I'll sail back to you

[boughtstockinsocks]

ALWAYS COME BACK They may be a rambler, a gambler, always on the run, a wanted criminal, someone with a higher calling, or just not the type to spend time with you (which may be fine by you), yet somehow, they'll always find their way back to your door. And they'll, again and again, find themselves wanting you, for support, for healing, for feeling alive, for venting frustration and anger, for anything and everything at all. You'll welcome them with open arms. Comment: prefs, info, preferred role, etc. Reply: to others. Thread: with them.

Honestly, proper coffee more than anything else.

[barderalready]

Well, that's simple enough! I'll pick somewhere with really good coffee.

Do you wanna meet at whatever place or should I pick you up? Or you can pick me up, whichever?

[hotspurs]

I'd like to pick you up.

So smooth. And then.

If it's walkable. Bill's sisters have the car.

[barderalready]

And yet again, what a good.

That's definitely doable, then.

[hotspurs]

If you're sure.

I'm excited.

[barderalready]

I'm very sure.

And I'm very excited, too.

[hotspurs]

I've really missed you, Archie.

That's not too much, right?

[barderalready]

Not in the least.

I've missed you, too.

[hotspurs]

Really looking forward to tomorrow.

[barderalready]

So am I. We'll have fun.

[hotspurs]

We will.

And coffee.

And maybe a walk? If you have time.

And if I'm over how weird it is to be on solid ground again.

[barderalready]

all of those things sound fantastic.

Even the getting used to the land legs part. :)

Is that a thing? I know sea legs are.

[hotspurs]

It is. Sailors and astronauts call it "Mal de Debarquement" sometimes to make it seem more proper.

Or if it lasts longer than a few days.

[barderalready]

I suppose everything sounds more official in French.

Or at least more like doom. Does anything help to make it better?

[hotspurs]

Forcing yourself to walk helps. Seasickness is your stomach actually pitching around, and landsickness is your mind not understanding why it isn't.

Brunch might help too. I've never tried it.

[barderalready]

Interesting! Good thing we'll get the chance to walk around, then.

And we'll see if brunch helps, too. :)

[hotspurs]

I'd put money on your actual smile helping too.

If that's not too forward to say.

[barderalready]

Not too forward at all.

I'm glad to hear you think it'll be helpful.

[hotspurs]

Maybe some hand-holding?

[barderalready]

Quite a bit, even. If you like.

[hotspurs]

I would really, really like that, Archie.

[barderalready]

Let's make that the plan, then.

[hotspurs]

It's shaping up to the quite the adventure.

[barderalready]

I hope you're thinking that's a good thing.

[hotspurs]

It's the best thing.
