

[mombastic]

That's about all I could really ask for.

[ Mostly. Well, that's how things tend to go, she thinks. Nothing's ever truly perfect. ]

[majinken]

I hope it's like that for you too now. Even if... we're still not sure about how you got here, or how to get you back.

[he wouldn't selfishly ask her to stay, after all. even if she's someone he misses a lot all the time now too.]

[mombastic]

I'm sure there's a way... it's not usually a one-sided travel method.

[ She says, like she's any sort of world traveler. ]

[majinken]

But you don't really know how you got here to start, right?

[not that this is new to either of them—they've both definitely encountered this before, after all.]

[mombastic]

No, unfortunately... I can't even remember if anything felt different right before it happened, either.

[majinken]

Hmm... I guess that'll make it pretty tough to see if the same thing would work again, huh...

[this whole situation is still pretty confusing, in the end.]

[mombastic]

I'm afraid so... I'll let you know if I remember anything, but for now...

[ She's pretty sure it just Happened. ]

[majinken]

For now, we'll just do our best. You can stay here as long as you need to, it's okay.

[it's not as if he would ever turn her away, after all.]

[mombastic]

As long as I'm not intruding on your family... though I guess it's fluffy enough with the sheep, I could sleep out there too.

[majinken]

Eh? There's no way it would be an intrusion! One of the Aileron family mottos is "Never abandon someone in need!" So... Gramps and Lilith will definitely understand.

[mombastic]

"One"... just how many mottos do you have?

[ really, that one sounds like it could cover just about everything. ]

[majinken]

Hmm... I don't know how many there are total! Gramps had a lot of things he told us were family mottos.

[who knows how legit they are, but stahn... is stahn. of course he believes in them unconditionally. they're the values he was raised on, after all.]

[mombastic]

... Well, if they're all like that, I'd say they're worth living by!

[majinken]

Yeah! There's definitely all really good things!

[aileron family values are definitely why stahn is such a pure bean.]
