076: Spring!

I've really never lived in a place where there was lots of real winter. Not like here. And that means that I never really got to feel what it was like when Spring started.

It's amazing! The air smells different, flowers - crocuses - pop up in the strangest of places, buds are on the trees, robins are back - hopping in front of my house happily - and even the river seems... I don't know, happier maybe.

I can't believe that all my life I have missed something as wonderful as this!We should celebrate! Maybe have a picnic out here or something!

Tony? Did you plant the crocuses around my house so I'd see them in the spring?

Does... Does anyone know if Thomas is well? I miss him.

Me either.

We should start a campaign for permanent residency.

We should.

Do you think the Deities would let us stay?

I don't know. I don't know if asking would get us shown the door or not. But it's worth a try, don't you think? Would you risk everything to stay here for good?

Just about anything, yes. Pretty much anything except actually being thrown out.

Yeah. I don't know if I just want to... stop being. I used to not care about that. I had no fear of death. But I also had nothing worth living for.

Now I can't make that claim. Now I'd fight to keep what I have.

And I'd fight for you to be able to keep it.

It's good to have friends, isn't it? I'd do the same for you.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-03-23 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
It is - you would?

...

Yes. I guess I should have known you would. Thank you.

[identity profile] notapreacher.livejournal.com 2009-03-23 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
You wouldn't even have to ask.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-03-23 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh Gren.

Oh Gren, oh Gren, oh Gren.

I must have done something right somewhere to have someone like you as a friend.

I'm trying not to cry at your kindness.

You know what? Save the tears for the day I go to bat for you and bust up my hands and can't play saxophone for a while. Then I'll be glad for them.

Until then, leave them for Rain, not Wind.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-03-23 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. Wind isn't going to cry.

And I wouldn't want you to hurt your hands for me. That's too much. I'm not worth you not being able to play.

[identity profile] notapreacher.livejournal.com 2009-03-23 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Sure you are.

But I'll try not to let it happen.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-03-23 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
You're too good to me, Gren.

Please try very hard.

[identity profile] notapreacher.livejournal.com 2009-03-23 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
I'll do my best.

In the meantime, you take care, you hear me, Wind?

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-03-23 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I will, I'll take very good care. Of me and of Mat and Tony, too, if he lets me. Abby pretty much takes care of herself, but I watch out for her too. Just don't tell her so.

Your secret's safe with me.

[identity profile] notapreacher.livejournal.com 2009-03-23 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
My pleasure, my dear.

Take care.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-03-23 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
You too.
