[ That's ... very nostalgic. And he doesn't know what to think of it, he has a lot of memories surrounding this outfit, and not all of them are positive.
...there isn't much that I would have wanted. I spent so much time meditating that there is little I desire. Of course it would have been nice to get some of the sweets from Inazuma, but those are merely a fleeting fancy. I would rather pick something that will have a more... lasting impact.
[ he's still unsure how he feels about the outfit itself, but he sits down on her bed, eventually, putting the outfit aside but taking the feather and putting it around his neck ]
I didn't want to ask for just the feather, so I thought the entire outfit would make more sense. [ she goes to take a seat beside him. ] Please take care of yourself. [ she can tell his self worth is... not all that high, but she hates seeing him hurt / hurting. ]
I can't really picture myself wearing it again. It brings up a lot of painful memories. ... but a lot of good ones too.
You know a little about my life with the Fatui but before then, I lived with humans. People who would craft blades for you. They were good people, and treated me well.
...you don't have to wear it. Perhaps it'll be more of use to you as fabric or, if nothing else, a pattern to make something similar. [ she sets a hand on him. ] But I wanted to give you a gift, because despite how poorly everything went between us... I still care a great deal about you.
[ she tugs him into her, her hand dropping from his head to his shoulder, so she can keep him there. ] I have learned a great deal about you and I'm thankful for the opportunity to have gotten closer to you. I doubt the pain from everything we've experienced will ever truly go away, but as you said... having each other certainly helps ease it.
I imagine that's going to be an interesting conversation... [ and one she's probably going to have a hard time believing when the time finally comes. ] This time I'll be there, waiting.
I can imagine, but... I'm glad that it hurts just a little bit less. Perhaps there's something I can do to make it easier to remember you when the time finally does come.

Did you really have nothing for yourself?

Re: post button game.
I want you to learn about me. And I want to learn about you too.
Even if some things are still too painful, I think it won't be as bad if we have each other.

Re: post button game.
And this time I'll be ready.
Re: post button game.
Re: post button game.
I care for you too. It's just difficult to admit out loud. But I guess I feel a little less empty since you started to accept me.
