Hey there. Drop me a line if you want to chat, I've usually got an ear or two to spare. Can't promise I'll be able to help, but I can listen, right?

I'm sure. Lots of catching up.

[ In a lot of ways she probably doesn't understand and isn't about to pry about. But since this vague tactic isn't working, it's time to just blurt out: ]

And, y'know, I'm just gonna be upfront. We aren't going to be, like, forcefully relocated to our homes or nothing once Love shows up. Right? I've grown to kind of like this cave. Also I've kind of kicked it in, like, two worlds over, which is two too many. I got a lotta' nothing waiting for me.

[ Not a ploy for information. Well. Not the kind he probably thought. Rose is just concerned about herself in this moment. ]

I don't think Love knows any more about the Door than any of us, so that probably won't end with everyone getting sent up. Glad to hear you like it here, though.

[ That? That is a sigh of relief from a breath she didn't know she was holding in. ]

Yeah, I mean. I'd like to make my stay permanent, if possible. I know it's probably a bit to ask, but...

[ Again, she doesn't have much of anywhere else to go. ]

I heard a couple of others want the same thing. Maybe you guys should work together, since everyone else wants to go home.

[hasitsthorns]

Yeah, I know I'm one of the few.

[ Which is what makes her hesitant to reach out, but... ]

Not much of a pack person either. At least not with strangers. [ It takes a lot for Rose to feel comfortable asking things like this of people. Standing with her and whatnot. ] But I'll do what I can, I guess.

Hey, good luck. Sounds like everybody needs that here.
