Comments

for Claire

[payback]

[Her head pops right up, her mouth pops open. She recognizes that voice in turn and actually it's quite a welcome one.]

Claire? [And he knows her! She hastily throws her sewing aside and hops up.]

Oh my God!

[vinovidivici]

[ He jumps down from the horse and comes over to lean on the banister of the porch. His nature might have been too optimistic to let being forgotten by Jake and Maya put him off calling out to Rin, but it's still a huge relief to be recognized.

He's not relieved enough to forget to correct her - ] It's Felix now! [ - but it's said happily instead of the usual snappy remark, and in his eagerness he moves on without remembering to explain. ] You're looking swell, a real sight!

[payback]

[She leans up on the railing too, staring wide-eyed. Drinking him in a bit, really. This makes two people who've recognized her...]

Wow... Claire, it's good to see you. I can't believe it, I've been here for ages. [She shakes her head.] Sorry. Felix. What? Is Chane here?

[vinovidivici]

[ A broad smile fades a little wistfully at the question. ] No - she's not. [ He pinches his lip between his teeth for a second. He's had enough time alone under the stars in the desert to think over why that might be, and he's got a theory - but it's a little too much to explain to Rin just yet.

He blinks off that train of thought and grins ruefully at Rin. ] She missed you like hell when you were gone, y'know.

[payback]

Oh, my God. If I could have changed anything... [She shakes her head. The horrendous truth of living life between worlds, there's never a chance to say goodbye to anyone or for anyone to say goodbye. Not that she's seen.]

I've missed her too. I would love to see her again. I don't think this is even so bad here... [She looks up, ruefully, into Claire's eyes.] Did you just get here?

[vinovidivici]

[ He meets her gaze solemnly, resolutely. Being separated like this is hard, but Claire can't believe they'll never see her again, and what he can't believe can't be. If there is one thing the history of evolution has taught us it's that life will not be contained. Life breaks free, it expands to new territories and crashes through barriers, painfully, maybe even dangerously, but, uh... well, there it is. Life finds a way.

He inclines his head at her question with a thin smile. He doesn't think it's a bed setup either... ] They know how to throw a welcome party, that's for sure.

Why is it Felix now?
