As much as I like a break from the snow, I'm going to get sick of this place changing from freezing to warm every other month. It really...didn't need to put us this close to the water, either... It sort of reminds me of Kirov, but... I can't even compare this to an actual port city. I feel like the apartment will flood if it rains.... More

It reminds me of home... I wonder what they're thinking when they floodied the City again this time.

[.... Pause. Message? So, she's not the only one?] I... think I received a weird message just the other day too. Is also from someone named Loire?

[stargathering]

I hope not. I really don't want to deal with this, Katara...

[drizzlinginside]

You don't have to, Tyr... Like you said, it doesn't make much of a difference. No City papers or "divorce" can tell us what's official or not.

[Pause, this time her voice turns into a gentle whisper.] What's official is what we feel for each other, right?

[ Tyr falls silent, his jaw clenching and cheeks reddening. His voice is tight when he responds: ] Right...

[stargathering]

[ In proper fashion, Tyr shakes his head. He speaks a bit quickly. ] Anyway, Riou wants to go swimming later. Do you want to join us?

[drizzlinginside]

[She blinks.] But aren't we going to the dance?

[stargathering]

Are you worried about getting your hair wet? [ come on baby ]

[drizzlinginside]

Well, it's not that... It's just that the party starts in the afternoon and... [ a little more persuading baby ]

[stargathering]

I'm going whether you join me or not, so... [ How's that? ]

[drizzlinginside]

[So persuasive!] Fine, I'll join you. I'll just go get my swimming clothes, alright?

[stargathering]

All right. Meet met at my place - Riou is coming, and some others might join us.

[drizzlinginside]

[She nods.] Sounds like a plan. I'll bring my clothes there and just change.

[stargathering]

All right. I'll see you soon.

[drizzlinginside]

Definitely. [And she's off~]
