WELCOME POTLUCK

Greetings, residents! Those more observant sorts among you may have noticed a large influx of very crowded ferries. In order to welcome our new residents en masse, Town Hall is holding a potluck in Town Square. Please bring a dish if you are able and make a new friend!

All of our newest arrivals need only bring themselves. We look forward to welcoming you all into our community, and may your lanterns always be lit.

This event is open to all! In light of our new influx of prospective players following the Great Sail Migration, we've decided to offer a small public event to tide everyone over until the TDM this weekend.

"I know. I just need to remember asks will be answered, now."

The way Magne asks (in public!) for his time makes César's eyes widen slightly before they soften, and he makes direct eye contact, dropping his voice gently. "I will. I'll be free anytime tomorrow... and I promise to make time for you whenever you need me and in general here on out." His smile weakens slightly. "I got so wrapped up in my work that I forgot you need more than a full stomach. I'm sorry I haven't been around. I'll do better, and we can talk about that, too."

It does her worlds of good to hear him acknowledge that he is starting to overwork himself, to the detriment of other parts of his life. She wants him to do well, even besides being there for her, so to know that he's listening, really listening, is heartening.

"Thank you," she replies quietly, and lays a hand against his cheek to kiss the other one. Then she steps back and reaches for a fork to stick into the food on his plate. "Go, eat. I'll be picking my way through what's left in a bit so I'm hoping there'll be some of yours left too."

Seeing how much it matters to Magne shifts something in César's entire worldview. Magne not only needs him but needs to be there for him. César has to stop denying her that, and he will, starting now.

"You're welcome." His smile softens, eyes full of love, after her last little bit of affection... and quietly makes a note to figure out chopsticks for her. "If there's not, I'll make some just for you. I'll see you later."

wrap!

They're both figuring out very quickly that they're becoming pivotal to one another's well-being in small ways. They'd find their rhythm again, she's sure of it.

"It's a date."
