It's not all on you, and it WILL be okay if we can't find a way. You have to brace yourself for that possibility. If it comes to that, I don't want it to hurt you more than it has to.

There are things we may not be able to change, and that's okay. It's not your fault.

[ she's had so much time to come to terms with this. to know that the moment she goes home, she's gone - maybe reborn again, but the person she was would be gone.

it's not your fault, she says. like it wasn't exactly his fault she'd been out there and vulnerable to begin with ]

no way
look
if we can fall through the multiverse and keep our memories of the last place we were at and somehow find each other again
we can find a way to bring them home
im not giving up
i love you ok

I'm not giving up, either. I do want to survive. I'm just acknowledging the full range of possibilities.

[ But anyway... ]

I love you, too.

Come over? We can exploit the Diadem's amenities some more while we still have the chance.

That, and/or tapas and drinks.
I think they have a milkshake with gold leaf on it.

teleporting now ill meet you in the lobby

Cool.

[ She maybe should've better considered the setting she'd aimed for. She's been writing and hunting down possible job leads, mostly curled up in her room in comfy clothes that aren't particularly fit for the more formal areas of the hotel. Recovery is quick enough, however. A dress, a sweater, and... Her hair's the biggest problem, but whatever, a little dry shampoo and a quick updo, and she's fine.

She'll have to text David later, see where this whole Loki thing has actually landed, whether the ripples can be smoothed out... For now, distraction is fine. Nailing down her own little segment of the multiverse is fine.

Josh is already in the lobby when she steps out of the elevator, and she slips smoothly into closeness, intentionally steady and casual in tone. ] Hey. You all right?

[ the nice thing about this magic charm is he could be wearing pajamas underneath it and it'd probably dress it up a little bit.

the downside is, of course, that he doesn't look much like the self he's gotten accustomed to being. the gold skin, silver hair, and empty white eyes are all replaced with all the colors of josh 1.0. perfectly human.

he smiles a little, looping his arm around her waist. ]

I'm good. Sorry for the freakout.

You're fine. [ Hopefully not too hollow a reassurance, and certainly not meant to force a feeling that isn't there. Josh obviously isn't fine in himself with the situation, but... Slow progressions. As long as they still have slow progressions, as long as they avoid out-and-out regressions...

The magical glamour borders on unsettling, always, harkening back to a time long, long passed. If it makes her squirm a little, she can't imagine Josh feels much better about it, but... No matter. She'll get used to this, too.

She tips up to kiss him, then starts their casual stroll towards the hotel's bar and lounge setup, where they've got the small plates and drinks and desserts. She puts on an air of cheerfulness, still soft and subdued. ]

Alright. Time to blow the budget a little before I have to figure my shit out and leave the hotel life behind.

I'm not gonna lie, it's swanky as hell.
