[Loras smiles, shaking his head.]

I think it is supposed to be the other way around, dear sister.

[But still, he takes his younger sibling's arm, unable to stop himself from pressing his lips to her hair once again before they start walking. He had just missed her so much, like flowers miss the sun.]

Have you been--have you been well here? To travel among the stars...it seems so beyond comprehension.

[If any of them could adapt quickly though, it would be Margaery.]

[partialities]

Like a child's tale, surely.

[ she places her head on his shoulder as they walk. they would make a pretty picture if it weren't for the masks ]

I've been well, safe and sound. My crew is wonderful and I have made new friends, some of them from worlds unlike our own but they are sweet and they made certain that I will want for nothing.

[dyingisnotdead]

That is all that matters, then. I do not think we are on the same ship but I have heard that transfers are easy enough. I will transfer to yours then. I would not ask you to leave your friends and and crew, of course.

[And Loras has no ties to his; he would go where is sister went; there was no question in that. She was all that mattered. Keeping them apart was an impossibility.]

What is the...position, you have been provided?

[It just seems strange to him, still. But obviously his makes sense, as security. But what Margaery would have been provided--she could do anything. But what she would have been given, he does not know.]

[partialities]

My duties are at the medbay.

[ said as she squeezes his hand in hers ]

I tend to the ill and the injured. Thankfully, the Windrose has very few of those but I am there to offer them aid if they do need it. I do favor this position, being able to assist is more than I can ask for in a place such as this. Everything else is so odd.

[dyingisnotdead]

[He squeezes her hand back, just...happy to feel it again. This brings him more comfort than he could say. He can't--it just doesn't feel real. Any of it, in truth. But it is; somehow it is.]

I am happy to hear that you don't have to deal with much--but I am glad you are lending help to those people. They have assigned me to security, which is no stretch. [He chuckles.]

I am sure you are not surprised. And yes, it is good to have something familiar, in such a strange place. Are we the only others from Westeros?

[partialities]

The finest security officer in all the vastness of space.

[ and she believes it. there is no galaxy, no planet that would present her with a man she would trust more than him and no world that would send her a man that she would be more partial to. ]

There are many others, my love. The King in the North, Robb Stark and his kin. His sister Sansa is here, you remember her, beautiful and graceful? and he has one more brother and a half brother, the one who stayed to guard the wall, Jon Snow and another sister, Arya. I was beginning to deeply envy them, such a large pack and then space gave me everything that I've wanted.

[ she doesn't need the entire of highgarden, only loras and that will be more than enough, more than she could dream of ]

[dyingisnotdead]

Vastness--I rather not like to think of it like that.

[Loras shudders slightly; truly, it will take him time to get used to the idea of them being out in such expansiveness. But as long as he has his sister, nothing else truly matters.

He listens to the list of Starks, and he rolls his eyes.]

They would be a pack--they are practically their Sigil. Though yes, Sansa is a very good girl. [Shame things turned out for her, as they did; but nothing turned out for any of them, as they planned. It would be good to see her again, though.]

It didn't, didn't it. [He smirks, tossing his hair slightly.]

As if time and space itself could separate us for long.

[Loras would destroy the world to get back to Margaery in so many ways. Why not the universe?]

[ooc: ftr things have been insane these past two months but I want to app probably mid/late july or august. I am fully intending to still, if there is a spot in the cast. That's why I keep replying. <3]

[partialities]

She is a good friend. It brings me joy to see her enjoy some peace.

[ a peace she hadn't felt, not until right now, not until her head met his shoulders and her arm tangled in his. she silently thanks the gods, the atroma, whoever it is that gave her this, the feeling of belonging, a reminder of home. ]

When you know your ship, I will come there. They will not separate us here, either.

[ ooc: ahhh I hope you will make it, I love your loras! ]

[dyingisnotdead]

She has seen so little of it; to be sure.

[Though in truth, all of them had struggled in different ways. To have peace, in small ways, in any way, is a Blessing. He might start believing in the Seven again, if this place proves so true.

He shakes his head, patting her hand.]

No, no--I shall come to you. I have no attachment to my ship, but you have already spent time on yours. Unless you wish to divest yourself of yours for some particular reason, it would be much easier for me to just come to yours.

[He would rather her not have to pick up any more of her life than necessary. He has not settled in like she has, after all.]

[ooc: well thank you! I love your Margaery!]
