( continued. )

I can't deny that that's a distinct possibility, Stelle.

But at the same time, seeing you like this... it brought a lot of joy!
And I think that's important sometimes, don't you?

[destroyersrow]

again: strong counterargument
that's very important
the galactic baseballer lives to bring joy to the hearts of the people
a few embarrassing photos (and a bruise or two) are a small price to pay

sorry for the delay! life kicking butt.

[scriptedly]

...Oh, no.
You're bruised?

Is there anything I can do?

no worries, hope life calms down o/

[destroyersrow]

it's nbd
i wear these wounds as a badge of honor
but
if you wanted to treat me to a burger* or something sometime...
i wouldn't say no
*i promise not to buy the whole menu this time

♥

[scriptedly]

I'll treat you to a burger whenever you want.
Or an entire menu! I really don't mind.

The biggest upside of being who I am is that I have a lot of disposable credits...

[destroyersrow]

wait do stellaron hunters get paid???

[scriptedly]

mm, how do I explain this..

It's less that we "get paid" and more that we're "assigned funds". You know?

[destroyersrow]

oh

yeah

that's not the same...

[scriptedly]

Ah... it's not?

Why not?

[destroyersrow]

because you can do whatever you want with the money if you're just getting paid
but like
"assigned funds"
there's probably rules involved right?

[scriptedly]

If there are, do you think letting you spend 20,000 credits on food was within those rules, Stelle?

[destroyersrow]

oh. good point
...so i didn't get you in trouble by blowing all that money that way?

[scriptedly]

Of course you didn't!
If I didn't have that money to spend, I would never have offered it.
Right?

[destroyersrow]

well you could've just been too nice to say no
a possibility i probably should've considered at that moment

[scriptedly]

Well! Now you know you don't have to worry about it.
Right?

[destroyersrow]

right
but as part of purging that worry
or something
next time we grab food together
maybe i'll pay?

[scriptedly]

If you want to, Stelle, I'm happy for it!
but to tell you the truth, the only thing that really matters to me
is that we do grab food together.
I always enjoy spending time with you.

[destroyersrow]

hard same
i always have a great time when we're together
even just texting like this is great
but nothing beats actually hanging out with you

[scriptedly]

I agree.
I'm only sorry that our paths are so different..
it means I can't see you as often as I like
Even if I know this is how things have to be for now..

[destroyersrow]

yeah...
knowing there's good reasons doesn't make it easier
like i'm sure our paths are gonna cross again
but whenever i think too much about it i get big kid-in-backseat-of-car energy
"is it time for our paths to cross again yet? how about now? okay, how about now??? well when ARE our paths gonna cross?"

[scriptedly]

ah... you too?
It makes me feel happy to know that you feel the same way about it, Stelle.
Elio tells me that it will happen when the script calls for it to happen, but I feel so impatient...

[destroyersrow]

yup, me too.
like it's only been what? a few days?
and it already feels like forever.
i miss you

[scriptedly]

I miss you too..
Sometimes I wish it were easier to defy the script.
But.. I'm glad we got to meet each other at least. I've been waiting!

[destroyersrow]

so am i
the time we got to spend together on penacony...
those are some of my happiest memories of my whole journey so far

[scriptedly]

Ah...

Stelle, that's really too sweet of you. Even with everything I put you through..

[destroyersrow]

don't even worry about it
getting a midair SAM princess carry kinda obliterated any lingering awkward feelings I might've had

[scriptedly]

ah
I'd like to do that again, too.

The look on your face was
Well, you looked really pretty.
