[foodbin]

[She shakes her head, forcing a grateful smile.]

No. But, I did have another question for you.

[cyclists]

Ah? I am listening.

[foodbin]

When you were getting ready to... you know.

[kill a child,,]

You said you would see her soon in another time. What did you mean?

[cyclists]

[hmmmm.

lune will thoughtfully sip their tea at that, then offering up an explanation]

I have traveled through many lives, and many times, sometimes seeing the same people on a countless number of occasions, even if they do not remember it to be so.

I have reason to believe that I will see her again. After all, I owe her a dance.

[foodbin]

[...]

You realize I have no idea what you're talking about, right?

[cyclists]

[there is another soft laugh at that]

No... I would not expect you to.

Nonetheless, that is what I meant.

[foodbin]

...Right.

[She pauses for a few moments.]

I guess I just hoped... You know.

[cyclists]

... I apologize, if my words were misleading.

[they'll glance back to her]

But I am sure that in other lives, and other times, she is quite happy.

[foodbin]

That's a nice thought.

[And that's about all it is to her, but she doesn't voice that.]

I think that's my last question. You still want a return fire this time, or are you busy?

[cyclists]

I am never too busy to speak to you all - it is my primary role here, as far as I am concerned.

[they're always having a curious time

that said.]

Of all the things that humans have invented in their time, what is your favorite creation?

[foodbin]

[After a few moments:]

Well, you can't beat a bubble bath, as far as I'm concerned.

[cyclists]

That is when the foam that is normally used to rinse plates and bowls are used for bathing, correct?

[foodbin]

[She nods, even if she clarifies.]

Well, it's not dish soap. It smells better, for one.

[cyclists]

Does it...

[they are trying so hard to understand]

Mm. Are floral fragrances popular?

[foodbin]

Yeah. It's usually that or something fruity.

[cyclists]

I see...

Which do you prefer?

[foodbin]

[She thinks about it for a moment, then shrugs.]

Probably floral. It's less overpowering, you know?

[cyclists]

[there's a thoughtful nod at that

and then lune will seem to conjure up a small bottle of floral-scented bubble bath soap to hold to emma]

Then I hope that this will be enough to calm your nerves, when you have a chance to use it.

[make

the entire hot springs your bubble bath emma just do it]

[foodbin]

...Oh.

[She seems surprised, even if she doesn't hesitate to reach out and take it.]

Um, thank you. How did you do that...?

[cyclists]

[it's hers now]

The young one and I are capable of small physical tokens within this space.

Is it to your liking?

[foodbin]

Yeah, it's great. Thank you.

[...]

So if we needed something small going forward, we could ask you about it?

[cyclists]

Depending on the nature of what you need, it is possible.

If nothing else...

I wonder how many times I should invite you to always feel welcome to ask me anything.

[foodbin]

[She laughs.]

Right, I'll keep it in mind. But let me know if there's anything I can do in return, yeah? To fix the world or whatever.
