[It sounds a lot better than Ooo is, honestly. Not that Fern dislikes Ooo at all, he loves the place and doesn't want to give it up, but he doesn't really have many options, here. Trying to kill Ooo's beloved hero will do that. So... maybe a fresh start where people are more forgiving isn't such a bad idea.]

Might be nice, being somewhere where I haven't totally screwed up yet.

[Fern is just happy Varian isn't pulling away. It's just... it's nice, and comforting. And after a few moments Fern glances back down as he realizes something.]

Right, yeah. A lot of Sleepers are helping with that. [He's distracted as he says that, though, and he hesitates before shifting his grip a little so that he can hold his fingers against Varian's wrist. He's kind of baffled when he speaks again.]

Dude, it's been years since I felt a heartbeat.
