Oh, yes. I never had any intention to stay long in my world - I'd rather be here, now.
[For a lot of reasons, mostly depressing!]
It's home, for better or worse! I'll admit, I'm a little glad so many people are coming back. Though, of course I'd rather everyone have the option to go home permanently, if they want to.

We're the same on that then.
[ Though his reasons are...not all depressing. Especially the David-shaped ones. ]
Selfishly, I agree, though of course if they wish to return permanently, I wish them speed in achieving it. Glad I'll have you awhile yet, though.

[Otto nods and does so!]
I did find the whole thing disorienting. Can't say I remember the trip back, but going there - it was as if I'd been dropped into the body of my own past self. Everything I brought with me was gone. A bit of a shock.
[Mostly: he'd forgotten exactly how much he was freezing cold, soaked in gross river water, and had also just been punched a lot and slightly electrocuted]
Was it anything like that for you?

Similar. I was dropped right back to the moment I left, which was my partner being crushed in a collapsing ship. It turned out alright and I appreciate knowing she's safe, but it was not a good few days, especially given I was rusty with my magick.

[Among all the other smaller gifts of clothes and teas and other delights is the true high grade gift: a silver pocket watch with the date they met engraved in it. The cover of the watch is engraved with their horoscope constellations, and a moon in the middle.]
You would not believe who just showed back up.
Billy. But younger. In the full heights of drama.
Anyway, I haven't asked yet. Figured he might take the free ride for a bit.

He's probably more stable than Josh was on his bad days. And no. Diminished powers compared to what you might remember.
I can ask if you want. I imagine he will say no.

A lot worse for him for his specific when. It's not a really easy point he's in. But dinner definitely. I think he'd probably be excited for it in his own way.
[They did, and David knew so much more about what Billy had gone through. How bad it was for him. The things he's lost and the times he hasn't felt like he belongs.]
Offering to him.
Darling, are you suggesting that someone should have Prodigy cater a welcome dinner? I'd rather keep David away from the office whenever I can. Imagine someone society not knowing who I am and kidnapping me for some dinner party raid.

Darling, are you suggesting a career change?
Hold please, fighting giant scorpion.

You really are. But I welcome it, my beauty. We'll look into it, together. And suggesting the next step in our lives is never overstepping.
It's mechanical, so no.

You really believe in this for me, don't you?
There are too many tech ones. It's tiring sometimes. But this one overloaded my technopathy. Migraine, yeah.

You are an angel as ever, mon trésor.
I'm going to try. Thank you. I'm also not sure what Billy's going to do with this offer, but yeah, maybe get the sheets changed in the guest room. I'll be making dinner either way, if I can move. If I can't, well, I'll bring something home.
