It certainly surprised me.

[also wearing a simple gold ring]

[mind_over_metal]

Not too unpleasantly, I hope. Though I also hope that this wouldn't be considered a pleasant surprise, either.

[thexfactor]

Oh, not for me, I've gotten used to traversing to different worlds by now.

[mind_over_metal]

Really? That sounds wonderful! Where have you been to?

[thexfactor]

Well, we went to Japan a few years back. Then we took an intergalactic cruise on my birthday.

*very much not missing the "we," either*

That does sound lovely. Oh, I'm being a terrible host. Would you like something to drink, do you need a snack or anything?

[thexfactor]

I'm fine, thank you.

How have you been? Erik gave me a most testy answer.

[mind_over_metal]

*a bit of a huff and an eye roll at that*

I've... Things have been good. There was an enormous flood here about half a year ago, which is how we ended up in this location from the farm. Other than that, nothing really earth-shaking since you were here last, not for the camp as a whole.

We've had some students, from various points in time, come and go. Apparently, I -- you -- we -- adopt a son in some reality or another. He got married here. His wife's power proved to be a challenge, but we all came out intact in the end.

We've had some... rough patches, but things are better than they were.

[thexfactor]

I suppose that's good enough for now.

[mind_over_metal]

And you?

[thexfactor]

Our decisions are very different. But we've learned to compromise. I suppose I'm grateful to Sabra for teaching us that much.

[mind_over_metal]

For all that it took, it seems as though it gave you a lot.

[thexfactor]

It also took us a long time to adjust. But you're right. It did give back, but I prefer to think that we fought for it.

[mind_over_metal]

I don't doubt that you did. You're both fighters. And I'm... glad for you.

[thexfactor]

Thank you.
