*the time for my evening with Luna is drawing ever closer and while I’m happy and confident and eager for the most part, I am acutely aware of how long it’s been since I’ve courted anyone. I find myself calling @halcyonroyal because I simply…don’t know what to wear. It’s such a-
@halcyonroyal She really is a wonder. Even if it doesn’t turn into anything, I think we’ll have fun. Friendship can be just as important. *takes a deep breath* Right, then. I had better get started on getting the house ready and preparing dinner… Thank you so much for helping me choose an-
@halcyonroyal It’s not something that you have to worry about. It’s very much over and done with. *smooths out my shirt* To be fair, a lot of it happened during the curse. At this point? I want something real with someone who’s just as interested in me as I am in them. And that might be Luna.
@halcyonroyal *it’s a bit more than I wanted to reveal, but you aren’t a little girl anymore, so I might as well come clean* Just because I haven’t been /dating/, doesn’t mean that I’ve spent the past few decades…living like a priest.

@halcyonroyal *leans forward to touch my forehead to yours, one of the few forms of physical affection I can offer* That’s /all/ I’ve ever wanted for you.
@halcyonroyal *I listen to you speak very patiently and wait until you’re finished* I know exactly who he is. He and his brother came up in conversation a while back when the Golds were over to tea. But, I am glad you told me. And glad that Whale has set him to rights... And I know very well-
@halcyonroyal as much or as little as you’d like. When you feel the need to. *my mind is a buzz at the thought of you with someone, trying to imagine who it could be, but I trust to hear all about it in time*
@halcyonroyal Pick up more things for your…? Is there a certain someone in /your/ life? Now who’s not telling things? *but, it’s clear there’s no anger or hurt in my voice* It’s obvious we just have to get used to having each other in our lives again. It’s perfectly fine. You can tell me-
