[ Silence for a few moments as Shirley contemplates LionJesus's words - he has a rather comforting voice! - and then: ] It's... nice, to hear words like that every now and then.

[ She smiles, even though he wouldn't see it through the channel. ]

[aslandish]

[He may not see it, but he knows.]

Would you hear them again?

[lovereborn]

Mmm... I think so, yeah! At least, I wouldn't mind hearing them.

[aslandish]

[Wherever Shirley may be, the air warms slightly, the hint of a familiar fragrance in the air.]

When you have need, I'll speak them again.

I...

[ That smells just like... ]

[lovereborn]

Sorry, I don't- have we met?

[ It may have just been for a moment - but that was her father's scent, pure and simple. ]

[aslandish]

[His voice is his own, but sunny in its own right.]

I have known you long.

Do you know me?

audio

[lovereborn]

I- ahaha, we've met before, haven't we? Sorry, my memory is just - it cuts out, you know? [ A rather awkward, rather nervous laugh. ] It's - was it when I was young? It was, wasn't it?

[aslandish]

In your world, they call me by another name.

Would you know me better here?

[ She's confused. And... he's from her world? Is that true? But then again, he's been wording it weirdly...

A very confused Shirley finally clicks on a private video channel. ]

I don't... I'd like to know you, but I don't think I remember you. I think I've met you, but-

[ She's visibly confused by this whole conversation. ]

...my name's Shirley Fenette. And, I'm sorry for asking, but... what's yours? In my world, I mean.

[aslandish]

It is well.

I have many names, Daughter of Eve. Here, it is Aslan.

[ Daughter of Eve? Well, her mom's name is most assuredly not Eve, so unless he means- ]

Um... just checking, but you don't mean like Adam and Eve, right?

voice; private

[aslandish]

I do.

[lovereborn]

...oh.

[ This whole scenario is just... odd. Something's not quite right, and not in a bad way, just- she gets the feeling she's distinctly missing something. ]

How do you know me? When did we meet? Sorry, just- I feel like I should know this.

voice; private

[aslandish]

That is well.

You know me better than you think and shall come to know me better yet.

[lovereborn]

[ Well, maybe he just wants to remain enigmatic. Shirley can understand that. ]

I guess I know you, then, and... I guess I'll wait until then to know you better.
