And so the joyous wyvern ran,
Over the field and through the wood,
Until she reached her long-missed cave
And thought, "yes, this was good."

Yeah. I'm good.

I've been talking to a guy I work with. He doesn't have a contract yet. I don't know how we'd make it work but I was thinking about offering if he can't find somebody else.

If you want to contract him, then you should. Don't worry about me.

Bellara will still need a contract, and if not her, there will be others. I will find a solution.

Don't tell me not to worry about you. I'm not talking about just - throwing you out onto the street or whatever. I could ask to take on a second contract.

Alright.

But it is fine. Really.

And if I have no other options, I have been taking some odd jobs where I can. Perhaps if we all pitch in, we could afford a bigger home.

Yeah. I was thinking about that too. I'd rather have a place we've paid for than charity from these city assholes. Somewhere near the water? The locals don't like it near the sea so it's gotta be cheaper there.

I could look into this. I've explored a bit over near the beach. Most of the buildings seem to be in disrepair. Unfortunately, I think the Lighthouse may be out of the question.

That's okay. We could get somewhere cheap and fix it up while we've still got our apartment to go back to.

Anyway. The guy I was talking about. Leeds. He said he'd like to meet you. Would it be all right with you if we had him over to dinner?

Yes of course. Find out what he likes to eat. I'll prepare dinner for all of us.

I will. Thanks, Lucanis.

I'm getting groceries now. There anything you want? If there's a fancy place you get coffee from I can go by there too.

Nothing at the moment. I'll make a new list once we sort out a meal plan for three.

Okay. Sounds good.

Are-

[Grunt.]

I'm just gonna ask. Are you doing OK for quota this month?

Unless the requirements have increased without my knowledge, yes. I am still seeing someone.

Good.

I still need to meet that guy. It's the same guy, right?

[and shovel talk his ass]

Gale. Yes, of course.

That reminds me. I asked the network thing if there's a word for like. How you feel about people.

[SURELY YOU MISSED THAT RIGHT]

That was not necessary.

[He was busy watching videos of rusty cutlery restoration, give him a break.]

I know. I just.

It helped me to have a word for what I am. How I feel. It helped to know there is a word so that means there are more people out there like me.

I thought it might help you too.

...well, I am used to being different, at this point. It's alright if there isn't a word for it.

Yeah. Okay.

You just - don't have to feel like you're the only one all the time. About everything.

Mm. Well that is one thing that it is difficult to not feel that way about, here.

I dunno. I bet there are other people here who are - demisexual. Like you. Just because they don't talk about it doesn't mean they aren't there.

...oh.

[He repeats the word under his breath.]

So it is not uncommon, you think?

I dunno about common? But I don't think it's really super rare either. It's common enough that there's a word for it that a bunch of people knew.

Hm.

Thank you, Taash.

Yeah.

And - hey. Your guy Gale. He's really lucky.
