*smiling warmly at him*

And no letting them hang over your life, either. Because when that happens, eventually everything starts to look like a shadow.

Have you been out dancing yet?

[redesigned]

[distracted, thinking about that first bit oh]

-- Yeah. Yeah, uh. No dancing, not-not yet and I don't really need to? It's not really my thing. I'm fine just, whatever, talking and cotton candy, hanging out.

[mind_over_metal]

However you most enjoy yourself. Are your friends here?

[redesigned]

Uh, there's people I know, sure. Some aren't gonna show because of the danger, though.

[mind_over_metal]

Potential danger. Which is a valid concern. But I hope that they'll come if we end up getting an all-clear.

[redesigned]

Well--well yeah, of course. Me too. No one should have to miss out if there's no actual bad coming.

[mind_over_metal]

We'll have to keep an eye out for that, then, to make sure that no one's left out.
