It's how it should be. Even if I wanted to date again after my husband, everyone in Lumière knows everyone else's business. If there were people coming and going all the time, it'd be easier to meet new people, wouldn't it?

[maellum]

I guess it's different now when there's more time, too. In Lumière, it never made sense to me. Time was always so short. For everything.

[cache_coeur]

Very different. But also a little bit the same. When you never know how much time you have, it's important enjoy spending time with people. You wouldn't turn up a good viennoiserie because it's only fresh for that day, would you?

[maellum]

I would take a viennoiserie over a date any day.

[She might even prefer to fight the Paintress again. A date sounds like agony.]

[cache_coeur]

As long as you're enjoying something, Maelle, it doesn't really matter what it is.

[maellum]

I'll do my best not to judge others for what they enjoy.

At least not where they can see.

[cache_coeur]

[Sciel has to pause before replying to laugh. Oh, Maelle.]

I find it VERY hard to believe that Gustave and his new wife are having a whirlwind romance worthy of your judgement, but if you need an escape, you can always call.

[maellum]

Oh, no. Not them. If Gustave managed that I'd be very impressed! I meant in general.

[cache_coeur]

Duly noted, then. And I will remember this conversation, the first time I see you making puppy eyes at someone beautiful!

[maellum]

Don't hold your breath.

[cache_coeur]

We'll see!

[maellum]

And puppy eyes? Really, Sciel? Please.

[cache_coeur]

Love makes you silly in ways you’d never expect in your wildest thoughts. And now you can’t say you haven’t been warned!

[maellum]

I do know what love is, you know.

[Familial love, at least.]

[cache_coeur]

It’s different when it’s a lover! Not better or more important but different. You’ll see.

[maellum]

That almost sounds like a threat.

[cache_coeur]

Does it? Maybe it is!

[maellum]

You're having too much fun with this.

[cache_coeur]

No such thing. Now, is Gustave going to let me kidnap you or not?

[maellum]

He will.

Maybe we can find him something interesting.

[cache_coeur]

Some little machine, or a book? Or maybe something that will get him out and about.

[maellum]

We can bring things back, can't we? He can start a collection in his corner. We can find a little machine AND a book. Maybe more.

[cache_coeur]

Whatever we can’t bring back by hand, we can fit in our Pictos, hopefully.

[maellum]

At the very least we'll try.
