My domain is relatively small.

Re: TRUE HEART

[senior_citizen]

Who could tell me, then?

Re: TRUE HEART

[dramatispersonae]

He who lives at the center of here.

[ He nods towards where True Heart is. ]

Re: TRUE HEART

[senior_citizen]

... Thank you, then. And good luck.

[ approaching the true heart ]

Re: TRUE HEART

[dramatispersonae]

[ TH looks up when you approach and gently knocks the back of his knuckles against your chest. ]

Good work out there.

Re: TRUE HEART

[senior_citizen]

[ startles a bit ]

Me? What did I do?

Re: TRUE HEART

[dramatispersonae]

Be yourself.

[ He teases, then more seriously if still smiling. ]

In England, I mean.

Re: TRUE HEART

[senior_citizen]

[ okay, reddening at that ]

I -- well -- I really do know how you feel. At least in general, if not specifically.

Re: TRUE HEART

[dramatispersonae]

The fact that you try getting close means a lot. Even if your particular method is unusual.

[ |D cute ]

Re: TRUE HEART

[senior_citizen]

Unusual?

[ shut up ]

Re: TRUE HEART

[dramatispersonae]

Outside his norm. I'm sure it isn't all that unusual for most.

Re: TRUE HEART

[senior_citizen]

I ...guess I don't know.

[ looking at the damaged spots ]

Is he going to be all right?

Re: TRUE HEART

[dramatispersonae]

He'll be fine. Give him a few days feeling wrung out and headachey, maybe even cranky. It's been awhile since we could pull out cranky.

[ He chuckles, then sobers up. ] Everything you all felt we went through again like it was fresh after all.

Re: TRUE HEART

[senior_citizen]

[ slow nod ]

Still. Compared to what could have happened...

Re: TRUE HEART

[dramatispersonae]

Everything turned out well. Try not to dwell on could-bes hm?

Re: TRUE HEART

[senior_citizen]

Of course. But ... well ...

[ taking other seed boost from Dream out of his pocket ]

If I can speed things along a little?

Re: TRUE HEART

[dramatispersonae]

You want to put it towards recovery?

Re: TRUE HEART

[senior_citizen]

Yes.

Re: TRUE HEART

[dramatispersonae]

Hmmm, we don't have a specific recovery team...

Re: TRUE HEART

[senior_citizen]

What about Penance?

Re: TRUE HEART

[dramatispersonae]

He reminds us of wounds, he isn't a catalyst or a repairer.

Re: TRUE HEART

[senior_citizen]

Scars are reminders of wounds that were repaired. And a city that's destroyed can't be rebuilt the same way again. Surely there's a way for him to do both.

Re: TRUE HEART

[dramatispersonae]

Not for him, no. Repairs for us are usually processes and changes that everyone consents to, rather than a role assigned to someone specific.

Re: TRUE HEART

[senior_citizen]

[ hmmmm ]

Then I guess it should go into the ground somewhere.

Re: TRUE HEART

[dramatispersonae]

Anyplace in particular, or are you asking me for advice?

[ He grins. ]
