( that's the outgoing message, really.

in any case, though, what he leaves in break's inbox is a link to this particular conversation he'd been part of. )
velveteened: (} i believe that)

( it's not as though he believes they must be in exactly the same universe as exsilium had been — moot at point as it is half a millennium later — but they've seen so much of alternate timelines and realities, have some background even from reveil. it's just terribly coincidental. )

The scale is much larger and the names are different, but...

Maybe the Initiative wrote us letters of introduction.

( though he's more afraid that if anyone did — the arrival here was so familiar, see, that the suspicion is hard to shake off, and perhaps just as hard to articulate. )

( the thought reminds him of his agreement with duke barma, oddly, that they'd made over half-decent tea in the glare of the moon's surface. but be clear, he'd asked as they'd (carefully, implicitly) drawn up the terms, is it survival or triumph that ye seek? oz's answer had been both, but even at the time it'd seemed weak to him.

and yet, these people really had triumphed, even if at a terrible cost. )


They said that bringing us here was an accident.

( he doesn't believe it yet, but neither has he completely written it off, either. )

There is...

( ...well, break is right to admonish, anyway, since that's exactly what he's been doing. )

Ah, that's true! There's no reason to worry too much. I wonder what sort of education they'd have on a spaceship; it must be very different from home.
velveteened: (} and my heart will go on!!!)

( he's so offended!!! )

Of course they would! I'm almost as tall as Lenalee by now!

( 167 cm not that he's been counting )

She's older!

( g o s h. he exhales before answering next, tone turning a little rueful. )

No. I don't think she's here. Ah, but she'd hate a place like this.
velveteened: (} what is the use of a book without)

( with her dark boots, it seems like putting a bird in a cage; no matter what, she's meant to have that freedom to fly. )

Mm. ( and after a pause, despite himself — ) I wonder what they'd be teaching in the schools, here. ( in SPACE )

( he laughs, a touch wry )

Somehow when you put it like that, it sounds like a threat.
velveteened: (} so you do have friends!)

[personal profile] velveteened 2014-02-18 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you think so? Ah, I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

( why on earth would he talk about them when he can repress why he ever had to know about them in the first place!! )
