[ he takes it, squeezes it, tries to resist hugging her again. for now. ]

I missed you. You're fine now, right?

[motioned]

I'm fine. It just ended all of a sudden, the same way it started. It must have been something the Core did.

[rewritter]

Again?... I wonder why I'm still surprised.

It won't happen again, will it.

[motioned]

There's no way to know whether or not it will... This place isn't really, um, predictable.

If it did, though, I think it would end pretty quick, like it did this time.

...Does it bother you?

[rewritter]

... I was just surprised. If I'm bothered by anything, it's the Core and how damn unpredictable it is, not you.

[ okay, can't resist hugging again. making up for the lack of initiating hugs, okay. ]

I love you.

[motioned]

[She returns the embrace, wrapping her arms around him, her smile hidden in his shoulder.]

I love you too.

[ ... yeah he does prefer this to hugging a duck. kissing her hair. won't mind staying like this for a while. ]
