[Amal just assumes Varian is, in fact, asking Elliot. But then he gets a text a little while later that basically takes all the unintended crying he gave Varian and catapults it right back into Amal's face. He has to stop and re-read it a few times, because this is the first time he's seen that word used towards himself in a way that wasn't completely facetious...

Honestly, it's all so much. Too much. He hides in the back of the jeans department and tilts his head back, sniffling and trying to get a hold of himself.]

Damn...

[Okay. Okay. His eyeliner isn't running. He's good. But he is absolutely going to come home and give this kid the biggest hug.]

i'm not someone who gets told that a lot so... thank you

i love you too...

i grew up alone but you and raha are better than any family i could've been born with. ive learned so much from you specifically like um
scientific things
how to be optimistic even when it's hard
how to be sincere
long division

... the point is that im the one who's lucky to have met you

anyway i'm out here picking up more clothes for you and fern in your sizes so you're not stuck wearing the same four shirts over and over

you have exactly one hour to prepare for the hug of your LIFE

[droptheious]

[Looks like they're just going to be passing the Crying Ball back and forth to each other this day, because Varian's poor attempts at keeping himself from crying crumble. ]

That's a shame, you deserve to hear it a lot. You're a great person.

[And he will fight anyone over that!!!

im the one who's lucky to have met you - well, now he really is crying, and he rubs his eye with the heel of his hand to try can calm the tears a little. ]

Wow, that's...that a big list. So glad to have been able to help you with the long division.

[Ha ha, jokes make all the emotion easier.]

Oh wow, really? Thanks, that's really great of you. I'm sure Fern'll be thankful too.

I consider myself well warned.

[thavnairian]

[LORD HE IS LOSING THIS BATTLE. Varian, do you want him to look like he got dumped? Because people are going to assume he got dumped with how hard he's crying in the back of the store right now.]

i don't know about that but .... if you think so i must be doing something right

[Their humor, or rather terrible way of coping, is pretty similar.]

everyone deserves clean clothes, a warm meal, and a place to sleep. if i can't give you THAT much then i'm failing at my job here

i've been on the run before, it's never fun. i hope we can solve all this sooner rather than later

if you wanted to stay a little longer after the danger's gone, though, i'm sure the others would be okay with it. you've been fine houseguests

[droptheious]

[That's just the risk you run when you get emotionally invested in a Disney Princess character, Amal. This is what you get. ]

I do think so. But I get it's hard to believe that kind of stuff for yourself, so I'll just have to believe it for you.

[Maybe between them they can even out their self-worth issues!]

I appreciate it all the same. And for Fern, too. I don't know what I would've done otherwise. Especially if they came and hurt him.

[Because of course he's putting Fern's wellbeing before his own, of course he is.]

That's really nice of you. I'll check how he feels about it. I don't know how safe the apartment will be. Even if the danger passes, people like Zodiac don't forget stuff like this.

[Because he's been on the run before this. He knows how this goes. ]

[thavnairian]

i can accept that

[TOGETHER THEY MAKE ONE FUNCTIONAL PERSON ISH...]

i know. if anything happened to either of you....... ugh, i'd be doing something stupid i'm sure. point is, the situation isn't that bad and we're not letting it get that bad.

i'm glad you guys got here before everything exploded

[Probably not safe ever again, honestly.]

yeah i don't think going back to the apartment is a good idea. there are plenty of other apartments, though..... i'm sure we can work something out. just hang in there

[droptheious]

[One single functional person who's still a little bit fucked up actually.]

I appreciate the through. I mean, maybe DON'T do anything stupid? I don't want anything to happen to YOU either.

I'm really glad too, thanks for giving us a safe place to stay.

...Probably not. I haven't heard from them since I put that announcement out, but there's no way they're just gonna let that lie. They're probably watching the apartment.

[thavnairian]

no promises, doing stupid things is kind of what i'm known for

[JUST TRY TO ARGUE THAT POINT, YOU CAN'T.]

it's been really nice, honestly. i just wish it were under better circumstances.

oh i'm sure they're watching. we'll figure something out, don't you worry

[droptheious]

I mean, I'm not gonna deny that one.

[He knows better than to argue that, Amal, he knows you too well!]

Yeah, it's been...pretty nice having a proper home. I liked the apartment and everything, but it's nice having a lot of people around, too.

Thanks, appreciate it.
